However, there is a high possibility that you may face the problem of slow delivery and other unexpected issues during the course of your dropshipping business. Many dropshippers are not prepared for these ever-occurring issues and therefore can not solve them.

In this post, we will discuss on the delivery problems dropshippers face and how to run your business smoothly without any delivery related problems.

Delivery time

There is always confusion on how to differentiate between delivery and shipping, so we will define what exactly is delivery time and shipping time

Shipping time is the date the product leaves the supplier’s warehouse to the customer while delivery time is the date the package gets the customer’s doorstep.

This implies that the package may leave the supplier warehouse on 11th of July, which is known as the shipping time, while the product arrives at the customer’s doorstep on 11th of September which is the delivery time. With that being clarified, let us now explore the problems that dropshippers claim occurs during the delivery of their orders.

 

Problems associated with delivery

  • Delivery delay or slow delivery time: As the name implies, this when your package arrives at the customer doorstep very later than scheduled. This is a major problem many dropshippers face and it always affect their reputation and therefore leading to low volume of orders from the customers.
    • Lost of damaged packages: During the transit, packages may become lost or gets damaged which may result in the need to replace goods therefore causing additional cost for the dropshipper. Customers may also lose their trust in the dropshippers and therefore resulting in the decrement of received orders for dropshippers.
    • Communication breakdown: There may be communication error or breakdown between the supplier and dropshipper which may result in confusion on the status of the product or delivery delay.
    • Quality of packaging: Let’s say the products managed to get to the final customer, however, the goods have been vandalized due to poor pacakaging and handling which may result in return or exchange of the products. Dropshippers often lose their credibility and trust in the eyes of the clients.
    • Customer expectation:Customers always expect the best from their dropshippers and this include the expectation of super fast delivery of their products. Should the dropshipper fail to meet their expectation, then the customers feel betrayed or dissatisfied in their service.

     

    Aside from all these listed problems, there may exist other hidden problems dropshippers may face during the course of the business. Dropshippers that choose to find suppliers by themselevs or do not find a fulfillment company or find a unreliable fulfillment companies may face all these problems and many more.
