I have been researching drop shipping ideas as i hopefully want to start a small ecommerce website, i have been running a small digital marketing company for a while now. Can i kindly ask how you can please start researching products that may be popular or trending now? Does anyone kindly know any reliable drop shipping suppliers please?

Thank you very much and all the very best. Have a great Sunday!

Your basically asking dropshippers to share their secret sauce. If someone has a reliable and profitable dropship supplier they will never, ever share it with anyone!

It always amuses me when people decide "I want to be a dropshipper" without having given any thought to what they might want to ship, from where, to whom.

And even worse the ones that say "I've set up a website to dropship socks but I can't find a supplier!" You gotta love their business initiative.

The best drop shipper is one you make. There are plenty of companies with great products who do not sell direct to the public, but who deliver direct for you. I used to make very good money on French shabby chic wrought iron works, towel rails etc, never stocked or saw it once, except at an exhibition.

Wot MBE2017 said. There are loads of suppliers I use who will deliver items direct if required. The one thing they all have in common though, is that the word 'dropshipping' does not appear anywhere on their websites, so searching for dropship suppliers really won't help in this case.

100% this, work with suppliers who don't do it already or the market is saturated.

Look for an agent on the ground or a referal from someone if you want to really check a dropshipper! You should be really cautious with dropshipping though, if it looks too good to be true it definitely is and you have very little control over the ongoing quality or the supply chain, it really isn't the quick win people imagine when starting out, and your online shop can very quickly get bad reviews building up if something goes wrong. So choose carefully, and choose your "Shipping Options" carefully so you don't make a rod for your own back and disappoint buyers.

Best way to look for trending products is to go to the homepage of Amazon and click on the "All" in the top left and then look at the Movers & Shakers by the category you are interested in!
