Drop shipping is a fulfillment model where products are shipped directly from your partner to your customer, without you holding inventory. It eliminates the need for warehouses and large upfront investments, making it a smart option for many e-commerce and retail businesses.
For startups, drop shipping services mean you can enter the market quickly without the burden of managing stock or space. For established CPG brands, contract drop shipping adds flexibility by enabling direct-to-customer delivery and supporting new channels without expanding infrastructure.
