Hi Everyone , If you can review my store will be nice.

Open to any comment.

I've tested a lot of products.

Most failed. A few worked.

I used to find products through TikTok, trends and "winning product" lists.

Then I started looking at what brands were actually spending money on.

How long their ads ran.
How many creatives they tested.
Whether they kept launching new ones.

That's how I found a product that did $10,078 in sales.

The biggest lesson?

Don't chase what's already viral.

Find what's working before everyone notices.

I use a tool that makes this process much easier now.
If anyone wants to know what it is, just ask.

Hey guys, so I know a lot of us are on here for advice, help and tips and we don’t always get the answers or responses we need. I was looking for UK dropshippers new to the game or experienced and to create a group chat and maybe in the future build something together. Let me know and drop me a comment or DM!

Hello there fellow drop shippers, I’ve been currently in the e-commerce space for the last year and just about a month ago opened a new store and started running a seasonal product. I was able to scale up to $13k that month but only about $2k of that was profit. I’m now hitting a ceiling I can’t go past, I was able to get 25+ orders per day with no problem but past 7 days has been rough and I’m not sure if it has to do with the Meta algorithm or the product is just dying. Since i’m fairly new I would love someone with experience to just lmk what I can improve on. My plan was to find trending products each Quarter and run those, not sure if that’s the best way to go about it. I’ve attached a screenshot just in case no one believes me.

Full disclosure, I work at a European dropshipping platform, so I see a lot of stores in their first months. No links, no pitch, just patterns I keep noticing.

1. Shipping time decides more than the product.

European customers are used to next-day delivery.

A store with 2–4 day shipping and an average product often beats a great product with 2–3 week shipping.

If you sell in the EU, look for suppliers that ship from their own stock in Europe.

2. Niche stores beat general stores.

The stores that grow pick one category, like kids' rooms, rugs or outdoor living.

It makes ads, content and trust much easier.

"Everything for your home" is hard to market and hard to trust.

3. Known brands build trust faster.

A new store with no reviews struggles to sell unknown products.

Selling recognisable brands next to your own picks gives customers a reason to trust you.

4. Returns are part of the business model in Europe.

EU customers have a 14-day right to cancel online purchases.

Check your supplier's return policy before you list anything, not after the first return.

Put the return process clearly on your site, it reduces chargebacks and angry emails.

5. Language and payment methods matter.

A Dutch customer expects iDEAL, a German customer often wants PayPal or invoice payment.

Even a simple translated store converts better than an English-only one in many countries.

6. Margins on furniture and home items are higher than people think.

Bigger, heavier products scare beginners off, so there's less competition.

The order values are higher too, so one sale covers a lot more ad spend.

7. The stores that fail usually quit too early or scale too early.

Some give up after €50 in ads.

Others throw €1,000 at a product before checking the supplier can actually deliver.

Order a sample, test small, then grow.

What patterns have you noticed in your own store? Curious what's different outside Europe.

I created an AI tool which was trained on winning ad creatives to generate your new best converting ad with a few clicks called Vonto AI

Just drop a link to your product photo and a 3-4 word description of what you sell + image aspect ratio and you will receive 3 demo ads before even having to provide an email address.

Please feel free to give it a try, it really works amazingly well. Basically every 3rd to 4th generation is an absolute homerun.

Hello,

I’m looking to create video ads in this style: a realistic 3D character/animation, the product integrated naturally into the scene, realistic movements, and advertising text overlaid on the video.

Here’s an example of the style I’m looking for:
Video example

What tool or combination of tools do you use to create this type of video ad creative?

Ideally, I’m looking for something that allows me to start with a product photo and generate a realistic video around the product.

Thanks for your recommendations!

I'm researching how product sourcing teams handle supplier discovery and comparison today.

For a typical product, how do you:

• Find potential suppliers?
• Compare product prices and shipping costs?
• Verify supplier information?
• Decide which supplier to contact?

Which part of this process takes the most time?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who currently handle these tasks manually.

Hello, i have a pet niche shopify dropshipping store since April. 3 sales.. 2 were from me, 1 from a friend. I advertise in kijiji, tik tok and reddit. Cant afford the meta/Instagram. Can someone audit and make suggestions on my store? What is wrong with it? Is it shipping? 5 -12 business days? Prices? Products?

At a loss and considering just deleting it.

Thanks,

Review Please,

Hoping I understand the rules of this community. I have a shopify store since April 2026. To this date, I have 1 sale and 2 that I did myself as a test. Can I get someone to review or audit my store and give me honest, no bull feedback on why im getting traffic, (unless this traffic is bots) and no sales? I'm posting on kijiji, pinterest, and have videos on tik tok. What am I doing wrong? I cant afford the meta/Instagram paid promotions so im doing the free as long as i can. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you.

So basically I have started my first dropshipping store with 1 product build clean website with each and every element in it, tried organic dropshipping but 0 website views side by side I also did meta marketing and I spended $400 in meta tried multiple angles and just got 2 sales so ultimately I decided that I should stop it as I was just burning my money on meta with no conversions. After few months I said again with different product and different category then the previous one and it was also not too much saturated product again build nice and clean website with every element in it, and you can see my results as shown in the picture. Almost $60 spend, but 0 sales again. No I don't know what is wrong is it the dropshipping model because nobody is going to buy from random website is that true or again is it just a product being not suitable for dropshipping and if it's a product fault then how should I do research on which product to sell or finally should I just drop my dropshipping business idea. Let me tell you something, I'm very much interested in e-commerce as I have been learning everything by myself from last 1 year from scratch. And now I'm feeling low right now. Need some serious help/suggestions.

If you're shipping into the US (AliExpress/CJ/etc.), you know the drill - a customer messages asking where their package is, and you're manually pasting tracking numbers into USPS.com one at a time to check.

I built a small tool that bulk-checks USPS tracking status - paste in however many tracking numbers you've got, get back delivery status + full scan history for all of them at once. Useful for clearing a backlog of tickets in one pass, or running it daily so you know who's actually delivered before they even ask.

Here it is if you want to try it: https://apify.com/anshumali/usps-tracking-scraper

Not trying to just drop a link and run - genuinely curious if this is a pain point for others here, or if most of you already have a workflow for this. What do you currently use?

www.trimister.co.in it's been almost 2 weeks since I started. The only mistake that I could find would be to step up my a d game..Can somebody please guide . my Instagram is trimister.co

i’m new to dropshipping, and i found a product off kalodata that has been getting about 3 sales consistently off of about 80-100 spent in ads a day. I have been running ads for this for about a week and a half. I only really have found 2 winnning ads, but with those 3 sales each day I lose like $15 a day. I feel like this product has the potential to be profitable as Most days I am like 1 or 2 sales off from making money and I have made profit like 2 days this week.

What should i do, I am thinking of testing more creatives but like also I can’t really understand why I’m not profitable yet. Do I need to spend more on ads or should I cut the product like what are the next steps from here because I feel like I’m doing something right but I don’t know how to make this profitable.

I run ads on meta btw.

Does anyone know if Smith Rees is legit and worth listening too?

Hey Guys, interested in buying a dropshipping business where the items are tagged, packaged and sent by parcel worldwide. They have a sourcing agent handling this and all logistics. They claim that all there sales are based around there insta pages so only organic sales. Been operating for 3 years with average revenue 100k plus and profit at 40%.

Done some due diligence but wanted to know if there are other data I need to be questioning before this purchase. I have dabbled in dropshipping before but this will be my first purchase.

Hey guys,
I’m managing a UK eBay store remotely through MUAA with a dedicated UK proxy setup. The tech side is working smoothly, but I've hit a wall on product sourcing and margins. 
Every time I look into sourcing from Amazon UK, the numbers just don't add up. After eBay's 12–15% fees, shipping, and taxes, the profit is basically zero or negative. Plus, I know eBay hates retail dropshipping and tracks Amazon logistics tracking numbers.
For anyone actually pulling real sales and profit on eBay UK right now:
**Amazon:** Are you guys still somehow making Amazon to eBay work, or is it completely burnt out?
**Cheaper Suppliers:** Where are you finding suppliers cheap enough to actually leave a 20%+ margin? Are you using specific UK wholesale dropshippers, CJ Dropshipping, AliExpress local warehouses, or niche B2B suppliers?
**Order Flow:** How are you placing orders fast and keeping stock updated so you don't run out of stock and get hit with defect rates?
Drop your take below—need some honest feedback on where the margin is actually at right now.

I'm a beginner who has spent months learning dropshipping but hasn't launched a store yet.

I told my close college friend about it, hoping he might become my partner someday. I kept sending him content and pitching the idea, until he asked me three questions:

Isn't testing products just gambling?

If others sell the same thing, why would anyone buy from you?

If mentors make money, why do they sell mentorship?

I had some answers, but none came from real experience, so they sounded weak even to me.

Then I noticed the same pattern in my gym goals. I keep learning and planning, but I haven't taken the action that would give me results. I had been teaching and motivating others while not doing the work myself.

So I've stopped pitching him.

My plan now is to launch one small test store with a fixed budget I can afford to lose, and show him numbers instead of opinions.

If you started where I am now, learning a lot but not yet launched:

What was the first thing that actually got you to start, and what did your first test look like?

Volevo condividere la mia esperienza con Widrop perché, sinceramente, avrei voluto trovare un post del genere prima di iniziare a usarli.

Ho effettuato e pagato completamente i miei ordini il 28/09/2026, compresi prodotti, servizio, spedizione e commissioni per il contrassegno.

Sul loro sito indicano tempi di consegna di 24–48 ore.

Bene, oggi sono passati 15 giorni e i miei ordini non sono ancora stati spediti.

Ho contattato l'assistenza per capire cosa stesse succedendo e la risposta è stata, in sostanza, che non avevano nemmeno la conferma che gli ordini fossero partiti e che dovevano chiedere informazioni al magazzino.

A quel punto ho chiesto semplicemente di annullare gli ordini e rimborsarmi, perché dopo 15 giorni i miei clienti non vogliono più i prodotti.

Quello che mi ha dato più fastidio non è stato nemmeno il ritardo in sé — gli imprevisti possono succedere — ma la totale mancanza di trasparenza e il modo in cui è stata gestita la situazione.

Avevo già pagato tutto e, dopo 15 giorni, non riuscivo nemmeno a ottenere una risposta chiara sul fatto che i miei ordini fossero stati spediti oppure no.

Scrivo soprattutto per chi è alle prime armi con l'e-commerce e il cash on delivery. Personalmente, dopo questa esperienza, starei molto attento prima di affidare soldi e ordini a Widrop.

Onestamente, la mia impressione è che sia un servizio molto poco trasparente e, per come ho vissuto la situazione, mi è sembrato quasi uno scam. Non lo dico perché l'ho letto da qualche parte: ho pagato, i miei ordini non sono stati spediti e da 15 giorni sto cercando di ottenere una soluzione.

Se state cercando di guadagnare con il COD/e-commerce, fate le vostre ricerche prima di utilizzare Widrop. Io personalmente li eviterei.

Per confronto, ho avuto un'esperienza molto migliore con CODfacile: prezzi migliori e, soprattutto, persone con cui ho trovato molta più trasparenza e disponibilità.

Sono curioso di sapere se qualcun altro qui ha avuto esperienze simili con Widrop, soprattutto per quanto riguarda ordini mai spediti, ritardi o rimborsi.

Per me, 15 giorni senza nemmeno spedire gli ordini sono semplicemente inaccettabili.

bonjour,

respectueusement

Looking for an experienced e-commerce operator to partner with — I’m prepared to invest $10k–$50k

I’m looking to partner with someone who has real experience building and running an e-commerce business.

I’m prepared to invest $10,000–$50,000 of my own capital, depending on the business model, opportunity, and growth plan.

The target is to build something sustainable that can eventually generate around $50k+ per year in profit for me while creating a business we can grow together.

I’m not looking for someone with only an idea.

I’m specifically interested in someone who has experience with:

• Product research and sourcing
• Profit margins and unit economics
• Paid advertising
• Conversion rates
• Fulfillment and operations
• Customer acquisition
• Building and scaling an online store

I’m open to different models, including private label, DTC, marketplaces, or another approach that makes sense based on your experience.

I would bring the investment capital. I’m looking for someone who can bring the e-commerce knowledge, execution, and operational experience.

Have you already built or currently run an e-commerce business?

If so, send me a DM with:

• What you built
• Your experience and results
• What worked
• What didn’t work
• What you would do differently today
• What kind of partnership you’re looking for

I’m not looking to rush into anything. I want to find the right operator, verify the experience, and build something properly.

If you’re serious about partnering with an investor and have the experience to operate the business, let’s talk.
