The wholesale business has become a very active business while being a person who sells wholesale products you also need a delivery method.  A good delivery method is the drop shipper who takes on the responsibility of delivery for you and maintains a large amount of stock for your business.  We have mentioned many of the online wholesalers previously now I would like to mention one that we are all familiar with.

Oriental Trading Company, which began many years ago, started with the catalog order system. OTC provided many different novelty items that you could buy for resale and have shipped by a drop shipper.  A pioneer in the wholesale and dropship business OTC has lasted a long time and offers products at great prices.  They also offer you the ability to be an affiliate and earn money by having your own website.

The combining of wholesale products with drop shipping has helped increase the retail business very much. The idea of having someone holding millions of products just for you and that you do not have to pay for him or her but can sell him or her and make a profit have been a boom.

The best method for combining the two procedures is by use of a directory.  We all need a road map at times to find our way.  It is very helpful to have a good directory so that you will know whom to use and how. The wholesaler's catalog is very helpful in providing you with the names of wholesalers, manufacturers, and drop shippers. The Wholesalers catalog provides one-time special deals, closeouts, liquidations, below wholesale prices, including pallet loads and even truck loads from around the internet.  You can buy in quantity or buy one product at a time.  This is great for those who sell on eBay. Just browse through the categories or use search to see for yourself the endless possibilities. The Wholesale Catalog Company has spent many hours and had their representatives travel everywhere to put together this catalog just for you. The Wholesalers catalog constantly adds so that you are up to date on products and drop shippers.
