What Is Drop Shipping and Print-On-Demand T-Shirts?

Last Updated: Tuesday 27th September 2022 By Admin

Dropshipping with print-on-demand technology allows e-commerce stores to sell t-shirts online without having to stock, store, or ship the items themselves. This part is all handled by us where we print pack and ship the order directly  to the (your) customer, making for a much easier procedure.

You as the retailer, doesn't have to keep or own any physical stock. This can be very beneficial for a new entrant into the market and offers a low-cost option for a savvy business operator.

The drop shipping company is usually the manufacturer or producer of the raw goods or product, and the retailer is the one that does the direct selling of the product to the end user.

The Drop Shipper holds the stock and ships it on demand allowing the retailer to concentrate on selling the product and marketing the product in various channels.

The retailer generally lists these products and promotes the products on his own website or through a variety of other channels that the seller has at their disposal and adds a margin to the price the drop shipper charges.

When the retailer receives the order and payment, they then notify and pay for the goods, then the drop shipping company packs and ships the order directly to the customer. Leaving the retailer with a tidy profit.

The main disadvantage of drop shipping is that the drop shipping company can often sell the same product to many retailers thus making the retailer's product a highly competitive product, susceptible to price wars.

The T-shirt fashion retailer can often be in a different situation, because, although, the drop shipping company may print T-shirts for many retailers, the retailer can have their own set of designs that are exclusive to the retailer. This can be very beneficial to the retailer, knowing that they have designed exclusively for their store.
