About half of the products I sell are drop ship. I contact individual companies and ask them to drop ship as opposed to using one of the drop shipping services since they all seem scammy and don't have real wholesale prices.

No most customers don't care if something is drop shipped. Most people are just consumers and have no idea what drop shipping even means.

You usually have to pay a small drop ship fee to the supplier.

If a company tells you they do not drop ship just tell them "that is too bad as one of your competitors drop ships for me all the time". They might just set up drop shipping on a case by case basis".

Sloppy drop shippers can hurt your online reputation because they might send to the wrong address, delay shipping, or send the wrong items.
