I have found lots or wholesalers, or retailers claiming to be wholesalers, who will do dropshipping. I am looking to open an actual physical store but I don't know where to find good wholesalers or distributors. I live in Alberta Canada. Does anybody know how I can find wholesalers of quality products that will deliver in bulk? To get products in the US would probably cost too much in shipping which would eat up any profits.
What specific type of items are you looking to sell. Home Garden makes me think of paints, wallpaper etc. Many manufactures don't often sell direct you buy through a vendor. Usually they price according to quantity of items like masking tape for example, a case will be less then if you intermixed numerous sizes. I don't know if 5 Star or Pecoa deliver to Canada, those are 2 co's we dealt with. Some items can have a big mark up while others are marginal, having a good POS set up for pricing, inventory can show you the cost when scanning can even block an item from being discounted if its a marginal mark up.
Contact the various manufacturers directly and ask for a list of their authorized distributors/wholesalers. Honest reliable drop shipper is an oxymoron. You will not be buying at wholesale, but close to retail and make no money.
