| Choose good niche for your dropshipping business
There are some specific niches that should be approached with great caution. We recommend you to think really carefully if you want to include them in your store.
Items that are usually carefully checked before purchase – sophisticated electronics, footwear, exquisite clothing, etc. When we buy such wholesale toys products in regular brick-and-mortar shops, we try them out beforehand and make sure they suit us by all parameters. If you include such offers in your store, be ready to deal with lots of product refunds and returns – most likely, your customers will experience some difficulties with ordering the right modification from the first time.
Large and heavy items. Huge packages may cause some undesirable shipping issues. At the very least, the cost of such a delivery will be frustratingly high, and your customers will see no point in ordering such an item instead of buying it in a regular store.
Items that can get damaged during transportation. Fragile products made of glass, porcelain, etc., as well as food, are not particularly suitable for being loaded in and out multiple times. Since the delivery can take a significant amount of time, the overall condition of such items by the moment when the package is received can turn out to be quite disappointing for the customer and, therefore, for your store reputation.
Items that can possibly experience some legal issues while being taken by a postal service and transferred through customs. Knives, fishing and hunting guns, bows and arrows, etc. can be classified as questionable goods by a postal service and customs, therefore it is vital to check their requirements beforehand to be absolutely sure you will not experience any troubles before shipment. Please note that these requirements vary in different countries, so take some time to learn more about these issues in your target region.
