Can some pretty please help me with drop shipping? I’m so clueless. I will even pay you once money starts coming in. Please I’m begging. Single mom to two boys plus a college student. I’m desperate

Hey guys, so basically, I payed a guy 130 bucks on fiverr for a Dropshipping course because a guy here on Reddit recommended him to me. The guy that recommended him has a social media ads account for his supposed shop, I searched his website that doesn’t even have that much traffic and all of his followers on the TikTok account are Nigerian bots, which line up with the fiverr coach’s nationality. It started smelling fishy and I asked for a refund on fiverr. No one can promise 5k each product just because he says so. Stay safe guys. DM me for the document the guy gave me on fiverr to see if it looks generic.

PS: I know it was stupid of me to pay that guy but I’m tired of people trying to scam me for dropshipping courses and thought this could be real for one time. The guy on Reddit said he spent 2k with the guy setting up the store.

** **Since July 1 there’s a flat €3 customs fee on every parcel under €150 entering the EU. Flat, not a percentage. I didn’t think much about it until I put it in my actual calculations.
I took 8 products that are trending right now (usual suspects — neck fan, pet hair roller, posture corrector, heatless curls…), pulled factory price from 1688 and retail from AliExpress, and did the math with the fee included.

3 of them are dead before you spend 1€ on ads:

• pet hair roller: sells ~1.53€, lands at 3.38€ → you lose 1.85€ per sale
• heatless curls: 2.51€ retail → -1.25€
• posture corrector: 4.49€ → leaves you 0.13€ for ads. thirteen cents.

The one that annoys me most is the heatless curls. 26 billion views on the hashtag, best engagement of everything I looked at, and at unit price it’s just not sellable here anymore.

What I take from it, maybe obvious for some of you:

**•** flat fee kills cheap products. low ticket direct from China is basically over  
**•** bundles fix it. same curls in a 3-pack at \~7.50€ and the fee goes from 120% of the price to 40%  
**•** the number I check first now is retail − landed cost = max I can pay per sale. if that’s not clearly above my expected CPA I don’t even test

Also everything is in a seasonal low right now (july), and one of them peaks nov-dec. So “skip” and “wait” are not the same thing, I almost confused the two.

For people selling into the EU — how are you handling it? bundling, raising prices, EU stock, or just eating the margin?

So I build my website and made a businessplan based on dropshipping, (Reselling without having stock) and I dont understand why it is so hated. So I am Selling calisthenics equipment. But because I want to start small without loosing monney. I am dropshipping them. What is wrong about it. Isn´t it just the same as Having my own stock, just that my stock. Please clear me up why people say there is no chance of making money with dropshipping in 2026. And no Im not tryna make it myself easy. I just dont want to start with a own stock.

My campaign recently started spending money (it’s a new account). The last 2 days did like $1.15 in spend when budget is $27/day. Today however it only did like 4 cents. What’s going on?

Uk drop shippers 🙋‍♂️ I realise this is big ask but am looking to get into drop shipping, have no idea on what to be believe online in regards to how it actually works and how to start as a lot of its US based info and am wandering if there anyone out there (hopefully south west area 🤞) I’d be able to talk to (maybe even come learn something in person?) or if anyone has any recommendations on legit forums to learn from.
Any help/advice/point in the right direction is appreciated 🫶🏽

I’m getting traffic to my streetwear store, but the conversion rate is only 0.3%, so clearly something isn’t working.

Store: https://swagwrld.com

Can someone honestly review the design, product pages, prices, trust, mobile experience and checkout flow? Don’t sugarcoat it — tell me exactly what makes you hesitate or leave without buying.

Any specific tips to improve conversions would be massively appreciated.

Man last year was a successfull fucking year, everything was going great I reached every goal i set for myself. I made a lot of money from ecom. But as soon as this year started everything went downhill... I know business is against being emotional but fuck it trust me I´m optimistic af and the most positive you can imagine but rn I wanted to share my position with someone who reads this... I lost almost all of my money I made from ecom and imma be honest it is really hard to stay positive and believing in myself. I lost self belief and confidence in the last months... sometimes u question everything after life hits you and you start to have self doubt from setbacks... but yea man if anyone is feeling the same way or experienced the same thing (losing almost everything) , I don´t know but I somehow guarantee you everything will be good soon ... just keep going.

Hi everyone, some of you might be experts or experienced in finding suppliers. Therefore I'm need of some guidance and support in finding good suppliers/manufacturers in Asia/Europe. I'm looking for a supplier who can ;

• Can dropship with print on demand model in the home textile category
• Is connected to Woocommerce,shopify
• Handle single customer orders
• Package customization

I have reached out to some suppliers/manufacturers on alibaba however many have high moqs, are not able to process or do not offer the product that I would like.

Am I doing something wrong, should I look on other marketplaces?

I have already come to terms that I may need an agent to help me find products/suppliers I am looking for, and I have seen the agents adds on websites like CJ, is that reliable? Thank you!

NO PRIVATE MESSAGES!

Hello, I'm just starting out with my store and I'd like some advice on what to do next.

So far I've added my products, and given them a detailed description. I've also added unique meta descriptions for every product and page. I've added Alt text to almost every image on the site and I've submitted my sitemap to Google Search Console.

What do you recommend i do next to get everything up and running and make sure that not only is the site great but my organic traffic is great as well?

Site is BirdFection.com

I spend $90 across 3 campaigns, some days it will be great returns, and some days it’s terrible like the photos I’ve shown. I made no major changes to the campaigns in this 2 photos. Just wondering if it’s normal meta inconsistency or am I doing something wrong.

I've been running my own online shop for about a year now. There are plenty of things that are frustrating or take up a lot of time due to manual work...tasks where I find myself thinking, "Surely there's an easier way to do this." But what about D2C brands that are already generating over €500k in annual revenue? What do you find to be the most frustrating part?

Looking for insight. Started running google ads… ran into some campaign issues as it was falsely measuring conversions every time someone went to product page. Fixed it and have been running shopping feed only 1 week about $20 per day. With these metrics should I double down or is there an issue? Should I find a new ad strategy?

Dropshipping question, especially for stores with longer delivery windows.

How are you dealing with chargebacks where the item is technically in transit bt the customer gets impatient and files item not received or fraud?

Do you send tracking updates more aggressively? Change delivery language on the product page? Refund faster before it turns into a dispute or hw exactly are handling it..
Trying to separate what actually reduces chargebacks from stuff that just looks good in theory.

What am I doing wrong? I use set a budget of 300 per day now I have changed it to 1000 but still I'm getting I'm not getting any sales

I've been testing mostly image ads, but I can't seem to get a CTR above 1.5%. I'd really appreciate some advice on what I'm doing wrong.

My process is usually this: I create 4 different creatives based on 4 different angles and test them against each other.

Most of the time, 3 of the creatives perform terribly (below 1% CTR, sometimes even below 0.5%), while one performs slightly better at around 1.2%. The problem is that 1.2% still isn't good enough to get cheap traffic or generate sales.

So here's where I get stuck:

In the past, whenever none of the creatives became a clear winner, I would just start over and test 4 completely new creatives with 4 new angles. Usually, one of those angles is actually the same angle that previously got the 1.2% CTR—just with a completely new image, hook, and overall creative.

The weird thing is that sometimes the exact same angle that previously got a 1.2% CTR suddenly drops to 0.6% or even worse. Then I repeat the whole process again, but I keep getting the same results.

How do you break out of this cycle and finally reach a 2–3% CTR with a creative that actually starts generating sales?

Should I stop creating completely new creatives and instead iterate on the best-performing one? For example, if a creative gets a 1.2% CTR, should I only change the hook while keeping everything else the same? Or only change the image? Basically, should I test one variable at a time instead of rebuilding the entire creative from scratch?

Or is a 1.2% CTR simply too low to justify iterating on that creative at all?

I'd genuinely appreciate any advice from people who have been through this.

Hi all,

I run a supplement store doing ~$35k/month USD, selling to UK customers. Email brings in almost nothing right now. Basic flows only, no campaigns. I want to hand it to someone who can fix that.

If you've hired an agency or freelancer for email and they delivered:

• Who are they?
• What share of revenue does email drive for you now?
• What did they charge?
• What would you do differently?

Cheers

It’s 2026, been hearing about drop shipping since high school, but what made you start and have you seen the success you wanted with it?

Hey guys I want to start drop shipping but don’t know how to I’ve watched videos and they confuse me. I just want to know where to find suppliers or buy products and where to sell them on and also how to promote the products. Any help is appreciated thank you and have a good evening

Yesterday was a solid day for my store.

But this post isn't about revenue.

It's about Q4.

Every year, I see people waiting until October to "get ready."

By then, they're already behind.

The sellers who usually have their best Q4 are the ones putting in the work during July, August and September.

Here's what I'm focusing on right now:

1.Testing products before ad costs spike.

2.Creating multiple ad creatives instead of relying on one winner.

3.Improving my product pages and checkout experience to increase conversion rate.

4.Building email and SMS flows so I don't have to rely only on paid ads.

5.Strengthening relationships with suppliers to avoid stock issues and shipping delays during the holiday rush.

One thing I've learned is that Q4 doesn't create winners ,it amplifies the work you've already done.

If your store is barely profitable today, Q4 won't magically fix everything.

But if you've built a solid foundation, optimized your store and understand your numbers, Q4 can be the period that changes your entire year.

A few reminders for anyone preparing:

Don't chase every trending product.

Know your break-even ROAS.

Improve your Average Order Value (bundles, upsells, quantity breaks).

Test creatives relentlessly.

Keep cash aside for scaling if something takes off.

Don't neglect customer support it becomes even more important during the holiday season.

The biggest mistake I made early on was thinking I had to find the perfect product.

The reality is that consistent testing and execution beat perfection every time.

What's the one thing you're doing right now to prepare for Q4 that you think more dropshippers should be doing?

Let's share ideas someone here might avoid making an expensive mistake because of this .
