Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the ali express dropshipping model. I fee l like we're living in an age of instant gratification. You don't go rent a movie you click one button and have it streamed. You don't order something and wait a week, it's there in two days with prime. Even something like when your phone or computer takes a half second to load think about how annoyed you get, it's almost kind of funny.
That said I don't see many buyers being willing to wait 2 weeks at the earliest, more than likely probably 17-30 days for an item to arrive.
I've been kind of critical of dropshipping for this very reason. I don't have an issue with dropshipping as a whole like you said having a relationship with your supplier, having faster shipping times, having tracking that can actually be checked, etc. I think that is a sustainable business model but ali express where you have no relationship with your supplier, etc.
I feel like the above model has become the idea of what dropshipping is and in reality a good dropshipping business imho is something entirely different.
Indeed been dropshipper one of the biggest issue is deliver time because buyer's don't wait for 2 weeks. I have been setting up dropshipping store in different niche for last couple of months what I have learn is to find products which are easily available in your local market and product those products through paid marketing which is much more profitable approach then dropshipping. Recently I have setup store on female dressing on Dropified using amazon and lucky able to pull around 10 sales in first month. Anyway thanks for sharing
