Shopping With BuyWholesaleSource: Our Wholesale Experience
This is what we experienced when we opted to shop with Buy Wholesale Source. They are a California based wholesale source.
My husband and I had been planning on advertising merchandise online through eBay. Our establishment has come a long way; now we run our very own online store advertising a solid selection of merchandise to some faithful shoppers. I hadn’t given any thought to wholesale suppliers before since we only marketed wholesale party supplies and accessories made in our town. Getting our stock from a wholesale source was going to be another progressive step towards a more stable profit. And with twins on the way, my husband and I wished to investigate all of our options.
A fellow eBay merchant recommended BuyWholesaleSource.com to me. She markets dollar store merchandise and had been doing so well for years thanks to BuyWholesaleSource. That sounded splendid, but unlike my eBay colleague, I didn’t realize what niche market I should try and tap into.
When I did go to BuyWholesaleSource.com it was pretty overwhelming. The range of merchandise was so vast I didn’t know where to begin. I thought maybe first I’d look through the categories and figure out what I DIDN’T want to advertise and pick based off of that. At that time I decided on acquiring health and beauty merchandise.
My wholesale reasoning for picking wholesale health and beauty merchandise was that they are something that I like and BuyWholesaleSource.com had a fine variety accessible to sell.
I didn’t make an order right away. Instead I took the photos and descriptions of the merchandise that I liked. My husband told me this was a better way of doing business since we weren’t sure yet if the merchandise we acquired would sell. I had my website setup and spent some time promoting it by displaying the pictures of the health and beauty merchandise that I had obtained from Buy Wholesale Source.
The only thing that really stressed me was how long the delivery time would be, so I phoned the staff at BuyWholesaleSource and asked since I was uncertain when I would put the order together for a customer who had first ordered through me. The people there a so helpful and friendly and ultimately saved me any storage trouble when they introduced me to their dropship service on the merchandise I was obtaining. When I told my husband about it he thought it was a fantastic concept. The process would be quicker and the merchandise would ship direct to our shoppers.
This service has been very helpful to us, especially when we were just started out. Now we acquire our merchandise in bulk and ship them straight to our loyal shoppers. We got our own photos on my site, and sales are streaming through nicely. Now we want to wrap up our eBay business to just concentrate on our health and beauty online store. BuyWholesaleSource.com has been a springboard for our establishment and soon our organization will run so smoothly it could run itself.
