Here’s how the drop shipping process works, step by step:
- It all starts with a retailer (or a store owner) like you who sells products on their ecommerce website or another marketplace.
- The products the retailer sells are held by a supplier or wholesaler (TC Bauer company / eSutras Organics in this case).
- These products may cost $10 per unit on the supplier, (eSutras Organics), but you the drop shipper lists them at $13 each (so that you can make a profit of 3$ from the sale).
- When a customer orders a product from the drop shipper’s website (that will be yours), the merchant, us in this case receives a notification of the order which will be automatically forwarded to the supplier.
- The supplier will be the one who fulfills the order and ships it directly to the customer under your name. Please note that the products will carry our label but your name will be in the pack slip as the merchant.

Is there a fee with drop shipping?
This is a ONE TIME set up fee of $300/ and NO OTHER fees for any transaction as long as you are on our program. Buy one or buy as much as you want. No charges for each sale, or no hidden costs. Your customer pays for shipping. You log onto your account with us, you place the order – put your customer’s address in the ship to section and your order zooms off to your customer, with your name on the pack slip– voila!
Drop shipping guarantees discounts at a minimum of 20 % and maximum of 25% (more during special seasons) and we also give performance based specials to customers.
The fees go towards setting your account up at our online store so that you can download our ENTIRE catalog and upload easily to your store. You buy from us at the stipulated discount, start selling and we ship. You pay only for product and shipping. NO hidden fees.
What paperwork needs to be submitted and how will I get my product feed?
The license we need is either a FED TAX / State reseller ID / a URL to a site that you own (ownership proof via hosting site or other credentials from merchant acct etc) that has a shopping cart. This is to protect all our wholesalers and those who we drop ship for so that our products are not resold without our authorization.
Once your application is approved, you will use your same username and password that you used to register to fill out the application. You will have access to all the pages of the site that relate to the drop shipper's content. You will then be able to place orders on behalf of your customers at wholesale prices.
You will need to login to your account every time to do this. You will find ordering information, images, data feeds, instructions, specials, and drop ship orders forms on the members drop shipper page. If you already are approved and have a drop shipper account, login to place your drop ship orders.
Regarding our data feed, we offer a very clean feed in csv format. The images are also a bulk download. We do not have a sample feed, online but I can send you a small download.
When will orders ship out once I place them with you?
Shipping is usually same day or next day, if your orders come to us before 12 noon. No more than 2 business days for all orders. We do not charge extra for handling and shipping. Customers pay exact amounts as charged by carrier, and we pass on our discounts to them.
Stock status is usually live and reported daily.
We REQUEST that you PLEASE download and upload our csv files at least bi monthly.
