Here’s a great question from Nasim, I wanted to share it alongside my response. “This course is really inspiring me to open my own store. Can you give me one more suggestion? From your experience which one do you think is better a specific product type or mixed product stores? ”
Example of a great everything store is chattuz.com
Example of a great niche specific store is http://www.deathwishcoffee.com/
There is no specific answer to this. You know Amazon itself is an “everything store,” and they are very successful. At the same time, a lot of Shopify stores are “one product only” or “one niche only.” If you target specific niche (like pugs lovers, pug owners for example), then your store should have only products for pugs because if they see a product for bulldogs instead, they will be frustrated and leave). I hope it helps, but there is no RIGHT or WRONG way here.
Here is my suggestion:
1. If you go with “everything store” then research top competitor everything stores and make sure to sell similar products at similar prices. This will reduce the chance of failure.
2. If you go specific niche, again use competitor spy tools and find out best-selling products in competitor stores and duplicate them.
Head to our website now and check out the competitor spy tools and start using information from your competitors to upgrade your business. Check it out here:

Choosing between the two can be quite confusing, but you have to find what works for you and then you’ve got to stick with it. Hope this helps out.
Keep selling, keep winning!
See you next time.

1. if the product is very cheap it's easier to just refund, absorb the cost and don't ask the customer to ship anything and wasting time with it.
2. if the item is very expensive them ask them to ship to virtual office address (which should have package forwarding features) that will redirect later the item to your dropshipper for replacement or refund.
3. monitor the quality and complains and switch dropshipper with high returns/refunds.
Identify yourself as the seller of your products on all packing slips and other information included or provided in connection with them; Be responsible for accepting and processing customer returns of your products; and
Comply with all other terms of your seller agreement and applicable Amazon policies.

Also I believe it's possible to find products with better profit margins on Amazon. also remember you can still bundle it!
I think having an amazon dropship business could be helpful for a lot of ppl? but shopify is a way to go to start it. Amazon still better for FBA!
thanks a lot!
It is Ok to use AlieExpress - just make sure that your customers know about the delivery times and the reason is because all products are made to order and direct from the factory.
Then scale up and move slowly to FBA once you know what sells best for your store and fullfill via amazon prime!
