DO NOT Use Aliexpress For Dropshipping! (NEW 2023 Method)
When it comes to dropshipping, finding reliable suppliers is crucial. With the rise of e-commerce, more and more entrepreneurs are looking for ways to start their own online business. Dropshipping has gained popularity due to its low entry barrier and minimal upfront costs. However, one common mistake many beginners make is relying on Aliexpress as their main source of products. In this article, we will explore why using Aliexpress for dropshipping may not be the best choice, and introduce a new method for sourcing products in 2023.
Aliexpress is an online retail platform owned by Alibaba Group, a Chinese multinational conglomerate. It acts as a marketplace connecting sellers in China with buyers worldwide. While Aliexpress offers a vast range of products at affordable prices, there are several drawbacks that make it unsuitable for dropshipping, especially in the year 2023.
1. Long Shipping Times: One of the most significant drawbacks of using Aliexpress for dropshipping is the extended shipping times. Since most products are shipped from China, customers often have to wait weeks, or even months, for their orders to arrive. In today’s fast-paced world, where customers expect quick and reliable delivery, such long shipping times can lead to unhappy customers and negative reviews for your business.
2. Inconsistent Quality: Aliexpress offers products from various sellers, and the quality can vary greatly. As a dropshipper, you rely on your suppliers to provide high-quality products to maintain customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, Aliexpress does not provide consistent quality control measures, and the risk of receiving inferior or counterfeit items is relatively high. This inconsistency can damage your reputation and lead to customer dissatisfaction.
3. Lack of Branding Opportunities: Branding is vital for creating trust and generating repeat customers. When dropshipping from Aliexpress, you have limited control over the packaging and branding of your products. Customers may receive products with no indication of your business, which reduces the opportunity to build brand recognition and loyalty.
In light of these challenges, a new method for sourcing products in 2023 has emerged – private labeling. Private labeling involves working with manufacturers or wholesalers to produce products under your own brand. This method allows you to have more control over the quality, packaging, and shipping times, addressing the shortcomings of Aliexpress.
By private labeling, you can create a unique brand identity and develop a reputation for providing high-quality products. You can work closely with your suppliers to ensure consistency and build trust with your customers. Additionally, private labeling offers faster shipping times, as you can set up warehouses or fulfillment centers closer to your target market.
While private labeling may require more initial investment and research to find reliable suppliers, it can be a game-changer for your dropshipping business. It allows you to differentiate yourself from competitors, establish a strong brand presence, and ultimately provide better customer experiences.
In conclusion, if you are considering dropshipping in 2023, it is advisable to steer clear of Aliexpress as your primary source of products. The long shipping times, inconsistent quality, and lack of branding opportunities can hinder the success of your business. Instead, opt for the private labeling method, which offers control over quality, branding, and faster shipping times. Embrace this new approach and elevate your dropshipping business to new heights.

I am from NZ, surprised to hear you mentioned the Top 4 countries are US, UK, NZ, and CA, not including AU. Since AU's population and Market is much bigger than NZ's and there is no Amazon in NZ but AU has, I wonder why you picked up NZ as one of the Top 4 instead of AU? Thanks

Supplier! My greatest takeaway from this was that I did not know that CJ Dropshipping had a warehouse in the USA. I was not planning on using them because I read bad reviews about them from the Other warehouses, but knowing now that they have one here has changed my mind. Thank you for that information. Also for the info on Ship To The Moon!
