I just got Auto DS. I am from Canada. Already spent 4 hours and no clue on what to do. The only suppliers available are Auto DS, Amazon, Aliexpress. No mention anywhere on how customs works when shipping to Canada.
Nice introduction to dropshipping in Canada. Everybody else is catering to the USA market yet places like Canada, Austrailia and Europe have huge markets as well and should be tapped for the revenue.

I haven’t even looked at Auto-DS yet – but if the product is so good and you “guarantee” that it’s going to help make is successful, why do we have to pay for it upfront? I understand there’s a free trial – but if I’m not selling any items, I don’t really want to pay for automation to help me deal with all the orders I’m NOT getting. My guess is that only about 15% (or less) of the people paying for this auto ds product ate actually making any money from their online store.
Hi, First thank you for your knowledgeable video. I am interested in drop shipping business for this do I need to make seller account on AliExpress or buyer account. Please help.

Hi sir. Thank you for this informative video. I’d like to ask a question. I live in Canada as a post graduation work permit holder. Since I don’t have my PR I’m aware that I’m not able to open a company in Canada. So my question is do I have to open a company or register my drop shipping business ? Also, do you think I could open a Uk based limited company and get a offshore bank account and maybe never dropship to Canada ? Do you think this way it would be legal ?

I thought by the title this video would be about dropshipping for Canadians, not to Canadians. If you live in Canada, shipping costs are far too high to make a profit from POD.
Hello, I live in Senegal and I would like to start dropshipping after finishing my year in high school. I'm going to Canada to continue my studies, and that's where I want to start my business. Is it possible to make my online store multilingual? As Canada is a bilingual country, having my store in both French and English could attract a lot more customers.
Pls I need an answer
