Finding Dropshipping Suppliers

What you'll learn from this lesson:

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to find reliable dropshipping suppliers and scale your business without unnecessary risk. The lesson starts with using AliExpress as a testing ground for your hero products, thanks to its wide product selection and low barrier to entry. You’ll learn how to evaluate AliExpress suppliers by checking sales volume and ratings, and why choosing suppliers with at least 100 sales and a 4.7-star rating helps reduce quality and fulfillment issues.

You’ll also learn how to use DSers to connect AliExpress with your Shopify store. DSers lets you sync product details, manage variants and pricing, and automate order fulfillment, saving time as orders increase.

Once you achieve consistent sales—typically 50 to 100 orders per month—you’ll learn when and how to move beyond AliExpress. The lesson introduces alternative suppliers like CJ Dropshipping, US Dropshipping, FF Order, and Weulfill, explaining how sourcing requests, faster shipping, and branded packaging help you transition from testing products to building a long-term, scalable brand.
