How does drop shipping reduce cost?

Sellers know that setting up auctions and shipping orders takes more time than selling. It takes time to take photos, crop photos, upload images, and of course, pack and ship the orders. The typical auction business model is heavily focused on listings, order fulfillment and delivery, on the other hand, drop shipping is clearly focused on selling. This business model allows you to reduce time while increasing your bottom line.

Take a closer look at some ideas on how drop shipping cuts time.

Preparation of product details and images.

The time spent preparing product details and images varies between sellers. You need to take as many photos as possible for each product to make sure the last result is correct. You need to spend more than 30 minutes to take photos, transfer the images to your computer, crop the photos, and upload the full images.

Dropshipping providers allow their members to use their specialized stock photos. Stock photos are usually high quality with good focus and lighting. In fact, stock photos are often better than those created by sellers. Since the items are ready, sellers only have to upload them. The drop shipping time is 2 minutes, so it saved almost 28 minutes of your time.

Box and label orders

The time you spend packing and labeling orders differs depending on the type and size of the item. However, long, heavy or fragile items require special care; small, durable items can be wrapped easily and quickly. Even if times differ, packing and labeling will almost certainly average about five minutes for each order.

Now, how long does it take to package dropshipping orders? There is no time! In drop shipping, you do not have to pack or label the order. This reduces stress and saves you time up to five minutes.

shipping orders

The usual process requires you to drive on the way to the post office and stand in line to deliver the orders. Individual times will differ depending on the distance you are going to your post office. It will probably take 45 minutes. With drop shipping, you don’t have to deliver the orders, all you have to do is place the ordered items online, which will only take 2 minutes. Time saved: 43 minutes.
