Drop shipping is an excellent way to get into business without having to spend a fortune on inventory you may be unable to sell. The downside to this reduction in risk is lack of control, but for most people starting up in business, this is more than out-weighed by the advantages. The process, however, is a little chicken and egg. Should you find a drop shipper first or a product niche? There are several different approaches to finding what you should sell online. 1. Look at lists of drop shippers to see what they offer and what sort of thing you find interesting. Most people will tell you that you do not have to have any knowledge of or interest in the item/items you intend to sell. This is true, but unless you can afford to outsource every part of your operation (and even if you can it's not a good idea) you will need to work on the product and to promote you e-commerce store. Both are easier if you have some knowledge. Both are tedious if you have no interest. If you have both, it can be fun as well as business. 2. Look at google keywords and see what sort of things people are searching for. This is one of the better ways to decide what to sell, you use the google...more

Any San Francisco courier company can tell you that you're always going to need more documentation to support any international deliveries than you do when you're just shipping domestically. Shipping internationally means dealing with many more laws and regulations. There are also more fees and taxes which need to be paid. The documentation is an important part of allowing the powers that be to make sure that all those laws are being followed, and that all of those applicable fees and taxes are being paid. Whenever you're shipping something between countries, the first thing that you're going to need to include is the basic documentation which should go with any shipment. The two most basic documents are going to be the invoice and the BOL. There are many other documents which might be needed for certain types of shipments, but these two are always going to be required. The reason these two documents are so important is because of how the customs and border agents at any country (including the border between the US and Canada) need to keep careful track of what is coming in and out of the country. They have to make sure that all of the trade agreements are being...more
