Does anyone have experience with someone else that they would recommend I contact?

Question: Has anyone taken their dog from Australia to UK and not used a specialist pet shipper? I am moving to the UK from Australia and wanted to know if anyone out there has ever taken a dog from Aus to UK and done it all themselves, not using a pet shipper.

Answer: Hi ya, Have done this years ago, and without using a company to organise, however it was all done by a friend who had a lot of expereince themselves. All worked out pretty good.... although, much much harder coming back the other way!
good luck with the move
Question: Doba i want to start selling items on ebay and need a good drop shipper? Doba i want to start selling items on ebay and need a good drop shipper although i will be shipping the items out my self becuse it is probly cheaper i still need the items to sell i was thinking about starting with DOBA any good or bad info will help alot and also how is their prices on items
thanks in advance :)
Answer: I tried DOBA for a year -- they make you buy a year subscription for like $300 or $400 and then they try to upsell you to all these add-on features. To me, they're just cashing in on people's dreams of selling on eBay for a living. eBay recommends them because they bring a ton of listing business to eBay. Everything DOBA sells is listed dozens of times by different eBay sellers.
And that's the problem, soooo many people are using DOBA, that it's difficult to find anything unique to sell. Just look at some of the sample stuff they offer and then search for it on eBay -- you'll see dozens and dozens of people selling the same stuff wth the same photos and descriptions. Too much competition. And the prices aren't all that great either -- the mark up is slim. They base everything on suggested retail prices, which we both know: no one ever sells stuff for the suggested price -- especially on eBay. So already, you have to cut down your markup to compete with the others. They also carry very little in the way of name-brand stuff. I'd keep looking... One great place to start is Liquidation.com -- where you can pick up pallets of stuff -- including store returns to re-sell.

Question: Has anyone had good or bad experiences with selling on the internet with a drop shipper? I thought of joining a website and doing some drop shipping on ebay. Is the market flooded with that type of selling or is there still room for me. Any advice would be appreciated.
Answer: well , there are lot of dropshippers out there. But you have to be very careful as there are so many scammers out there. If you are not educated enough , then you should read maximum stuff from Internet marketing related forums.
You can check one in my source.
Question: How can I find a reliable Drop Shipper.? I would like to make business on line.At first I should find a most trusted Drop shipper.
Answer: I went through lists of hundreds from scammers on eBay and other sites online. Its hard to find a reliable Drop Shipper. After months of searching I found http://www.BuyatDiscounts.com who's actually a free dropshipper. They have other programs as well on the site. If you care to find out more go to their "about us" page. After the million scams I found on the net, it was nice to bump into a company that actually cared. Good luck... (let me know if you need any help). Free dropshipping is hard to find so give them a shot.
direct quote from their site:
"You are sure to find all of the portable electronics you could possibly want here in our online store at a portion of the prices our retail competition charges! Find an extensive car audio and video selection, portable CD players, quality refurbished iPods, discounted Phillips mp3 player gifts, assorted clock radios, and new iPods to name a few of our products. Whether you are looking for inexpensive Nintendo Wii bundles, discounted Nokia cell phones, affordable Samsung cell phones, and Motorola cell phones, or if you want to buy DJ equipment; we offer everything you want here in our online store. If you are interested in finding a reliable and inexpensive dropship source, we encourage you to take advantage of our free dropshipping opportunity to ship all of the portable electronics you want."
Question: Who is the best shipper Fedex or UPS? Overall which Shipper do you feel is the overall best in your experience? Please give examples if you can!
Answer: FedEx - more drop off locations. But if you have a choice - try DHL. They're cheaper and have better customer service.
Question: Has anyone successfully used a drop shipper for ebay auctions? My wife and I are interested in starting an ebay business...but we are not good at buying junk and determining how much we should pay for it and how much some one might bid on it....interested in drop shippers, are there any honest companies that do this?
Answer: yes I've used one and in general it worked well. Only thing is some of the newer people on ebay will leave negative feedback if they dont receive items fast, very though I had this written in my item description.
Also ebay has a new rule where they suspend seller with less than 95% positive feedback, so if you're a new seller you have to be careful, as 2 negatives will leave you without an ebay account for 30 days
Question: Who come up with a contract betwwen a freight broker and a shipper? If i call a company and they tell me yea they can give me load will the send all the paperwork?
Will they fax the contract and whatever?
Answer: A lot of companies do this stuff electronically now, so your best bet would be to get the software necessary to communicate with them. If you want to stick with paper and fax, your best option is to use smaller local carriers, who will be more likely to want to deal with you. The bigs will tell you to get lost. The locals will fax you (or e-mail) the contract and expect you to fax it back.
BTW, they will not be too impressed if your spelling and grammar are not correct, so be sure to check any communications that you send out.
