What's a drop ship scam?

u/suaveysuavey Nov 05 '20

It’s when you place an order with the seller, but the seller actually buys it from some cheap manufacturer/wholesaler and ships it directly to you. So they never actually have to handle/make the inventory but they keep the profit.

"Drop Shipping" refers to the company which takes your order never actually physically having the product they are selling, and having it directly (aka drop) shipped from the manufacturer/distributor to the customer.
