    Yes droppshipping is allowed. Its a risky business for the seller though if the supplier has problems

    It doesn't really matter where it comes from surely, you have the book at a price you were happy to pay?

    Technically though sellers need to be very careful about drop shipping as they are required to post in a very timely manner and waiting for a third party is fraught with danger.
