Trying again...

Ok, after a few false starts I'm giving this another try.

I own a small business - not going to name or promote it here at any point.

We offer drop shipping but it's a slow growth even though our web sales are very good.

All I want to know is if drop shipping is a bit dead these days or is there something you expect from it (eg. Good discount off retail prices etc.)

Again, I'm not here to promote I'm just wanting information!

    As an online seller myself I would not risk using a drop shipper to supply my customers. If I don't physically hold the stock then I would not risk selling it, and with the views I read on here about drop shipping I suspect I am not alone.
