re: My 15-year-old kid wants to start dropshipping

I had an e-commerce store that was primarily dropship. Most of the companies/manufacturers I partnered with didn't sell directly to the consumer, weren't in bigbox stores, and implemented a MAP pricing policy. I sold my store at the beginning of Covid because most of the products were made in Europe or Asia and it seemed like getting them would be problematic
It was definitely profitable but Amazon really changed the game. Very hard to compete with their free shipping and distribution network. The customer service aspect (dealing with lost or damaged products from shipping) was a massive headache and more trouble than I anticipated

Drop Ship is delivery technique by suppliers/distributors when they get an order for something they don't have on the shelf. In my business, I'll order 10 different items from my supplier, but let's say one of the items is out of stock, they ask me if I want to wait on the whole order to be complete or if they can ship me my 9 items and drop-ship the missing item from the supplier/manufacturer. If I need it all together for some reason, I'll wait. If I don't mind having my items piecemealed to me (increased shipping costs) but it's time sensitive, then I'll ask for drop-ship.
It's not a business model. It's an order fulfillment process.
