returns and credit card charge backs

So-called "friendly fraud" is murder on these types of businesses.

Imagine dropshipping a big order, then a month after delivery the payment processor notifies you of a chargeback.

The customer claims to have never received the goods, despite UPS having proof-of-delivery.

Forget trying to fight it - payment card companies accept bogus chargebacks regardless of your documentation.

So now you've lost the funds from your sale, you owe a chargeback penalty, and you still have to pay the supplier for those goods.
