All About How Distribution, Wholesale and DropShipping WorksThe distributor, (wholesale drop-shipper), is the fulfillment company which takes the orders from you, the retailer (reseller), and ships the products directly to your customers with your business name on the box.

All About How Distribution, Wholesale and DropShipping Works

The manufacturer, such as Microsoft for example, designs, builds and packages the products in mass quantities in their manufacturing facilities.
Then Microsoft will sell and ship those products in mass quantities to partner distributors nationwide and worldwide as well. They will also sell to offline and online retailers who are able to meet their minimum inventory requirements. |
The distributor who purchased the product in mass quantities will then sell the product(s) to you, the retailer (reseller) who can purchase in smaller quantities or in single quantities as well.
And then you, the retailer, will sell those products from your website to the end user, your customers.
Your customers can not purchase products directly from the distributors and in most cases can not purchase from the manufacturers as well. They must go through you, the retailer, and order the products from your website.

And then you can contact and order the product from the distributors’ website or by phone as well. (First you sell the product from your website, and then you place the order with the distributor.)
Then the distributor will ship the product directly to your customer with your business name on the box. The concept is simple and works quite well.
Furthermore, some distributors have multiple warehouse locations making it that much easier for you to get your products shipped to your customers on time, every time.
