How does it work?
To understand this business model, just imagine Aliexpress as the supplier and Amazon as the retailer. A buyer wants to purchase furniture on Amazon, so after receiving the order’s information, Amazon sends the request to Aliexpress, and Aliexpress will send the goods straight to that person. Those mentioned above are the process of dropship from AliExpress to Amazon. Amazon does not need to own a store or even see the real product throughout the process of dropshipping from Aliexpress to Amazon.
In reality, the processes go through these steps:
- As the front marketplace where customers visit, Amazon receives orders from buyers and right after that, forward orders’ details to AliExpress.
- In a nick of time, Aliexpress will get the request. From this moment, the whole process of order fulfillment is carried out by AliExpress.
- Assuming that there’s no problem occur and the case goes smoothly, after preparation, Aliexpress will give the products directly to the buyer;
- Finally, the customer takes the product and clarifies the order. Then, the order is entirely completed.
While as the dropshipping retailer, the process goes like:
- Assuming a product is being sold for 200$. The customer places an order in your Amazon store and pays you $200;
- After that, you forward the order’s details to your supplier, and pay them the wholesale price of 150$, keeping 50$ profit for yourself.
- AliExpress suppliers will fulfill the order and ship the product directly to your customer.
