World Wide Brands looks like quite a good company. They are certified by Ebay, members of BBBOnline, and claim to have a directory of drop shippers carrying over two million products you can sell from home. World Wide Brands charges a one time fee of $70 to access their directory which is a bargain compared to finding them yourself. For the person starting a new business this can be very valuable. Many products require drop ship arrangements as stocking 50 different types of shoes in various sizes would not be practical if you are living in an apartment. World Wide Brands allows you to find companies that will ship just one package at a time.

By comparison, if you go to a manufacturer of products you wish to sell, they usually have minimum volumes you must meet to buy from them, and you must store the products when they send you a truck load of golf clubs. Other times they will refer you to a tier 1 distributor but often it’s the same thing, they won’t ship it for you, just sell in lower quantities and at a marked up price. World Wide Brands lets you shop the companies really willing to drop shop so you can offer a huge selection, take the orders, and they handle the rest.

World Wide Brands appears to be a very reputable company in a field of places selling drop ship books that are out of date, or just plain fraudulent. Some only send you a directory of factories in China and you have to do the rest yourself. World Wide Brands is more like the Yahoo of drop shipping, they review each company personally and don’t just stuff every web site they come across without checking them out.

I’ve heard good things about World Wide Brands from my marketing students and all my research indicates this is a good company to be involved with. Overall I’d recommend World Wide Brands to anyone wishing to get into online selling of tangible products that are not practical to store in their home or a business who doesn’t want to keep an inventory but still have an online presence.
