    Default Online stripperwear store startup

    I did a search but didn't find anything.

    I want to start an online stripperwear store. I'd maybe possibly sell some street clothes too. I know a bunch of places just get their distributor to ship it out.. So how does that work? Do I contact a wholesaler and buy a bunch of stuff but they keep it there and ship it out? How do I get started doing this? Does anybody have any recommendations on wholesale companies or websites with more info? Anything you know would be helpful, thanks!!!!

    Have you considered selling on Ebay to start and see how that goes?

    I would do the ebay thing, but I need to have something to sell first

    How dropshipping usually works is you don't pay for the items until a customer has ordered them from you, in which case you contact the distributor,pay for it and they send it to the customer.
    The big downside which you have no doubt noticed is that very often the items are out of stock with your supplier so the customer is left waiting for months on end.
    You could buy in wholesale to avoid that, but the disadvantage is that you are tying up a lot of capital in stock which may not sell for a long time.
    I am guessing from your suggestion that you don't have a lot of space to store wholesale stock. I believe the arrangement you described usually goes by the name of order fulfillment.

    Most companies have a wholesale and dropship facility set up, but you would probably need to call them/email them to arrange a fulfillment service.
    Most companies will want to see some proof of business, I don't know how that works in the US soz. For me it was enough just to give them a made up business name at first (didn't register it or anything) and from then i would give my website address as proof of trading.

    Some wholesalers/dropshippers of dancewear:
    http://www.tonyshoesinc.com/
    http://www.elegantmomentslingerie.com/
    http://www.jfreemans.com/
    http://www.bodyzoneapparelstore.com/store/index.php
    http://www.sexycreations.com/businessesonly.php (sells a good few brands)
    http://www.lingerie4wholesale.net
    http://www.lingeriemart.com (can get good brands for cheap)

    I got out of it as its an extremely competitive market these days with everyone selling the same stuff. You need to try and have some USP e.g really fast delivery,cheapest prices,price matching,high quality items,unusual brands.
