Defintion of dropshipping at Wikipedia:
Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in all retail businesses, the retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.
Dropshipping is a way for the wholesaler to recruit affiliates to acquire new markets and increase sales of its products.
Why is dropshipping so popular nowadays?
Drophipping is popular for traditional wholesalers because it is often used as an additional sales stream.
Dropshippers like it too, because they cash in on the sale, hold the money and pay the wholesaler for the garments later on. Therefore they enjoy a positive cash flow without the risk of ending up with dead stocks.
