Why did we start OBIDROPSHIP?
The regular requests and suggestions from our customers has prompted us
to create the obidropship program. We hope that this will help every one of our
customers to stimulate sales to help them, and us, become more successful in
hard times. There are 300 million people in the US, this is a huge market and
OBI would like its customers to help tap into and expand into that market. We
think that the obidropship program will help our entire customer base become
successful. Everyone needs a way to make sales easier and more efficient,
obidropship will do just that.
Dropship Pricing
Lots of dropshippers seem to have these material
handling fees and processing fees that are added to your order when you check
out so by the time you are done the order is a lot more expensive than you
thought it would be. Well, OBI doesn’t want to do that so we don’t. To make
things easy to understand and your invoices easy to read every item only has one
set price on it. The only thing you will see on your invoice is the price of the
item plus the shipping. That is it; no handling fees, no processing fees,
etc…This way invoices are easy to read and you have a better way of knowing what
to charge your customers.
We are working to keep this very simple. You don’t do anything!
Your only job is to sit at home, manage your website, and sell merchandise!
List all of the products you see on our dropship website onto your website
without having to buy a single one. Don’t worry about items being out of stock
when ordering because we remove items from the website if we know the inventory
is low, and put them back on once that inventory is replenished. You can trust
that if the item is on the dropship site we have it in stock and available for
you to sell.
Only purchase items after you have sold them and sit back and
collect the difference. You can sell using our listed MSRPs but hey, it’s your
website and it’s a free country so you can sell these items for whatever you
want. It’s as easy as that.
We only ship in the continental US
Right now we only ship in the continental US, sorry Alaska,
Hawaii, Europe, Africa, etc…but we do plan on expanding to ship to those places
in the future. Please just be patient with us.

Policies
*HERE IS THE ONLY CATCH*:
You MUST use our website to place
dropship orders.
If you are in a pinch and must call the order in, there will be a $5 fee for the
first address and $2 for each additional address. The extra fee is assessed
because our employee must enter all of the information in our website for you.
We are also aware that by giving the addresses over the phone mistakes may
occur. We only want to do the manual labor for you. How often does a company
really want to do all the hard work?

Once an order has left our warehouse, the shipping
carrier assumes responsibility of the package(s). If you receive a package with
apparent damage, your customer must note this with shipping carrier at time of
delivery. We are not responsible for any packages lost, late or damaged during
transit to its delivery destination.
For all damaged items, OBIdropship requires at the minimal a picture showing the damage to the item.
In the event of damage OBIDropship must be notified within five (5) days upon
receipt of the item. This means that once your customer notifies you of damage
an email or phone call must be made to OBIDropship as soon as possible.
OBIDropship is happy to send replacement items to your customers as soon as
possible without the hassle of worrying about returning the item to us and
waiting on shipping times. However, we do strongly recommend you, the buyer;
have your customers return damaged items to you in some fashion so that your
customers do not have broken merchandise sitting about their home. We are
happy to file the claims on our end so that you don’t have to worry about any of
the paperwork.
