Here's a rundown about how the basics of dropshipping works.

First of all, there's no upfront inventory cost or shipping logistics.

That's what Colourblocker will handle for you. We hold the stock and we ship out the products for you. You don't need to buy any products in advance.

With drop shipping, we send products on your behalf to your customer. It's as if the product is being sent from you, and the customer will never know. We use blind invoices so there's no confusion too.

So - you sell what you choose to sell from our range of inventory - through the channels of your choice. And you do not see the product at all. How good is that?

What are the steps involved in Dropshipping?

There's not much to know about the process. It's straightforward. Seriously simple.

The first step is that your customer finds you online. Whether you use Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, SEO or sell on other channels. You need to get the customer to your store.
Once the customer finds your website - and places an order the magic happens. You place their order with Colourblocker and we ship it to anywhere in Australia.
So the Colourblocker team packs and delivers the order to your customer. We send blind invoices so they never know it's from us. And we send the order out within 48hrs using Australia Post eParcel.

Dropshipping is a no-brainer.

It saves you the trouble of handling stock, buying too much, inventory - and you don't need to pay for storage.

We take those risks (don't ask why).

And if you've been in the e-commerce game in Australia - you know the nightmares dealing with 3PLs.

And you know how it's a fight to get the best rates for shipping.

Leave that all to us. Because you can dropship with Colourblocker, Australia's unique supplier of products people buy. And products that guarantee profit online.
