I'm too poor to have someone design my website, so I just decided to try shopify's 14 day free trial.

I wanted to get the nav. bar to overlap my hero slide, but I couldn't get it right. My nav. bar hid behind the hero slide, and it messed up the headers on my other pages.

[Anonymous No.2383811]

Btw, how did you guys figure out what taxes to charge? Since you have to charge different taxes depending on origin v. destination states in the U.S., see any special, local, state, and county sales taxes that may have to be added onto the taxes, etc.?

If you are referring to the taxes, I have an idea of how it works, but I have no idea how others are able to correctly charge taxes that follow every states' laws.

I watched some videos about how people charge taxes when their nexus is in the states, but some morons believe that they have to charge their state's sales tax on everyone (including out of state).

here is my question

do you have product at your house that you ship inside your country?

or just do it all through aliexpress?

[Anonymous No.2384113]

>>2383569
Ah, never mind, you haven't even started a website. I will just say that the products that I plan on selling fall into the "cute" niche. Although I'm currently using social media to attract more followers. Hopefully I can turn some of the into loyal customers.

Just find a specific group of people you can attract online. Goth, slut shops, anime, specific animals, specific cartoons, etc.

[Anonymous No.2384142]

>>2384095
I still haven't started my business, I plan on picking out products from Aliexpress, and shipping them directly to customers. Although since it is common to run into scammers on Aliexpress, I am making sure to investigate the feedback, amount of orders, ratings, etc. that the sellers have.

I believe drop-shipping has less risks than holding inventory because by holding inventory you are making the assumption that the good is going to be sold.

[Anonymous No.2384206]

>>2384095
Not sure if you are going to use a platform like shopify to make a website, but if you do, it is extremely helpful. There are tons of apps that you can insert onto your site that should drive up sales (such as a review add-on, timers for call to action, live purchases, coupon add-ons, pop-ups, etc.)

I'm doing this just to experiment. If I am able to make a few sales during the first month, I'll probably continue for the next month. As far as I know, having a niche, social media, reviews, a professional site, etc. are big factors in getting sales. Also, generating organic searches should be one of your top priorities. I'll focus on advertisements later on, as I'm using social media so far to build trust with people.

I need to learn more about how to automate sales with Oberlo, I tried to connect the products from Aliexpess there with my website, but it just made a total mess, and the descriptions were terrible. Is there a way to connect already listed products (on my website) onto Oberlo without having to link them first from there [aliexpress]?

[Anonymous No.2384318]

>>2384255

this is my situation

>buy from aliexpress
>get item in like 30 days

what if my customer starts complaining?

sometimes it doesn't even fucking send.

[Anonymous No.2384367]

>>2384318
Just be honest about it on the product page. I put the "Shipping time" between 2-4 weeks (because apparently epacket takes longer now due to the increased amounts of people using it).If the customer complains, you can reference the obvious shipping time that you listed. If they do not receive their item during the listed shipping time, then I would try to offer them free shipping so that sale might not go to waste.

Worst case scenario, you try to avoid making an angry customer, angrier, and you provide a full refund (shipping included), and then you contact the distributor and request a full refund. Remember, the customer isn't aware about your business being a drop-shipping business so avoid saying that "the distributor I got this from sent your item late."

Doesn't that lower your profit margins? I did some research on some of the products I plan on selling (in regards to U.S.v. Chinese prices), and in some cases, it's 10x cheaper to get the products from China (same quality, material, etc.)

[Anonymous No.2384426]

>>2384382
I know that, but whenever I selected the products from Aliexpress, Oberlo clumped all the products up into one section, I don't know, I might have just gotten mad at all the mess it made, and gave up on it lol.

E-PACKET.

[Anonymous No.2384447]

>>2384428
Isn't that taking a longer time now though? I read some complaints about people having their epacket shipped products get sent months later. I know it's more reliable than the other shipping methods though.

[Anonymous No.2384462]

>>2384447

>some people complaint, so it's bad

People complaint about everything, but e-packet is definitely better than standard shipping method from Ali.

[Anonymous No.2384481]

>>2384462
I know that, but It seems like there are more complaints about the shipping times increasing (supposedly a lot of people say it's because epacket is getting more popular). Just to be on the safe side, I extended my "Shipping time/arrival" to 2-4 weeks, even though on some of the products it says it'll arrive within 2 weeks.
