Zendrop provides a few methods to help reduce shipping times based on their supplier network and product sourcing methods. Below are some key ways you can achieve faster shipping for your orders:
Using US-Based Suppliers
One of the most effective ways to achieve faster shipping through Zendrop is by leveraging US-based suppliers. Products stocked in the United States can be delivered to US-based customers within 2-8 days, following a standard processing time of 1-3 business days. To locate US-based products, you can:
Navigate to the 'Find Products' page in your Zendrop account.
Apply the filter for "Ships From: US" to find items that are stocked and distributed from Zendrop’s US warehouses.
If a product isn’t listed under the ‘Ships From: US’ category, US-based sourcing isn’t available yet, but we’re continuously expanding our catalog to bring you even more fast-shipping options!
Selecting US-Based Suppliers
Some suppliers available through Zendrop specialize in shipping exclusively within the United States, such as Amazon Products and NexoraUSA. These suppliers offer shipping times similar to domestic options but are limited to US-only deliveries. When shipping to other regions such as Europe or Asia, these suppliers may not be an appropriate choice.
Global Shipping Options
When it comes to international deliveries, Zendrop does not currently offer express or expedited shipping options. Global shipping times are typically 10–15 days, excluding the 1–3 day processing times, and represent some of the fastest shipping times available in the dropshipping industry. Though Zendrop experimented with express shipping in the past, it was found to be less efficient and more expensive compared to their standard methods.
For further assistance, utilize Zendrop’s 'Find Products' feature to identify desirable items that ship from specific regions and enable faster deliveries. Find out how to search for products on Zendrop here.
It is important to continuously review your inventory strategy to ensure relevant shipping expectations are met for your target market.
