We know shipping costs and product pricing are important when choosing where to source products. Here’s how Zendrop makes it simple, transparent, and reliable.
Transparent Shipping Costs
With Zendrop, the shipping cost you see is the shipping cost you pay, no hidden fees or surprise charges. Shipping rates are calculated based on:
Product weight
Destination country
Product type
For every product, the shipping cost is shown upfront so you can make informed decisions right away.
Why Zendrop Might Look Different from Other Platforms
Other sites often show very low product prices, but then add high shipping fees at checkout. For example, a $1.99 item might end up costing $29 after shipping. On Zendrop, you might see that same item priced at $5.65 with only $2 shipping, much more predictable and affordable overall.
Some platforms also lower costs by offering promotional free shipping when you bundle products. Zendrop works differently: shipping is calculated per product, not per order. While this means bundling doesn’t reduce shipping costs, it ensures faster, more reliable delivery with built-in quality checks.
The Value You Get with Zendrop
When comparing Zendrop to other platforms, it’s helpful to think beyond just the sticker price. With Zendrop, you also get:
Reliable and consistent delivery times
Quality control checks before items leave the warehouse
Transparent costs with no hidden fees or surprise tariffs
This means your customers get their orders faster and in great condition, helping you build trust and repeat sales.

Once sourced, the product will be added to your catalog so you can continue selling it without extra hassle.
