The title "best dropshipping companies" is often thrown around in marketing, but what does it actually mean? How does a company earn this distinction, especially in a competitive market like India? Before positioning ourselves—or any business—as the best dropshipping supplier, we must first define what qualities truly make a dropshipping company exceptional.

After working with thousands of resellers and evaluating hundreds of suppliers, we’ve identified 4 key characteristics that distinguish a top-tier dropshipping partner from the rest.

4 Characteristics of a Good Dropshipping Supplier

#1 – They Are a Manufacturer or a Wholesaler

• The Manufacturer: A manufacturer is the original source of the product. If they offer dropshipping directly, you're likely to get the best pricing with minimal intermediaries. Even if they don’t offer dropshipping, they can refer you to their trusted wholesalers.
• The Wholesaler: Wholesalers buy in bulk from manufacturers and resell to retailers. Reliable wholesalers manage large inventories across multiple brands and operate dedicated warehouses. A reputable wholesaler can provide consistent product availability and competitive pricing—key ingredients for your profitability.

#2 – They Share Their Bestseller Product List Without Hesitation

If a supplier refuses to share a list of their bestsellers, that’s a red flag. Trusted suppliers are transparent and focused on helping their resellers succeed. Their goal is to move products—not sell you a membership.

Beware of suppliers more interested in charging you for website development or “membership packages” than supporting product sales. A genuine dropshipping company thrives when you succeed in selling their products—not when you buy into their schemes.

Requesting a list of bestsellers should be part of your initial due diligence. If they hesitate, it may indicate:

• They don’t actually stock products
• They are a middleman or broker
• Their products don’t have a proven sales record

#3 – They Offer Product Samples

High-quality products are the backbone of a successful eCommerce business. Reputable dropshipping companies are always open to sending product samples so you can inspect the quality before offering it to your customers.

On the flip side, shady or fake suppliers—especially those selling counterfeit or low-quality goods—often avoid offering samples. This lack of transparency is a clear warning sign.

#4 – They Offer Same-Day Shipping

In 2025, fast fulfillment is non-negotiable. Today’s customers expect Amazon-like delivery speeds, and if your supplier takes 3–5 days just to ship an order, you’re already at a disadvantage.

Top-tier suppliers understand that your reputation depends on quick shipping. Same-day dispatch—if the order is placed before a certain cut-off—is now a standard expectation, not a luxury.
