-Drop-shipping vs Order-fulfillment-

To clarify, we stopped providing Drop-shipping services. But, through this page, we hope that we could give the young start-ups a better insight both into Drop-shipping and Order-Fulfillment for K-beauty products so that they can save their valuable seed money and time.

The global market for K-Beauty products has been growing rapidly. But it has also been getting more difficult for foreign online sellers to bring K-Beauty products of well-known brands into the countries to sell them carrying local stock. It is because customs clearance policies for K-Beauty products are getting stricter in each country.

Are you keen to make a great success of K-beauty products from well-known brands, carrying stock in your country? Then, not until you work out a secure way of seamless customs clearance, will you achieve your goal. The only legal way is to have formal contracts with makers, but it is not that easy for young start-ups. Instead, Drop-Shipping or Order-Fulfillment Services can be a viable alternative to overcome customs clearance issue in each country.

First, Drop-Shipping. Most drop-shippers of K-beauty products, whether they are in Korea or other countries like Hong-Kong, all run their own retail online-stores or have retail partners in Korea who sell products globally. It means they may misuse your customers’ contact information for their retail marketing at any time. We hate to break it to you but, as far as we know, there was no one who had been successful with famous K-beauty products, using drop-shipping services. We can say that we were a 100% pure wholesale drop-shipper for K-beauty products, but we failed to do business with the adequate number of capable global sellers who can help us turn over stock properly.

Next, Order-Fulfillment. If you have excellent marketing skills, this Order-Fulfillment can be considered most tangible option in K-beauty business. Instead, you need to be ready to invest in your own real-time stock and find a reliable partner in Korea who has strong competitiveness in prices for K-beauty products, courier rate and logistics. One thing to remember is that even Order-Fulfillment won’t promise your continued survival in K-beauty business. Your success will depend on how fast you could find out the promising but unknown K-beauty products or move on to the next stage with your private label. Makers of famous brands are trying to kill sellers on global platforms like Amazon and likely not to change their strategy at all.

Hence, our advice for sellers who are keen to join K-beauty business with good marketing skills is as follows;
– “get more interested in unknown potential brands”.
– “in the long run, develop your own private labels”.

If you already know well enough that you cannot achieve long-term survival only with famous k-beauty products, your success in K-beauty would not be a just dream. Do you believe you are better than other competitions at online marketing and have a great passion in K-beauty business? then we are always ready to help you.
