Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a seller lists products without holding inventory. Suppliers ship directly to customers.

Dropshipping has been used since the mid-1800s, beginning with mail-order catalogs and evolving into a key part of modern e-commerce and retail strategies.

Most failures come from chasing trends, expecting overnight results, ignoring systems, poor supplier choices, marketplace restrictions, and skipping brand strategy.
