Summary:

Worldwide Brands are without a doubt the most established (since 1999), & probably the largest wholesaler & drop shipper resource on the net. They have thousands of pre-qualified US wholesale/drop ship/liquidation businesses in their database.

Product Format:

Membership site - one time payment

Features:

• Thousands of US drop shippers of brand name products.
• Thousands of US wholesalers that are happy to provide very small orders (less than $500) up to very large orders for even further discount.
• US liquidation wholesalers, selling a wide range of liquidated products (brand names included) at what is often less than wholesale.
• US importers that will sell their imported products direct to small businesses.
• Daily wholesaler updates.
• Built in market research that will tell you how many people are searching online for your products, how much competition you have, how your competitors are advertising & more.

Benefits:

• A trusted, established company with an excellent track record - member of the Better Business Bureau & the only publisher of wholesaler information that is certified by eBay.
• Over 7,000 US wholesalers, liquidators & drop shippers to choose from, all in the one place.
• Over 6 million different products to choose from.
• All suppliers listed are extensively researched & pre-qualified before being listed on the site.
• The nifty market research tool included in your membership :-).

My Review:

Worldwide Brands are definitely worth a look if you’re specifically looking for suppliers from the US for an online or home-based business. Their range of products on offer is second to none, & all the membership extras they offer really help to provide you with a complete product sourcing site. The only downside is if you’re looking for suppliers outside of the US.

I think the quality of Worldwide Brands site can pretty much be summed up by the fact that they are the ONLY publisher of wholesale supplier information that is certified by eBay.

Benefits:

• The methods outlined in the ebook will work in any country, anywhere in the world.
• You don’t have to rely on a wholesale list provider to tell you the names of your local wholesalers.

My Review:

Wholesaler Blueprint is a brilliantly written, very comprehensive ebook. It gives you the freedom to be able to source new suppliers for your business whenever you want, without relying on others to provide the information to you. If you haven’t had any luck with wholesaler lists, or don’t want to try one, this ebook is probably a good option for you.

My Review:

SaleHoo is an excellent resource for US suppliers. I didn’t really look into their listings for the UK, Canada (but they looked ok)  & other countries very much as I was mainly interested in Australian wholesalers or US wholesalers/drop shippers. Personally I was a bit disappointed with the quality & quantity of their Australian wholesalers. Overall though, an excellent resource.
