Many Canadians are interested in selling products online, either with their own website or through an online marketplace. Drop shipping provides a low-risk option for starting an ecommerce business in Canada, because it doesn’t require you to stock inventory or deal with shipping.

Online sellers, be they individuals or larger companies, sometimes reject drop-shipped order fulfillment because they’re concerned about the management of returns. It’s becoming easier to process returned merchandise, as both the suppliers and sellers work towards simplifying the process.

Most Canadian retailers and wholesalers haven’t caught on to the opportunity, or they dismissed it long before it was the feasible fulfillment option it is today. International companies that serve Canadian sellers are much more plentiful.
