Hi Guy's
Anyone interested in drop shipping I think should look at INDIA. However you need to be sure they understand your requirements and that they understand what drop shipping is. I put a request on Link hidden: Login to view and was inundated with people trying to for fill my request. Please be aware that many of them do not know what drop shipping is, you have to explain every step, including how and when you pay them for the goods when they ship the goods - every little step. I think INDIA has good prices with a lower percentage of scammers than china, usually products are of a good quality as well.
I have drop shippers in INDIA and have made good deals with them. Also if you are selling world wide many places are cheaper to ship to from INDIA then from Australia. I have items I buy for $82.00 and sell for $197.00, these items are shipped with DHL within 24 hours of me sending the order usually same day. I am payed by customer instantly via paypal, every two weeks The supplier sends me an invoice and I pay them. I do pay a $5.00 drop ship fee which is minimal on items of this value.
I have requested from a few customers to give me a review of the product quality, Delivery times and Packaging, all reports have been good so far. I just tell the customer that this is a new supplier and I want to be sure that my customers are happy - everyone I have asked has responded favourably.
On saying all that you must understand there is a language barrier - or more so a difference in understanding terminology.
You must be sure that both parties are agreeing on what you think you are.
If anyone is looking specifically at drop shipping or importing leather handmade products from India specifically bags of all sorts they can contact me and I may be able to help in your quest.
