Wholesale Product Distributors

North American Wholesale Co-Op (#3)
NAWCA provides three great member services. You can browse product catalogs from 2,000 wholesalers online. You can search through 100,000 products for the best discounts from multiple sources. And, you can search liquidation listings from multiple websites that are updated each hour.

For example, a product search brings up a lengthy list of suppliers. You can jump to each of their websites to examine product pictures and specifications or sort your results by price or country.

Most of the time, you're more comfortable buying from wholesalers within your own country. That way, you avoid sending advance payments overseas, paying customs duties, waiting two weeks or more for shipment, and so on.

The North American Wholesale Co-Op Association is a great way to narrow your search quickly to the top two or three companies. Then, you negotiate final terms directly with each company.

Sale Hoo (#2)
Great membership site for finding wholesalers and drop shippers for all sorts of interesting product niches. Everything is broken down by categories, so you don't have to waste your time sorting out the suppliers you want.

Categories include jewelry, clothing, DVDs, electronics, fragrances, jeans, iPods, shoes, watches, cell phones, Xbox, PlayStation, computers, sunglasses, remote-controlled cars, and many more.

Other site members post information about suppliers they've used and what experiences they've had, so there's kind of a community feel that's reassuring.

Another nice thing is that suppliers are listed who will sell in small quantities. You won't get their lowest price, but you won't have to buy in huge volume to get started.
