Independent supplier research for a

Independent supplier research for a US e-commerce seller exploring women’s handbags through a dropshipping model.

The research focused on identifying suppliers that could realistically support direct-to-customer fulfillment in the United States without the seller holding inventory.

Suppliers were compared across key practical criteria including product range, fulfillment model, inventory location, MOQ, shipping times, return policies, sample availability, pricing information where available, and e-commerce integrations.

The final output provided a focused supplier shortlist, side-by-side comparison, key limitations and risks, and recommendations on which options appeared most worth contacting and testing.
