Hello fastlaners,
I am currently dropshipping on Amazon with a very reliable dropshipper. I don't have my own inventory as of now and have never used Amazon FBA before. I have to decide whether it is better for me to have my own inventory/do FBA instead of dropshipping. I have 12K USD to work with (saying this just in case this would influence your answer.
My question to you guys is: What are the pro's and con's of having your own inventory/doing FBA? For example: is it a real hassle to import and restock or is it pretty straightforward when you get the hang of it? I've never imported before so I have no imagination as to what kind of difficulties it would bring along.
The advantage for me that I know of when choosing FBA/having inventory is that I will get twice as much profit per sold item because my dropshipper is pretty expensive and I can buy more stock using the money I have. So I will have higher margins. But as of now dropshipping is pretty easy and it goes really well, so I'm looking to figure out whether the switch is worth it.
I would appreciate some answers from you guys who have experience with having inventory in general and using FBA.
Thank you very much!
