Many dropshippers have a niche in apparel.  When advertised correctly, it can bring a very healthy profit margin for dropshippers.  The biggest issue that dropshippers face when dealing with apparel is size and measurement.  Most Dropshippers work with Chinese suppliers like CJ Dropshipping or Aliexpress to fulfill their orders.  However, when working with Chinese suppliers in the apparel industry, most of the apparel in the existing inventory are in Asian sizes.  Chinese people are in general a lot more… oh how do I put it? Petite!  So an XL t-shirt in Asian sizes might only fit a scrawny teenager in the US that wears size S.

So what do most dropshipper do to accommodate this situation?  They will adjust the sizes for each order.  For example, they order two sizes up for tops and one size down bottoms.  But oh my god how tedious it is to keep track of the sizing difference for each and every single one of your dropshipping orders?

We've got a solution for your clothing size issue.  Below we gathered the top 10 apparel suppliers for the dropshipping industry.

No. 1 – CJdropshipping.com

CJdropshipping.com was established in 2014 with a mission that dedicates itself to solve dropshipper's supply problems.  Due to the excellent services they provide, they've been growing and expanding their facilities from a 150 sq. ft. tiny office to a 36,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Yiwu China.  Cjdropshipping saw the apparel sizing issue first hand as a dropshipping supplier and send their sourcing team to vet out apparel factories in China that manufactures high quality apparel in US or European sizes.  They visited the factories on site, inspected the finished products, and eliminated factories that do not produce quality apparel on behalf of dropshippers.

All the apparel on this site are manufactured in the US or European sizes.  No more adjusting to sizes when placing orders with Chinese suppliers!  Their app at app.cjdropshipping.com is FREE to use.  No additional sourcing fee or inspection fee if you use them as your dropshipping supplier.  Cjdropshipping's costs are already included in the product price which is clearly labeled on their site.

Most dropshippers will not think much about finding an apparel manufacturer who makes the US or European size apparel, but until they actually try and find a Chinese apparel manufacturer themselves will they know how difficult it is to find apparel manufacturers that are willing to work with dropshippers.

Most manufacturers that make US or European apparels are either making it for brand name companies such as Abercrombie Fitch, Polo, BCBG, Marc Jacobs, Maxmara, DKNY, Maxstudio, Armani, who are willing to purchase bulk orders or are willing to put down a huge deposit for the production.

Plus, as the peak season approaches this October, fast delivery time will definitely win your dropshipping store a lot of five-star ratings and customer referrals.  CJ Dropshipping has many shipping alternatives that are cheaper and faster than ePacket in shipping your packages to your customers.  ePacket's prices have risen due to the US and China trade war and it is no longer the default choice if you want to ship things from China to the US cheaply and quickly.

FedEx Smart Post for example is a delivery method available at CJ Dropshipping that guarantees 15 days of delivery or they will refund the shipping cost!  In addition to the fast delivery time, CJ Dropshipping.com was able to pass on the discount they received from FedEx Smart Post to their dropshippers so the cost is the same as ePacket (or cheaper in some cases).  Talk to one of CJ's friendly agents to see how you can use the FedEx Smart Post today!

 

 

 

No. 2 – Aliexpress:

Aliexpress has been the default station for dropshippers to stop by for a whole variety of items.  They also supply clothing in US sizes for dropshippers.  Going to Aliexpress and trying to find the few vendors that can provide quality US-size apparel is like trying to find one specific dish in a 30-acre buffet.  Their website supplies countless varieties of apparel, so if you are looking for ideas, that’s a good place to go.

However, to place the actual dropshipping orders, you will still want to rely on Cjdropshipping since they are able to inspect and confirm the sizes on your behalf, and also communicate other issues such as existing inventory levels or product details with the factories.

A few reasons why CJ dropshipping ranks higher as a dropshipping supplier is:

1. CJ Dropshipping has cheaper prices than Aliexpress. Aliexpress always claims “Free Shipping” on their products, so if a product costs $2, and shipping costs $6, they advertise the product for $8 and free shipping.  This okay if you are just sending out one product, but when you are sending out two of the same products, based on the example above you will be paying $16, which is the cost of two products and twice the shipping.  CJ dropshipping separates the product cost and shipping cost so shipping depends on the destination country and the weight.  In the same example above, when you order two products, you might be paying $4 for product cost, and only $8 for shipping, the total cost through CJ is only $12 vs. $16 through Aliexpress.

 

2. CJ Dropshipping has a better (FREE) order management application. Imagined your customer placed an order on five different pairs of pants on your website. When you partner up with Aliexpress, you are possibly going to deal with five different vendors to fulfill that one order.  Your customer will receive five different packages, five different delivery dates, and five different tracking numbers.  This is not a good customer experience and it is also very troublesome trying to manage and track all these packages!

 

CJ Dropshipping provides a FREE application for all their users to track and manage dropshipping orders.  They consolidate all the products for your one order, and they keep track of the orders on their application with tracking numbers automatically populated to your Shopify account.  This application alone can free your VA up so you can have her do something that’s more profitable for your business.

 

3. CJ Dropshipping has much better shipping methods, especially for the 2018 peak season.

As far as the shipping method goes, ePacket is no longer the most economical shipping method for dropshippers to dropship orders from China to other parts of the world.  CJ Dropshipping has found much better shipping alternatives, especially for their customers.  Their registered users have access to all these shipping method’s prices and delivery times.

I've selected a few shipping methods to show the comparison in shipping cost and delivery times.  You can see that for ordinary merchandise of 400g to be shipped from the USA their shipping cost and delivery times are below:

Shipping Method	Shipping Cost	Delivery Time
E-Packet	$6.22	7-20 days
FedEx – Smart Post	$6.22	10-15 days (15 days guaranteed)
SF Express +	$5.77	10-16 days
YanWen	$6.58	3-20 days

No. 3 – Alibaba.com

Alibaba is the same as Aliexpress except that most vendors on Alibaba deal with bulk orders. Minimum order quantity is imposed on each order.

You will still have to search through and find a factory that manufactures US size apparel, but the good thing is when you find something in bulk, you can get it for a very cheap price.

The risk, on the other hand, is obvious –excess inventory.
