Meet Neil: More than a decade working across dropshipping, from product selection and supplier sourcing to store operations and logistics. Read Neil’s author profile.
US-held stock usually offers a shorter domestic delivery route for US buyers; China-side fulfillment can keep sourcing and small-order changes close to production. Compare the exact SKU’s dispatch warehouse, inventory ownership, delivered cost and return arrangement. A supplier’s company address does not tell you where the parcel starts.

A new business, paid subscription or shared warehouse is a reason to investigate, not proof of fraud. Resolve payment identity first; then test the product and fulfillment promise.
