Drop Shipping Membership Questions And Answers
This page contains questions and answers about the ShopPoland drop shipping program that you find at ShopPoland Drop Shipping.
Can I join the program if I do not live in the United States?
Yes. The program is open to anyone anywhere in the world.
Can I have products drop shipped to Europe or any other location in the world?
No. It is possible but the shipping costs are so expensive that it is a waste of time to even consider doing it. So we just drop ship to locations in North America.
Can you drop ship from Poland to my customers in Europe?
No European VAT laws are such that export invoices have to be made out to the person at the shipping address. That precludes us billing you. That further means drop shipping is precluded by European laws. Put another way, there is no drop shipping from Poland to any country that is a member of the European Union because of European Union Laws.
And we do not drop ship to other locations from Poland because the shipping is too expensive.
There are other firms that will drop ship for you to these locations. You can find them in the Drop Ship Directory. Go to World Wide Brands
Do I get a password and special web site where I can order?
You get an ID number that we use for invoicing. And you get a password to the special members section that gives you private information and help.
You do not need a special password to order. You order through the Polish Handcraft web site following the procedures that we give you.
Where can I order products if I am a member?
You can order at Polish Handcraft - You get drop shippers discounts on all the products there.

How do I find the prices?
Go to the Polish Handcraft store and you will see a retail price. Apply your members discount to that price in accordance with the members discount rates.
How do I know my profit margin?
You set your own retail prices. Your gross profit is the difference between the prices charged to you and the price for which you sell the product. You should do these calculations as part of writing your business plan. For information about a business plan, click here.
How do I calculate shipping?
If you know the products that you want to buy from an online company, you can generally calculate the shipping for products that they sell just by using their shopping cart. Pick a product and check the shipping cost by adding it to your shopping cart.
For example, if you go to ShopPoland and want to check the shipping cost of a salt lamp, add the item to your shopping cart with the shipping destination address to which you want it shipped. Of course, don't complete the order. Remove it from your shopping cart after you have your figures.
Detailed instructions are at Shipping
Can you help me with a web site and/or an online store?
There is a store reimbursement plan. Read that information at Store Reimbursement
Do I have to spend other money?
Not with us. But you will be running a business and that takes time and money to get started. You should write a business plan so you know what your specific costs will be for your specific situation. Information about business plans is at this link.
What are my chances of making money with this?
Simply stated, that is up to you.
The products are good. Some people sell these products by the 20 foot container load. Some sell millions of dollars of amber and silver jewelry per year.
And some sell nothing. That is to be expected because historically, for all businesses, 95% of the people who start a business fail.
Where you fit between these two extremes depends on how hard you plan and how hard you work.
Information about business plans is found by clicking here.
Only you know how determined you are to succeed. In this case, that is 99% plus of the battle.
What is my risk?
Other than the $12.95 setup fee, the risk is time and any other money that you think necessary to make your business run. If you plan that can be a very low number.
Only you can decide if that is too much or a reasonable risk by doing your business plan.
If you think the risk is reasonable, here is the link back to the membership page.
If you do not, then here is a link to a business plan service where you can look at other businesses. Click here.
