Frequently Asked Questions
Can I dropship from India to the US?
Yes. India ships dropship orders to the US in 7–14 days via DDP air freight, with no duty surprises for the buyer.
Do Indian factories offer no-MOQ dropshipping?
Vetted factories in apparel, jewelry, beauty, and decor accept per-order programs once a brand commits to a minimum monthly volume (typically 50–200 orders).
Is dropshipping from India cheaper than China?
For jewelry, apparel, home textiles, leather, ayurveda, and handicrafts, India is typically 10–25% cheaper landed in the US once duties and shipping are factored in.
How do I find verified dropshipping suppliers in India?
Use a managed sourcing partner that physically audits factories — public marketplaces are full of resellers with no production capacity.
