Who can handle drop-shipping for shoes from China?
Drop-shipping footwear one order at a time is inefficient at factory level, so the practical model is to start with in-stock styles - from 10 pairs per colour - and use a forwarding agent for per-order outbound shipping, while we supply the goods factory-direct with no trading-company markup. Pricing is FOB at the standard 10 / 50 / 100 tiers.
In practice most sellers use this route: buy a small stock at the 10-pair tier, list the products, and let an agent pick, pack and ship individual orders from their warehouse. That keeps your upfront cost low and avoids the minimums a fully custom production run would require (OEM starts at 200 pairs per style). Sampling still applies if you want your own branding later - 1-5 pairs in 7-14 days, fee credited against your bulk order.
- Entry tier: the MOQ guide.
- Ready-to-ship: men's sneakers.
