shipment

A drop shipment business is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third-party supplier, who then ships it directly to the customer. As a result, the retailer doesn’t have to handle the storage or shipment of inventory.

Drop shipping is a popular business model for online retailers because it allows them to offer a wide variety of products without having to invest in inventory. It is also a relatively low-risk business model, as retailers don’t have to worry about the costs associated with storing and shipping inventory.
