Hello and welcome to the corporate casket, a semi-weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and people that have a lot to hide.

I'm the Illuminati, and today I'm going to be talking about a type of company that I'm sure most

of you are aware of, considering how quickly these types of businesses seem to just multiply.

Seriously, the only reason I've actually been dreading discussing this is because I know I'm just

going to get a ton of ads for them after the research process and visiting their

websites.

I'm talking about shady dropship companies.

And now that I'm thinking about it, some of these may not even be in existence by the time

this episode goes live because they just pop up and crash so quickly.

But we're going to be talking about those places that advertise free jewelry and all you

have to do is pay shipping, like that special brand of bullshit.

So let's just get into this and talk about what is a

drop ship company and how does this type of business actually operate and

profit. Let's get into it. Just like any other kind of business really, well except for MLMs, there's a few good ones out there mixed in with the bad ones that can either ruin the reputation of the others.

Now not all

drop ship companies are terrible by default and there's a way it can be done

correctly. Even the idea of dropshifting itself is a little bit questionable for

many though. So what is drop shipping exactly?

Well, according to big commerce,

it's an order fulfillment method that does not

require a business to keep products in stock.
