What does a dropshipping agent do?
A dropshipping agent is a company in China that buys products from the factory on your behalf, checks them, packs them in your branding and ships each order straight to your customer. You sell; the agent handles everything between the factory and your customer's door. Axono Shipping does this from its own warehouse in China, for any product category, with pet products as its specialty.
- Sourcing Finding the factory that makes the product, and quoting it delivered to each country you sell in.
- Quality control Inspecting every unit before it is packed, so faults are caught in the warehouse.
- Branding Your logo on the mailer, an insert card in the box, a hang tag on the product.
- Fulfillment and store sync Tracked dispatch, with orders pulled from Shopify and tracking pushed back.
We know pet products properly
Pet products have their own failure points. Stitching that gives way on a harness, a bowl that stains, a toy that a strong chewer destroys in a week, sizing charts that do not match the breed your customer owns. We look for those problems before your customer finds them.
That focus is deliberate. We would rather be the supplier who genuinely understands one category than a warehouse that ships anything and knows nothing.
Selling something else? We source any category, and the sourcing, inspection and branding work the same way. Pet is simply the one we know best. See what else we source.
When should you move from AliExpress to an agent?
Usually once one or two products have steady daily orders and refunds or inconsistent quality start costing you margin. If you are still testing many products with a handful of orders, a marketplace is often the better fit for now.
| Factor | Marketplace listing | Axono Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Units checked before dispatch | Depends on the individual seller | Every unit inspected before packing |
| Branding | Negotiated seller by seller, if at all | Your logo on mailer, insert card and hang tag |
| Price | Per listing, easy to compare at low volume | One quoted price per product, delivered |
| When something goes wrong | Marketplace dispute process, with buyer protection | Replacement or refund for faulty or lost parcels, handled by one contact |
| Scaling to bulk or private label | Usually a separate supplier search | Same supplier, same contact |
Real people, real shelves, in China
Your stock sits on our shelves and your orders are packed by our team. Nothing is drop-shipped blind from a marketplace seller we have never met.
From product link to delivered parcel
Four steps. You can be sending us live orders within a few days of your first message.
- Step 01
Send us your products
Share your product links, photos or a sample. We find the right factory, confirm quality and send you a per-product quote with shipping cost to each country you sell in.
- Step 02
Order a sample
Before you send us a single customer order, order a sample and hold the real product in your hands. Samples are paid, and you see exactly what your customer will receive.
- Step 03
Connect your store
Your Shopify orders sync to us automatically. No spreadsheets, no forwarding emails. New orders appear on our side the moment they are paid.
- Step 04
We pack and ship
Every unit is quality-checked, packed in your branding and dispatched from our warehouse with tracking. The tracking number goes straight back to your store.
Everything between your order and your customer's door
Product sourcing
We find the factory behind the product, compare suppliers on quality rather than price alone, and tell you honestly when a product is not worth selling.
Quality control on every order
Units are inspected before they are packed. Defective stock is pulled out in our warehouse instead of arriving at your customer and turning into a refund.
Branded packaging
Your logo on the mailer, an insert card in the box, a hang tag on the product. Your customer unboxes your brand, not a generic plastic bag.
Shopify order sync
Orders flow in automatically and tracking numbers flow back out. Your store stays up to date without you touching it.
Tracked worldwide shipping
We ship with YunExpress, 4PX, USPS, DHL and pick the line that fits the destination, the product and the delivery time you need.
One person to talk to
A direct WhatsApp line to a real person in our warehouse, not a ticket queue. Same time zone as your factory, so problems get solved the same day.
Free warehousing, no time limit
Store your stock in our warehouse at no charge, with no time limit and no monthly storage bill eating into your margin. Because the stock is already on our shelves, orders go out the same day instead of waiting on the factory.
Where your parcels go, and how long they take
We choose the shipping line that fits the destination and the product rather than forcing every parcel down the same route.
- United States 5–8 days USPS tracking
- United Kingdom 3–8 days Local tracked delivery
- Europe 3–8 days Local carrier tracking
- Canada 6–10 days Tracked delivery
- Australia 6–10 days Tracked delivery
Your customer should unbox your brand
Branding is what separates a store that gets one order from a brand that gets repeat customers. Every option below is available from your first order.
- Custom logo on the product
- Branded poly mailers & boxes
- Insert & thank-you cards
- Hang tags & labels
- Printed retail boxes
- Eco-friendly packaging (recyclable, compostable)
- Custom color, scent & material
Small print runs are possible, so you are not forced to buy a thousand boxes before you know a product sells. Branding costs are quoted per project.
Start with dropshipping. Move to bulk and private label with the same agent.
Most sellers start by testing products one order at a time. Once a product proves itself, we arrange bulk production with the factory under your own brand. Same factory, same contact, better unit cost and faster dispatch because your stock is already in our warehouse.
- 1 Test Dropship one order at a time, no minimum
- 2 Brand Add your logo, mailers and insert cards
- 3 Stock Store stock with us free, dispatched same day
- 4 Own it Private label production under your brand
A private agent works differently from a marketplace app
Both can fulfil your orders. The difference is who is responsible for the product, and whether anyone looks at it before it reaches your customer.
| Marketplace app | A private agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you deal with | A support queue, a different person each time | One named person who knows your products |
| Product range | What is already in the catalogue | Anything a factory makes, sourced to your request |
| Quality control | Varies, often none on the individual unit | Every unit checked, with photos of your order |
| Branding | Usually plain packaging, branding at higher tiers | Your mailer, insert card and hang tag from order one |
| Pricing | Catalogue price, sometimes plus a subscription | One quoted price per product, duties included |
| Growing into bulk | Usually a separate service or supplier | Same agent, same warehouse, stored free |
What we promise, and where the limits are
Most complaints about agents come from things nobody explained upfront. These are ours, in plain words.
Preparation is separate from transit
Transit times are counted from the day a parcel leaves our warehouse. Stock held with us ships sooner than a product we still have to collect from the factory, and we tell you which applies when we quote.
The quoted price is the price
Your quote includes product, shipping and duties. If a factory price or a shipping rate changes, we tell you before anything ships rather than adjusting the invoice quietly.
Faulty or lost orders
If an item arrives faulty or a parcel is lost, we send a replacement or refund it. Because every unit is inspected before packing, most faults are caught here rather than by your customer.
Minimums
There is no minimum order for dropshipping. Custom production and printed packaging have factory minimums, and we tell you the real number for your product rather than a general figure.
Storage
Storing your stock in our warehouse is free, with no time limit and no monthly fee. Oversized or very slow-moving stock is agreed before it arrives.
Your products stay yours
We do not publish a catalogue of what our clients sell, and we do not share your product links or suppliers with anyone else.
Questions Shopify sellers ask us first
Short, direct answers. If your question is not here, message us on WhatsApp and you will get a straight reply.
Is a dropshipping agent the same as a dropshipping supplier?
Mostly, yes. Both words describe a company in China that buys, checks, packs and ships products for your store. The difference that matters is not the name but whether they run their own warehouse and inspect what they ship. We do both. Instead of ordering from a marketplace listing, you work with one contact who sources the product, inspects every unit, packs it in your branding and ships it directly to your customer with tracking.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No. For dropshipping you can start with a single order. Minimums only come into play for large bulk production runs, and even custom printed packaging can be produced in small quantities.
How long does delivery take?
After dispatch, typically 3 to 8 days to the United Kingdom and Europe, 5 to 8 days to the United States and 6 to 10 days to Canada and Australia. Preparation time before dispatch is separate. These are typical ranges rather than guarantees, as transit depends on the carrier, the destination and customs clearance.
Will my customer be charged customs or duty?
No. Every parcel ships Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) on our carriers' duty-paid lines. Duty and import charges are settled before the parcel reaches your customer, so nobody is asked to pay at the door in any of the countries we ship to, and the delivered price we quote you already includes them. Sales tax on the sale itself, such as UK or EU VAT, is collected by you as the seller through your store or marketplace.
How do I pay you?
You pay by bank transfer to a local account in your own country, so it is a domestic payment rather than an international wire. We share the account details for your country when you become a client.
What if a product is faulty or a parcel is lost?
We send your customer a replacement or refund the amount. If a product arrives defective, or a parcel is lost in transit, send us the order number (and a photo for a faulty item) and we deal with it directly, rather than sending you back to a marketplace seller.
Do you connect to Shopify?
Yes. Your Shopify orders sync to us automatically, so you do not need to send spreadsheets or forward order details by hand. Tracking numbers are pushed back to your store and your customer is notified.
What does it cost?
We quote product cost plus shipping per product, so you see exactly what each SKU costs delivered to each country. There is no subscription and no account fee. Send us your product links for a free quote within 24 hours.
Do you charge for warehousing or storage?
No. Storing your stock in our warehouse is free, with no time limit and no monthly storage fee. Holding stock with us also means orders ship the same day instead of waiting for the factory to produce and send them.
Can you put my logo on the products and packaging?
Yes. We can add your logo to the product itself, to poly mailers and boxes, to insert and thank-you cards, and to hang tags and labels. Full printed retail boxes and custom color, scent or material variations are available too, as is eco-friendly packaging, including recyclable and compostable mailers and boxes.
