Hello!
I run a small Shopify store which sell Home decor products. Currently we are on the low-end of products and dropshipping from AliExpress (lame) - but the products are good, and the store gets minor organic traffic and sales currently (1/mo).
I no longer want to dropship overseas; dealing with their customer support, shipping times, etc. I need to find dropshipping suppliers in the US and figure out how we can get in their program for free/cheap. I would prefer using the newer dropshipping apps but a lot of them just rebrand AliExpress items and ship from China anyway, please be aware of that.
Overall goal: Source and implement new US dropshipping suppliers with around -1 week delivery times. High-end/high-ticket products is the goal, I have a ton of (low-end) products on my current store to get an idea of what we currently sell (home decor).
