00:00.050 --> 00:05.300
So now let's have a look at how we can find fast and affordable shipping with our second reliable supplier,

00:05.300 --> 00:07.040
which of course is DSS.

00:07.040 --> 00:09.110
And you can see that I'm already on DSS.

00:09.110 --> 00:14.600
I've done a search by dog, and I've ordered by orders so that I can see the best selling products listed

00:14.600 --> 00:15.170
first.

00:15.200 --> 00:22.160
Now, as you already know, the DSS business model is different to CX drop shipping because DSS doesn't

00:22.160 --> 00:27.320
have its own warehouses and instead links us directly to suppliers on AliExpress.

00:27.320 --> 00:32.180
And it's those suppliers that are going to be sending their products directly to our customers.

00:32.180 --> 00:37.490
And so therefore, to check if they have acceptable shipping times and costs, we need to go directly

00:37.490 --> 00:39.260
to each supplier in turn.

00:39.260 --> 00:44.360
And while that might sound like quite a lot of work, in fact it's really easy because all we have to

00:44.360 --> 00:48.230
do, having chosen a product that we think could be interesting for our store.

00:48.230 --> 00:54.890
So let's say, for example, this large pet dog jacket is to click on it and it takes us directly to

00:54.890 --> 00:56.870
the supplier on AliExpress.

00:56.870 --> 01:02.090
Now, just before we look at the shipping costs and times, we first of all want to make sure that we

01:02.090 --> 01:05.030
are going to be shipping to customers in the US.

01:05.030 --> 01:09.740
And to do that, just come up here where it says ship two and simply click on it.

01:09.740 --> 01:15.860
And then from this drop down list box of countries, make sure that you have the United States selected.

01:15.860 --> 01:19.670
And of course, if you're going to be shipping to other countries, select your country of choice.

01:19.670 --> 01:25.010
Now, having selected the United States, you're also going to see below here the state and more specifically

01:25.010 --> 01:25.670
a town.

01:25.670 --> 01:27.650
But really these make no difference.

01:27.650 --> 01:29.480
So don't worry about choosing these.

01:29.480 --> 01:34.490
As long as you have United States, all you need to do is to simply click on apply where we can now

01:34.490 --> 01:36.440
look at the shipping times.

01:36.440 --> 01:42.380
Now this is slightly different because rather than giving an actual time in days, it gives an expected

01:42.380 --> 01:43.460
delivery date.

01:43.460 --> 01:46.880
And you can see here that it's going to be around about June the 7th.

01:46.880 --> 01:51.440
And based on the time that I'm actually recording this, that makes a delivery time of around about

01:51.440 --> 01:54.560
seven days, which of course is completely acceptable.

01:54.560 --> 01:58.850
And then for the shipping costs, you can see in this case it's actually free shipping.

01:58.850 --> 02:01.310
So this product is definitely of interest.

02:01.310 --> 02:04.610
So now let's go back to DSS and choose another product.

02:04.610 --> 02:10.730
And this time I will come down a bit further and let's have a look at this dog repeller.

02:10.730 --> 02:16.850
So clicking on this it takes me to the supplier on Ali, where you can see that there's a delivery time

02:16.850 --> 02:19.670
of between June the 2nd and June the 11th.

02:19.670 --> 02:24.730
Now, just to be on the safe side, what we would typically do here is work on a delivery time of June

02:24.730 --> 02:28.340
the 11th, but even that is well within our 15 days.

02:28.340 --> 02:34.700
And then for the shipping, you can see that it's priced at $4 and 46, which clearly fits very nicely

02:34.700 --> 02:36.770
with our average of $5.

02:36.770 --> 02:39.020
So this would be another great product.

02:39.020 --> 02:45.800
So let's go back to DSS one more time and select another product by scrolling on down a bit further.

02:45.800 --> 02:51.140
And this time my eye is drawn towards this training harness.

02:51.140 --> 02:52.580
So let me click on this.

02:52.580 --> 02:58.610
And in this case you can see the delivery time is effectively June the 18th, which would probably put

02:58.610 --> 03:01.400
me off this product because that is a little bit too long.

03:01.400 --> 03:03.470
However, the shipping is still free.

03:03.470 --> 03:10.190
But the point is, and I think you can now clearly see that using DSS in combination with AliExpress,

03:10.190 --> 03:15.710
we can of course find really great products, but we can also very easily check the suppliers to make

03:15.710 --> 03:19.460
sure that their delivery times and costs are within our acceptable range.

03:19.460 --> 03:24.380
Now, I genuinely picked those three products at random, and it just so happened that all three of

03:24.380 --> 03:26.030
them actually were pretty good.

03:26.030 --> 03:28.340
Now that's not going to happen every single time.

03:28.340 --> 03:32.960
But as you go through these products, you will see that there are a huge number that will match your

03:32.960 --> 03:38.180
requirements that you can add to your site and build out a fantastic collection of products.
