Products marked with "drop shipping" on Alibaba stores indicate that the factory has the product in stock and can ship it on behalf of others. This platform provides convenience for small buyers. Because generally speaking, Alibaba targets wholesale bulk orders or customized types that are not in stock.

Drop shipping, for example, the factory recruits some distributors and agents all over the country. They do not need to stock up or ship the goods. As long as they can sell them, they can ask the factory to help ship them.
