No one can give you a precise number, but as a dropshipper, you should aim for less than 10 days. We’re all competing with Amazon Prime and single-day shipping. So, there are a few things to take into account: 1. If you sell unique products, like handmade or made-to-order, for example, then it’s ok that orders take a longer time than Amazon Prime or other Shopify merchants like you. 2. If you sell regular “factory-line” products, then you should find a good reason for your customers to wait longer than Amazon. Perhaps products that aren’t available on Amazon or cheaper prices. 3. If you dropship products from AliExpress then you must check the vendors first. Order a few items and see how long it takes until they arrive from China. If it’s longer than 10 days skip that product. ** Another important tip: Since you order samples, it’s an excellent opportunity to try the product, test quality, and take your own photos. Good luck.
