Buying from reputable sellers means that you can trust that your customers will get their product shipped to them and that they will be happy with the quality of it too.
Here is how to filter the results to only show reputable Aliexpress sellers:
1. Go to Aliexpress.
2. Search for the item you want to source/dropship.
3. Tick 4 stars so that Aliexpress will only show you products with a 4+ star rating.
4. Click “orders.” Aliexpress will now list the results based on the number of orders a supplier has fulfilled for an item that week.
5. Go through the results, and find the supplier for your item with the highest number of orders that also has a 4+ star rating from buyers.
Working with reputable sellers that are selling a high-quality product will keep your customers happy… and happy customers make for repeat buyers!
When dropshipping, you should always get to know your suppliers. If you personally reach out to them, you can negotiate special deals like lower prices, free shipping and more. Talk to your suppliers and form a relationship with them.
A lot of people pick their items by going to the “Best Sellers” on Aliexpress and assume that those are the hot items that they should be promoting. But this isn’t the case: There are lots of items on Aliexpress that will sell very well, but people haven’t necessarily discovered them yet.

When setting up your Shopify store then, focus on building funnels that upsell customers you’ve captured into spending more money with you, rather than just investing in more paid advertising.
Don’t put all eggs in one basket. It is really dangerous for your business if you are reliable only 1 source of supplier or third party advertising. If you’ve got any questions about these 5 Aliexpress dropshipping mistakes that new sellers make, be sure to leave them in the comments section below!
