What is blind drop shipping?
Blind drop shipping is when the customer receives an order and believes it was shipped from the retailer. The wholesaler sends the order without any evidence that it came from them. The order instead has the brand and information of the retailer who sold it. This may seem ideal, but it could be difficult to set up depending on your supply chain processes.
The Benefits
Wholesalers fulfill orders for their customers, while retailers own the relationship with them.
The delivery process is a major factor in the shopping experience. Customers expect fast shipping and a consistent experience with the brand they have purchased from. You have earned their trust, and it is up to you to maintain it. The brand must be consistent with the order in order to provide consistency. Your shopper may be confused if the brand doesn’t align with the order.

Next, you will need to obtain the logo (in JPG/PNG format). If you already have these information, you can download the Order Printer App if it has not been installed in your store. Click “Add template” in the Order Printer app. You can use the pre-existing packing slip as a guide and then edit the template to add your logo and name.
The template should have areas that are able to display the logo and company name on the packing slip. You can replace the image source with a URL to your customer’s logo and the company name or text you prefer. The trading partner’s name should be used as the name of the packing slip. Watch out for orders from drop shipping trading partners when you ship orders. Orders will start with “Drop Ship:” depending on how you do it now. Choose the template that is associated with the partner. When you print packing slips for your partner, it will be in their name.

This question is one you must have asked yourself: “If the supplier included an invoice indicating the exact amount I paid for the product dropshipped, wouldn’t the customer be mad?” Blind dropshipping is a way to ensure that they do. Blind dropshipping allows dropshipping store owners to ensure that no marketing materials or references from their original suppliers are made available to the end buyers.
Dropshippers need to be aware of this important point early in their dropshipping journey. A disgruntled customer will feel ripped off if they receive the original invoice with their package. This could lead to a dispute on Paypal or a negative rating on sites such as TrustPilot and ResellerRatings.
First, the customer may think that they could have bought it at a lower price from the original store. This is the worst thing that can happen to a business owner. Customers are more likely to feel happy when they purchase a quality product at a low price. This is human nature.
As long as they don’t know the difference in price between what they paid for it and what it actually cost, they won’t mind. As a store owner, it is important to ensure that customers don’t see the original cost and that there are no references to any place or supplier from which they may have purchased it.
