Who cares? The goods crossing the ocean should not have their shipping subsidized. Drop shipping doesn't change that. If it's cheaper to use a drop shipper then they are providing a service anyway so I wouldn't call it rent seeking. That would only work for really in demand products anyway in which case good? Not to mention any drop shipper is taking on risk.
