Dropshipping is great if it doesn't eat your margins too much. Some business models work around having a solid income from shipping margins. We do both dropshipping and have our own warehouses where I work. Basically we adjust and stay flexible depending on the prices / areas we're shipping to. Dropshipping is a huge part of our business now, it is very nice for scaling flexibility / rush periods. One tip, sometimes you can do a mix, one of our suppliers will dropship fully to an entire country, but for another country they pack and ship directly to our warehouse where we slap a new label on and forward through that countries courier. (we got a stupidly good deal from that courier to the point it made economic sense)
