I have not yet tried drop shipping since suppliers are hard to find. Delivery versus timeframe is the main issue.

I have heard of so many persons who are into this from Africa, and most of them are doing pretty well, so i believe it can succeed.

Drop-shipping can work in Africa, but it depends a lot on the transportation infrastructure and the trustworthiness of the suppliers. Many people like to shop online, but challenges such as shipping delays and shipping costs can affect business. However, technology continues to improve.

The main advantage is that you don’t need to stock the products, so the start-up costs are low. You can try different products without much risk. Also, if you are creative and know your market well, you can get a lot of customers. But it is important to pay attention to the quality of the products.
