Wholesale Sources

SellWholesale.com’s List of Wholesale Sources

This page will be updated constantly whenever I find a new supplier that you might want to use.  I’ll post a little blurb about the wholesale supplier and some links to their site and the associated blog post on this site, if applicable.  I may have affiliate accounts with some of these companies, but I will never advertise a source or supplier I wouldn’t use myself.  If you have a wholesale supplier that you’d like to see mentioned here, just leave a note in the comments, or send me an email.  (contact AT sellwholesale.com)

1. Liquidation.com

Liquidation.com is an auction site that specialized in wholesale lots. You can pick up pallets of merchandise at great prices. Just make sure you have a plan for selling them. Here’s a link to our full review of Liquidation.com.

2. SaleHoo.com

SaleHoo.com is a directory of wholesale suppliers that are rated by their very active community of members. They have over 5,000 suppliers (wholesalers, dropshippers, manufacturers) listed in their directory, but the real value is that they have an active community forum that discusses all topics of the wholesale industry. Here’s a link to our full review of SaleHoo.com.

3. DOBA.com

Doba.com specializes in drop shipping. They have over 1.2 million products that you can view and select for dropshipping right from their website. They have a 7-day free trial, then it’s $49.95 per month. I have used this service in the past and they are well worth the fee if you’re going to actively work a wholesale business. (Full review coming soon!)

4. WholesaleCentral.com

WholesaleCentral isn’t necessarily a supplier by itself. However, they are a wholesale directory site with hundreds (or thousands) of listings. No matter what type of product you’re looking for, WholesaleCentral probably has a supplier in their directory. Here’s our review of WholesaleCentral.com.

5. Alibaba.com

This is one of the most diverse sites for wholesale products.  You can buy just about anything from anywhere in the world.  You can buy direct from manufacturers, or you can buy from wholesalers and distributors.  The site is huge and because of the products being offered by users, there isn’t a great hierarchy for searching the products.  Expect to flex your search-fu if you want decent results.  Also, less than half of the listings seem to have prices.  Don’t go to this site expecting to do your pricing research.

6. GlobalSources.com

This is another site similar to Alibaba.com.  You can find some great deals any any type of product, but expect to do a lot of searching.  I haven’t seen any prices on this site, so you’ll have to contact the manufacturer/distributor/wholesaler about prices.  I’m not impressed by their website, but they seem to have a nice selection of products.

More wholesale sources to be added soon.  Keep those suggestions coming!
