Most dropshippers I see eventually choose between AliExpress, platforms like Zendrop/CJ, or working with an agent, and each one clearly has pros and cons around shipping speed, stock reliability, pricing, and control.
What I don’t see talked about much is how people actually decide which option makes sense at different stages. Is it mainly about order volume, margins, or just getting tired of supplier issues?
Curious how others made that decision in real life and what pushed them to switch.
