Salehoo vs Doba vs WorldWideBrands

When you plan to start your own business, there are like a thousand things that must be running through your mind before you can address your customers and serve them. A very important thing among starting a business is that how you are going to acquire the products you want to sell to your customers.

Basically, there are two methods known as drop shipping and wholesaling that can have you the access to products from all around the world.

Salehoo is a wholesale supplier company based in New Zealand which connects drop shippers and suppliers in different countries.

It has suppliers from different countries such as US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and China.

They also provide you with the information to DropShip or source the suppliers from places such as Amazon or eBay, giving you details on the current selling prices, potential profit and how popular they are.

Salehoo has now provided their customers with pre-built stores, filled with products that are targeted towards certain niches, or can be purchased to be used as a general store.

If I am honest, the fight between Salehoo VS Doba is pretty one sided. Here are some of the reasons why I believe Salehoo is just the better out of the two; 

Competitive Pricing

The base cost for Doba is $29 a month, Salehoo offers you a number of tools, a huge database of products and all at essentially $6 a month! 

You also don't have to pay per transaction, as you aren't really doing transactions here.

Similar Tools / Offerings

Both Doba and Salehoo both offer the same tools when it comes to offering DropShipping 'Hot Products', 'Seller Ratings' and even the ability to see trends. With the number of 'high quality' on items on Doba, but no guarantee other than a seller rating that they will be legitimate, makes me a little worried about Doba and it's offerings.

Doba does offer you the ability to export to other platforms, but if you are using DropShipping fulfilment tools such as Oberlo or AliDropShip then you don't need to export, as you can import from the store situated on AliExpress already. 

Number of products / database side

For this, it's a bit of a tie breaker. Doba has a really impressive list of products available, with over 2million product listings and growing, compared with Salehoos 2.5million products, so really there is not much in it!

You might start seeing a theme here. 

WorldWideBrands is again a Wholesale & DropShipping supplier list provider. They currently boat access to 16million products, that have been vetted and are supposedly '100% Legit"

The company started in 2000, so they have been around for quite a while, and most will class them as 'the industry standard', but they do still have some negatives, especially in this competitive market. 

They are split into two key areas; 

Wholesale;

You essentially get given access to products and suppliers who specalise in the wholesale (large bulk buys) of items.  This is great if you are starting an online business, eBay store or even Amazon.

DropShipping Directory

More inline with the other two, the DropShipping marketplace is a place you can order your products straight from the supplier, send directly to the customer.  

This is actually a difficult one too determine, as they cater for slightly different crowds. 

But for the people I deal with and talk too, usually start-ups or young entrepreneurs looking to dip their toes in the water, Salehoo still wins this round and here's why;

Affordable Membership

The $299 upfront cost is a huge hit for someone who is trying to find a niche they can work with, or who are finding the products that they can start to supply.

$67 a year is much more entrepreneur friendly and you can easily find your feet or niche with such a low price. If you haven't paid back that $68 in a year, then DropShipping might not be for you!

Tools / Extras

WorldWideBrands really only provides you with a VERY large list of suppliers, they don't provide you with extras such as Hot Products, up and coming trends, eBay Top Sellers or anything in that realm. They do offer training and ways to stop yourself being scammed online, but Salehoo also provide free articles or training on similar issues. 

Ready Built Stores

Again, Salehoo gives you the option of just purchasing a store, filled with products within your niche.

All three of the services we have looked at, are used by hundreds, if not thousands of users, so that many people cannot be wrong. 

They are as useful, and as good value for money as you make them. If you purchase a monthly membership for $29, find a product that you like, but don't create a nice looking store, then you have no guarantee you will make money. 

At the end of the day, platforms such as Doba, Salehoo and WorldWideBrands help you by giving you trusted suppliers, wholesalers and DropShippers in one convenient place, without  the need to trawl through sites like AliExpress, or it's big brother AliBaba. 

So, there we have it, 3 different platforms which are currently the provide the best wholesale and dropship supplier lists. 

They all provide lists of suppliers, and their price ranges massively, as show above. Two of these three offer extra tools on top of just their lists, check out Salehoo or Doba, and all of them offer product databases in the millions.
