Does dropshipping work for supplements in Kuwait?

It works where the buyer is patient and the item is hard to compare on price. It fails where either of those is untrue — and the second is untrue for anything with a barcode.

Where it works and where it does not

The test worth running before committing: can the customer find the identical item elsewhere in under a minute? If they can, the competition is on delivery speed and price, and a dropshipper controls neither.

Dropshipping trades margin for not holding stock, and the trade only works while traffic is cheap. For a supplements and health store in Kuwait, the answer turns on one thing in particular: Subscription behaviour without a subscription: people finish a tub and reorder, often on the same day of the month.

Where a mobile app comes into it
