Welcome to Smart Blonde's Drop Ship Program!
(We have tried to make this as simple as possible, truly!)
Getting Started:
1) Create an Account
2) Purchase into the dropship program for all high resolution pictures
3) List the items and start making sales
Ok, then what???
Once you’ve made a sale…
1) Login to your account and place your order(s).
*Place one order per customer. You must login to see dropship pricing, else you will continue to see retail.
*List your name and credit card info in the bill-to and list your customer as the ship-to recipient!
Once your order is submitted, we will both get email notification via a receipt.
We’ll take it from there…
All Orders placed with us ship within 24 hrs. Always!
(We package all orders using professional boxes to avoid any damage when shipping. We are known for our secure, timely and dependable shipping!)
All items we carry are Made in the U.S.A.
Think Dropshipping is a good way to start a business or add to your current line? Then ask youself this one question - How else in the world are you going to stock an entire store with millions of dollars in inventory for just $40. That's what our dropshipping program will do for you!
Some Additional Info:
Invoices: We will ship your orders completely blind to the customer. In otherwords, they will receive no invoice from us. If you want an invoice or packing slip enclosed with your customers order, please email it in .PDF format via attachment and put “drop ship invoice” in the subject line of your email to us. (note: pdf format is important because it’s clean). It will printout EXACTLY as it was sent. Anything other than PDF and we cannot prevent our system from printing our name along the bottom of the form, nor can anyone!
Shipping: Your customers shipping label will read only: Shipping Dept & our address… We will send the tracking email directly to you. This way if there is any issue of it’s location, you will have that info. Please therefore ensure the email address you provide in the order, is YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS! And the reason you don’t want us or anyone else to email your customer directly is because an email trail is very easy to see. J
Out of Stock/Backordered Items: We have decided to share this because we have heard from many of our dropshippers that we are the BEST with regards to this issue. We have two warehouses (one retail; one wholesale). Our wholesale warehouse stocks our retail warehouse. And for this reason, we have only ever had 1 item out of stock or backordered since inception of our dropship program. We understand the importance of having all items in stock, so that your customers return to you. It makes everyone look bad to have items out of stock and we are proud to share that we understand this fact entirely. We have always had a retail warehouse and used to sell on Ebay, so you might say "we get it" and understand the frustration this can cause. You are dealing with a company that truly cares about you and your customers! And please feel free to contact us anytime!
More Items Always Coming: With the expansion of Smart Blonde into manufacturing in early 2008, we have really increased our capacity to add new items to our current line. And we will continue to do so always! As new items become available for dropship they will be added.

And.... a bit more info and details of Smart Blonde's Drop Ship Program:
There are of course, pros & cons to utilizing dropshipping services with companies that offer such, but we assure you that you have found a very reliable and dependable source in us. We will handle your customers and account very efficiently and professionally!
We truly understand and appreciate the value that drop shippers can lend to business growth and therefore will never disclose or solicit your customers. We recognize that you are working hard for each and every order and we feel fortunate that you have put your trust in us to take good care of your customers.
Because we hear from so many dropshippers on a regular basis, we felt it necessary to clarify a few important points and give some explanation too:
*You will have to create an account with us in order to access the drop shippers area. Visible pricing prior to login is retail pricing only. As a drop shipper with us, you will see your drop shipping pricing once logged in.
*Drop Shipper's pricing cannot be as low as a wholesaler's price. Why? Because you are not paying for the merchandise out of pocket. Additionally, as a supplier to your retail customers, we will be working very hard packing and shipping and just processing your orders in a timely, efficient and professional manner. There is also much management on our end to just keeping the dropship program and our dropshippers informed of all the new additions and occasional deletions of inventory.
Our Commitment to you: It's our agreement that we will not let your customer know who we are and therefore will appear to be no different from you. This requires our additional time, checking and much more discipline than even for our own retail customers!
Available DropShip Items & Being a Wholesaler and Dropshipper: ALL items on this website www.SmartBlondeCOM are available for dropshipping (excluding closeouts). No Items listed as **Closeout** are available for dropshipping. They are either old designs, or discontinued items. Should we ever decide to discontinue an item that IS a dropship item, we will let you know as far in advance as possible.
YES, you can be a DropShipper and a Wholesale Customer: In fact, many of our wholesalers dropship items too that they don't stock themselves and should you ever run out of an item in your inventory, the dropship program will rectify that situation simply and quickly just by your logging in and placing the order.
(wholesale orders require $100 minimum)
We hope that we were able to bring some clarity to you with regards to not only a bit about how drop shipping works, but also the fact that WE do very much value & understand what your business brings to us.
We also hope that we have allowed you to better understand our role too. We too, are working equally as hard for you and it's our hope that your regard for us will be a very positive, understanding and committed one too!
When conducted properly, Drop Shipping is a Win-Win for all involved!
