Salehoo is an increasingly popular wholesale supplier directory. It promises over 8,000 wholesale and drop shipping sources, categorized into an easy to use directory. But is it worth the money?
As a current independent ecommerce store owner, I’ve sifted through a ton of crappy wholesale and drop shipping suppliers. In fact, when I first started out, I wasted months dealing with middlemen and scammers that did nothing but rip me off and eat all my profits. I promise you if you try to find your own wholesale suppliers on Google, you will not get real wholesale pricing. The wholesalers and drop shippers that you find on Google and other search engines are middlemen that make their money by getting between you and the real wholesale suppliers. Eventually you will find that out and move on to wholesale directories.
Wholesale directories are listings of certified wholesale and drop shipping suppliers that have been reviewed by professionals and other members of the directory. Salehoo and WorldWide Brands are by far the most popular. WorldWide Brands is the biggest wholesale supplier directory because it’s eBay Certified, so you know it’s legit. Salehoo is the second most popular, because it costs only $67 dollars and it claims a similar number of wholesale suppliers.
I have tried both and personally prefer Salehoo over WorldWide Brands. The first, and most important reason, is that it’s less than 1/3 the price of WorldWide Brands. On top of that, it caters more to drop shipping suppliers than WorldWide Brands does. I also have found more electronics suppliers in Salehoo than WorldWide Brands. They both offer a similar number of suppliers, however, I got more value out of my Salehoo purchase. The one drawback, is that there are a few less-than-reputable sources in the Salehoo directory so you have to be careful. Luckily, the Salehoo members are allowed to rate and review the suppliers, so you will eventually find out who’s who. On the other hand, you will find the best dropshippers out there as well.
If you’re looking for quality wholesale drop ship merchandise, I’d go with Salehoo.

The best dropshippers are all in salehoo. Most people use WWB but it’s not worth the money when salehoo is basically the same for 67 dollars.
