Dropshipping

Dropshipping is selling products you do not hold yourself: the order is passed to a supplier or fulfilment partner who stores, packs and ships it. The seller carries no warehouse and, in most models, no upfront stock.

COD dropshipping is a different business from the global model

The version most people read about online means listing a supplier's product, taking a card payment, and having the item posted from another country weeks later. That model does not work in Libya, Iraq or Lebanon: buyers pay on delivery, and nobody waits three weeks for a parcel they have not paid for.

COD dropshipping in this region only works when the stock is already inside the country. The seller does not own it, but it is physically nearby — which is what makes one-to-three-day delivery and cash collection possible at all.

What the seller does and does not do

The trade-off is margin. A dropshipper earns less per unit than someone importing a container, and pays for that difference with speed and near-zero risk.

How it works at MDM Express

You pick products from our local catalogue, set your own selling price, and advertise. We confirm the order by phone, deliver it with our own couriers, collect the cash and transfer your margin at the end of the week. Local stock, no minimum purchase, and no capital tied up in inventory you have not sold.
