Dropship companies?

Hi, Has anyone had either good or bad experiences with a company called Friendly Lion Dropship, I have been searching for awhile for a site with many different products and this looks good. You can't view prices etc until you pay the £25 to register. Any ideas would help, Thanks

Looks potentially good but they have mis-stated the UK VAT threshold limit (it is £64k not £58k) and they write "As far as we know, all sales to customers within the European Economic Community (EEC) must include sales tax" - in fact at EEC members are required to operate VAT and they all have differing VAT thresholds. You should look at the "distance sales" rules (see links) to be clear about this. I would have expected the site owners to be a bit more aware of the rules!

DO NOT REGISTER WITH THEM AND DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY! I WILL SAY IT AGAIN: DO NOT REGISTER WITH THEM AND DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY! Their prices are not "wholesale" prices, they sell everything to you are RRP and you will not make any profit! The website is cheaply made and the £25 registration fee is a rip-off! It is very very hard to come across legit dropshipping compaines nowadays, all the best ones are not heavily promoted and have big businesses and big spenders as their customers.

Its still a new thing in the UK but paying an 'admin fee' upfront is the classic sign of a scam site and tells you they are not wholesalers but middlemen and you wont make a penny profit from them Keep Looking, and forget those cash up front sites real wholesalers NEVER operate like that

Well, I don't know "Friendly Lion Dropship" and I don't want to know them, cause I would never pay a fee for "registration" upfront, and I never did for all of my many dropshippers. Dropshipping is an extremely lucrative business, if you know reliable sources, I have many top notch wholesalers who dropship for me, but I would never ever publish them here or on a forum or so. If you expect the recommendation for reliable dropshippers here on YAHOO Answers, on TV, search engines, forums or whatever, you will only attract and find scammers and middlemen luring you into their rip off crap. You have to find your dropshippers yourself. But forget about searching for "drop shipping" or "dropshipping" at Google. The term has been exploited beyond belief that it has almost lost its essence in many content sites. Information about the real sources, without scammers or middlemen, you will not find in any search engines. Worst of all are most dropship and wholesale "directories". 99,X% are unreliable, believe me, I've been there ... I will not recommend any of my many reliable dropshippers I'm working many years with here, if I find any on forums or so I ignore them, and you should too. But I can give you information and 2 awesome videos for free about HOW TO FIND reliable dropshippers and wholesalers on my homepage. If you go there, you can get for free some examples of reliable dropshippers from my private list for your personal use only. www ...

I don't know much about them but you could try this one www ... They are a dropshipper of adult items. Good luck, finding a good dropshipper can take forever of frawling through rubbish. I think they charge like £10 admin costs but that is because not only do you have online access but they send out a catalogue in post also, or thats the idea I got.
