Dropshipping from China to Australia is a business model where you, as a retailer, partner with suppliers or manufacturers in China to sell products to customers in Australia without holding inventory. Instead, when you receive an order from a customer, you forward the order details to your supplier, who then ships the products directly to the customer’s address.
