Hyzer Drip Coffee review for Dripshipper: Coffee & Tea
Sept. 6, 2022
The app is easy to use, but from a business standpoint it is not viable. 1. The profit margins are too tight. As other users have noted, the bags are roughly $13/each, meaning you have to charge $18 to make $5 on each bag. That doesn't include the $30/mo membership or shopify fees/taxes. 2. Making custom labels with Dripshipper is not efficient. There is suppose to be a "24 hour turnaround" to get a label approved, however I have had labels in review for over 24 hours. During this period of time, the products on your store are not active. You will need to rebuild each and every one of them if you ever update your labels down the line. I'll ride this train while I source my coffee elsewhere.
Thank you for your review. I wish we could've provided you with the experience you were looking for! Just a quick breakdown on the cost of the coffee: 1) Unlike store-bought coffee, this is specialty grade and roasted the same day it ships 2) The cost includes the cost of shipping, which is roughly $6-$7 to ship the bag of coffee. So really, the cost of the coffee itself is around $7 3) Looking at other specialty grade, fresh roasted coffee available on the internet, you can see that it is all priced at $19-$25/bag. So your pricing is on the low end and you could actually increase your sale price a bit. For Dripshipper coffee, you want to make sure you target the type of buyer that wants specialty grade coffee. Where fresh roast and quality of beans is important to them. You will have a hard time selling to people who typically buy bags of coffee from the store that has been roasted months ago and lower quality grade beans. Hope that helps! And I hope you find a great source of coffee for what you're looking for!
