Shah Alam Market Dropshipping Business — Lahori Entrepreneurs, Share Your Experience!
Assalam o Alaikum Lahori bhai log! 🙋♂️
I live near Shah Alam Road and I've been watching my cousins run a thriving order-dispatch business — they source products from Shah Alam Market and ship parcels to customers across Pakistan. Clearly they're making good money, but they won't share how it works (you know how it is with family jealousy 😅).
I want to start something similar and would love guidance from anyone with real experience:
- Which platforms do you use to receive orders? (Daraz, TikTok Shop, Facebook Marketplace, WhatsApp, your own website?)
- How do you manage inventory and orders? Any software or app, or just Excel/WhatsApp groups?
- Which courier service do you use? (TCS, Leopards, Trax, PostEx, Swyft?) and which gives the best COD rates?
- How do you handle returns and fake orders? This seems like the biggest headache.
- What's a realistic starting budget to test this model?
- Which product categories from Shah Alam Market move the fastest — clothing, fabric, accessories?
Lahori businessmen are the best in Pakistan at this model — would love to learn from people who are actually doing it. JazakAllah Khair 🙏
