Anyone willing to share a messy supplier stock sheet? Alibaba / wholesale / dropshipping
The author asks for anonymized, messy Excel/CSV supplier inventory sheets to study catalog structures for dropshipping.
Random ask for sellers and importers.
I am researching how suppliers actually send catalogs and inventory sheets.
If you have an old Excel or CSV supplier file you would be comfortable sharing, fully anonymized is completely fine, I would love to study the structure.
Looking for the ugly real-world stuff:
• broken English product names
• missing specs
• inconsistent columns
• MOQ and pricing fields
• large SKU lists
DMs are open if easier. Appreciate any help.
Literally go to China, say Canton Fair or a market like Yiwu or Huaqiangbei, add people on Wechat, ask for price lists then you can see.
Depending on the products all the variables you are asking differ widely.
Damn, why didn’t I just think of that??!!! 😔
Like just go to China!!! So brilliant 🤩
Then do it online via Alibaba your self. If you are trying to start an app / platform and cannot afford a few thousand dollars to really understand the market that is on you.
