Altaitrade provides drop shipping solutions for business partners looking to organize product fulfillment without maintaining their own local inventory or handling day-to-day warehouse operations.
Our drop shipping model is designed for companies that want a more flexible way to manage orders, logistics, and product distribution while keeping commercial processes structured and transparent.
How Drop Shipping Works
The process is built around direct coordination between Altaitrade, the business partner, and the logistics provider.
Once an order is received and confirmed, the relevant order information is transferred for fulfillment. Products are prepared, packed, and released for collection by the designated logistics company. Depending on the agreed operating model, shipping documents and additional order information may also be prepared as part of the fulfillment process.
This allows our partners to focus on sales and customer relationships while fulfillment operations are handled separately.
Our Drop Shipping Process
A typical cooperation model may include:
- receiving order information electronically
- order verification and processing
- picking and packing of products
- preparation of goods for dispatch
- coordination with the selected logistics provider
- handover of shipments for transportation
- exchange of shipment and fulfillment information
- handling agreed return procedures
- coordination of damaged, refused, or undeliverable shipments
The exact workflow can be adapted depending on the partner’s sales model, logistics structure, destination markets, and operational requirements.
Flexible Fulfillment Solutions
Different businesses require different fulfillment processes. For this reason, we do not apply a single fixed model to every partner.
Cooperation can be structured around factors such as:
- order volumes
- product assortment
- delivery geography
- packaging requirements
- order transmission format
- shipping frequency
- logistics partner requirements
- return procedures
- reporting requirements
This makes it possible to build a practical drop shipping process that fits the partner’s existing business operations.
Order Processing
Orders can be transmitted electronically in an agreed format. Depending on the project, this may include customer delivery information, product details, quantities, order references, and other information required for fulfillment.
We aim to keep order processing clear and efficient, with agreed procedures for data transfer, confirmation, preparation, and shipment handover.
Packing and Shipment Preparation
Products are prepared according to the agreed fulfillment requirements.
This may include product picking, order consolidation, protective packaging, preparation for courier collection, and inclusion of agreed shipment documents.
Where special packaging or labeling is required, the applicable format can be agreed in advance.
Logistics Coordination
Altaitrade can work with third-party logistics providers designated by the partner or agreed as part of the cooperation model.
Once an order is prepared, the shipment can be handed over to the relevant carrier or logistics company for final transportation.
The division of responsibilities between the seller, Altaitrade, and the logistics provider is defined before operations begin.
Returns and Exceptions
A reliable drop shipping process also requires clear procedures for exceptions.
Depending on the agreed terms, cooperation may include procedures for:
- customer returns
- refused deliveries
- undeliverable shipments
- damaged goods
- incorrect fulfillment
- shipment discrepancies
- returned inventory
The applicable procedure, responsibility, and cost allocation are agreed between the parties before the service is launched.
Tobacco and Regulated Products
Tobacco products are subject to specific legal, customs, age-verification, labeling, advertising, sale, and delivery requirements depending on the destination country.
Drop shipping cooperation involving tobacco products is therefore organized only where the proposed transaction and delivery model can be carried out in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The business partner remains responsible for ensuring that its sales activity, customer-facing process, and target market comply with the laws applicable to its business. Responsibilities related to importation, taxation, customs clearance, age verification, product notification, labeling, and final delivery should be clearly defined between all parties before shipments begin.

- online retailers
- distributors
- wholesalers
