Zendrop is a US-based dropshipping supplier platform with warehouses in the US, China, and Netherlands. Founded in 2019, it targets Shopify merchants who want fast shipping and cleaner product pages without the hassle of sourcing individual suppliers from AliExpress.
Shipping Speed Test Results
We ordered 52 products across electronics, beauty, fitness, and home categories from Zendrop's US-stocked items. Results:
| Shipping Origin | Avg. Delivery (US) | Fastest | Slowest |
|---|---|---|---|
| US Warehouse | 6.2 days | 4 days | 9 days |
| China (standard) | 18.4 days | 14 days | 26 days |
| China (expedited) | 8.1 days | 6 days | 11 days |
The US warehouse times are accurate. China standard shipping was slower than advertised (they claim 7-12 days). Expedited China shipping is the sweet spot if US warehouse stock runs out.

Verdict
Zendrop earns 7.9/10 for delivering on its core promise: fast US shipping. The catalog limitation and Shopify-only focus are real drawbacks, but if you're running a Shopify store targeting US customers in a category Zendrop covers, it's a solid choice.
