IMHO, you Do Not want to deal with anyone that expects a start up or monthly fee as part of their program. If they really have anything to offer, they will do it with no membership fee's.

Here are two brand name fragrance sites that I have been using for years. They Do Not have a memership fee.

FragranceNet Wholesale : They provide a price list but, you will need to get the images yourself. I use FragranceNet.com as my stand by. They Do Not charge a membership fee [or drop shipping fee].

FragranceX.com : This is my number one supplier. Prices are usually lower and stock is usually plentiful. Again, they Do Not charge a membership fee [or drop shipping fee] and provide you with a price list [for Excel] and allow you to link to their images. There is also an Easy Populate file available for those using Cre Loaded, My Supreme Cart and osCommerce which you can get at inventorysource.com for $25 per month [provided by inventorysource.com].

InventorySource.com is also a great way to sell a variety of products, with no member fees, and get the Easy Populate file.

If you want to get into the "Alternative Fragrances," I have another source for you. Designer Fragrances, Inc. Some consider alternatives "knock offs."

They Do Not charge a membership fee [or drop shipping fee]. They have two types of alternative fragrances available at $2 [regular] and $5 [extra strength]. Good source for flea market merchandise sales. I used them before and made as much as $17.95 per bottle on the regular scents alone!

I am sure there are those that will disagree with me as far as the member and monthly fee thing goes but again, if they really had anything to offer, they would not need to charge. I have dealt with companies that have charged fees and you get nothing but access and the cheaper prices. There are a slew of places around that will allow you the access and not charge you the fee's but, you do have to look around.

There are product sourcing services like doba.com or simplx.com that do charge fee's. Product sourcing companies do not stock the merchandise but provide you access to sometimes hundreds of different supplies, can hep reduce drop shipping/shipping fee's etc. However, you are getting much more than most will ever consider giving to you... not to mention that each site offers access to more than 750,000 products.

And DO NOT PAY for "wholesale lists" as they are compiled junk.
