The Raw Truth About Dropshipping in Pakistan
Dropshipping in Pakistan Let me be brutally honest – everyone’s selling the “get rich quick” dream, but I’m here to tell you the real story of Dropshipping in Pakistan. I’ve been through all the struggles:
-
When PayPal froze my $2,000 balance
-
That time 150 customers demanded refunds because of delayed shipping
-
How I survived when Facebook banned my ad account
But after 4 years, I’m consistently making 400,000-600,000 PKR/month from my stores. Here’s exactly how I did it.
2025 Reality Check: What’s Changed?
-
Facebook Ads Don’t Work Like Before
-
My cost per sale has tripled since 2022
-
Solution: I now use TikTok organic + micro-influencers
-
-
Customers Want FAST Shipping
-
In 2020, people waited 3 weeks. Now? Maximum 7 days.
-
I only use Pakistani suppliers from these groups:
-
“Pakistan Dropshipping Suppliers” (Facebook)
-
“Daraz Wholesale Dealers” (WhatsApp)
-
-
-
Payment Problems Got Worse
-
Stripe still isn’t available
-
My solution: Direct bank transfers + Easypaisa QR codes
-
My Exact 2025 Dropshipping Blueprint
1. Niche Selection (What Actually Sells)
Forget those “hot product” lists. Here’s what’s working right now:
-
Islamic Tech Gadgets
-
Digital Quran pens (70% profit margin)
-
Smart tasbeeh counters
-
-
Budget Gym Equipment
-
Resistance bands (selling 300+/month)
-
Adjustable dumbbells
-
2. Supplier Secrets No One Tells You
I’ve been burned by:
-
AliExpress suppliers sending wrong items
-
Local suppliers suddenly increasing prices
My 2025 Supplier Shortlist:
-
Pakistan Drop shipping Hub (Lahore-based)
-
WhatsApp: +92 347 4218729 (msg me for real contact)
-
-
Tech Import Pakistan (for gadgets)
-
Fashion House (for modest wear)
Pro Tip: Always order samples first. I lost 50,000 PKR learning this.

-
Theme: Dawn (free version)

Essential Apps:

PakWheels COD Verifier (reduced fraud by 80%)
