Comparisons
If you already have suppliers, the comparison is structural.
Each comparison here weighs business models: who chooses the supplier, who pays for the goods, who holds title, whether stock is required, how the bill is structured, and when the price becomes binding. Every page states when the other model is the right one, and carries the date its facts were checked.

The four models, before the named vendors
One page compares the four China fulfillment models by category, naming no vendor: dropshipping platforms, dedicated-line China 3PLs, multi-carrier shipping software and fulfillment networks, across who holds the goods, who chooses the channel, what form the delivery promise takes and who answers for the outcome.
Comparisons
The full set
WooliiPorter publishes three model-level comparisons, against CJ Dropshipping, HyperSKU and Zendrop. Each runs the same seven structural questions, compares business models rather than companies, names the cases where the other model is the right choice, and states no price or transit-time comparison, because both vary with route, season and volume.

Before you compare vendors, compare models
Two guides cover the layer beneath the vendor choice: what a coordination layer, a dropshipping agent and an inventory 3PL each ask a merchant to give up, and the eight points to check on any China fulfillment vendor before sending it goods. Both are vendor-neutral and both are checkable against published artifacts.
