High ticket dropshipping on marketplaces worth it?

[Envader]

Been running a dropshipping store for about six months now with low-priced items, margins are thin and competition is brutal. Thinking about switching to high ticket products instead, like furniture or electronics. Anyone here doing this? Is it actually more profitable or just different headaches? What are the real pros and cons?

High ticket can mean better profit per sale, but you'll get way fewer orders. Customer service becomes more demanding because people spending serious money expect perfect quality and fast responses. Returns are also more expensive to handle. It really depends on your ability to handle those bigger transactions and complaints.

The problem with high ticket is most people jump in without understanding how different it is from selling cheap stuff. You're dealing with longer sales cycles, customers who research heavily before buying, and if something goes wrong the financial hit is way bigger. It's not just about higher prices meaning more profit. There's a good breakdown of whether high ticket dropshipping is actually profitable here: https://easync.io/articles/high-ticket-dropshipping/ .
