Pros

1. Custom Website and Domain – Membership with Sunrise Wholesale grants you your own domain and an incredibly robust website, complete with professionally designed templates and apps. It has a whole host of features that can help you get your store up and running in a heartbeat. It allows for seamless integration with Shopify and Bigcommerce, easy credit card purchasing setup, automated tracking numbers, automatic updating of out-of-stock and discontinued items, and much more. This is truly a great value for those who are seeking to quickly set up shop.
2. Transparent Product Pricing – Unlike some drop shipping companies, Sunrise Wholesale does not require anyone to sign up just to see their product pricing. This is a huge plus for everyone because it not only saves you the trouble of signing up only to be scared away by the product pricing, it also signifies that Sunrise Wholesale is confident that it can give you the best value with its service. All of the information you need is readily displayed, namely: retail price, Gold Member price, item weight, item dimensions, shipping cost, as well as how many are in stock, and whether or not an item is discontinued. A detailed description for every product is also on tap.
3. Amazon & eBay Tools – Sunrise Wholesale doesn't just equip you with your very own website, they also provide some very useful tools so you can put your items on two of the biggest online shopping portals: Amazon and eBay. With their Amazon Selling and Research Manager, and eBay Listing Wizard  and Research Tool, product data and images are automatically updated and sent to your respective listings. In addition, these tools allow you to fulfill orders with a single click, analyze stats and charts for easy researching of product trends, and many more. Having your products on these two platforms will ensure more visibility for your company, and Sunrise Wholesale makes the whole process easy and painless with these tools.
4. No Minimum Order – No need to worry about ordering in bulk when all you need is a few items. You can even order as little as one product.

Cons

1. Limited Products – As of this writing, there are over 15,000 products on offer from Sunrise Wholesale. While that doesn't seem like a small number, some might find it a little lacking, especially when compared to other drop shipping companies, whose products range in the millions. That said, there are a lot of quality items on offer, even if some can be considered as niche products.
2. Restocking Fee – Whenever a product is returned for reasons other than defects or damage acquired from delivery, Sunrise Wholesale charges you a 20% restocking fee. This means that if, for whatever reason, a buyer decides they don't want to keep the item and return it, you must pay the 20% restocking fee. Of course, not every buyer will return items for no reason, so this is a small issue.

Like most dropship service, there is a membership fee to use Sunrise Wholesale's services. You can pay monthly or yearly. The yearly rate offers the best value. There are no dropship fees or minimum order amounts, but you will be charged a 20 percent restocking fee for non-defective products your customers return. Sunrise offers a seven-day free trial; you need a credit card to sign up, but it allows you to see what features are available.

Sunrise Wholesale offers the standard shipping options that most dropship services do, including order tracking and blind shipping. Orders placed before 1 p.m. Pacific Time are shipped same day. Average shipping times are five to seven days, and shipping is available in the U.S. and Canada.

This dropshipper aggregates products from its supplier, so you can manage your inventory through its online portal. Sunrise Wholesale offers integration with Shopify and Bigcommerce. If you use its shopping site options, orders placed on your site can be processed directly without you needing to log in to your account.

Sunrise Wholesale offers customer support through phone and email. When we contacted customer service, representatives responded quickly and provided answers to our questions. There is also live chat on the website, available during business hours. The site provides some educational resources, including video tutorials and FAQs on running an online business and using dropship services.

Sunrise Wholesale has a smaller inventory than some of the other dropshippers we reviewed. It has strong integration features with eBay, Shopify and Bigcommerce. It does charge a steep restocking fee but has reasonable membership fees, especially if you pay for an annual membership.
