How a Drop Shipping Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Vendor Agreement in New York

In 2024, a business in New York sought assistance in drafting a vendor agreement for their ecommerce marketplace, which operates on a dropshipping model. The client required a comprehensive sales agreement to establish an ongoing relationship with vendors who would ship various physical products directly to customers. Key considerations included terms on pricing, warranty, returns, and payment, ensuring both parties were aware of their rights and liabilities. As a result, the client received 12 proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $495 to $2,200, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of one week.
