>Wrong on so many levels, but explain how it’s 2x the order processing time. They just send the order electronically to a warehouse they don’t own.

Sure, if the dropshipper is an active enough business that they spend money on automating the process. Otherwise, you're waiting for the dropshipper to confirm order info, then send the order to the wholesaler/manufacturer, then waiting for the actual shipper to process the info and pick the order.

>And are companies that list their products on Amazon but fulfill the order themselves bad companies?

I mean, yeah...kinda. A huge chunk of Amazon is fake listings and dropshippers running low cost storefronts to trick people into buying knockoff products.

>If they are fulfilling by Amazon, isn’t that kind of like drop shipping? 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you're buying through Amazons storefront, then no, it's not.
