A common horror story in dropshipping regarding customer service is when there is a lack of communication between the dropshipper and the customer. For example, if a product is out of stock, the customer is not informed in a timely manner. Instead, they keep waiting for their order, and when they finally inquire, they find out it's not available. This leads to a lot of dissatisfaction. Dropshippers need to have a proper system in place to keep customers updated on their orders at all times.
