Suppliers raise prices or add surcharges after quoting
Print and dropshipping suppliers raise prices or add surcharges after quotes, with little or no notice, so sellers are billed above agreed rates

What's going wrong
Sellers using dropshipping sourcing apps, print-on-demand suppliers, and fulfillment services report that final charges come in above the quoted price. Some markups and fees are never itemized, and one seller found an unannounced increase of over fifteen percent only by checking their own records. Other sellers describe oversize surcharges added after the customer had paid, and a print-on-demand seller says supplier prices rose at short or no notice, leaving fixed retail prices exposed to losses. Thin-margin shops are hit hardest. The opportunity is a verification layer that shows quote, supplier price, markup, and final charge side by side, with alerts when prices move.
