When it can be worth it
You can ship a focused catalogue. You can explain the product. You can acquire customers at a cost below contribution margin. You can answer email.

Is dropshipping worth it?
“Worth it” is personal: compared with a job, another business model, or doing nothing. The model still works for shops that control offer and traffic. It fails for shops that expected the platform to produce customers.
When it is not
You need income this month with no audience and no ad budget. You will not connect payments. You will only import 2,000 products and wait.
Those are process failures, not proof that retail is dead.
Compared with other ecommerce models
Holding inventory can improve shipping times and margins if you forecast well. Custom products need production. Marketplaces take listing fees and own the customer. Dropshipping trades stock risk for supplier and support risk.
