Most people getting into online retail assume they need to carry inventory. Buy product, store it somewhere, ship it out themselves. I understand why — that’s how retail used to work. But it’s not how we work, and for a lot of the dealers in our network, that’s the whole reason they chose us.
When you apply for a dealer account with Safety Technology, here’s what the drop ship stun gun model looks like in practice: a customer places an order on your website. You forward that order to us. We pick, pack, and ship it the same day — in plain packaging with no Safety Technology branding anywhere on the box. Your customer gets their order fast. You collect the margin. We handle everything behind the scenes.
No warehouse lease. No inventory sitting on a shelf. No capital tied up in product you haven’t sold yet. That’s the model, and we’ve been running it since 1986.
Nothing — at least not in the ways most people worry about. There’s no drop ship fee per order. No monthly access fee. No minimum order requirement. You pay wholesale price when a customer pays you, which means you’re never fronting money on product that might not move.
Dealer margins on our stun gun line average around 40%, with some products running higher. Our catalog covers compact stun guns, high-voltage models, combination units with flashlights or alarms, and rechargeable options across a wide retail price range. You’re not limited to one or two SKUs — you get the full line.

The dealers in our network sell through a lot of different channels. Some run standalone ecommerce sites. Some list on Amazon or eBay alongside their own store. Some do gun shows on weekends and use drop shipping to handle their web orders without maintaining a separate inventory system. A few are building out full non-lethal self-defense product lines and use our stun gun category as the anchor.
The common thread is that nobody wants to be in the warehousing business. They want to sell. Drop shipping lets them do exactly that — focus on finding customers and making sales, while we handle the physical side of the operation.

No. That’s the whole point of the model. When a customer orders from you, you forward the order to us and we ship it directly from our warehouse. You never touch the product. There’s no inventory requirement and no minimum order.
No — we don’t charge a per-order drop ship fee. Most wholesale drop ship programs tack on $2–$5 per shipment, which eats into your margin at scale. We don’t do that. You pay wholesale price, your customer pays retail, and the difference is yours.
Same day, as long as the order comes in during business hours. Fast fulfillment matters for your customer reviews and repeat business, and we treat your orders the same way we’d treat our own. You can count on consistent turnaround.
No. We ship blind — meaning no Safety Technology name, logo, or paperwork in the package. Your customer sees your brand, not ours. That’s standard for every order we fulfill, not something you have to request.
You need a state resale certificate, or two of the following: a business registration, business license, or W9/EIN. If you’re just getting started and don’t have those in place yet, we have a $35 setup option that gets you qualified. Either way, there’s a path in.
Stun gun laws vary by state and municipality — a handful of locations restrict or prohibit them. Before you set up your store, it’s worth checking the rules for both your location and your customer base. We can point you toward general guidance, but we’re not lawyers and this isn’t legal advice.
If the model makes sense to you — no inventory, no drop ship fees, same-day shipping, full stun gun catalog — then the right move is to apply. The authorized dealer application takes a few minutes. Once you’re approved, you’ll have access to wholesale pricing and everything you need to start selling.
I’ve helped a lot of people build real businesses this way. Drop shipping stun guns isn’t complicated — you just need the right supplier behind you. We’ve been that supplier for nearly 40 years, and we’re not going anywhere. Come work with us.
