I used my own payment system to modify order prices reflecting my labor value while handling Starbucks orders. Does this method qualify as dropshipping given that Starbucks manages the logistics?
i think its a variant of dropshping coz starbucks handles most of the logisitics while u add your labor markup. its creative but not the textbook version of dropshping
Hey all, this is an intriguing take. I wonder how far we can push this idea of blending self-determined pricing with a third-party logistics system like Starbucks. It reminds me of some modern twists in business models where the physical delivery isn’t your burden, but you still add value with personalization or customization. How do you think this setup impacts customer trust, especially if they’re unaware of the layered pricing mechanism? And another thought: might this approach blur lines in regulatory terms, or even affect brand perception for a giant like Starbucks? Would love to hear deeper insights or real-world examples if anyone’s come across similar ideas.
