Try one of these (at your own risk)

http://www.compgallery.com for dvds and cds

http://www.dbldistributing.com for consumer electronics

I haven't tried either, so you may want to check out all the details first & see if the product ranges they offer are suitable.

I'm based in the UK so have little experience of using US Dropshippers. The ones I mentioned were recommended to me.

Unfortunately most people who find a good dropshipper keep it to themselves. Have you considered SaleHoo or a similar site or would you rather do your own research to find one.

It's back up but I can't see anything relevant on the site to your query.

Dropshipping is hard business,firstly you must do much research to find out reliable dropshippers by your own,not just others,you will learn more from the process of search.but here some basic tips for you to find reliable suppliers as following:
1) Go to the any dropship or wholesale online forum discussed about dropshipping company.
2) Go to B2b (business to business) website such as alibaba.com, ecplaza.net, ec21.com, esource.co.uk, wholesalecentral.com, wholesalepages.co.uk and a lot more business to business website.
3) Go to the biggest and trusted directory like dmoz.org and go to wholesale subdirectory.

hope it helps,and feel free to try my homepage to gain some useful informations

regards,

Don't bother with the US - Start importing from China and India - this is the only way to do it.

I find that there too many risks with the "popular" droppshippers. Lack of stock, shipping time and saturation to name a few. I was lucky enough to find a company that blind ships for me. As long as I buy some product outright, they will ship directly for me.

A good source for US is WWB, the membership isn't free but gets some great reviews the majority of the time. Problem is very few cater for electronics as the nature of the market makes it exceptionally hard work...

Honestly, I don't believe dropshipping is the way to go. Way too many scams and even if they are not scams they are unreliable. Further, if someone found a good dropshipper, I highly doubt they will tell you about it since that would create competition.

If you want a sustainable business then try to locate stock locally, doesn't have to be expensive but something people would want to buy. refer to local business directories and see if you can find suppliers for anything in there. if yes, then check ebay to see if that stuff is selling and for how much, if it is then negotiate a good price with the wholesalers and only buy a few to test the water and take it from there.

Hope that helps...to your success
