I don't think it's "most consumers don't care about dropshipping and only care about price and delivery." I think that's true only if that is the kind of customer you want to attract. If you want customers who are motivated by "I want quality" or "I want service" or "I want custom," then you can design your business to attract those customers.

I make a large percentage of my products. I supposedly compete against many people who simply buy their products from distributors and use canned descriptions, pictures, etc. They HAVE to compete on price. I don't. That's one of the advantages of NOT dropshipping.
