less or more overall effectiveness ? <| sep |> We have lower jackpots in Canada , but the winnings aren ' t taxed , which is nice . But still , I don ' t need $ 21 million , at minimum I just need maybe $ 100 , 000 to pay off student loan debt , and pay the rest of university . After that I ' ll be fine . <| sep |> If your target market uses Amazon to purchase the kinds of products you sell , you need to use Amazon regardless of the hazards of drop shipping with them unless they ' re gonna kill your wife or something , because should tip the scales a bit . As a new company , you ' re simply not likely to have sufficient influence to effect real behavioral changes in your customers , and that increases the importance of things like selling through their traditional purchasing channels . Can you imagine selling a product to millennials using a catalogueonly or brickandmortar only model ? I know this isn ' t the question you asked , and I don ' t have any personal experience drop shipping with amazon , but I think this makes it all irrelevant anyway .
