Advice on starting a drop shipping business

I want to start a drop shipping online shop. The products can be anything that could be profitable.

I'm thinking about stuff like:

• Latex clothing
• Toys for children
• Japanese electronics like rice cookers

My questions:

• Any general advice on drop shipping?
• Is there a list of reliable drop shippers?
• What if, for example, the product doesn't arrive or the customer claims to have not received it?

Thank you for your time.
