colors white green blue and pink so for

example if you would only want to sell

variant so i want to sell all the

variants right here so i'm going to just

leave it as it is we can also click on

to find this product with another

provider such as

cj drop shipping or sand drop or spock

it or something like that where the it's

already in a us warehouse where i get a

lot lower shipping times however in the

beginning i don't like to spend a lot of

time trying to find the perfect supplier

for this product because most products

you're going to find multiple suppliers

but i want to test this product first

with some ads and make sure that the

product actually works in the market

before i spend more time finding a good

supplier and making sure the shipping

times are as low as possible so that

works fine for me right now so i'm gonna
