Petswarehouse - to be painfully honest, if I was selling off a website I'd rather just do the affiliate thing. No backorders, returns, etc. to deal with. I think drop shipping works better for selling off of EBay or maybe if you have a product site and just want to add some more products.
I think drop shipping is a good way to get started, and I did well for quite awhile on my own website and EBay. Most transactions go well, some customers will give you heartburn. Make sure a reliable and professional distributor has your back!
Plus with affiliate marketing you don't have to worry about sales tax, etc. That said ... I learned a lot doing drop shipping, and found some great suppliers. It was a good education...but now I mostly do affiliate marketing from my websites.

As for issues with the dropship supplier I mentioned, you could probably contact them to work something out if you really want to push them. I have found some distributors to be very flexible if you work with them.
