drop ship

drop ship
To deliver goods for a business directly to its customers, as though the business owned a relevant inventory, but the manufacturer is the real source of that delivery.

If you drop ship the orders, then you dont need to own the products; thus, fewer of your customers suspect youre acting as a middle man.
