Drop shipper – This is a wholesale company who agree to send their products directly to YOUR customer. They will not have a minimum order value. All items sent by the drop shipper should be dispatched in plain packaging, this is to ensure your customer’s do not know someone else has sent the item. This company will charge you wholesale prices for their products allowing you to set your own price (retail) price. Your profit as the seller is the difference you buy for and what you sell at.

Advantages of using a Dropshipper

• No minimum order amount
• Ship to anywhere in the world

• A new range of items available to sell quickly

There's a lot of choice of drop shipping companies in the UK now, most of these are included on this site by using the link on the left. We suggest that you consider the following when thinking about working with a dropshipper:

• Make sure that any Drop shipper has contact information, including address and telephone number. If you can speak to them before, then all the better.
• Paying to become a member. Always question this, what does it get you? Are the drop shippers more interested in memberships fees than customer service? If you do pay to become a member what is the value in this for you? For example, do the dropshipping company provide you with sales tools, CSV files or something else exclusive.
• Always place a couple of orders with them before launching their products to YOUR customers. This will allow you to set reasonable expectations with your customers based on your experience and not what the drop shipper tells you.
• Ask about their out of stock notification method, there's nothing worse than selling an item only to be informed it is out of stock when you place the order with your drop shipper.
