Dropshipper

[mikeyred]

Hi Guys,

I am looking to expand my range and due to economics.... would like to use a drop-shipper. I wondered if you know of any reputable ones. It appears to be a minefield of scammers and bad dropshippers that I was looking for a tried and trusted recommendation that I can go to initially.

I am looking for Natural products to enhance our own production items in any area as it is not cost effective to add any more new lines other than the ones in the pipe line at the moment with Green Bear UK. It does not matter if it does not do natural products... I can start there and phone them up and hopefully their trusted knowledge of the industry will guide me in the right direction and avoid the pitfalls

Any information will be gratefully received by the mikeyred benevolent fund ;)

Hi Mike,

The only Dropshipper we have ever used and found to be worth recommending is ATS Distribution: http://www.atsdistribution.co.uk/Default.aspx

We used them for about two years with no problems at all. We now specialise at lot more in Fair Trade products which they don't do. (unfortunately)

Thanks for that Mike.... its somewhere to start, hopefully if i phone them they may give me some recomendations.... we are following the fairtrade policy as well, the outfit are you using now, do they do anything close to what we do?? or do you not use a dropship[per now

Cheers!

Hi Mike,

We mainly sell Fair Trade giftware, a lot of recycled goods and a few eco friendly garden products. We don't dropship at all at the moment, a few of the suppliers offer it and we are looking into it. Our main priority at the moment is getting people to spend money - lots of "window shoppers" but not many "buyers". We are concentrating on our existing customers with some juicy email offers.

Our site and your Green Bear uk site don't appear to clash at all. In fact they sort of complement each other, might be an idea to exchange links - could do us both a bit of good! I'll PM you with a list of suppliers - don't want to bore the rest of the Forum users! ;)
