Pete, many thanks for sharing this here. As a new, fledgling business, this kinda contact is exactly the thing my business partner & i need. You've provided a link to goods that your selling yourself.

Are you offering this contact to folks who can supply logistics here in UK? And, on the other hand, folks who want to avail of the potential dropshipping end, go to your products? (which i assume you've included as they are is?). Apologies if i'm on the wrong track here, just clarifying whats on potentially on offer on each end of the spectrum, so to speak.

take care
Wayne.

At this point there are only a couple buying any appreciable inventory for stock. As far as I know, not for resale to others, but for retail sales of their own.

It's truly a shame, but the fact that most items clear customs with no VAT, but larger orders are subject to VAT, it puts anyone buying to resell at a disadvantage. At least that is how I understand it.

Frankly, we'd love to have someone in the UK who could buy several hundred and re-distribute, but at this time it has not happened.

Most of our sales are from one to 5 units, about half and half dropship and to the buyer who sells on their own. In just the 3 weeks or so, we have had a number of buyers with 5 to 10 or more orders placed, so it's working for some of them.

It's really interesting to see someone in Australia making a sale in the Netherlands, or someone in the UK selling in the US, etc. Truly a global opportunity.

I hope this gives you an idea of how it comes together.

Hi Pete

Sounds interesting and maybe something i could get involved in.

It all depends really on what they specalise in , i mean their must be a particular product or industry they sell in at the moment.

What is their main inventory.

What I'm already selling. The MPs and such. This is an old thread, before the one on the nanos, I think.
