Admin Note: Please read this thread before anything else.


We're trying to gather whether anyone would be interested if we dropshipped our products. You can find some of our range here: www.arcadia-ltd.com

We will only be stocking the most poplular products for dropshipping, and others can be order in upon request.

We'll introduce a, introductory subscription fee of £20 per month with free shipping on video game titles.

I'd appreciate your feedback and thoughts....

What will the average saving be for £20 per month? For example you have Tomb Raider Underworld (XB) on there for £25. What would the Dropship Price be?

I think the UK is need of a decent video game dropshipper, so ye.

However I have never been a big fan of subscription sites, I think this could put people off.

The other advantage to paying a subscription is lower unit prices. If you can sell the volume, you can make it work in your favor.

The rough discount on each item will be about £2 of each game. But it varies depending on what it is...

Dropshipping sites will always have a subscrition fee, and we intend to profit from it, so thats why we're dropping the prices.

Well, it's unlikely unless you're willing to pay the extra amount. But receipts will be retained anyway.

Though, we're also thinking to discount items depending on the subscription fee per months. For example, a £10 /PM may get your £1 off, £20 PM may get you £2 off etc.
