Dropshipping is a well-known revenue model that has gone through quite a few developments. Until recently, anyone could easily drop-ship products through Chinese websites such as AliExpress and AliBaba, but now there are more and more regulations surrounding dropshipping through China.
One example of that is that nowadays you have to pay VAT and import duties on products you buy through China. That makes margins a lot less favorable than they used to be. In addition, dropshipping Chinese products has regularly been portrayed in a bad light through various media. This was to be expected, given the long delivery times, poor communication with suppliers and untested products.
For these reasons, more and more online entrepreneurs are looking for quality and reliable European dropshipping suppliers. But how do you find them? We explain it to you in this blog.
Different dropshipping suppliers
In general, there are two different forms of European dropshipping suppliers. You have suppliers that are completely set up for dropshipping, where you can often get started very quickly. A good example of that are TWM and Van Der Meer.
The advantage of these vendors is that they have a wide selection, have a strong digital infrastructure and offer services that make it easy for you to dropship. The downside is, these vendors have many corporate clients, so you may face competition.
Besides suppliers that are fully equipped for dropshipping, there are also dozens of European companies and brands looking for resellers of their products. These are parties that do not directly promote dropshipping, but are always looking for parties or (online) stores that want to resell their products. A good example of this is Growing Concepts. The advantage? Less competition and unique branded products you can sell. The disadvantage is that supply is often more limited.
