We have been providing a wholesale supply service
to retailers for over 8 years, all goods offered are held
in stock at our Leyburn, North Yorkshire warehouse, from
where goods to your customers are despatched.
Animal Prints UK offers an
unrivalled range of gifts with a common theme – i.e. all feature high
quality artwork of animals. The range extends to approaching 1,000 designs,
and T-shirts & Sweaters are available in a large range of sizes for
each design.
Our drop shipping service enables you to:
- Give customers the opportunity to order from you as wide a choice of gifts from our range as you wish.
- Offer
gifts for sale from your own website, Ebay, advertising
in newspapers or magazines etc
- Have goods promptly despatched by us direct to your
customers to fulfil the orders they have placed with
you.
The most
significant advantages of the arrangement are:
You don’t
have to buy stock beforehand, or run any risk of buying
stock that you don’t sell.
You can offer our entire range if you choose, or and you
don’t need to have money tied up in stock. We take
that risk for you.
You don't have to worry about packaging or postage arrangements
- we do it all for you.
Why
is a fee payable?
The drop shipping
service is intended for people who wish to offer our giftware
for sale on a regular basis, and we needed a simple arrangement
to discourage people from enrolling just for personal
purchases. You are therefore charged a one-off registration
fee of £30 to enable you to use the service.
How
does the scheme operate ?
When you registered
as a Drop Shipping Retailer we provided you with your
login and password to get full access to our drop shipping
website and to images of our range to enable you to add
the gifts you wish to offer to your website, Ebay, Catalogue,
shop etc.
You decide the prices and shipping charges that you wish
to set. As a guide, setting prices for gifts at 2.35 x
our price to you would give you a 100% markup and cover
VAT also.
Once you start receiving orders, you collect payment from
your customers, notify us of the gifts you wish us to
despatch to your customers, and pay us at that time for
the gifts and shipping.
Example 1:
· A customer orders from you two Welsh Slate Clocks at a price of £21.99 each plus shipping charge of £10. The customer pays you £53.98.
· You place an order with us to drop ship this order to your customer, for which you pay £23 + shipping of £7.95 + Vat = £36.36, giving you a profit of £17.62
Example 2:
· A customer orders from you one 3D Mug at a price of £7.50, and a gift box of coasters for £11.99, plus shipping charge of £3.50. The customer pays you £22.99.
· You place an order with us to drop ship this order to your customer, for which you pay £8.16 + shipping of £3.21 + Vat = £13.36, giving you a profit of £9.63
