Dropshipping for stores

Sell ​​more with less inventory

Dropshipping is a system that was originally aimed at sales via the internet. The web shops were usually “attic room companies” and had neither the space nor the money to purchase and store stock. This led to the request to be allowed to sell directly from the wholesaler's stock. Because that is actually what dropship does: making your own (valuable) stock redundant.

But dropshipping can also be of added value for you as a retailer. And you probably already do it. After all, customers are already ordering things that you don't have in stock. Only you have the order come to the store instead of sending it to the customer. Because that's what we do with dropshipping: we ship it directly to your customer.

You probably have a lot of regular customers, and that's great. But a large part of your customers will only visit your store once or rarely. Because they come from far away or simply don't like shopping. So that is the moment when you should make full use of your sales opportunities. And with a wide collection that you can also sell, even if you don't have it in the store. With dropshipping you ensure that your (one-time) customer becomes a buyer.

Service

This is what you can expect from us

High margins
Most wholesalers charge low margins in the case of dropshipping. That is unjustified, because dropshippers also incur high costs. That is why at Artishoque we charge the same gross margins for both buyers and dropshippers. However, dropshippers are obliged to use the minimum recommended price. In this way we prevent price dumping and can guarantee healthy margins for everyone. Read more about our pricing and conditions.

Postage costs
We charge a fixed, cost-based fee for shipping and handling. So even after deducting this, your margins remain intact.

Packaging
All processes at Artishoque are partly focused on dropshipping. This starts with the manufacturing process, where we take the packaging design into account. In contrast to delivery to shops, our packaging is therefore aimed at shipping by post. In all cases where the packaging is not sufficient, we provide sufficient extra protection.

Fast shipping
We deliver all our works of art directly to your customer within 1-5 working days. We ship smaller packages with PostNL. Larger ones with our courier. You will receive a track & trace so that orders can be followed.

Shipping guarantee
Something can always go wrong along the way. But here too we take care of you and your customer, thanks to our shipping guarantee. For example, we exchange a damaged product free of charge or send a new one if it is unexpectedly lost.

Returns
Our return rate is low, approximately 5%. But every return is one too many. They cost you as a webshop owner a lot of time and money. That is why we offer a unique returns service. We do not offer free returns, but we do accept returns. And that saves you a lot of time and space. Not least because packaging and contents are often damaged and take a lot of time to repair and ever sell. We may charge costs for shortcomings of your customer, which you can of course pass on.
