Dropshipping in the UK allows the seller to only pay for the goods sold, rather than purchasing larger volumes of stock.
This is a good way to go if you want to sell a new product but can’t be sure how well it will be taken up by your customers.
The fact you don’t have to carry stock would be ideal if you have an online business and no space to stock products. There’s also the added bonus that you don’t have to package the product and arrange shipping, which can in some cases mean additional staff, particularly for larger businesses.
