Hello from Northern Ireland

[Weirfire]

Hello,

My name is Stephen and I run a web developement business in Northern Ireland and have just recently been developing a craft website just to give information about crafts. I hope to develope this into an ecommerce website if I can find craft drop shippers to help me out.

I'm not originally from Northern Ireland. I lived in Scotland for about 22 years before getting married to a wee Northern Irish lass then we moved over here to live. :)

Looking forward to getting to know you all and hopefully make some contributions to these forums :)

Hi Stephen,
Welcome to these forums, nice to meet you. I have only joined recently myself, but it seems to be a nice friendly place, and a good place to find out more about crafts.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!

Good luck with your venture!!

What do you mean by craft drop shippers? Someone who has the stock and sends it when a sale occurs, or someone who sells the stock but hasn't got it and gets the shipper to send it?

Yes the first one.

Where I implement a cart system on one of my sites and sell products which a drop shipper stores in their warehouse. I then pass on the sale information to the drop shipper and they package it and send it to the customer.

I think the whole point of this system is that it cuts out the high street store from the equation and allows warehouses stocking products to make a lot more money from sales.

Good luck with your venture - craft supplies are soo expensive and the high street shops that sell them are all specialist so they have the market to sell through the roof!

I'm a B&W photographer form good old N.I.
