Dropship Pros & Cons

Artisan Furniture at the Heart of Dropshipping

At Artisan Furniture, dropshipping is not just a supply chain model β€” it is a way of extending our workshop in Jaipur, India into the hands of resellers across the globe. Every item originates from our own factory, where skilled artisans craft solid mango wood furniture with care and sustainability at the core. Instead of forcing our partners to hold stock, we take full responsibility for production, storage, logistics, and distribution through our global fulfilment centres.

This approach allows businesses to sell Artisan Furniture pieces directly to customers across the UK, EU, North America, and Australia without the cost or burden of inventory. In effect, our dropshipping programme brings the authenticity and craftsmanship of Jaipur to living rooms, bedrooms, and offices worldwide.

Our strength lies in combining manufacturing with distribution. With a fully owned artisan factory in Jaipur and fulfilment centres spread across five global hubs, we make international trade seamless:

  • Ipswich, UK – Our flagship hub, covering the United Kingdom and international worldwide deliveries (excluding EU).
  • Magdeburg, DE and Madrid, ES – Serving the European Union with frictionless, borderless access.
  • Fairview, New Jersey & Compton, California (USA) – Covering all 50 states, with free delivery to 48 mainland states and surcharges only for Alaska and Hawaii.
  • Brampton, Canada – Dedicated to serving all 10 provinces with localised delivery.
  • Melbourne, Australia – Extending our reach to the Australian market with seamless fulfilment.

By removing the traditional barriers of international trade, our dropshipping programme gives resellers direct access to five of the world’s largest consumer markets, backed by one production source β€” Artisan Furniture.

Dropshipping Cons

  1. Dropshipping is a competitive industry and requires sustained effort and time to market products and earn profits.
  2. All returns must be logged within stipulated timelines (2 working days).
  3. Prices may be higher than those of our wholesale programme.
  4. Delivery surcharges apply for regions outside designated free-delivery zones. Consumer protection laws such as the
  5. Consumer Rights Act 2015, Sale of Goods Act 1979, and Supply of Goods & Services Act 1982 β€” or their equivalents in the UK, EU, US, Canada, and Australia β€” apply differently to B2B operations like Artisan Furniture, and are therefore limited in scope.
  6. Resellers must understand that Artisan Furniture operates strictly on a B2B basis across all five markets, and consumer law frameworks designed for end customers do not extend in the same way to business partners.
  7. Our dropshipping programme is exclusively available to traders and businesses. We do not sell directly to the public in any market.
