I�m planning to set up an online bookstore. Want to use a dropshipper for my business. Can somebody give me references of a few UK dropshippers? Thanks for your replies in advance.

Dropship Books is one of the most popular dropshipping firms for books in UK. They have books on a wide range of topics including children’s, fiction, business, health, language, sports, science, and travel. Moreover, their service is great.

I’ve no idea about the other book dropshippers in UK. I’d suggest you visit Dropship Books, Dvds and Music Dropshippers in UK - Dropship Book & Music Directory to get references of some other UK book dropshippers and wholesalers.

The only downside of using Dropship books is that their prices are higher than Amazon prices. I understand it’s not easy for a company to compete with big brands like Amazon.

But you need to choose your dropshipper carefully; if your prices are not competitive, your sales will be slow.

I also agree that the prices of books on Amazon and eBay are low and therefore you need to carefully compare the rates offered by the dropshipper before signing up with them.

In my opinion selling new books is not very profitable. You should cater to used-books market too in order to rev up your bottom line.

Good point! Selling used books could be quite profitable. You could get used books from yard sales, library sales, and garage sales at dirt prices and sell them at a good mark-up on your own website.

I’m planning to sell used as well as new books. If you could give references of some more wholesalers, it would be great. Thanks.

I’ve used Gardners Books. It’s the biggest book wholesaler in UK that supplies to big stores like Tesco.com and Hut.com.

For more information, visit their website Gardners Books.

Gardners is one of the largest wholesalers of books in Europe. Being a big player in the field of book dropshipping, their up-front fee is quite high.

However, they allow you to integrate your website with their system so that you could send orders directly from your website without hassles.

Many people have recommended Dropship Books. Has anybody used their services? Please share your experience. Moreover, I want to know about their dropshipping program fee.
