Hi,

I run a relatively new online business and I am looking at diversifying to offer my customers wider range of products. I am finding it difficult to source good suppliers of quality video game related merchandise, does anybody have any recommendations or experience in this field? Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Teebag_Republic_Ltd,

Welcome to Wholesale Forum

Have you already thought about approaching large video game publishers to get more information about stocking their merchandise? The publisher can provide you with details of their authorized distributors and in some cases their wholesale price list.

Have a look at the following video game merchandise distributors from the UK:

• Creative Distribution Ltd: - Product Range
• Plus Marketing - UK Wholesaler Trading Cards Stickers Collectables Bungees Euro 2012 Moshi Monsters

You should also contact regular trade suppliers of video games to find out if they can supply you with video game merchandise. Have a look at the following UK games distributor:

• Vogue Distribution - Wholesale Games consoles, games software and accessories, UK

To find many more verified trade suppliers of video games merchandise from the UK and the rest of the EU, try using the two largest UK online trade directories of verified wholesale suppliers eSources and Wholesale Deals. Both list thousands of verified wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers and drop shippers.

Have a look at the following results:

UK Suppliers of Video Games Merchandise

• Pc Games, Consoles and Video Games Wholesale Suppliers in UK - Wholesale Pc Game & Video Game Directory

EU Suppliers of Video Games Merchandise

• EU Pc Games, Consoles and Video Games Wholesale Suppliers - Wholesale Pc Game & Video Game Directory

Consider making the most of Europe's free movement of goods to exploit price differences between European countries. Also approach suppliers of video game merchandise from other EU countries, like the following distributor from France who has also taken over a UK video games wholesaler in 2000 called Planet Distribution:

• History - Bigben Interactive

Make sure the French video games are compatible and that they also play in English; France is the only EU member country that uses the European television standard SECAM as apposed to the older PAL encoding system.

See the following thread to find a list of international video game publishers:

• Authorised Xbox and PS3 distributors India - International video game publishers list - Wholesale Forum
