    Sure, as long as you find a drop shipper in the UK or somewhere else very close to you. Shipping charges get too high if you use a drop shipper that is too far away from your customer base. For example, in the U.S., I have an east coast, a midwest and a west coast drop shipper for most of my PC and network cable orders. It allows me to not only charge a little bit less for shipping, but my customers also get their orders more quickly when I drop ship from the closest supplier.

    Hi kix_mc3 ...

    Well..Usually this is the dilemma we have to face when we want to sell online..

    1) You buy products from others to resell..
    Good thing is you have the product in hand where you can take god nice photos of them & repack them the way you like to resell.
    Bad thing is you lose money if you can't finished selling them..or your supplier stops supliying you stocks, then your business greatly affected...also you cant effectively control your selling cost...

    why don't you sell some thing which you make your self...

    just 2 cents of words of mine :)
