Dropshipping is a business model that lets you sell products by using a supplier.
Hi, I would like to use printify to start selling my own branded products. I am based in the UK but the products available for UK shipping are very limited, so I would like to sell my products in the US where there are a lot more options. I am concerned though that I will not be able to actually physically receive my own products to test / inspect before offering up for sale. I am also concerned that I would be able to shoot any promotional content as I won’t actually have the products. Has anyone experienced this before or have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hey, @mlynn648
I definitely see where you are coming from. I think checking the products for quality and promotional purposes are very smart things to do with a print-on-demand business. While you could certainly continue to sell US exclusive items without taking those steps, I would also consider connecting with multiple print on demand suppliers that fulfill to UK customers to build out your product catalog to your needs.
I recommend checking out T-Pop, AOP+, or Printful as they offer products that can be shipped to Europe. If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
