 Finding local suppliers, especially well-recommended suppliers, is one of the most essential steps to dropshipping in Europe. Therefore, in order to win the trust of the European consumers market, we need to look out for dropshipping suppliers that provide quality products with fast shipping speeds. That's why in this video, we're going to provide you with a guide that covers all the blueprint for finding the top 15 dropshipping suppliers in Europe. So I know that we're really eager to find out the best dropshipping suppliers, but before we jump into that, let's first cover how to choose a European dropshipping supplier. When choosing a European dropshipping supplier, we should keep in mind the following criteria. Whether the supplier offers wholesale pricing, product niche, dropshipping fees, if any, the minimum order required, shipping and delivery times, the shipping carriers that the suppliers use, the various payment methods accepted, and of course the return policy. Now that we're aware of what factors to consider, we can choose suitable suppliers that offer the best possible terms for dropshipping in the European market. Okay, so let's jump straight into the list of the 15 best dropshipping suppliers in Europe that definitely will not leave you disappointed. So at the top of the list, we have drumroll please, Amazon, a leading American e-commerce company operating almost everywhere globally. So let's have a look at some of the pros and cons of using this supplier. Amazon has millions of products in almost any category, which means there is no limit to what we can sell. Amazon also offers comprehensive product and seller reviews, allowing us to verify the quality of each product. Amazon is pretty impressive when it comes to their fulfillment side. Overall, they have 40 warehouses located all over Europe. And for that exact reason, Amazon is able to ship products at high speeds across Europe. Amazon currently operates in the following European countries through its dedicated websites, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. So we're able to dropship in these countries as well as they neighbouring countries using these websites. On the downside, sourcing from Amazon essentially means that we're competing with other dropshippers for the exact same products. Another drawback is that we face inconsistent shipping and return policies on many of their available products. Second on our list of European dropshipping suppliers is Banggood. As we know, Banggood is a Chinese dropshipping platform that connects over 100,000 reliable suppliers to European consumers. Let's take a look at some of the pros and cons when working with this European dropshipping supplier. Banggood has provided us the opportunity to sell millions of high quality products from various categories. Their product variety includes mobile phones and accessories, home products, clothing and apparel, health and beauty, watches. The list literally goes on and on. Although Banggood is a Chinese company, they have various European warehouses located in countries like the UK, France and Spain. As a result, this supplier allows us to offer fast shipping times all over Europe. They have a wholesale program, there are cashback opportunities and you can qualify for special discounts. The only downside to Banggood is that their standard buying option offers various payment methods. However, their dropshipping program only supports PayPal. So essentially, this downside prevents dropshippers from non-paypal supported countries or those dropshippers who simply don't have PayPal from gaining access to Banggood's wholesale pricing. Taking the third spot on the list of the best dropshipping suppliers in Europe and might I just add they are also one of the top rated Chinese suppliers. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Aliexpress. So what are some of the benefits we can look forward to when working with this dropshipping supplier? Aliexpress has one of the widest selections of products that you're able to dropship from almost any category. Another great thing about Aliexpress is that on their website they offer an excellent way to find the most trending products to sell through the Aliexpress Dropshipping Centre. Aliexpress also allows us to offer fast shipping in Europe through its extensive network of suppliers and warehouses. Just like anything in life, there are some downsides to working with Aliexpress. First off the bat, this platform has many low quality products which would essentially negatively impact our dropshipping store if we had to source them. Aliexpress also sells some knock off products which are highly prohibited to sell when dropshipping. If you do decide to sell these products you can ensure to land yourself up in some legal trouble. Aliexpress also makes it really challenging to process returns. It takes a lot of time to ship the products back to the warehouse and even longer to receive a refund. Coming in at number four on our top European dropshipping suppliers list is CJ Dropshipping. Let's jump straight into the pros and cons that you can expect when working with this dropshipping supplier. So unlike the other European suppliers out there, CJ Dropshipping actually tailors its product selection specifically for dropshippers. Therefore it offers trending items and new products from multiple categories and niches. I mean could that get any better? In addition to this CJ Dropshipping also offers wide label services and a large selection of print on demand products. Another great advantage of using CJ Dropshipping as a supplier is the fact that they allow us to post a product sourcing request. So this essentially means that we can ask the company to source a product that is not yet available on its platform. Then once the product is available on the platform we can then source it into our dropshipping stores and sell it for the best possible profit margin. CJ Dropshipping is also a leader in European shipping speeds. They have a global reach with warehouses in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the UK and many other countries allowing for fast shipping across the European continent. Make sure to read the article version of this video in order to find the various ways to source products from European warehouses. The link to our blog and this article is in our YouTube description below. CJ Dropshipping also has a couple of drawbacks. One of it being that its products are relatively more expensive than its competitors such as AliExpress. The second one being that CJ Dropshipping can improve its outdated user interface and make it more modern and user-friendly. Next up we have Costway, a famous dropshipping supplier in American and European markets supplying home decor products at affordable prices. So let's dive straight into what we can expect when working with this dropshipping supplier. Costway has over 8,000 south branded home decor items from more than 10 categories. Also, Costway's local warehouses are located in UK, Germany, Italy, France and Poland which allow us to dropship these products all over Europe at fast shipping speeds. Another advantage to working with Costway as a supplier is the dropshipping program that they offer. This program grants dropshippers to special promotional pricing, dedicated supports, reward points and so much more. Here are some of Costway's limitations. As a retailer, they do not offer a wholesale program for dropshippers. As a result, dropshippers do not have access to lower prices when buying in bulk. Another thing that can be very off-putting for some dropshippers out there is that Costway includes its company logo on the packaging when shipping products. And because of this, consequently our customers may be really unhappy knowing that we are not the original sellers. The sixth position on our list of course goes to eBay. eBay is one of the pioneers of e-commerce platforms equally popular in Europe as it is in the US. While eBay is mainly used as a selling platform, it makes for a great supplier where we can source products from. So let's have a look at some of the pros and cons when working with eBay as a supplier. eBay has over 1.5 billion listings making them one of the largest suppliers in the world. They also have many products from various niches available for us to list in our stores. eBay's presence in Europe is highly evident with their multiple dedicated websites in countries such as the UK, Germany and Spain. Most importantly, the products that are listed on the European eBay websites are stored in European warehouses. When it comes to eBay's customer service, not many suppliers are school eBay. That's because eBay is a marketplace where individual sellers rely on seller ratings and reviews in order to boost their reputation. However, like Amazon, eBay's major drawback is their inconsistent shop policies. We've all been there. Coming in at number seven on our top European dropshipping supplier list is Wayfair. So Wayfair is an American e-commerce company that primarily focuses on home decors and furniture. While they are mainly American based, they also operate in the UK and Germany making them an excellent European dropshipping supplier. So what can we look forward to when working with this supplier? Wayfair has a massive inventory of home decor items and furniture that we're able to sell in our e-commerce stores. Also, many items come in various designs, colors and materials which essentially just opens up the doors for higher profit margins. The company also provides free shipping for orders over 49 US dollars. Using Wayfair as your European dropshipping supplier also comes with a few downsides. Wayfair does not provide wholesale prices to dropshippers even when ordering involved. The second one being that Wayfair only has warehouses located in the UK and Germany whereas in comparison to other European suppliers, they have warehouses located in multiple countries. Eggs on our list is Vida XL. So Vida XL is a Netherlands based multinational company known for its reasonably priced home and garden furniture. Vida XL strives to provide quality home and garden furniture without compromising the product's quality. Vida XL also provides free shipping across Europe for all its products. If I must say sourcing a high quality product which includes free shipping is a rare benefit which you'll struggle to find in other European suppliers. The downside to using Vida XL as a supplier is that you're only able to dropship to one country using a single Vida XL account. Essentially, dropshipping in another country requires an entirely new account. As a result, we would have to set up multiple accounts if we're looking to dropship across Europe. Another disadvantage of using Vida XL as a supplier is that they charge a dropshipping fee of 30 euros per month. Coming through at number nine on our list is Printful. So Printful is a popular print-on-demand dropshipping supplier. Printful allows easy designing and selling print-on-demand products while also providing branding, warehousing and performance services. Printful offers high quality products in comparison to other print-on-demand suppliers. Not only that, how cool is this? So Printful actually has an advanced mock-up generator which allows us to see what our final product will look like. It also allows us to generate photos for us to use in our dropshipping stores. Printful's customization options allow us to build a solid and memorable brand by offering customized packaging and branded pack-ins for each product. Not only that, Printful integrates with 20-plus selling platforms, enabling dropshippers to broaden their European market reach. Some of Printful's most notable supported platforms include Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Equad and BigCommerce. Printful also has a couple of drawbacks. First one being limited product selection that only includes apparel, accessories and homeware products. Their second drawback being high-cost products in comparison to other print-on-demand suppliers. So we've heard about the supplier Printful. Now it's time to hear about the supplier, Printify, coming in at number 10 on our top dropshipping suppliers list. So Printify is an emerging platform that provides access to vendor networks of print-on-demand suppliers from around the world. While many print-on-demand suppliers are limited to t-shirts and hoodies, Printify has way many options for you to choose from. Its product range includes sneakers, sandals, boots, fleeces, tank tops, skirts, leggings and swimsuits. Printify also offers print-on-demand non-clothing items. This includes handbags, backpacks, phone cases, mugs, blankets and even cookies. Also, there's no need to worry if you're just starting out with print-on-demand dropshipping. Printify allows us to test the waters with a free startup plan. We can then join Printify's subscription plan if we find the program worthwhile. However, the downside of Printify is the quality of Printify products that is inconsistent due to the multiple different vendors that are being used. Another downside is a limited number of selling channel integrations. With only seven supported selling channels, Printify definitely lags behind their competitors. In the eleventh position, we have Big Buy. Big Buy is a genuine European dropshipping and wholesale supplier. They offer a wide range of products in niche's life, home and garden, beauty and health, sports, fashion, toys and electronics. So Big Buy is a famous dropshipping European supplier due to its extensive catalog of competitively priced products. In addition to this, the company also specializes in dropshipping services. They also have separate programs and guides for dropshipping on major marketplaces and e-commerce platforms. Big Buy works with reliable shipping carriers and as a result, shipping is available all over Europe at an affordable price. They also provide tracking updates as soon as the product is shipped out. Working with Big Buy does have its drawbacks and the first one being that the wholesaler does not have a favorable return policy. Hence, it does not accept refunds or returns unless the product is damaged. As such, the return costs for undamaged products comes out of our own pockets. Another drawback is that Big Buy forces us to deal with high competition, with many business sourcing the same Big Buy products, we must work harder to distinguish ourselves and convert sales. So next up on our list is Brands Gateway, a fashion marketplace that connects fashion designers and vendors. With this supplier, we can source luxury goods at wholesale prices and dropship them all over Europe. More than 90,000 designer products from reputable and well-known luxury brands are all available on Brands Gateway Marketplace. Also, the products are unique and not available everywhere. Dropshipping a unique product allows us to increase our profit margins as customers are willing to pay more for something that is rare. Brands Gateway has warehouses located in Sweden, Germany, Italy and many other countries, hence why they are able to offer fast shipping times across Europe. The main drawback of Brands Gateway is that it requires a high minimum order fee of a thousand euros. In the same way, its dropshipping fee is considerably more expensive than that of other European dropshipping suppliers. BTS Wholesaler takes the 13th position on our European dropshipping suppliers list. So BTS Wholesaler is a dropshipping and wholesale company that provides products for beauty and perfumery businesses. With over 17,000 products from 600 established brands, BTS Wholesaler is one of the leading dropshipping suppliers in Europe. Aside from offering products from reputable suppliers, it also offers private label services. When we finally dropship these products, we can package these products under our own custom design brand and packaging. On the downside, BTS Wholesaler has very few marketplace integrations. It lacks integrations with mainstream platforms such as WooCommerce or BigCommerce. 14th on our list, we have Graffiti, an Italian wholesale fashion brand with a wide range of designer clothing, fashion bags and shoes. Graffiti sells branded fashion products for both males and females and it works with 300 reputable and unique brands for wholesale prices. Graffiti has warehouses located all over Europe, enabling us to ship these excellent products out at swift shipping times anywhere on the continent. They also offer a 15 day startup plan that allows dropshippers to experience the platform before committing further. The only disadvantage about Graffiti is that they charge a periodic subscription fee for its more advanced dropshipping plans. And last but not least, we have Brands Distribution, an innovative fashion leader in B2B wholesale branded clothing. The company has more than 10 years of experience in fashion, excellent service and strong logistics infrastructure. All these qualities support the company's reputation as a top European dropshipping supplier. Brands Distribution works with 120 original brands in order to offer many designer clothing items. They also provide image and video shooting services for marketing campaigns. Brands Distribution's user-friendly approach enables us to manage all our orders and our selling channels on one single dashboard. However, with all these benefits, there's likely to be a catch. Brands Distribution only works with a handful of selling platforms. The other disadvantage of using this supplier is their high dropshipping fees, which is way more expensive than other dropshipping suppliers out there. And we have successfully reached the end of our top European dropshipping suppliers list. Now, I know your next question might be, should we be working with multiple suppliers? Well, by working with multiple suppliers, we gain access to a broader selection of products. Also, it does not hurt to have a backup supplier in place if your main supplier is experiencing delays or issues. Just remember that working with multiple suppliers has challenges of its own. One of the challenges could be having difficulty tracking stock and price changes from multiple suppliers. Not only that, it is also difficult to process and fulfill orders from various suppliers. However, we from Autodesk are here to help you to keep everything in one place and present you with the opportunity to work with multiple suppliers efficiently. Autodesk monitors price and stock fluctuations in real time. We also process orders automatically from any of the supported European suppliers on its platform. And as a result, we can work with multiple European suppliers without constantly monitoring each individual one. And there we have it, you guys. You should be set to start up your own online dropshipping business in Europe. I hope this video helped and if you enjoyed it, don't forget to give it a thumbs up.
