Hi to all.
I am sorry if i have posted in the wrong board (or even the wrong forum), but i wasn't sure where to post.

I am starting up my own on-line retail business and wondered if any established retailers would be willing to give me advice on a couple of matters.

1. Are any retailers able to offer me the option of 'Dropshipping / Direct Despatch', (i.e i sell your products on my website, then pay you - you deliver to customer)?

2. If '1' is not an option, can you give me the opportunity to buy 1 or two items as required on 'wholesale' type terms?

*I would NOT be looking to stock your full ranges, just a few selected items.

3. Is there a dedicated UK 'Merchant' Forum? (i.e like this affiliate forum - but for merchants)

I am looking for most categories to stock/sell, Lingerie, Ladieswear, Menswear, childrens clothing, shoes, electrical, jewellery etc.

UK MERCHANTS ONLY PLEASE

**I already have a supplier for Playtex/Wonderbra ranges so this category of my website is ok


NOTE: To reduce the risk of me being scammed, (especially points 1 and 2) I would like any merchants to send me a private message here with details of what they can offer, and please provide me with your trading name (eg 'joe-bloggs-carpets.com), a contact name and a reference number so i can reply to you through your official (retail) website's contact form.
I am taking this measure, so i can be 99% sure im not being ripped off on a phishing website or simular scam. (Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh)

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
