Yes - Although our directory was primarily developed for those either already in or wishing to start their own trading business, many suppliers listed on our database are happy to deal and sell directly to consumers that are simply looking for quality bargains and products for their own use. We recommend that you check with each supplier who they are willing to trade with. Another point to note is that some wholesalers will only deal with registered companies and in such cases they ask for specific legal information such as company registration documents.

The purpose of our directories is to help you locate some of the best deals in France - by providing a list of suppliers where you can buy products at substantially lower prices than retail. A number of products are even sold at up to 90% off the normal high street price. In many cases, our listed suppliers offer products that are brand-new. In other cases, they specialise in clearance goods, ex-rental stock, catalogue returns, discontinued models, etc. - and the market for these types of products is very attractive.

It is important to note that we do not claim to offer you the 'cheapest' prices around - as prices fluctuate on a daily basis it would be impossible to make this kind of proposition. The prices listed on our website are merely indicative and relate to a sample of products that a number of suppliers have sold in the past. However, the market is immense, there are thousands of suppliers in France for a wide variety of products, and unit prices will always fluctuate depending on market conditions and customer demand.

What we can say is that, based on our own research, our nationwide French Wholesaler lists are current and offer you some of the best deals around. Sourcing quality suppliers is not easy - it takes, time, money and effort to get the right contacts. We have done the hard work for you - by compiling over thousands of French wholesale sources into a single easy-to-use website. We have visited several trade exhibitions, markets, fairs, and have researched several trade journals to bring these contacts to you. Its now time for yout o benefit from our efforts.

It would be impossible for us to keep track of every suppliers stock and price list - especially in markets that are volatile. Our service provides the suppliers contact details - with reference to the types of products they sell. Although within our members area a wholesale products directory is available, where suppliers can list their products and price lists and also our data entry staff tries to extract offers from various wholesalers and present them to you, hwoever our main focus is always to bring most recent and fresh wholesale suppliers contact details to our members and this is our expertise which differentiates us from our competition.

Partly what we ask from you or in other words your role is to contact the suppliers directly to enquire about stock and prices when you need them. What we can say with confidence is that suppliers listed on our database not only offer great discounted prices but they also pride themselves on offering great customer service too.

[Top]

Most of the listed sources on our database do not have any specific limits on level of minimum order - therefore it makes it easy for those that are simply wishing to use our directory to source single-item bargains or low-volume stock for their own use.

However, as our directory was primarily developed as a business information resource, some of the listed suppliers do have restrictions and deal directly with the trade customer only. Nonetheless, many of these sources have very low minimum orders levels or price limits for trade supplies - from as little as 3-4 items and around $50 to $200. In such cases we recommend incorporating your own company.

[Top]

There are a number of France based sources listed within our directories. The types of suppliers listed include: Wholesalers, Distributors, Ex-Catalogue Stockists, Ex-Rental Stockists, Clearance Houses, Liquidators, Surplus Suppliers, Dropshippers and more.

In response to customer demand, we have extended the scope of the directory to include UK and US based suppliers - from which our members can source and import new and innovative products as they become available to the market. We currently have over 5000 American suppliers listed in our USA wholesalers directory and over 10,000 UK wholesalers listed in our UK wholesale directory.

So - in all - France Wholesalers is a great place to start to find quality contacts - whether you're looking to source products solely within the France or looking to import new products as they become available in the market from across europe or rest of the world.

Whilst we offer one of the largest directory of French wholesale and trade sources on the net, we cannot confirm which suppliers specifically offer dropshipping - but we do encourage our advertisers to offer such a service. In fact recently we have seen more and more companies wishing to offer dropshipping services.

We plan to launch a separate directory of French and US dropshippers for our members, where they would be able to access various dropshippers contact and web details. Updates to our dropshippers directory will be made on a regular basis and new dropshippers will be included in the directory as and when they become available.

[Top]

It should be noted that France Wholesalers is not in any way associated or affiliated with any of the suppliers listed on the members database. Contact details given for each supplier have been compiled through our own research, in co-operation with trade magazines, external sources and direct submissions from suppliers who have located our site on the net and use our service to advertise their business.

Although anybody could use France Wholesalers to find bargains, our service was especially developed for those who want to develop a totally legitimate, viable and profitable trading business. This business simply involves purchasing Top Quality Branded Products at rock bottom prices - and reselling them for clear profits. In fact, thousands of people all over France are amassing solid & steady incomes by trading products such as those offered by suppliers listed in our wholesale directory.

A trading business - i.e. selling quality consumer goods for profit - is a particularly attractive business opportunity for a number of good reasons:

You run it at your own pace ... The business can be run on a part-time or full-time basis - simply build & grow it at your own pace. It can easily be run from home to bring in extra cash - or you could establish it as a full-time business venture that brings in your main income. The choice is yours.

No prior business experience or qualifications required ... France Wholesalers provides you with all the sources and contact details of wholesalers you require to get going.

Very Low Startup Costs ... You don't need huge amounts of capital to get started. Your starting budget can be as little as $40 to $50 - and by reinvesting your profits you can quite rapidly develop your weekly revenue to reach many hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars quite easily.

High Profit Potential ... The products you will be dealing with are the same as those you'll find in High Street Stores. The key difference is that you'll only be buying them at a fraction of the retail price! This means you can easily resell them by undercutting high street stores

Top Brand Products ... Many of the products sold by suppliers listed within our directory are top quality, well known brands that everyone has heard of - e.g. Sony, Panasonic, Hugo Boss, Raleigh, IBM, Hotpoint, Hoover, Phillips, Nike .. to name just a few. Once again, being familiar 'household names' , this makes your selling them so much easier.

High Customer Demand ... Many of the best deals involve buying ex-rental, ex-catalogue or liquidation stock, or products that are close to being discontinued. However, all goods are still in good working order as new and, being top quality brand-name merchandise, the fact is that they still attract very high customer demand.

You've got nothing to lose! ... Even if you find this business is not for you - you can always use the directory to buy the products for your own personal use. The savings you make will easily pay for the purchase of our membership many times over! - (Note: Not all wholesalers deal with individual customers)

No - as a number of listed wholesalers also deal directly with the public.

Quite simply - the type of business outlined within France Wholesalers is a simple trading business that has been done for centuries and involves sourcing top quality, high demand consumer products at a fraction of the retail price - and then reselling them for top level profit margins.

The level of investment you need, to start a trading business will obviously be dependent on what products you choose to trade with, where you source them from, and how many items you decide to buy in your transaction. However there is no specific limit on initial investment. Obviously, the greater the volume you acquire - the greater the discount most suppliers will offer. Its worth noting, that many successful traders have started their business ventures by stocking only 2-3 products at a time!
