What Is Drop shipping and How It Works for Furniture Retailers

What Is Furniture Drop shipping?

Drop shipping is a retail model where you sell products online without needing to stock or ship them yourself. Instead, when a customer places an order, your wholesale supplier ships the product directly to your customer.

For retailers in Ireland and Northern Ireland, this means you can run a furniture business online with no storage costs, no packaging, and low risk.

How Does Furniture Drop Shipping Work?

Here’s how it works when you dropship furniture with GIE:

1. You list the products (e.g. beds, sofas, mirrors) on your website or online marketplace.
2. A customer places an order.
3. You forward the order to us.
4. We ship the furniture directly to your customer.
5. You keep the profit between your retail price and our wholesale price.

Benefits of Drop shipping Furniture in Ireland

Drop shipping isn’t new — but it’s booming in the furniture and home interiors space. Here’s why more retailers are choosing this model:

1. No Upfront Stock Costs

You don’t have to buy large quantities. Sell what you want, when you want.

2. No Storage or Warehousing

We hold the stock — you focus on selling.

3. Quick Setup for Ecommerce

Start a furniture business with Shopify, WooCommerce, or even Instagram — with no logistics headaches.

4. Sell a Wider Range

Offer hundreds of products (beds, mattresses, garden furniture, leather sofas, etc.) without holding a single item.

5. Ideal for Small Businesses & Side Hustles

Low-risk and flexible — perfect for ecommerce beginners or interior design brands testing new lines.
