Droshi began in 2015, when our founder got the idea from an American friend in Spain, where he lived in 2013. After having lost money on an online store, simply because his purchased inventory did not sell, he founded Scandinavian Dropshipping AB. When his American friend heard about his lost sales, his reaction was to laugh since, in the United States, more than 90% of all online stores use this particular concept. The Americans found an effective solution and see the traditional model as being inadequate. When our founder returned to Sweden in 2014, he started a new business. He imported breathalysers, vending machines, and more from a Spanish supplier. The idea for Droshi was to find a drop shipping portal in Scandinavia through which the supplier’s products could be channelled. Surprisingly, there were no drop shipping solutions available in northern Europe; people were not familiar with the concept. In fact, 9 out of 10 suppliers contacted by our CEO had not heard about drop shipping and certainly did not have a system for it. That’s when our CEO decided to set up Droshi. So you don´t have to make the same mistakes he did.
The mission is to make it easier for suppliers and retailers to find each other and sell more, and build the best system in the world to do this!
Some letters and parcels cannot be delivered directly to the customer’s address and must be collected at a service point. In such cases, customer’s will receive a notification from the delivery company advising them where to collect the product(s). Please note that the sender on the notification is not Droshi. Instead, your shop appears as the sender. The notification may be sent as e-mail, sms, or postal mail. Make sure to provide a telephone number to your customer.
Droshi does not keep any stock. Goods are always sent directly from each supplier’s own warehouse. Orders including products from different suppliers will be delivered in different parcels and at different times. For goods classified as heavy and/or bulky, you will be contacted within 5 business days of order confirmation to agree on a day for delivery, which will take place no later than 5 days thereafter. Products may be out-of-stock, in which case you will be notified within 24 hours.
Charges are made to your card immediately after you complete the purchase.
We accept credit card payments using VISA, MasterCard or American Express through Dibs and Paypal.
Yes! All payment methods and privacy details are encrypted and managed under the highest security and safety standards. When placing an order with us, you will provide personal information including your name, address, contact details, national identification number (if applicable) or company registration number. In doing so, you accept that we save and use the information in fulfilling our obligations to you. We also record certain communications with you to provide the best service possible when handling and following up on orders.
Freight costs will always be included in the suppliers’ prices unless otherwise stated. We only offer one price. You decide if you will charge freight to your customer or not. To improve your profit margins, we recommend you charge a freight cost of 5 Euro for orders between 50-100 Euro.
Droshi only operates under a business-to-business (b2b) model; thus, all prices exclude VAT.
No. Products are only sold through the droshi.com portal. All orders are only handled through our automated system.
Once you complete a purchase, it is no longer possible to make changes or additions. Instead, the order must be withdrawn as soon as possible. If the withdrawal is made after the supplier shipped the product(s), then the retailer will need to cover freight costs, including the costs to return the product(s) to the supplier.
If you have Shopify or Woocommerce it is automatic. You just need to make the payment of the order. If you have another e-commerce platform you log in to your admin account and place orders for the products you have sold manually and place the payment. This information will then be transmitted to the relevant supplier(s) via our system.
No, but we are connected to Shopify where you can easily set up a store yourself. If you would need help with building your store, please reach out to our partners.

Yes, we follow the European Union’s directive regarding GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). You can read more about this in our data protection policy.

We have high expectations for our suppliers. Each supplier in the premium category has been thoroughly reviewed and tested against our standards before being accepted. Delivery time is shown for each individual product and is normally 3-5 days for the EU suppliers unless stated otherwise. Review of suppliers is a continuous process and we always put more emphasis on quality than quantity. It is critical to us that our retailers are comfortable with their suppliers. We do not accept just anyone!
In traditional retail business, you need to buy in bulk. However, bulk purchasing becomes annoyingly expensive, especially if the goods can’t be moved quickly enough or, even worse, they don’t sell. With drop shipping, you can buy as little as one product unit at a time.
You only buy the goods after you have sold them. Your money won’t be tied up in inventory, so you can essentially ”stock” an endless number of products in your shop.
We already have thousands of products on our portal. Products are neatly organized under different categories, so just scroll through and make your selections. Terms and conditions have already been negotiated with the suppliers, including prices and logistics. You will find all of your suppliers in on place. It’s that easy.
You do not need to pack and ship the products yourself. You won”t have any employee costs either.
Keeping products in stock is expensive. With drop shipping, your suppliers keep the stock and ship the goods straight to your customers. This approach frees up time for you to focus on marketing and development. You can even process your orders while you’re on vaction. Really, it’s that easy. Just sit back, relax, and let someone else take care of the hassle of packing and shipping.
Drop shipping makes it incredibly easy and fast to start a retailer business.
Do you lack sufficient funds to market your product? Are you concerned with how well your online store will be received? Drop shipping involves little to no risk. In the event your webshop does not perform as expected, you will not be left with unsold goods and products. Invest in marketing activities instead of inventory.
1. You have a webshop where you put up the supplier’s products
2. You earn the difference between wholesale price and selling price.
3. Promote your online store.
4. Customers buy products from your website and you send an order to us at Droshi, which is linked directly to the supplier.
5. The supplier sends the product to your customers.
6. You pay us when you do your purchase in our portal.
The delivery times varies depending on the supplier and their location. It is always stated per product from where and to where they ship the products and the delivery time for this. Our premium products within EU usually ships within 3-5 days within the EU. In cases of “heavy and/or bulky” goods, the retailer will be contacted within 5 working days after order confirmation, to agree on the delivery date which will occur no later than five days thereafter. There are no deliveries on weekends and public holidays.
No. The shipping company will issue the products to you 8-17. If you are not at home to receive the package, they will be delivered to the nearest delivery point or sent back to the warehouse. Then, you may place an order for a new delivery.
Although we always aim at timely deliveries, delays may occur. If this happens, Droshi and its affiliates will do their outmost to resolve the issue as quickly and smoothly as possible. Should goods not be received within promised time, your customer has the right to invalidate the purchase order according to applicable consumer right laws. In these cases, the retailer also has the right to invalidate the order. Droshi will handle the invalidations within reasonable time.
In cases of discontinued products, a return must be processed. We will credit your account within 10 working days. Should the product be temporarily out of stock, we recommend you ask your customer to wait until the product is back in stock. If this request is rejected, we will process a return immediately upon request.
You and the supplier will be responsible if goods are not delivered to the customer. It is your risk and responsibility to choose suppliers based on their ratings. Should you require 100% delivery surety, it may be best to place bulk orders with us and to keep your own inventory.
The mode of delivery is at the supplier’s discretion. However, they typically choose the most cost-effective way to ensure the best possible profit margins for the retailers. Typically, goods will be delivered by parcel post or registered mail. There may be situations in which the customer can choose mode of delivery. In such cases, it will be clearly stated by the supplier. The customer will always receive a notice of delivery via e-mail, sms, or letter, in which the webshop is referred to as the sender. The supplier is responsible for the goods until the customer receives them.
Yes, you can always make changes in your shopping cart prior to completing your purchase.
All suppliers go through a test-phase and a review. If there are any problems (timing, packaging, etc.) in their delivery services, you will be able to see this in their rating. We keep suppliers as long as their rating stays over 20% (1 star). However suppliers with low ratings are unlikely to sell much and are likely to opt out and leave. Suppliers’ whose rating drops below 20% will be automatically deleted. We are strongly committed to only working with credible businesses. We value quality above quantity.
Suppliers assign certain stock volumes to us or, alternatively, connect their stock records to our systems through an api. However this is drop shipping and products can get sold out, and systems fail. In the event, the stock has run out or if the supplier does not keep stock levels up-to-date in our system via api, this will impact their rating. In the unlikely event of a temporary system crash, we will take the system out of service and it will not be possible to order products from this particular supplier. All products will show “out-of-stock” until we solve the issue with the supplier.
There can be a range of reasons that a supplier does not perform as expected. However, this is a critical issue that will impact their rating. Logistic companies can also be delayed at times.
We rate the quality of all our suppliers and track their performance from delivery time, stock update, customer handling, claims etc. Our aim is to provide you with comfort and peace of mind and we want to ensure that you are satisfied with what we offer. We have a 1-5 star rating of our suppliers and a percentage rating that corresponds to the supplier’s delivery precision. The most important quality is its delivery success rate.
Our premium suppliers come from European drop shipping suppliers within the EU. We can proudly say we have the biggest assortment in the world of European drop shipping suppliers. In the Free package, you will find suppliers mostly from Asia selling worldwide. We will very shortly also have an Aliexpress integration where you can source your products from.
Yes, you can! If you do not find what you are looking for with us but want to use our system to automate your drop shipping process you can bring your own suppliers to us. We will make sure their products get up in our system and also do the integration to them for stock levels.
No, you cannot. When you buy a subscription, it is unique to your company and organization number, which ensures that you do not sell our subscription to other companies.
HUGE! It is one of the biggest and fastest growing markets out there. Two of the worlds biggest and most valuable companies in the world are in e-commerce, Alibaba group and Amazon.
The Free account is open to everyone who wants to view our catalogue and system. You will need a valid VAT number to place orders as we only sell B2B. All products from which is available in the Free package is without a subscription cost and mostly comes from Asia.
Our suppliers demand guaranteed payments. The way to do that is for the retailers to pay with card or PayPal first. You are free to set your own payment policies to your customers.
Absolutely. You may want to have more knowledge about the products before you start selling them to your own customers, so you may purchase products for your own use or for display purposes.
Yes. A supplier always has the right to decide whom to sell to and can prevent some suppliers from selling certain products. Consider the example of a supplier of high-end hair products. Suppliers often decide to sell to accredited hairdressers only and not to supermarkets. The same selectivity applies in the webshop industry, as some suppliers may not want their products to be sold in a webshop selling “adult-products” or in a “2$-shop.” When a retailer is interested in selling these locked products, we will contact the supplier and let them review the retailer’s webpage. Based on their specific requirements, they may then grant you approval to sell their products. Should you not yet have a webpage, a written presentation of your webshop may serve as a basis for the supplier’s review.
It is an open market. All retailers can buy any product from any supplier. Your success really depends on your ability to market your business well and to have the best possible business model. We provide the tools and you decide how to build your business.
Yes, as long as agreements are followed and you have a valid VAT number. However, we reserve the right to reject unsuitable customers. We value quality above quantity.
We have two types of export. Product export and stock export. Our export function of products is adjusted to suit Shopify and Woocommerce who we are integrated to. This comes out in CSV. You can use this to import to other e-commerce platforms but some adjustments might be needed. The stock export is only for the platforms which we are not integrated to. With Shopify & Woocommerce you have an automatic stock update.
Depends on your settings with Shopify. You can either set it automatically or do it manually per order.
Yes. Fortunately, others have paved the way and tested this concept from the customer’s point-of-view. For example, Cdon, the biggest e-commerce market place in Scandinavia, uses drop shipping, as do Amazon, Aliexpress and Ebay – the worlds largest e-commerce companies. They all perform very well and drop shipping is a proven concept with successful results all over the world.
No. The customer can wait until all parcels have arrived at the service point.
All products will be shipped from each individual supplier’s warehouse. An order containing different products will originate from different warehouses using different delivery notices.
A bulk order is for a large quantity of a product. Typically, you will place a bulk order if you prefer to stock the product yourself. We have negotiated very attractive agreements with our suppliers, ensuring you receive the best prices. Trading with us means offers the benefit of having all of your suppliers in one spot. Simply choose the products you want to order in bulk and let us know the quantities need; then, we give you a quote. You will receive one invoice covering all your purchases, regardless of whether the products come from one or several suppliers.
You will find our product catalogue if you sign up for a free account. We add thousands of products each month.
It depends on the supplier’s manufacturing costs, the importer, the agent etc. Clothes generally have very high margins, but are also likely to have a high rate of returns.
We only work b2b so all prices exclude VAT which is a tax registration number for companies.
Products sold at Droshi all come with a warranty as well as rejection rights according the Consumer Sales Act. Any exemptions from normal rejection rights are stated in the product information, (e.g., products sold on an “as-seen” basis).
If your customer receives a product that differs from its product specifications, if the product is defect in any way, is not in proper working condition, you have the right to reject and return the product to Droshi, free of charge. Always contact Droshi prior to returning a product and always send returns via registered mail to avoid losing track of the product.
According to the Distance and Doorstep Sales Act, a consumer always has 14 days to cancel a transaction. Should a customer regret a purchase, he or she has the right to return the goods to you within 14 days and get their money back. They don’t need to give any reason as to why they are returning the goods. Rejection is when a customer has received a product that differs from its product specification, the product is defect in some way, or is not in proper working condition. You have the right to reject and return products to Droshi, free of charge.
The supplier is responsible for any manufacturing faults and rejections. Contact Droshi and we will handle the case.
Returns really depend on the product and the category. For example, clothes and shoes have higher return rates (as much as 20-30%), while nutrition supplements and electronic products are lower (2-3%). The return rate also depends on your own return policies.
Suppliers can have thousands of retailers connected to them. For example, if 1,000 retailers had one return each, then this would add up 1,000 returns for a supplier to manage. We think this is unreasonable as opposed to each retailer managing the one return.
You will need to treat returned products as your own stock, so it’s up to you how you handle returned goods. You can restock them and deliver them to the next customer who orders that product; you may also consider putting them on sale and clear them as soon as possible.
The webshops are always responsible for returns from the end-user unless the supplier states otherwise. Very few suppliers handles returns. Goods will be returned to you based on your return policy.
You need to report transport-damaged goods to Droshi and the delivery company as soon as you receive the item(s). It is important to immediately unpack and inspect the goods carefully, as some transport damage may not be obvious otherwise. Please note that you may not use the damaged product and you must keep the packing material for inspection purposes when reporting the damage. Depending on the severity of the damage, the product may be replaced or you may be reimbursed for the money paid.
