Dropshipping: a large inventory without a warehouse

If you have a webshop or store but do not have enough space to keep (many) products in stock, dropshipping is the ideal solution for you! As a Van der Meer customer, you can have orders shipped directly to your customers through dropshipping. Even if you do not have a webshop or store yet, there are plenty of opportunities available.

What does dropshipping involve?

With dropshipping, your customer places an order in your webshop or store. You can then submit this order to our wholesale business either through an order integration or by entering it manually. We process the order and ship it directly to your customer in a plain box without any promotional material. No packing slip is included in the package, and we do not send any digital information to your customer. The shipping label displays your company name and our address. This ensures that the package is automatically returned to us if it cannot be delivered to the recipient.

Important: Medicines are sold only sold in the warehouse and for your own use only. They cannot be shipped directly to consumers. In addition, sales restrictions apply to certain brands: Yarrah, Smølke, Natural Greatness and Trixie may not be offered on online marketplaces, and KONG products may not be sold on Amazon. Always check local regulations and any applicable brand guidelines before offering products for sale.

How do I have an order delivered via dropshipping?

Once you have placed an order in our webshop, select ‘bezorgen’ instead of ‘afhalen’. Then click ‘verzend’ and select ‘Order laten verzenden naar uw klant (dropshipping)’. You can then choose which shop details you want to use. For dropshipping orders within the Netherlands, orders placed before 6:00 PM on working days will be delivered the next day. Pallet orders are an exception: these must be placed before 11:00 AM for delivery the following workday. We do not differentiate between shipping costs for your own orders and dropshipping orders. Below you will find an overview of all shipping rates per carrier.

Shipping costs

The cost of shipping a package is broken down into shipping costs and fulfillment costs. Shipping costs are the actual costs of sending the package, while fulfillment costs include the costs of picking the order, packing it, and the packaging materials.
