They specialize in products like bird feeders, garden accessories, watering cans, and similar lifestyle items. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/collections/best-selling-collection?utm_source=openai))  \n- Their *Best Selling* page shows around 99 products currently, with prices generally ranging from low single digits to tens of pounds. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/collections/best-selling-collection?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Location & Contact Details\n\n- **Company address**: The Incuba, LU6 1AA, Dunstable, United Kingdom. ([ca.trustpilot.com](https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/store.etr.ee?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Contact email**: info@etr.ee ([ca.trustpilot.com](https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/store.etr.ee?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Phone number**: 01582 235 148 ([ca.trustpilot.com](https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/store.etr.ee?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Shipping & Returns\n\n- Etree offers free standard delivery on orders over \u00a36. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/collections/best-selling-collection?utm_source=openai))  \n- They provide free returns within 30 days. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/collections/best-selling-collection?utm_source=openai))  \n- Orders placed by **3pm (UK time)** are dispatched *same day*. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/collections/best-selling-collection?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Reviews & Trustworthiness\n\n- On Trustpilot, *store.etr.ee* has a TrustScore of **4.7 out of 5**, based on 38 reviews. Most customers seem satisfied, often mentioning fast service and quality products. ([ca.trustpilot.com](https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/store.etr.ee?utm_source=openai))  \n- One review from **Helen** (Feb 3, 2025) says she ordered a bird feeder, found it \u201cfast, efficient service\u201d and an easy-to-clean replacement for an old rusty one. ([ca.trustpilot.com](https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/store.etr.ee?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Things to Note / Caveats\n\n- Some customers did mention small issues, such as sizing or fit problems with certain watering can accessories, but these don\u2019t seem widespread. ([ca.trustpilot.com](https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/store.etr.ee?utm_source=openai))  \n- Always check product descriptions carefully (e.g. size, volume) before buying.  \n- While the reviews are strong, there are fewer than 50; that\u2019s enough to feel confident, but still somewhat limited in volume.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can pull up specific product quality comparisons, international shipping costs, or how Etree stacks up against competitors in gardening/home goods \u2014 would that be helpful?"

        "content": "Yes \u2014 store.etr.ee **does** work with UK dropshippers. I found clear info on their site confirming they have a UK-based dropshipping program. Here\u2019s a summary of what I discovered and some key details to check if you decide to work with them.\n\n---\n\n## What I Learned: Etree\u2019s Dropshipping Program\n\nFrom their \u201cDropship with Etree Productions Limited\u201d page:\n\n- Etree is a **UK-based garden products manufacturer and supplier** located in Bedfordshire. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n- They offer **dropship prices**. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n- **UK mainland standard delivery** is free; there's an option for next-day delivery for a small extra fee. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n- Orders are handled through **Shopify integration**, meaning orders from your store can be sent directly to Etree to fulfill; Etree then takes care of shipping, order tracking, etc. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n- There are **no subscription or upfront fees** (beyond what you'd ordinarily pay for your Shopify store). ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What the Dropshipping Partnership Looks Like\n\n- **Packaging**: Products are \u201cbranded Etree\u201d but shipped in **plain, unbranded packaging**, which means your customer won\u2019t necessarily see a third-party\u2019s branding. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n- **Returns**: They offer free returns, provided that your product descriptions are accurate. They\u2019ll issue a pre-paid return label within two working days and provide one label per order. For proven faults (with photos), they may replace or refund without return at their discretion. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What to Double-Check & Things to Be Aware Of\n\nIf you\u2019re considering working with them as a dropshipper, here are some specifics you\u2019ll want to verify:\n\n- **Minimum order volumes** (if any) \u2014 to see how small you can start.\n- **How fast orders are dispatched** once they are placed through your store (cut-off times, etc.).\n- **Shipping options and costs** beyond UK mainland \u2014 if you plan to serve customers outside that area.\n- **Responsibility for damages/faults** \u2014 what proof is needed, how replacements/refunds work.\n- **Support and integration setup** for your Shopify store.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can pull up their full dropship contract terms or compare their dropshipping costs against similar suppliers. Do you want me to do that?"

([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Dropship prices are provided; free standard delivery within UK mainland. Next-day delivery is available for an extra fee. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Integration with Shopify: Orders, fulfilment, shipping, billing, and tracking are automated. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. **Packaging & Branding**  \n   - Products are branded under Etree but shipped in **plain, unbranded packaging**. Your customers won\u2019t see any third-party labelling. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Returns & Fault Handling**  \n   - Free returns within 30 days *if* product descriptions are accurate. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Pre-paid return label issued within 2 working days; one free return label per order. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))  \n   - For proven faults (with photos), Etree may replace or refund **without requiring a return**, at their discretion. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Dispatch Times**  \n   - Same-day dispatch if orders are placed by 3pm UK time. ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))  \n\n5. **Pricing & Fees**  \n   - No subscription or signup fees (aside from whatever your Shopify fees are). ([store.etr.ee](https://store.etr.ee/pages/dropship?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Prices are provided at \u201cdropship rates.\u201d You should confirm what margin is built in or what your wholesale cost will be.  \n\n6. **Terms of Supply**  \n   - The Conditions of Supply outline that any contract is formed only when Etree *accepts* the order in writing. ([etr.ee](https://etr.ee/policies/conditions-of-supply?utm_source=openai))  \n   - They operate under English law. ([etr.ee](https://etr.ee/policies/conditions-of-supply?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Payment terms: 30 days from the date of their invoice unless otherwise agreed. ([etr.ee](https://etr.ee/policies/conditions-of-supply?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What\u2019s *Not* Clear / What You Should Confirm\n\n- **Minimum Order Volume**: It\u2019s not stated whether there\u2019s a minimum number of units per product per order when using the dropship option.  \n- **Stock Levels / Out-of-Stock Risks**: How they handle popular items\u2014do they sound a lot; do you get alerted if stock is low?  \n- **Outside UK Mainland Shipping**: What happens if you want to sell to customers outside the UK mainland (e.g., Northern Ireland, Scotland Highlands, or overseas)? Any added fees or delays?  \n- **Fault Threshold / Dispute Resolution**: At what level of issue does Etree replace vs. refund? How much \u201cproof\u201d is required beyond photos?  \n- **Liability & Intellectual Property**: The Conditions of Supply include clauses about title, risk, and IP ownership; you\u2019ll want to see those closely to understand who owns what, and where responsibility lies. ([etr.ee](https://etr.ee/policies/conditions-of-supply?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to pull up an example contract document from them (if they publish one) and highlight the clauses you should especially watch (like indemnity, use of IP, termination rights, etc.). Do you want me to dig into that?"

([crawleyhorticulturalsociety.org.uk](https://crawleyhorticulturalsociety.org.uk/resources/Crawley%20Horticultural%20Society%20Price%20List%20May%202021.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- More decorative or metal cans: **\u00a38-\u00a315+** depending on material and finishing.

([faire.com](https://www.faire.com/en-gb/product/p_kkzmbqapcr?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Typical Margins (Wholesale \u2192 Retail)\n\nBased on the numbers above, here are examples of what a reseller or dropshipper might expect in terms of gross margin:\n\n| Product Type | Cost Price | Retail Price | Example Gross Margin |\n|-------------|------------|--------------|-----------------------|\n| Basic 1 L plastic watering can | \u00a31.40 | \u00a33.50-\u00a34.00 | ~60-65% |\n| Mid-size 5-10 L plastic can | \u00a35.31 | \u00a310.99 | ~52% |\n| Metal decorative can (budget-metal) | ~\u00a33-\u00a35 | ~\u00a38-\u00a312 | ~50-65% |\n| Premium design/brand indoor pieces | ~\u00a39-\u00a312 | ~\u00a314.99-\u00a320+ | ~35-45% |\n\n---\n\n## What Margin Does Etree Likely Offer?\n\nWhile I couldn\u2019t find exact figures from Etree, other dropshipping garden product stores in the UK tend to achieve gross profit margins around **25-30%** when selling higher-ticket items. Lower-cost items (like small watering cans) usually allow for higher % margins but smaller absolute profit per unit. ([bizsellers.com](https://bizsellers.com/pages/almost-2yo-uk-ecommerce-store-selling-high-aov-patio-yard-garden-products?utm_source=openai))\n\nGiven Etree\u2019s wholesale/dropship structure (SKU diversity, plain packaging, no upfront fees), you might reasonably expect **gross margins of 40-60%** on simpler plastic items, and **30-50%** on more decorative/metal items, assuming you price similarly to other UK garden retailers.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can model with *actual cost data from Etree* (if available) to project what your margins would be specifically working with them. Do you want me to try getting Etree-specific cost data?"
