        "content": "I couldn\u2019t find anything public that confirms Amos Mann Furniture currently offers an automated feed or API specifically for sharing product images and stock levels with trade drop-shippers. What *is* clear, though, is how their trade/dropship service works in general, and what gaps exist around product image & stock sharing.  \n\nHere\u2019s what the evidence shows, and what you\u2019d need to do if you want to share images/stock with Amos Mann as a dropshipper.  \n\n---\n\n## What we *do* know about Amos Mann\u2019s drop-ship/trade program\n\n- Amos Mann is a **trade-only** furniture wholesaler in the UK; retailers who want to dropship must register and have a trade account. ([amosmannfurniture.co.uk](https://www.amosmannfurniture.co.uk/index.asp?utm_source=openai))  \n- They offer **drop-ship service**: if you\u2019re a trade account holder, Amos Mann will deliver items ordered under your brand straight to your customers, whether smaller items (2-3 days) or larger ones (7-10 working days) depending on size. ([amosmannfurniture.co.uk](https://www.amosmannfurniture.co.uk/drop-ship-service-3-w.asp?utm_source=openai))  \n- They hold UK-based stock, which means shorter fulfillment times and fewer delays than overseas suppliers/imports. ([amosmannfurniture.co.uk](https://www.amosmannfurniture.co.uk/index.asp?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What *isn\u2019t* clear (from public info) / what\u2019s likely *not* offered (yet)\n\n- No mention in their websites of a **product-image/media \u201clibrary\u201d** or high-resolution image bank available for trade users. Neither do they advertise an online portal where trade partners can download images, or use API/product feeds of images or stock.  \n- No evidence of an integrated or automated **stock feed**, API, or CSV for live stock quantities or images.  \n- They require trade account registration, and accept only retailers selling on **their own websites** \u2014 explicitly disallowing drop-ship accounts for Amazon or eBay sellers. ([amosmannfurniture.co.uk](https://www.amosmannfurniture.co.uk/how-we-work-1-w.asp?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How most wholesalers *do* image & stock sharing with trade drop shippers (which Amos Mann *could* follow)\n\nTo understand what Amos Mann *might* be doing (or could do), here are common methods used in the furniture trade for image/stock sharing:\n\n1. **Trade portal or dashboard**  \n   Trade partners log in to a portal where they can view product lists, pricing, stock levels, high-res photos, dimensions, etc.  \n\n2. **Downloadable product data feeds / CSV feeds**  \n   Suppliers export bulk product data including images, specs, description, and stock status in flat files. Retailers import these into their own sites or inventory systems.  \n\n3. **API integration**  \n   Real-time or near-real-time endpoints that return stock, images, pricing, and other metadata. This gets updated often to avoid overselling etc.  \n\n4. **Image banks / digital asset libraries**  \n   Typically for marketing collateral: high resolution images, lifestyle photos, product renders, spec sheets.  \n\n5. **Manual sharing on request**  \n   If there is no system, trade users request specific images or product details manually from sales reps.  \n\n---\n\n## What *you would need* to clarify or ask Amos Mann if you want images & stock\n\nGiven what\u2019s publicly known, if you want Amos Mann to share product images and stock levels for your dropship listings, you should ask them:\n\n- Do you have a trade portal/dashboard where we can log in and download product images (high resolution), dimensions, descriptions, etc.?\n- Is there a downloadable product data feed (CSV/XML) with up-to-date stock levels and images?\n- Do you support API access for product/catalog sync, or third-party platform integrations?\n- What are your policies around rights to use images (specifically, what usage is allowed\u2014website listing, social media, etc.)?\n- How frequently is inventory/stock updated for dropship items to avoid overselling?\n\n---\n\n## Summary\n\n- Amos Mann does provide a **drop-ship service** with UK stock and trade-only terms. ([amosmannfurniture.co.uk](https://www.amosmannfurniture.co.uk/drop-ship-service-3-w.asp?utm_source=openai))  \n- But from what\u2019s publicly documented, they do *not* clearly offer a **media library** or **live feed/API** for images and stock to trade dropshippers.  \n- If you are a trade account holder, your best bet is to contact their trade team to see what product data they can share (images, stock, descriptions) and whether any automated feed or portal is available for your use.  \n\nIf you want, I can try to dig up more detailed/tailored contact info or internal documentation (for trade users) to see if there *is* something behind the scenes that isn\u2019t publicly listed. Would you like me to do that?"
