What is Dropshipment?
Dropshipping is our way of expanding the assortment of both retailers and publishers. With our automated solution you can easily expand your product range, without having to keep own stock. For physical retailers it gives you the ability to not have to sell a “no” to a customer, but rather deliver it from us straight to their door.
We take care of the entire chain of stock, logistics and shipping, allowing you to focus on marketing, sales and customer service.
Through dropshipment you can easily establish new industries and start selling without much risk. If you would like to expand your business with new products, or simply would like your full logistics to run through Meeples. We offer the solution that fits you best!
Benefits for a retailer
There are many benefits to dropshipping board games. One of the benefits is that you do not have to keep a lot of products in stock since we have opened up our full assortment for Dropshipment. This means that you can sell more than 3,000 different board games, from old to new, without having to stock them yourself.
Another benefit is that Meeples has automated the whole dropshipping process. This way, you have a 24/7 accurate inventory and an automatic order process with our system.
In the Netherlands and Belgium, we have a transit time of 2 days from order input to order delivery. For the rest of the European Union, we will always deliver within a week from Thursdays.
Let Meeples be your starting point for beginning an online webshop in the board game industry!

Benefits for a Publisher
For our publishers, there are two big reasons to use our dropshipping services as well as our dropshipping network.
We have publishers that dropship inserts and sleeves alongside their assortment. This way, they can make a bit more money using cross-selling without having the risk of stocking it. Pretty much anything is possible, and it is automated as well.
The second reason why many publishers choose us is the fact that we have a broad range of dropshippers. Sometimes, products don’t work as well as anticipated at the start. Use our dropshippers to re-promote your board games or to clear out your inventory whenever they are not selling as they should.
