Faire Wholesale 12+

We’ve been using Faire for a couple of years now. Really appreciate the wide range of quality brands and the fair payment conditions. Perfect for trying out new wholesalers as the minimum order for most is quite low.

As a small business owner I am always looking for new channels, options, products.

The overall app, service layer is pretty decent in all honesty and they provide a decent gateway to sellers you may not find otherwise.

From my recent experience and doing a lot of research most sellers have over inflated RRPs and products are often just below the market price. By the time you add on postage, a need to commit to minimum orders (which aren’t always possible as I often find I only want one thing from a seller), other costs like import tax etc, or sales tax, you will be very lucky to make money on a lot of these products.

My advice. Really do your research, which is sad as busy people we often want a service to enable us to make an informed choice versus adding even more time on to our schedules. So as a wholesale channel I am far from convinced.

We have bought a few things now and have often come to the conclusion that we will build our own versions or go direct and cut out Faire.

Company I bought from basically scammed me out of £300. Literally nothing I can do about this. I would strongly recommend people avoid using this app or associating with any stores on this app. I requested an order be resent that I didn’t receive, a week later I’ve now been charged for that order because it was claimed I’d received my original order (which I didn’t) they actually messed it up my original order and confused 2 similar orders to the shop for 2 different people due to stores incompetence. I’m £300 down and nothing I can do about it. Avoid this scammy website like the plague. Cheers.
