Fast Furnishings operates a wholesale dropship program focused on furniture and home products. Approved resellers can sell products without keeping the inventory themselves, then place the matching customer order through Fast Furnishings for direct fulfillment.
Fast Furnishings is different from EPROLO and CJdropshipping. Instead of being a broad software-style dropshipping platform, it operates more like a direct wholesale furniture supplier.
The catalog focuses on furniture, home furnishings, patio products, home office, bedroom, dining, and related categories.
Sellers apply to participate in the wholesale dropship program before receiving discounted pricing.
After you receive a customer order, you place the matching order on FastFurnishings.com using your customer's shipping address.
Approved resellers receive a wholesale coupon code used when placing customer orders.
Approved sellers are permitted to copy Fast Furnishings product images and descriptions for their own listings.
A product CSV feed is available with qualifying paid Pro and Premium program levels.
Fast Furnishings currently lists two wholesale discount levels: 10% and 15% off the product price shown on its website.
The free wholesale dropship plan currently provides 10% discounted pricing.
Paid program levels can provide 15% discounted pricing.
Wholesale pricing currently includes standard free shipping within the contiguous United States.
Furniture dropshipping can produce larger dollar profits, but shipping and delivery details matter much more than with a small parcel product.
Fast Furnishings currently includes free shipping on products shipped within the contiguous United States.
Many smaller products ship through carriers such as UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.
Large products such as sofas, beds, and pool tables may ship using a freight carrier.
Freight shipments are generally curbside delivery and do not include inside delivery or setup.
Fast Furnishings currently says it does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada.
Tracking information is sent to the reseller after shipment so it can be passed on to the customer.
Fast Furnishings currently states that it does not offer blind dropshipping. The package may show the manufacturer name or warehouse address as the ship-from location. However, Fast Furnishings says wholesale pricing is not included on the packing slip sent to your customer.
Fast Furnishings currently tells approved wholesale resellers that they may use its products on their own website, eBay, or other online marketplaces.
A furniture or home-focused independent ecommerce store is a natural fit.
Fast Furnishings specifically references eBay as a channel used by approved resellers.
The supplier references other online marketplaces, but you still need to verify the rules of your specific marketplace.
Read the current program page first so you understand the pricing levels, shipping rules, and reseller requirements.
Fast Furnishings says resellers should obtain the business licenses, tax identification, seller permits, or other requirements that apply in their location.
Submit the requested information through the supplier's current wholesale dropship process.
Fast Furnishings says approved sellers receive a welcome email with their wholesale coupon code.
Do not immediately list thousands of products.
Consider a focused category such as home office, outdoor living, small-space furniture, bedroom furniture, bar furniture, fire pits, or another clear niche.
Choose products that fit your niche and appear manageable from a shipping and return standpoint.
Compare your wholesale cost, realistic selling price, shipping type, freight requirements, competition, return risk, and expected dollar profit.
Start with products that combine reasonable demand, attractive profit, manageable delivery, and lower return risk.
Approved sellers may use Fast Furnishings product images and descriptions.
Improve the listing for your store while keeping all product specifications and delivery information accurate.
Go to FastFurnishings.com and locate the exact product.
Add it to the cart, apply your wholesale coupon code, use your information for billing, and enter your customer's address as the ship-to address.
Once Fast Furnishings ships the product, monitor the tracking information and provide it to your customer.
This is one important difference between the free and paid plans.
You receive the wholesale discount, but Fast Furnishings currently says the free plan does not include its product CSV feed.
Qualifying paid plans include access to the product CSV for importing larger numbers of products.
A beginner does not need thousands of imported products. Start manually with a small researched group first.
Furniture can produce larger dollar profit per sale, but it also introduces shipping, freight, damage, and return risks that smaller products may not have.
Focus on the actual dollars you earn after all costs, not just the markup percentage.
Larger products can be more expensive to replace if they arrive damaged.
Returning a sofa or table can be much more expensive than returning a small parcel item.
Be clear about curbside delivery, assembly, delivery timing, and package size.
Confirm whether the exact item ships by parcel or freight before publishing your listing.
Furniture buyers need accurate product and package measurements before purchasing.
Before fulfilling a customer order, confirm that the exact product is still available, verify the current wholesale price, confirm whether it ships by parcel or freight, and review the current delivery information. Large-product shipping details can significantly affect the customer experience.
