    Thanks for your reply. Problem with renting unit I would need someone there to receive parcels and that's not possible not at the moment. Plan was to sell car parts. I had conversations with automotive groups who were interested to work with me and got stuck at this address issue.

    Car parts supplier for online trade

    I would suggest you to make a list of manifacturers you think you would like to work with and write each of them an email asking if they would want to work with you.

    Not necessarily, not always everything is about millions. If you have skill set technical (understanding of car parts), IT (web design, e-commerce, car parts compatibility intigration), accounting (dealing with taxes) and communications skills, you can do it as good as big boys ?

    You are absolutely right here. After brexit everything is slow so my idea would be to use local UK based manufacturer products and not products stored in Germany. Also, I agree on quality, as of my own experience parts from Ebay tend to not fit .

    Well, I wouldn't plant to grow as big as Euro Car Parts but who knows ;) I don't think dropshipping is an answer as profit would be tiny.

    Car parts supplier for online trade

    Hi everyone, Trying to do research on how I can sell car parts on online retail. The question I have, where UK motor factors get their stock from. Is it directly from manufacturer or some distributors linked to manufacturer. Has anyone had any experience with selling car parts online.

    Thank you all for your input. I do understand how VAT works but issue I have is to actually get registered for VAT. Only option I see here is to have some sort of contract between manufacturers and my business sort of pre-contract which states conditions such as VAT and other things. The fact...
