The list of 13 UK dropshipping store examples

So, are you ready for some inspiration?

Let's dive right into the store examples!

Important reminder: These examples are intended to inspire creativity and innovation in building your own brand.

While it can be helpful to learn from successful businesses, it is essential to avoid simply copying their strategies and ideas. Instead, strive to create a unique brand that sets your business apart and resonates with your target audience.

1. Titan Power Plus

Incorporated on	24 April 2019 (source: Gov.uk)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Charging equipment
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Shogun Landing Page Builder
Dropshipping app	N/A
Monthly traffic	178.3k (source: Similarweb)

Note: If we didn't find a dropshipping app in the website's code, it's likely that they have a close relationship with their supplier or are fulfilling orders with a dropshipping agent.

Let's start with one of the most successful dropshipping stores on this list; Titan Power Plus.

According to Similarweb, they get 178.3k monthly visits, resulting in an estimated annual revenue of $2.0M to $5.0M!

But how do we know that they're dropshipping?

Well, after some digging, we found a web page where they admit it themselves.

Here is a job opening for a customer service agent from Titan Power Plus, which clearly states that it's a dropshipping store:

Besides, we even found their product called 'Titan Cable' on AliExpress:

Product name	Titan Cable
Product cost (including shipping)	$5.12
Selling price	$25.00
Profit margin	79.5%

As you can see, Titan Power Plus has a great profit margin of 79.5% on this charging cable.

So, what makes this store so successful? Let's check out some interesting things about it:

• Using a page builder. Instead of designing the storefront directly from a Shopify theme, Titan Power Plus uses a page builder (Shogun). This allows them to fully customize the store to their liking and make it much more unique!

• Bundle builder. Titan Power Plus designed a 'Bundle builder' feature for their store. Using it, customers can build their own bundle of products and get generous discounts. It's a common trick for how dropshipping stores can increase their sales!

2. Coddies

Incorporated on	19 March 2018 (source: Gov.uk)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Footwear
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom (based on Impulse)
Dropshipping app	N/A
Monthly traffic	15.2k (source: Similarweb)

Coddies is a UK dropshipping store selling funny flip-flops and socks.

It was started in early 2018 by Jack Bennet. He was bored with the 'standard' summer shoe style and wanted to shake up the footwear industry.

So, he let himself get inspired by his travels all around the world and started selling the most unique and fun footwear.

Well, it became a big success!

According to Jack Bennet's LinkedIn page, Coddies' products have been seen by millions and are even worn by celebrities like Dua Lipa and Doja Cat.

Coddies' flagship product is the pair of Fish Flops:

Which we also found on AliExpress:

Product name	Coddies Bass Fish Flops
Product cost (including shipping)	$9.74
Selling price	$24.77 (£19.99)
Profit margin	60.7%

Here are two great things Coddies does that you can learn from or get inspired by:

• Prepared for Q4. If you're reading this in Q4, did you prepare your dropshipping store for this awesome season already? Well, Coddies definitely did!
  
  For instance, they created a custom Christmas-themed homepage. And on their US store, they even edited the product description to focus on selling the product as a Christmas gift:

And in 2021, Coddies even launched a collection of new styles specifically to give their customers new ideas for Christmas presents:

• Supporting charities. Coddies sells many fish-related items, so the fact that they donate 1% of sales to ocean conservation charities fits perfectly with that!

3. Fresh Juice Blender

Store type	One-product store
Niche	Portable blenders
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom
Dropshipping app	CJdropshipping
Monthly traffic	14.7k (source: Similarweb)

Next up is a store that is using CJdropshipping for its products! (Check out our review here)

Fresh Juice Blender started around June 2021 and became a company in the UK on 26 August 2022 — meaning: something is going right!

They installed the CJdropshipping app on 11 December 2021, so there's a 95% chance that they are using the service and don’t just have the app installed without using it.

We also found the product they sell on AliExpress:

Product name	Fresh Juice Portable Blender
Product cost (including shipping)	$21.99
Selling price	$52.99
Profit margin	58.5%

Here are some things to learn from this store:

• Design and theme. Just look at their homepage; does that look like a dropshipping store or a professional brand that is here for the long term?
• Focus on SEO. If you look at the screenshot below (via Ahrefs), you will see that they are dominating their main keyword, fresh juice blender, on Google:

4. More Than A Backpack

Incorporated on	16 July 2021 (source: Gov.uk)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Backpacks
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom (based on Empire by Pixel Union)
Dropshipping app	DSers
Monthly traffic	58.6k (source: Similarweb)

Let's continue with More Than A Backpack. Quite clear that they focus on backpacks, right? Or is there more than just a backpack? 😉

Well, yes, there is! That's because this UK dropshipping store also sells handbags, bags for cameras, and various accessories.

So, why do we think this awesome-looking store is dropshipping? There are several reasons. For example, they state the following in their footer:

We source our backpacks from all over the globe to offer you something you won't find close to home.

That's definitely a friendly way of saying the following, right?

We buy our products from Chinese suppliers, so you don't have to.

Continuing our research, we tried to find their Mochilas School Backpack on AliExpress:

And here it is:

Product name	Waterproof Mochilas School Backpack
Product cost (including shipping)	£13.38
Selling price	£33.00
Profit margin	59.9%

Let's check out some things that you can learn from this store!

• Tell a story. Something that distinguishes a branded dropshipping store from a non-branded one is that branded stores often tell a story. This helps to form a more personal connection with visitors and is likely to increase the conversion rate!

• Create a blog/journal. Starting a blog or journal is a great thing to do when growing your dropshipping store. It shows your visitors that you have knowledge of your niche, so it helps to build trust! Not to mention, you may get some free traffic to your store from your articles!

5. The Kawaii Shoppu

Founded	15 November 2019
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Kawaii
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom (based on Empire by Pixel Union)
Dropshipping app	DSers
Monthly traffic	61.3k (source: Similarweb)

The next UK dropshipping store example is The Kawaii Shoppu.

This store started around 15 November 2019 and installed the Oberlo app almost directly (meaning: they are dropshipping via AliExpress).

After the Oberlo shutdown, they installed the DSers app and didn’t uninstall it yet — they even wrote a review on the Shopify App Store for the DSers app:

We also found several of their product on AliExpress. For example, this Miffy Cool Mist Humidifier:

Product name	Miffy Cool Mist Humidifier
Product cost (including shipping)	£34.99
Selling price	£18.98
Profit margin	45.8%

Here are some things you should pay attention to for this store:

• A great design. Take a look at The Kawaii Shoppu. Do you see how well their design fits with their target audience? Much better than a few random colors, right?

• A serious Instagram account. The Kawaii Shoppu currently has more than 135k followers on its Instagram account! Check out the account here for some inspiration.

6. Fresh Frenzy

Founded	December 2018 (source: Wayback Machine)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Gifts
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Icon
Dropshipping app	DSers
Monthly traffic	44.2k (source: Similarweb)

Fresh Frenzy is the name of the next dropshipping store on this list.

You can see it's an online store from the UK from its Terms of Service:

Fresh Frenzy sells various products that are perfectly suited as gifts. Seemingly, it's going really well for them, as Similarweb estimates a monthly visitor count of 44.2k!

However, while it's a UK-based store, around 85% of its traffic is from the US (also estimated by Similarweb).

You can also see this from the product prices, which are displayed in Dollars:

We also found this product on AliExpress, so let's do a profit margin calculation for it:

Product name	Elephant Cuddle Pillow
Product cost (including shipping)	$12.97
Selling price	$39.00
Profit margin	66.7%

Not too bad, right?

And there are still a lot of things you can learn from this store:

• Great product images. In a world where people are constantly bombarded with images, it’s important to ensure that the ones you use are high quality. Great images can help your store stand out and give customers a positive impression of your dropshipping store:

• Sticky 'Add To Cart' bar. Fresh Frenzy added a great element to their product pages that's likely to increase conversions; a sticky 'Add To Cart' bar. Using it, visitors can add the product to their cart at all times, even from the footer:

7. Plushyz

Incorporated on	7 September 2020 (source: Gov.uk)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Footwear
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom
Dropshipping app	CJdropshipping
Monthly traffic	<5k (source: Similarweb)

Next up is Plushyz, and it's a bit of a competitor for a dropshipping store we saw earlier, Coddies.

This is an online store from the UK, which can be seen from the 'Contact us' details in the footer:

And like Coddies, Plushyz sells various funny slippers, like these Sharky'z Shark Slippers:

We also found them on AliExpress:

Product name	Sharky'z Shark Slippers
Product cost (including shipping)	£8.44
Selling price	£29.00
Profit margin	70.9%

So, what can you learn from this store? Let's take a look:

• A mobile-first design. When looking at Plushyz's store using a desktop, some sections can look a bit 'off.' However, when you open the store on your mobile phone, you will see that's where all the focus is. Having a mobile-first design is great because most of your visitors will use a mobile phone!
  
  Take a look at this homepage section from a desktop view:

Versus the mobile view:

• Focused on TikTok. Advertising on TikTok is one of the best marketing methods right now, and Plushyz isn't planning on missing that opportunity!

8. Paparazzo

Incorporated on	4 September 2020 (source: Gov.uk)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Photography tools
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Zipify Page Builder
Dropshipping app	N/A
Monthly traffic	11.6k (source: Similarweb)

Paparazzo is a dropshipping store specializing in simple-to-use tools that solve specific problems during the photography process.

For instance, they sell this kit designed for mobile creators and TikTokkers:

Looks like a fun niche, right?

However, keep in mind that you're currently looking at an evolved stage of the business. Actually, Paparazzo started in September 2020 as a one-product store selling an auto-tracking phone holder.

We know this from a quote from the founder, Matthew Leonard:

Our target market is anyone who wants to create content at home, or just spend more time with a loved one in a digital world by supplying tech products that make this easier and more fun. Our current product is called Paparazzo. An auto-tracking camera that will follow you wherever you go and keep you in the frame.

Matthew Leonard, Paparazzo (source)

However, at the time, Paparazzo had a difficult time finding a way to achieve fast shipping times, so they partnered with a Chinese logistics company and were featured in one of their success stories:

Cool to see, isn't it?

Now, let's make a profit margin calculation of their Mobile Creator Starter Kit:

Product name	Mobile Creator Starter Kit
Product cost (including shipping)	£13.46
Selling price	£69.00
Profit margin	80.5%

So, what else can you learn from this store? Let's take a look:

• 'Frequently Bought With' offers. Paparazzo places relevant offers on their product pages to try and increase their average order value:

• Ambassador program. Paparazzo does a great job of using affiliate marketing to increase its sales. Basically, an influencer can join Paparazzo’s ambassador program (created with UpPromote) to promote their products. And if someone purchases a product through them, they will get up to 12% of the revenue:

9. Gentcreate

Founded	April 2021 (source: Wayback Machine)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Bags & phone cases
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom (based on Prestige)
Dropshipping app	CJdropshipping
Monthly traffic	6.8k (source: Similarweb)

Next up is Gentcreate, a dropshipping store that sells various bags and phone cases.

So, what's so interesting about this store?

Well, it's their branded product! Check it out:

They claim it's a handmade iPhone case from high-quality Italian calfskin leather.

And with a price tag of $89.99 and the Gentcreate logo placed on the back, you would almost believe it, right?

But take a look at this AliExpress listing first:

That's right, it's the same product, and the AliExpress seller offers to customize the phone case with your own name. It's a business that resembles print on demand!

Product name	Leather iPhone Case
Product cost (including shipping)	£16.15
Selling price	£73.91 ($89.99)
Profit margin	78.1%

Branding the phone case gives it a luxurious appearance and increases its perceived value. Thus, Gentcreate can sell it for a whopping $89.99. That's even a lot more than Apple's own leather cases!

And they do admit that their products are made in China on the About Us page:

Here are some other interesting things we noticed about Gentcreate:

• A fitting theme. Gentcreate uses the Prestige theme. Prestige is a theme designed to give your store a high-end and prestigious look, and it perfectly fits Gentcreate's product and style!

• Featured on other news websites. During our research, we found this store in an article on Newstrail, a popular news website. This is a great thing for their SEO. Oh, and one more thing, they even have a Crunchbase profile!

10. Old Money

Founded	May 2024 (source: Wayback Machine)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Old money fashion
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Impact
Dropshipping app	Unknown
Monthly traffic	379.7k (source: Similarweb)

Old Money is a store that has jumped on the 'old money' fashion trend with lots of success.

They're mainly selling in the US, but they have a UK version of the store too!

'Old money' is an aesthetic that includes timeless, simple, and loose-fitting, but still tailored items.

The style is most popular with men, and popular items include loafers, linen shirts and pants, and classic watches.

Old Money offers all of those items, and it seems to have achieved great success in less than a year. Similarweb estimates it's currently getting 379.7k monthly visitors!

We suspect they're dropshipping because of a few reasons:

1. They're shipping worldwide and have a shipping time of 3-10 business days for all countries. If they were shipping from the US or the UK, the shipping time for that country would be much quicker.

2. Many of their items don't have a brand, can be found on AliExpress, and are sold by many other online stores if you look up the product image. For example, this watch:

3. If you look up their Trustpilot reviews, you will find that lots of people complain that they received low-quality items that are smaller than the size they ordered (common for Chinese fashion items.)

So, what makes this store so successful? Let's take a look:

• Premium website design. The website design of Old Money is really well done. The product images are sharp, the typography and layout fit the old money aesthetic, and it looks very professional overall. This definitely gives the store a lot of trust.

• Great SEO strategy. Old Money does great SEO-wise and is getting lots of free, organic traffic. Ahrefs estimates they get 131k monthly visitors from search engines, and they rank #1 for big keywords like 'old money style':

• Good Facebook Ads. Old Money continues its high-quality efforts with its Facebook Ads. We found this store using the WinningHunter tool, and there are lots of great ads for this store:

11. Mdrnized

Founded	December 2021 (source: Wayback Machine)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Home decor
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom (based on Warehouse)
Dropshipping app	DSers
Monthly traffic	6.0k (source: Similarweb)

The next store, Mdrnized, sells all kinds of home decor items. It's a great source of inspiration for some awesome product ideas!

Take a look at their best sellers in this overview here:

And sure enough, all of them can be found on AliExpress, including this Moon LED Wall Lamp:

Product name	Moon LED Wall Lamp
Product cost (including shipping)	£26.67
Selling price	£53.00
Profit margin	49.7%

Here are a few things to check out for this store:

• A professional appearance. Just look at their homepage; does that look like a dropshipping store or a professional brand that is here for the long term?

• Product reviews. Mdrnized adds product reviews to its product pages for increased social proof.
  
  The great thing about these reviews is that they also include an image, which makes them more trustworthy and also gives the customer a better opportunity to see how the product will look in real life!

12. ZenQ

Incorporated on	9 November 2020 (source: Gov.uk)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Home decor
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	Custom
Dropshipping app	DSers
Monthly traffic	<5k (source: Similarweb)

Let's continue with ZenQ, another dropshipping store in the home decor niche!

Like Mdrnized, ZenQ has some amazing-looking items for your home.

An example is this Cute Deer LED Night Lamp, which we also found on AliExpress:

Product name	Cute Deer LED Night Lamp
Product cost (including shipping)	£14.74
Selling price	£32.99
Profit margin	55.3%

Here are two things to learn from this store:

• Active Instagram profile. ZenQ has over 2,000 posts on its Instagram account. They also have over 400k followers, but we suspect some of them may be fake:

• Pinterest profile. ZenQ is doing great with its social media profiles! They currently also get over a million monthly views on Pinterest. (Click here to see the Pinterest profile.)

13. Pawsitive Vibes

Founded	May 2018 (source: Wayback Machine)
Store type	Niche store
Niche	Pets
Ecommerce platform	Shopify
Store theme	PageFly landing page builder
Monthly traffic	5.8k (source: Similarweb)

Pawsitive Vibes is a Spocket store for the pet-loving community.

The store primarily focuses on unique gifts for dogs, cats, and owners.

You'll find products like custom dog bandanas, cat collars, and pet-themed home goods.

We know that they're using Spocket since they left a review for the app recently:

What sets Pawsitive Vibes apart is its commitment to more than just selling products.

A portion of their sales goes towards helping animals, so they're definitely making a positive impact:

Here are some other things to learn from this store:

• Blog. They have a blog section with articles like "How to Choose the Perfect Dog Bandana" and "Spoil Your Pup with a Homemade Dog Cake for Birthday." This kind of content can keep visitors engaged and coming back for more.
• Catchy tone. Pawsitive Vibes is filled with catchy messages like 'Drama Free Returns' and 'You Shop, We Give.'
• Free dog birthday cake recipe. This free recipe is a fantastic example of how stores can offer value to their audience while building up their email list:
