Become a one-stop-shop for your customers by expanding your offering through drop ship.
No expensive special orders, no new item setups, no lost business—with drop ship, you can add thousands of products to your offering without any of them entering your warehouse. Make Dot Foods’ vast selection of foodservice, retail, and non-foods products available to your customers, and we’ll get their orders delivered straight to them.
Why Drop Ship?
Endless Aisle
Offer 42,000+ stocked products to your customers—without adding a single new SKU to your warehouse.
Speed to Market
Dot offers multiple shipping speeds to ensure your customers get what they want, when they want it.
All Under Your Name
Your name appears on the shipping label, and Dot never invoices your customer.

Invoices sent
Dot invoices the distributor, and the distributor invoices the customer.
Cost Comparison
Setting up special order items and new SKUs for every customer’s request is cost prohibitive for most distributors. But with drop ship, you can bypass those expenses while still saying “yes” to your customers.
