Search one city, not “worldwide wholesale”
Set the channel to wholesaler, add a product term and a city. UK coverage: find UK wholesalers. Retail method: find overseas buyers.
Cities that are worth a first pass
- United States: Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami.
- Europe: London, Manchester, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Milan.
- Also: Toronto, Dubai, Sydney — once freight to that hub is clear.
On the first call, ask whether they take new overseas suppliers and where samples should go.
Frequently asked questions
Is an online “wholesale” shop the same thing?
Usually not. You want a local warehouse and a sales desk that already serves retailers, not another ecommerce storefront.
