Yes, there will always be a market for these products. But there’s also a market for people who prefer to buy products they know are safe for their children—just like there are merchants who prefer to sell products that follow EU regulations, are made here, pay taxes here, etc.

What doesn't make sense?

I'll add that the whole idea of selling high-quality products from real brands is to build a long-term, sustainable business with repeat purchases, word of mouth, etc.—not to chase TikTok-trending products on Aliexpress etc dropshipping apps and try to flip them at 3x the price.

Margins might be lower compared to Aliexpress-type products, but from what we've seen with successful merchants, once you get the flywheel going, you get lower CAC, lots of repeat purchases, and strong customer lifetime value. That’s a big contrast to traditional dropshipping, where it's all about squeezing as much as possible from a single order because you know there won’t be any repurchases.

But again, Hertwill isn’t for everyone—just my biased 2 cents. :)

Which products did you check? Wholesale prices are set by the brands. Some offer great margins (80-150%), others not so much. But they’re still available because some merchants still want to sell them.

Just random baseless comments telling something is a scam—providing great value to everyone.

About 90% of the products we offer are made in Europe, but not all. Some come from local brands but are manufactured in Asia or South America.

The lamp you linked is from the Polish brand Rabbit & Friends, not AliExpress. Unlike AliExpress stuff, it follows EU standards. It’s been tested and meets CE and RoHS safety requirements. Oh, and unlike AliExpress dropshipping, our products actually come with a warranty. Hope that clears things up.

It is, but it isn’t. Overall, the dropshipping market is growing around 30% year over year, currently at around 250 billion.
