A seven-year-old dropship and wholesale e-commerce platform specializing in smoking accessories is available for sale. Operating on a prominent online retail platform, this business handles dropshipping and wholesale orders, and offers consumers membership-based access to wholesale pricing for an annual fee.

The current owner supplies many of the products through a separate distribution company, offering competitive distribution pricing to prospective buyers, with additional vendor relationships in place for continued supply.
