‘The beginning of an exciting partnership’: Irish retailer Woodie's deploys Virtualstock dropshipping platform

Irish DIY and home improvement retailing company, Woodie’s, has gone live on Virtualstock’s dropship platform.

In a LinkedIn post, Virtualstock said: “Our team members Louie Clark and Tim Hay-Edie had the pleasure of visiting Dublin this week to see the Woodie's team in action, and we couldn't be more excited to share that the first dropship order has officially gone through. And what was the first item ordered, you ask? a Brabantia bin.”

It added: “Huge shoutout to Roisin, who made history as the very first customer on our platform with their bin purchase. It’s these moments that make all our hard work worth it.”

“This is just the beginning of an exciting partnership, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to revolutionise the retail landscape together.”
