The Gather + Place Shop is both a drop-shipping marketplace and direct e-commerce business, which means it markets and sells items direct on behalf of the ‘artists/designers’ (Suppliers), as well as reselling items like a normal retail business. Gather + Place confirms the sale via the online Shop then sends to each artist/designer an individual customer purchase order specifying the products, quantities and any other information (eg colour, sizes) along with your personal shipping information. The artist/designer then creates and/or packs the products and arranges for shipping via the Gather + Place authorised shipping suppliers.
