Built by People Who Understand Wholesale — Not Just Software
Dalton Distributors was started to fix a simple problem: most wholesalers make retailers work too hard to get stock. No clear pricing, no live availability, and no one who actually answers the phone when a delivery’s late.
We’re a UK-based, Scotland-stocked wholesale distributor supplying retailers and resellers across dozens of categories — from Baby & Child to Building and Decorating. Every product is sourced directly from manufacturers or authorised suppliers, so what you’re buying is always genuine, and your margins stay protected.
Whether you’re stocking a single shop or managing multiple locations, we built our pricing, delivery, and account system around one goal: making it easier for you to reorder, restock, and grow — without the runaround.
Everything Your Business Needs, Stocked in One Place
Running a retail business usually means juggling more suppliers than anyone would choose to. Dalton Distributors was built to cut that number down. Our inventory covers diverse sectors like Baby & Child, Bathrooms & Plumbing, Beauty & Skincare, Books, Building, Clothing & Accessories, and Decorating, while continuously expanding our product lines based on market demand. Every product is sourced directly from manufacturers or authorised suppliers, so stock origin is never in question.

Why UK Retailers Choose Dalton Distributors
Most wholesalers can quote a price. Fewer can tell you when the next shipment lands, or talk you through switching product lines before a season changes. We aim to be the second kind competitive trade pricing, a product range wide enough to cover most of what a general retailer needs, delivery you can plan a reorder schedule around, and a support team that picks up the phone.

Whether You're Buying or Supplying, We Make It Easy
Dalton Distributors works both ways. Retailers get trade-priced stock, real availability, and a team that answers the phone. Manufacturers and suppliers get a distribution partner that moves product into the hands of UK retailers who are actively ordering. Whichever side you’re on, getting started takes a few minutes.
Become a Customer
Open a free trade account and start ordering at wholesale prices — no minimum spend to get set up, and no waiting around for a quote. Once you're approved, you'll see trade pricing across the whole catalogue, real-time stock levels, and delivery windows you can plan a reorder schedule around.
Become a Supplier
Get your products in front of UK retailers actively placing trade orders every day. We partner directly with manufacturers and authorised suppliers, so your stock reaches shop floors across the country without you having to chase individual retail accounts.
Buy More, Save More
Wholesale pricing should reward the retailers who order the most, and that’s how ours works. The bigger the order, the better the margin with trade discounts on volume, deals reserved for registered accounts, 30-day credit terms for approved customers, and pallet orders moved to the front of the queue.
Trade Discounts
Unit prices drop as order quantities go up.
Exclusive Deals
Time-limited offers sent straight to registered accounts.
Flexible Trade Credit
30-day payment terms once your account is approved.
Priority Fulfillment
Pallet and bulk orders are picked and dispatched first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a wholesale distributor actually do?
A wholesale distributor buys stock in bulk directly from manufacturers, then sells it on to retailers and resellers in smaller quantities at a trade price. It sits between the factory and the shop floor, which is what lets a small or mid-sized retailer stock brand-name products without buying a container load at a time.
Who can open a trade account with Dalton Distributors?
We work with retailers, online sellers, market traders, and other trade buyers, including new and small businesses. If you are just starting out, include as much detail as you can about how you plan to sell your own shop, an online store, a marketplace account, or a market stall, when you apply.
Do I need a VAT number or registered company to buy wholesale?
Not necessarily. Sole traders and businesses without a VAT number can usually still apply for a trade account, though we do carry out basic checks to confirm you’re buying for resale rather than personal use.
What categories does Dalton Distributors supply?
Our range currently covers Baby & Child, Bathrooms & Plumbing, Beauty & Skincare, Books, Building, Clothing & Accessories, Decorating and more, with additional categories added as the business grows. The full, current list is always available on our Categories page.
How quickly are trade orders delivered?
Standard orders are dispatched within our usual UK lead times, and pallet or bulk orders placed by approved trade accounts are given priority fulfilment.
Can I resell products bought from Dalton Distributors on Amazon or eBay?
Yes — many of our trade customers sell through online marketplaces as well as physical shops. If you’re sourcing for a specific marketplace, it’s worth checking with us first, as a small number of brands restrict where their products can be listed.
