Small wholesale for everyone.
From brands you love — better prices, free delivery.
Fair marketplace
Most marketplaces charge brands 15–30% commission on every sale. To stay profitable, brands raise their prices. Customers end up paying more, and brands still lose a chunk of their revenue.
For independent brands, it's even harder. Building your own online store takes time, money, and marketing know-how. Joining a major marketplace means giving up a huge cut of every sale before you've even established yourself.
We built things101 to fix that. Brands pay just 5% commission — no listing fees, no monthly subscription. And by selling in small wholesale quantities, brands ship efficiently while customers get better prices and free delivery every time.
Worth buying. Worth selling.
A single one-off order often costs a small brand more to ship than they earn from the sale. things101 fixes this with minimum orders — brands set a quantity or spend threshold so every shipment works economically.
Buyers get wholesale prices and free delivery as a result.
That's the idea behind things101. Small wholesale that works because everyone's incentives line up — brands fulfill orders worth shipping, buyers get prices worth paying.
