Home and garden

Home and garden marketplaces, run properly all year.

Furniture, homeware and garden products sell well on marketplaces, but bulky delivery, safety rules and short seasons catch businesses out. We run your listings, pricing and stock on the right marketplaces, so you're ready when demand arrives.

Book a 20-minute demoWhat we do
The problem

Home and garden is a big market with expensive mistakes.

We set up and run your marketplaces around these realities: the right channels, accurate delivery settings and listings ready before each season. We can also get your products into the right garden centres, gift shops and design stores through retail and wholesale.

Delivery eats the margin

Large, heavy items cost more to send and to take back. Set delivery charges wrong and some sales lose money.

Seasons that don't wait

Garden demand arrives with the first warm weekends. If listings and stock aren't ready, other sellers take those sales.

Rules for what you sell

Upholstered furniture, live plants and garden chemicals each come with legal requirements, and marketplaces expect you to meet them.

Where to sell

The channels that suit you. And why.

Amazon

Huge reach for homeware and garden. Its Heavy and Bulky programme lets shoppers book a delivery date or slot for large items.

Marketplace guide →

Wayfair

Built around furniture and home. Wayfair UK works on a drop-ship basis and sets the retail price, with your wholesale cost as a major part of it.

Marketplace guide →

B&Q

Shoppers already go to diy.com for home and garden. B&Q verifies every seller and lists over 1.2 million products from more than 1,100 sellers.

Marketplace guide →

The Range

A home and leisure retailer whose marketplace partners now account for 45% of its online sales, with applications open.

Marketplace guide →

Tesco

Tesco Marketplace launched in June 2024 and offers over 400,000 third-party products across homeware, furniture and electronics.

Watch out for

What makes this category different.

Bulky items need their own delivery plan

Sofas, sheds and garden furniture don't fit standard parcel services. Amazon treats self-fulfilled items over 30kg or 1.5m long as Heavy and Bulky, with arranged and scheduled delivery options. Accurate weights, dimensions and delivery settings stop the extra cost landing on you.

Upholstered furniture has fire safety rules

Under the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, upholstered furniture must pass cigarette and match resistance tests and carry a permanent label (mattresses and bed bases excepted). The separate point-of-sale display label was removed from 30 October 2025.

Garden sales come in a short window

The Horticultural Trades Association says May is traditionally the busiest month for garden centre sales. Online demand follows the same weather, so listings, stock and promotions need to be ready weeks before spring, then again for the Christmas home rush.

Plants and garden chemicals are regulated

Selling live plants online to home gardeners needs a plant passport, and businesses selling plants must register as professional operators. Pesticides are authorised separately for amateur and professional use, and professional products aren't for untrained home gardeners.

How we help

What we do for you.

Delivery data you can trust

We set accurate weights, dimensions and delivery templates for every product, so large items are priced and delivered properly.

Product feeds →

Listings that answer the questions

Sizes, materials, assembly and care details shown clearly in titles, images and bullet points, to cut the questions and returns that come from unclear details.

Listing optimisation →

Season-ready planning

We plan listings, promotions and advertising around spring garden demand and Christmas, and check stock levels well ahead of each peak.

Marketplace advertising →

One stock position everywhere

Your website and marketplaces draw on the same stock figures, so you don't sell a sofa you only had two of.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Can we sell large furniture if we use our own couriers?
Yes. Most marketplaces let you fulfil orders yourself, as long as you meet their dispatch and tracking standards. Amazon's Heavy and Bulky programme supports self-fulfilled orders with arranged or scheduled delivery, and Wayfair works on a drop-ship basis where you send orders direct to customers.
Which marketplaces suit home and garden businesses?
Amazon for reach, then retailers whose customers already shop for the home, such as B&Q, Wayfair, The Range and Tesco. B&Q verifies every seller, so clean product data and reliable delivery matter before you apply. In a free 20-minute demo we show where we'd start for your range.
Do sofas still need a display label?
Not since 30 October 2025, when the display label requirement was removed. The ignition resistance tests and the permanent label still apply. The government consulted on wider reform of furniture fire safety in 2026, so it's worth watching for further changes.
When should we prepare for garden season?
Well before spring. Listings, images and stock should be in place before demand rises, with May traditionally the busiest month for garden centre sales. We plan backwards from your peak so nothing is rushed.
What does it cost for a home and garden business?
Home and garden ranges often come in several sizes, colours and finishes, so product counts grow quickly. Costs depend on the channels you want to sell on, how many products you have and how much help you need. We give you a clear quote after a free 20-minute demo.
