Don’t know them personally. They do not seem to charge for joining, I would drop them an email, check the price of the products and maybe put in a test order to a friend’s house to see how they do.
If they charge normal wholesale rates (or up to 10% extra is ok ) and postage is in line with royal mail prices and they deliver on time, then they would be worth using.

Best way of sorting a reliable service is to test it. Everyone will tell you they have best service.
Place a test order and see how long it takes to arrive, (postmark on package will say when posted)
Don’t use your address though as it makes it too easy. You need to make sure products leave to your customer on time, not just to your listed address.
It’s also a good idea to find out what happens if things go wrong. Sometimes items get lost in post or damaged.  Although royal mail service is out of our control, your customer is expecting his replacement yesterday. If selling on Amazon and eBay, slow responses mean bad feedback.
So you could do with knowing in advance how to deal with problems and what your supplier wants before resending products

My tips for anyone who is considering dropshipping is that you should really think very carefully before diving into it because the reliability of your supplier is essential to the success of your business, as if your dropshipper has a very, very bad service, then you have a bad service, as they will not associate the product with your supplier, but with you!

So test it out by delivering to yourself first, and then start considering using it as a dropshipper as then you get to experience the service as a customer so if you have complaints others will to.

Good luck!
