Most \"top 10\" listicles still rank them. The field consolidated hard around Faire.\n\n### Start here\n\n**1. Faire** - The default answer, and not a close race. ~700,000 retailers and 100,000+ brands across the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The reason it's worth it for a store rather than just big for its own sake: **net-60 terms** (60 days from order date to pay, vs. the usual net-30), **free shipping on first orders**, and **free returns on opening orders** - so testing an unknown brand costs you almost nothing.
