This will fill the need of individuals, businesses and organizations who want to buy merchandise in large quantities. Dollar Tree has always offered great value on national and regional brand name products, as well as private label products. The store features items in a wide range of categories that include floral and decor, wedding and catering supplies, school and office supplies, teaching aids, cleaning, storage and hardware, kitchen and tableware, health and personal care, arts and crafts and toys, games and activities.

Dollar Tree Direct has offered its customers products by the case for nearly three years but the launch of this full e-commerce site offers customers value-added benefits such as a design format that is customer friendly and easy to find your way around in. I imagine the biggest benefit of the new web site is being able to shop and pay online with Visa, Master Card, Discover or Dollar Tree gift cards. As before, shipping is free when you pick up your order at a Dollar Tree store near you. The web site offers detailed product images with descriptions and suggestions for use, along with personalized cross-category product suggestions designed to help you take advantage of all the low-cost merchandise Dollar Tree has to offer.

The new site will keep you informed about in-store events, specials, seasonal promotions and a featured "item of the week." This week its Mother's Day balloons and balloon weights. Organizations and individuals will also be able to download and print craft sheets for creative ideas using items from Dollar Tree.

Dollar Tree also has a new web site for its investor, merchandise, real estate and logistics partners, which is aimed at giving an overview of the company, news and events and up-to-date information for Dollar Tree's investor community.
