Step 01
Choose a load that fits your operation
Liquidation inventory can include customer returns, excess stock, shelf pulls and salvage. Buy for the merchandise you can inspect, store and sell—not an assumed retail value or a promised return.
Pallets
A smaller starting point when you are learning a category or have limited storage. Confirm the stated pallet count and receiving requirements for the particular load.
Pallet buying detailsTruckloads
For operations with the space, labor and receiving access to manage a larger load. Confirm trailer access and unloading arrangements before ordering.
Truckload buying detailsCompare available categories or read the liquidation overview first.
Step 02
Condition is part of the purchase
A retailer or brand name does not establish the condition of a load. The specific listing matters. A mixed load is not a new-product lot just because some items are unused.
- New
- Only products explicitly listed as new carry this designation. Do not infer it from an overstock label or from photos alone.
- Overstock
- Unsold excess inventory. Review the listing for the actual condition; packaging and assortment can vary.
- Shelf pulls
- Goods removed from retail shelves or displays. Packaging may show wear, stickers or handling marks; review the stated condition.
- Customer returns / mixed
- May include used, incomplete, damaged or non-working items. Individual customer-return units are not function-tested.
- Salvage
- Damaged or incomplete merchandise for parts, repair or recovery—not a promise of working goods.
See types of pallets and condition grades. Liquidation goods are sold as-is; no manufacturer or retailer warranty is promised. Our Warranty Policy explains the limits without removing applicable legal rights.
Step 03
Read the listing—not just the photo
A lot summary is not an itemized manifest.
Use Download Manifest on the product page to save the load’s summary PDF. Current listings are unmanifested at item level: exact contents, unit counts and retail values are not stated or guaranteed.
- Match the product title, SKU, load type, stated condition and pallet count to the lot you intend to buy.
- Review the price in US dollars, current availability, written description and every available load photo. Photos do not turn variable contents into a guaranteed item list.
- Check what is not documented. Ask about missing dimensions, weights or receiving requirements rather than assuming generic pallet specifications apply.
- Plan for sorting, testing where appropriate, storage, marketplace fees and disposal. No retail valuation, resale revenue or profit is promised.
Step 04
Order review comes before payment
- 1
Submit your order
Select the load, review your delivery details and checkout total, and choose an enabled payment method. Submission does not automatically charge a card or prove that payment has cleared.
- 2
Receive written instructions
Our team reviews the order and supplies order-specific payment details. The review target is within 30 minutes during business hours, not a guaranteed response time; outside those hours, review resumes when the team reopens.
- 3
Pay and confirm
Card buyers receive a secure payment link. ACH, wire and manual-method buyers follow the written instructions. Where requested, send a payment screenshot; it is supporting evidence, not proof of cleared funds. ACH and wire payments are verified through our payment partner before processing.
- 4
Move into processing
Handling begins after the order is accepted and payment is confirmed, subject to the processing cutoff. An awaiting-payment invoice is not a paid receipt.
Accepted payment methods
Card, ACH, wire, Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay and Chime are available when enabled at checkout. Manual methods use separately supplied instructions; do not assume an automatic wallet checkout.
Verify unexpected recipient changes with our team using the contact details on this website. Never send card numbers, passwords or security codes by email. Read the Payment Policy and Sales Tax Policy.
Step 05
Make room for delivery
Free standard freight is included for every eligible order in the 48 contiguous United States, with no minimum order value. Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and international destinations are outside this delivery coverage. Export buyers can contact us about collection by their own forwarder.

Estimated total
Business days, Monday–Friday, excluding holidays. Processing starts after accepted order and confirmed payment, with a 2:00 PM Central Time cutoff. After-cutoff confirmations roll to the next business day. Estimates are not guaranteed arrival dates.
- Before dispatch: Confirm the delivery address, contact number, vehicle access, storage space and load-specific unloading arrangements. Disclose residential access or site restrictions in advance.
- On dispatch: A bill of lading and tracking are issued. Coordinate delivery appointments with the carrier where required.
- On arrival: Count pallets, inspect packaging, photograph the load and record visible damage or shortages on the delivery receipt before signing.
Step 06
Know your return and claim rights
Products explicitly listed as new
US returns for defective and non-defective products, and exchanges, are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Returns are by mail; the customer pays for the return label and shipping. A 15% product-price restocking fee applies, subject to applicable law. Refund processing takes 10 calendar days after authorized goods are received and checked.
Mixed, used, returns and salvage
These loads are not eligible for routine change-of-mind returns and have separate claims provisions. Report delivery concerns within 48 hours with your order number, photos and signed receipt. This reporting request does not shorten eligible new-product returns or override mandatory rights.
Contact us for written authorization and instructions before returning goods. Do not mail a load or bring it to the warehouse without confirmation. Exchanges depend on replacement availability.
