Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General Questions About Liquidation
What is liquidation?
Liquidation is when retailers sell surplus, overstock, and return merchandise in bulk to liquidators at discounted prices. This allows businesses to recover costs quickly while providing resellers access to discounted, brand-name products.
How does truckload liquidation work?
Retailers sell their excess stock in bulk by truckload or pallet. These loads contain a mix of products from top U.S. department stores and big-box retailers. Resellers purchase these goods at discounted rates and sell them through retail stores, flea markets, or online platforms.
What’s the difference between overstock, returns, and shelf pulls?
- Overstock – Brand-new items that have never sold in stores.
- Shelf Pulls – Products removed from shelves to make space for new inventory.
- Customer Returns – Items that have been bought and returned, sometimes unused.
