What Are Customer Returns?

According to data from Statista, customer returns will reach $550 billion by 2020. These items are returned by customers to Amazon and other retailers for different reasons. Sometimes the merchandise has slight defects or cosmetic blemishes, damaged exterior packaging, signs of handling or sometimes the customer simply wants to return the product unused. Though some customer returns may be practically new, Amazon can no longer sell them as new. These products need to be disposed of as quickly as possible because their accumulation poses logistical and warehousing problems. Most large national retailers choose to liquidate these items with top-tier liquidation specialists like Direct Liquidation.

Tips For Purchasing Amazon Customer Returns From Online Liquidators 

1. You should get a resale certificate, as this is required by law in most duristictions.
2. You should inspect the pallet manifest.
3. You should understand the grading specifics of the seller in order to get insights into the quality of the items in the pallet.
4. You should consider the cost of shipping because it can vary depending on where you are.
5. Could you pick up the pallets yourself to save on costs?
6. You should also evaluate whether you can purchase larger volumes because buying truckloads will allow you to get lower unit prices compared to buying only wholesale pallets. This will further lower your total cost and increase your profitability on each item.

Setting up Your Business

The key to success in reselling Amazon customer returns is to offer your products in the right marketplace. You should choose carefully where you will sell your merchandise, whether it is online or in brick and mortar stores. Online selling is more convenient since there are several free listing web sites such as Craigslist, AtOncer and eBay. 

If you are new to the online selling business, do not expect to recover your investments in just one big sale. That is not the way online selling works. You should only count your profit when you have sold a pallet or bulk items. You should also avoid thinking that offering the lowest price will automatically sell your products. Some people suspect that something is wrong with an item if they see a very low price. So, just keep your prices a little below your competition. You should also consider investing in some form of advertisements to promote your merchandise.

You may well do better selling locally, to your community. This will also keep your costs down.

There are different shipping options for online selling. These include the following: 

1. Self-fulfillment. This electronic commerce fulfillment option will allow you to save money but it will also give you full responsibility for the shipping process.
2. Third-Party Fulfilment. With this option, you will buy the product and have it shipped to a third-party warehouse and they will be the one responsible for storage and shipping of the items. 
3. Direct selling and local delivery only. This is the cheapest option for you as a reseller, and one you should certainly consider. Will you only sell online? Can you delivery products locally yourself? Is it worth renting store space, or a market stall?
