Should I Buy Home Improvement Customer Returns

2018-06-01

There are plenty of businesses that would benefit from buying home improvement customer returns. Bricks and mortar home improvement store owners; online sellers who specialize in buying home improvement goods from online wholesale suppliers and then selling them on to both business and non-business customers on sites such as eBay and Amazon; construction companies looking for a great source of top-quality tools and accessories, and many other types of resellers and small businesses.

Of course, it’s important to source the returns you want for your home improvement business from a reliable supplier who can sell you what you need at a reasonable price. In the olden days, that meant sourcing from a wholesaler. However, an increasing number of businesses are turning to top-tier liquidators to help them with their sourcing solutions, and it’s not hard to see why.

What You’ll Find On A Liquidator’s Site

Whatever type of home improvement business you run, or if you’re just doing up a building and you’re on the lookout for a cheap source of tools and fittings such as AC units, doors, door frames, kitchen and bathroom fittings, etc. you’ll find an abundance of top-quality home improvement merchandise on an online liquidation marketplace such as the one operated by Direct Liquidation.

There are hundreds of lines of cheap wholesale merchandise available, from power tools made by some of the biggest tools manufacturers in the world such as Bosch, Black & Decker, and DeWalt, to pressure washers, outdoor lighting solutions, kitchen fittings and a whole lot more.

And because the customer returns a company such as Direct Liquidation advertises on its site come from some of the biggest names in home improvement (in Direct Liquidation’s case, you’ll find returns from Walmart and, most recently, from Lowe’s – the second biggest home improvement retailer in the United States), the pallets and truckloads you buy will be of the highest quality, and they won’t have been scoured through by a third party, so what is written on each lot’s manifest is exactly what you’ll get – no cherry picking guaranteed.

Sourcing Customer Returns From A Top-Tier Liquidator

Finding a reliable and trustworthy source of home improvement customer return pallets is easier than you think. Top tier liquidation specialists such as Direct Liquidation operate online liquidation marketplaces where you’ll find a huge range of home improvement returns being sold by big names such as Lowe’s and Walmart.

Sold in pallets or truckloads via live auction or at a fixed/negotiated price, sourcing home improvement customer returns through a liquidator’s site couldn’t be easier. Simply use the drop-down category selector to find the home improvement merchandise you’re looking for, and away you go. In Direct Liquidation’s case, home improvement customer returns pallets can currently be found in the following categories:

Once you’ve located a pallet of home improvement merchandise you’re interested in – say, a 31-piece pallet of mixed Lowe’s untested customer returns containing hardware, curtains and window coverings, kitchen and bath fixtures, lighting and light fixtures – you can set up an email notification which will alert you when the auction of the pallet you’re interested in is about to come up for auction.

Then it’s just a matter of entering bids after the auction starts, sticking to your upper limit and seeing if you’re successful. Oh, and don’t be tempted to go over your upper limit. Top tier liquidators work in partnership with some of the biggest names in home improvement retail, meaning another similar pallet of customer returns wholesale will arrive on a liquidator’s site shortly, so there’s no need to panic buy as new stock arrives on a liquidator’s site daily.

If you’re the successful bidder, or you’ve chosen to buy a pallet of home improvement customer returns at a fixed or negotiated price, shipping your goods to a destination of your choosing is made as easily as possible. Most top-tier liquidators have distribution centers located near major highways, and they are also usually close by big-name retailers’ warehouses, meaning the goods you buy from them can be transferred to a liquidator’s distribution center quickly, and then accessed easily by your preferred courier.

Direct Liquidation’s distribution centers are primarily located in the east of the country. If you’re on the lookout for a cheap source of the more bulkier items a company like Lowe’s has to offer, such as timber, doors, door frames, windows and tools, customers in the east will benefit from decreased shipping costs due to the short distance the goods you buy need to be shipped across to your designated location. Something to bear in mind for resellers located in states with good transport links to Greenfield, Indiana; Blacksburg South Carolina; Rogers, Arkansas Bentonville, Arkansas; Frankfort, Kentucky; Greenfield, Indiana; and Brampton, Ontario, Canada, where Direct Liquidation’s distribution centers are located.

Why You Should Buy Customer Returns

So, we’ve told you what you can expect to find on a top-tier liquidator’s online live auction and sales platform, and how easy it is buying returns pallets and shipping from one. But the big question remains – why should you buy customer returns from a liquidator instead of, say, a more traditional wholesaler or a small-scale liquidation business? Well, the answer’s fairly simple. Unlike those aforementioned operations, a top-tier liquidation company cuts out the middleman and works directly with some of the country’s biggest home improvement retailers, offering pallets of untested customer returns at prices you’ll struggle to find elsewhere.

Every year, companies such as Lowe’s take back thousands of items of home improvement stock in a variety of conditions that they can’t resell in their stores. This merchandise has to go somewhere to free up valuable warehouse space for product Lowe’s actually has a chance of selling at full MSRP, and that’s where a liquidator steps in.

Liquidators offer companies such as Lowe’s and Walmart an online space in which they can sell their home improvement returns to business customers and home improvement enthusiasts quickly, efficiently and, most crucially, cheaply. This means you will find hundreds of lines of excellent quality home improvement merchandise being sold at a price that’s well below its retail value, making this type of stock some of the most profitable wholesale items you can buy.

For retailers, that means one thing – you can sell on the customer returns you buy from a liquidator such as Direct Liquidation at a much more attractive price and thus maximize the profits you make on your liquidated stock purchases. And for home improvement enthusiasts and construction companies, you’ll have a cheap source of fixtures, fittings, and tools that will make your current home improvement project much cheaper, or make your budget stretch further.

Should you buy home improvement customer returns? The answer has to be a resounding yes. So why not check out a top-tier liquidator’s site today and see what they have to offer. We don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
