Can I Trust Direct Liquidation for Sourcing Customer Returns?
If you run a retail business that relies on buying pallets or truckloads of wholesale customer returns, you’ll be in a need of a reputable supplier that won’t rip you off and can offer your company the goods it needs at a fair and profitable price. And so we recommend you take a look at what Direct Liquidation can do for you.
With over a decade of experience in the industry, and having established partnerships with some of the biggest retailers in the United States, Direct Liquidation should be your first port of call when looking for tier 1 manufacturer customer returns. Here’s why.
An Experienced Company With A Proven Track Record
Established in 2007, Direct Liquidation has grown to become one of the US’s most respected top-tier liquidation companies. Today, Direct Liquidation has gained the confidence of some of the country’s largest retailers who trust Direct Liquidation to provide them with a platform through which they can sell their unwanted returns direct to retail businesses.
To date, Direct Liquidation has entered into partnerships with Walmart, Lowe’s Hardware, Target, and Amazon. All of these retail giants use Direct Liquidation’s online sales platform to sell a huge range of top-quality branded and own brand returns directly to business customers.
Back in the bad old days, online liquidators were notorious for passing off deliberately misrepresented pallets of unsellable garbage to unsuspecting buyers who didn’t have a hope in hell of making a profit from. Low-grade junk was passed off as tier 1 goods, and winning a bid on this misrepresented stock often came with an additional 7-15% ‘buyer premium’ loaded on top. This landed many unsuspecting retailers, who thought they were getting a good deal, in a financial hole that was not of their own making. It made buying merchandise wholesale a potential minefield.
Direct Liquidation aimed to put a stop to that kind of bad practice, and it succeeded. By partnering up with some of the country’s biggest retailers, they are able to offer business customers a huge range of top-quality returns in over a hundred categories that come from top manufacturers such as Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Samsung and many more. And because Direct Liquidation deals with the biggest retail names, they cannot afford to tarnish their reputation by indulging in the bad practices mentioned above as their retailer partners – who have their own reputations to think of – will simply walk away.
That means you won’t find misleading manifests or hidden charges on Direct Liquidation’s site. The pallets and truckloads of returns companies such as Walmart sell through to business customers via liquidation auctions held on Direct Liquidation’s online sales platform are cherry-picked before being sold on, as so often happens when dealing with unscrupulous small-scale liquidation companies.
It’s very much a case of what you see is what you get when you buy pallets or truckloads of wholesale merchandise from Direct Liquidation’s liquidation sales. What you get is top quality customer returns from some of the biggest manufacturers in the world coming directly from the warehouses of the country’s leading retailers.
Warehouses Located Throughout The United States And Canada
Direct Liquidation’s network of distribution centers is located close to their partners’ warehouses.

You’ll get the goods you buy from them in as fast a time as possible.
The company’s distribution centers are also located alongside major highways. Your chosen courier company won’t have to go hunting around back alleys and side streets tracking them down. This ease of access means you’ll cut down on shipping and fuel costs as couriers can find Direct Liquidation’s centers with ease.

Real-Time Shipping Quotes That Help You Calculate Your Margins
If you choose to let Direct Liquidation handle the logistics after you’ve purchased pallets or truckloads of goods from their online sales platform, the company offers real-time shipping quotes via a shipping costs calculator located under the ‘Bid Now’ button on each pallet’s lot.
Simply enter the zip code of the place you wish the wholesale merchandise to be delivered to, and Direct Liquidation will calculate the cost of shipping to that location. This will help you see exactly what your outgoing costs will be in total, and thus make it easier to calculate your potential profit margins.
Please take note that Direct Liquidation does not handle international shipping. For customers looking to arrange international shipments, select ‘Arrange my own shipping’ at checkout and then contact Direct Liquidation’s customer support team who will provide you with the details of a customs broker who will help you with the ins and outs of shipping across country borders.
Buyer Vetting: No Bidding against Bots
Unlike a lot of other liquidation companies, Direct Liquidation vets its buyers by asking them to sign up for an account and produce a valid resale certificate before they can bid on pallets or truckloads of Walmart, Lowe’s, Target and Amazon customer returns. This means that, unlike unscrupulous small-scale operations, you won’t be bidding against bots when you enter bids in a live auction on Direct Liquidation’s site. So there’s no artificial inflation of prices as a result of bidders who do not actually exist.
However, the need to sign up for an account does not mean that you won’t have access to Direct Liquidation’s online sales platform beforehand. Virtually the entirety of Direct Liquidation’s marketplace is available to examine before signing up, including details of every single lot currently available to purchase. Transparency is Direct Liquidation’s byword, so if you’re unsure about signing up or simply curious to see what the company has to offer your business, you’re welcome to check out Direct Liquidation’s operation at your leisure.
