Where Can I Buy Open-Box Customer Returns Online?
If you run a retail business, you’ll no doubt always be on the lookout for new sources of good-quality branded and unbranded stock that you can purchase for a price that won’t break the bank but will increase your chances of making a decent profit.
Back in the day, this usually meant buying from a reliable local supplier, but as their prices become less and less attractive, where else can you go, and what should you be buying? One source you might be interested in investigating is so-called ‘open-box’ customer returns. You’ll find these being offered for sale on behalf of national retailers such as Walmart and Target on the online liquidation sales platforms of top-tier liquidation specialists such as Direct Liquidation.
So, what exactly are open box returns, where can you buy them from and how can they help your business make money? Let’s take a look.
What Are Open-Box Returns?
Every year, customers bring back thousands of items to stores for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is the customers have subsequently changed their minds about their purchases and therefore decide to return them either to exchange the products for something else, or for a refund. No longer able to classify these returns as new merchandise, the big national retailers instead look to offload them as quickly as they can so they don’t take up vital retail space in their stores, or shelf space in their warehouses.
Unlike other types of customer returns, open-box returns are brand-new products that are in perfect working order. There may be superficial damage to the packaging, but that’s about it. They are therefore very attractive to resellers looking to get their hands on ‘as new’ stock at a fraction of its retail value.
How Open-Box Returns Can Benefit Your Business
Buying pallets or truckloads of open-box customer returns is a great way of acquiring lots of ‘as new’, top-quality stock coming direct from big name retailers. Sold via live auctions or for a fixed or negotiated price via a top-tier liquidator’s online liquidation marketplace, you’ll find open-box returns being sold for a lot less than each pallet’s MSRP value.
On a top-tier liquidator such as Direct Liquidation’s online sales platform, you’ll find open-box customer returns being offered for sale from some of the country’s biggest and most-trusted retail names – Amazon, Target, Lowe’s Hardware and Walmart.
What does this mean? Well, in a nutshell it means you’ll find ‘as new’ products coming from some of the world’s biggest and most trusted manufacturers, companies such as Apple, LEGO, Black & Decker, Microsoft, Samsung, BOSCH, LG, Google and HP. You’ll also find open-box products from the big-name retailers’ own brands such as Amazon Basics, Mainstays and Blackweb.
The prices you’ll pay for all these great-quality branded and unbranded open-box products mean you’ll be able to charge your customers a range of attractively low prices. You’ll be able to attract new customers who have been drawn to those low prices. And you’ll keep your competitors at bay. Best of all, you’ll have plenty of room to make a profit when sourcing your merchandise this way.
Open-box customer returns are a fantastic way to stock your business with great quality products at a price you simply won’t find anywhere else. And because you’re buying wholesale from some of the biggest names in US retail via a liquidator’s site, you’ll also have the peace of mind of knowing you won’t fall foul of unscrupulous practices such as altered manifests and pallet cherry-picking – common problems encountered by many who choose to source from other suppliers instead of Better Business Bureau-accredited top-tier liquidation companies such as Direct Liquidation.
When you buy from an online liquidation marketplace, what you see is very much what you get. And what you get is great-quality open-box customer returns at a fantastic low price.
