Buying Liquidated Lowe’s Pallets to Make More Money When Selling Homewares

Many retailers have discovered the advantages of buying some of the stock they sell from a top-tier liquidation business as opposed to a more traditional wholesale source, and it’s not hard to see why.

Over the last few years, a worrying and potentially damaging trend has emerged among wholesale suppliers – price parity. It used to be the case that wholesalers could offer their business customers reasonably large discounts on the merchandise they sourced from them. However, nowadays, you’re more likely to be offered a price that’s closer to the stock’s retail value, and that means one thing – fewer profits for your business.

So it’s no surprise that many retailers have started casting their nets a little wider to combat the rise in wholesale prices. As we’ve already mentioned, many have started sourcing some of their stock from online liquidation marketplaces. And in the case of home improvement retailers, there’s an exciting new way to source customer return pallets from one of the country’s biggest names in home improvement – Lowe’s.

Where To Buy Lowe’s Customer Returns

For retailers dealing in home improvement merchandise who are looking for a reliable source of Lowe’s customer returns wholesale, Direct Liquidation has recently teamed up with this giant of the home improvement world, offering Lowe’s a platform on Direct Liquidation’s online liquidation marketplace where Lowe’s can sell its unwanted customer returns to home improvement retail businesses such as yours.

Every year, customers bring back thousands of products they’ve bought from Lowe’s stores in the States, Canada, and Mexico for a wide variety of reasons ranging from the product not working to so-called ‘buyer’s remorse’. Whatever the reason, these customer returns present Lowe’s with a bit of a problem.

By law, companies cannot label customer returns as new products despite the fact that in a large number of cases, that’s exactly what they are. Lowe’s is neither a discounter nor a dealer in second-hand goods, so these returns end up not back on the company’s store shelves, but on its warehouse shelves. This is space that could be being used to stock new products Lowe’s actually wants to sell. Shelf space is not infinite, so these returns must be disposed of as quickly as possible.

That’s where Direct Liquidation steps in. Lowe’s trusts Direct Liquidation to provide it with a tried and trusted platform where the company can reach home improvement retailers and sell them pallets or truckloads of cheap wholesale merchandise in the form of top-quality customer returns.

And because Lowe’s is prepared to take a hit on the price it receives for the customer returns it wishes to dispose of speedily and efficiently, it means the liquidated stock it sells through Direct Liquidation’s site are considerably cheaper than business customers will find elsewhere.

And buying pallets of customer returns wholesale from Direct Liquidation couldn’t be easier. Each Lowe’s pallet is sold via live auction on Direct Liquidation’s site under the following categories:

General Merchandise

Home

Home Improvement

Patio & Garden

Pallets or truckloads of Lowe’s liquidated stock can be bought by entering bids when each lot goes up for auction. If that’s not the way you like to do business, many of the lots Direct Liquidation advertises on its site are also available to buy at a fixed price via each lot’s ‘Buy It Now’ button. Or you can approach Direct Liquidation with an offer. They’re happy to listen to any offers, and customers may find there are even greater savings to be made this way.

Once you’ve bought a pallet of Lowe’s customer returns, you’ll find shipping it to your desired location a breeze as Direct Liquidation’s network of distribution centers are located across the United States and Canada in SC, AR, IN, KY and Ontario.

But there is something else to bear in mind. Lowe’s also specializes in selling large items such as doors, timber, windows, and tools. This could be especially useful for business customers living in the east of the country because, if they arrange their own transport, they can get their hands on large volumes of this type of stock and ship it to their location of choice at a low price as they are much closer to Direct Liquidation’s distribution centers than customers in the Western United States who may find the cost of shipping such bulky items prohibitive.

The Advantages Of Buying Lowe’s Customer Returns From Direct Liquidation

There are clear advantages to sourcing Lowe’s returns from Direct Liquidation than from smaller scale liquidation companies or traditional wholesalers. For example, unlike these small-scale operations, Direct Liquidation does not cherry-pick the pallets of stock it handles, which is a problem many businesses encounter when buying from smaller scale operations. Oftentimes, the problem is compounded by downright lies on the manifest, meaning an unsuspecting reseller buys a pallet of goods in good faith, but when it turns up it’s had all the good stuff creamed off the top and is basically a pile of unsellable items.

Instead, you’ll find pallets or truckloads of untested customer returns that will be exactly as described on the manifests available to view on each Lowe’s lot advertised on Direct Liquidation’s site. Each pallet of returns will contain a good mix of products that can be sold at various price points to a wide range of customers.

And because it’s stock coming from the second largest home improvement retailer in the United States, it means you’ll find merchandise made by some of the biggest manufacturers in the home improvement business, names like Bosch, Black & Decker, and DeWalt.
