If you run a hardware retail business and you’re on the lookout for a cheap and reliable source of wholesale merchandise for your business, you may be interested to know that you can actually get your hands on lots of top-quality Lowe’s products at a fraction of their retail value. How so? By purchasing truckloads of Lowe’s customer returns from liquidation auctions held by a top-tier liquidator such as Direct Liquidation.

Why Lowe’s Returns?

Lowe’s, around since 1946,  has more than 2220 stores throughout the US, almost double the number 15 years ago. Lowe’s is estimated to have 18 million customers per week, driving more than $70 Billion in sales in 2019.

A typical Lowe’s-branded home improvement store stocks approximately 39,000 items. This means that when sourcing liquidated hardware and tools, by choosing Lowe’s, you’re working with an established household name, with a massive supply of different items. This isn’t your average local small business, with limited stock.

Lowe’s stocks all the top names in hardware, tools and home improvement supplies, and as a result has seen near uninterrupted year-on-year growth, opening new stores and seeing sales rise. You should take this to mean that the stock Lowe’s carries is popular, saleable and sought after by a growing number of people- All good statistics when you’re deciding on where to source your liquidated goods from.

The continued growth and expansion into new markets also mean more customer returns. Lowe’s packs these up, and sends them over to Direct Liquidation, where we then list Lowe’s home improvement returns, from the pallet to the truckload for anyone to purchase. You’ll find everything from fixtures and fittings to power and hand tools to home appliances, returned for a variety of reasons.

What Are Lowe’s Returns?

Every year, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, customers return thousands of items to Lowe’s stores for a wide variety of reasons. Some customers find the items they purchase don’t work when they get them out of the box. Others regret their purchases for financial or other reasons and hand the items back. Others discover slight or visible damage to otherwise working items and swap them out. Lowe’s sees returns of appliances that won’t fit where they were intended to, over-ordered flooring or wall coverings, and decor. There are also returned tools that were unwanted gifts, and over-ordered building supplies. These are all items in great condition, ready for resale, and are liquidated alongside more damaged items.

Whatever the reason for a customer to return an item, these returns present Lowe’s with a considerable logistical headache. No longer legally allowed to describe as brand new what can in many cases be new, these returns have to go somewhere. That somewhere is on the valuable warehouse shelf spaces the company has throughout the country.

Lowe’s is not a discounter. If it were, it would clear space to sell these returns at discounted prices in their stores. But that store shelf space is more valuable to Lowe’s if it’s filled with brand new products Lowe’s can at sell full price. So, what does the company do with a mountain of returns it does not want, but still wants to see at least some financial return on?

The answer is it turns to a top-tier liquidator such as Direct Liquidation, who offers Lowe’s a space on its online liquidation marketplace to sell its returns to business customers for a considerably reduced price via Lowe’s liquidation auctions.

This is where your opportunity comes in. Once you’ve got your hands on these pallets of returned stock, you need to sort out the contents. What items are already good to go for resale? What items simply need repackaging, where appropriate? You need to test out any tools, to make sure they are working, and if not, how can they be repaired. When buying liquidation pallets in bulk, or by the truckload, there is a good chance of duplicated items, that can be used as parts donors, allowing you to create as many fully-working products as you can.

The more fully working products you have to sell, the greater your profits could be. Even items that don’t work, and you can’t replace, can still be sold on – a quick look on sites like eBay show a wide market for not-working tools, hardware, and appliances. Someone somewhere is always looking for parts, and you might just have them.

You can even sell off the parts yourself – working battery packs from drills, charging cables, elements, lights and handles from appliances, all are in demand by somebody. The more you put into maximizing your profits, the better the returns you’ll see. This is what you put into it, and where your money comes from. Making money using returns isn’t as straightforward as stocking and selling brand-new items, but the initial outset is cheaper, and the scope for a good profit margin is higher for this same reason.

This is also why buying in bulk gives you the best chances, if you have the storage space. Not only are you likely to get more of the same items, but also you’ll save on relative shipping costs. If it costs less per-unit to ship, then that reduces the amount you need to make per-unit to see a profit.
