Where Do Retailers Sell Their Holiday Customer Returns?

Retailers sell on their customer returns by the pallet and truckload through online liquidation marketplaces, such as Direct Liquidation.

It’s Christmas, and for resellers that means wholesalers will soon be offering holiday customer returns as thousands upon thousands of products are brought back after the festive season comes to a close. There was a time when traditional local wholesalers were the ideal source for seasonal merchandise, but within many of them now offering prices that are close to retail prices these days, resellers can no longer rely on them to make a profit.

So, where is the best place to get your hands on holiday customer returns that won’t cost the earth, that will be of the very best quality and will ensure your business continues to make a healthy profit going into the new year? The answer is to source holiday returns from a Better Business Bureau-accredited online liquidation specialist such as Direct Liquidation.

A Different Kind Of Wholesaler

So, what is an online liquidation specialist? Unlike a traditional new-item wholesaler, which works directly with manufacturers to supply smaller businesses with stock, by buying items in bulk, allowing you to purchase smaller quantities, a liquidator works directly with some of the country’s biggest retail names and manufacturers, offering these industry giants a route through which they can sell their unwanted holiday merchandise at a reduced price. At Direct Liquidation, we acquire these items in large lots, and break them down into pallets or truckloads, which a small business or individual can purchase.

Every Christmas, the biggest retailers in the United States such as Target, Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon take back thousands and thousands of seasonal purchases for a number of reasons. No manufacturer knocks it out of the park every time, which means it’s inevitable that some seasonal purchases will be found to be faulty and are brought back for a refund or an exchange. Other products are found to be superficially or very visibly damaged and are, again, returned to the stores. And then of course there are unwanted gifts or gifts such as clothing that turn out not to fit.

Whatever the reasons for products being returned, the sheer volume of them presents the retailers with a considerable logistical headache. Retailers choose to liquidate a large portion of their returned stock, even products that are returned unopened. These Christmas returns would take up huge amounts of space in the retailers’ warehouses were a solution to disposing of them not found quickly.

The solution to the problem is liquidators. Online liquidations specialists operate liquidation websites, offering a route through which the big-name retailers can sell their unwanted holiday returns to resellers in either boxloads, pallets or truckloads, depending on the amount of stock each customer requires.

Usually sold via live liquidation auction or for a fixed or negotiated price, these seasonal returns can be bought by resellers for a price they simply won’t find elsewhere, and that means they can be sold on for a very attractive price that will appeal to customers on a wide range of budgets while also keeping the competition at bay and, most importantly, driving up profits for your business.

A Huge Range Of Holiday Returns

You’ll find a massive range of seasonal stock available to buy after the holiday season on a top-tier liquidator’s online liquidation auction and sales marketplace. On Direct Liquidation’s online liquidation website, for example, you’ll find holiday merchandise being sold in the following categories:

Automotive, Baby, Books, Clothing, Shoes & Accessories, Electronics, Fixed Assets, Food, Furniture, General Merchandise, Health & Beauty, Home, Home Improvement, Industrial Supplies, Jewelry, Office, Party & Occasions, Patio & Garden, Pet Toys & Pet Supplies, Sports, Fitness & Outdoors, Toys, Unsorted.

As you can see, that’s a pretty comprehensive list of categories that’ll satisfy the restocking needs of most resellers. And within those categories, you’ll find a huge range of brand name products from some of the world’s most trusted manufacturers. You’ll find products from Apple, Microsoft, Fruit of the Loom, Disney, LEGO, Mattel, Google, Adidas, Bosch, HP, DeWalt, Samsung and much more.

You’ll also find great quality own brand holiday stock such as Amazon’s ever-popular Basics range and Walmart’s Mainstays homeware and Blackweb electronics brands. That’s good news for resellers looking to satisfy the needs of customers who are shopping on a much tighter budget who are looking for top-quality products that won’t break the bank.
