Liquidation Pallets

Every lot in this category ships LTL from our warehouse in Dalton, Georgia, to all 50 states, or you collect it from the dock by appointment. Liquidation pallets are bulk lots of customer returns, shelf pulls and overstock from big-box retailers, sold here by the pallet or the full truckload at a buy-now price or by auction to bin stores, flea-market sellers, online resellers and discount shops. In stock as of 8 October: 83 lots, from $250 to $23,950.

What a lot costs once it reaches you

Most single pallets here sit between $500 and $2,500. Electronics and single-brand lots are at the top of that range, mixed general merchandise at the bottom, and truckloads start at $6,500. Prices are FOB Dalton, GA, so freight comes on top: standard freight on one pallet is $25 to the Southeast, $45 to the East and Midwest, $65 to the central and mountain states and $85 to the West Coast, express runs $50 to $110, and checkout shows the rate for your state before you pay. The add-ons are what catch first-time buyers out: a liftgate adds $65, residential delivery with a liftgate $160, and a limited-access address such as a storage unit $50. Standard LTL takes 3 to 7 business days.

Returns, shelf pulls and overstock, and what each means here

Brand new and overstock stock was never sold and is still in its packaging. Shelf pulls sat on a store shelf and came off unsold, so boxes can be worn or carry clearance stickers. Customer returns came back from shoppers and run from new in an opened box to used or not working. Every listing says which it is. Manifested lots come with a line-by-line list that can be off by up to 5 percent; unmanifested lots cost less. We don’t open pallets to take the better pieces out first.

Where a pallet can let you down

Customer returns are the gamble. Some items won’t power on and some are missing parts, cables or chargers. Truckloads arrive as 20 to 48 pallets or gaylords, which needs a dock or a forklift at your end. Everything is sold as-is, except a pallet that arrives 30 percent or more damaged, where we refund the damaged share. Any lot can also be returned within 7 days of delivery or pickup for a 10 percent restocking fee: unopened for any reason, with you paying the return freight, or opened if it isn’t what you ordered, with us paying the return freight.

Our loads come from Amazon, Target and Home Depot return and overstock streams, with brands like DeWALT, Milwaukee, Apple and Nike in them. Those names say where the stock came from; we aren’t affiliated with any of them.
