Wholesale is much more reliable and the goods you receive will have a paper trail DIRECTLY to the manufacturer. Remember, wholesale is NOT the same as liquidation. Wholesalers typically don't worry about having a 'front of shop' presence since they can sell to companies that do and capitalize on economies of scale (smaller margins but large orders). Wholesalers then resell to other companies who have storefronts to move the products for them.

They are also able to optimize their shipping by selling to wholesalers across the country or world instead of shipping from one or few centralized locations. Manufacturers benefit from wholesale companies storing their products. The difference between wholesale sourcing and direct from retail sourcing is the middle man, the wholesaler who purchases items, warehouses them and sells them for others to resell.

The only downside to this is lower margins but the plus side you can get extremely popular products that sell quickly and have large companies spending a fortune marketing them FOR YOU.Īlso, many brands are gated to other sellers so if you get a direct source and direct brand approval, you can crush them. Suspensions are nearly impossible and in the event that you do get suspended for an inauthentic claim, you'll have a perfect invoice to provide to prove that you're right and the customer is wrong 🙂 It doesn't get much better than buying the product straight from the source. Also, if you're a liquidator, consider these safer alternatives to liquidation. If you're a liquidator or source from one, please don't take this as a dig at your business. How do you know if a product is not functioning or maybe covered in blood because it was used in a murder unless you opened the box and checked (kidding again, seeing if you're awake). When you get a pallet of liquidation goods or receive hundreds at a time, stacked on top of each other, outside of the original factory seal and wrapping, it's difficult to really know if something has possible issues. While I am well aware than many customer complaints are in fact exaggerations, misunderstandings, issues in shipping (not the seller) or just flat out lies, I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice that liquidators and thrifters were getting far more of these complaints than their peers who purchase the products from wholesalers or more legitimate sources NOT as liquidation lots. I have seen on countless occasions sellers receive 'incomplete' or 'wrong item' complaints when they were certain the product was as described.

Yes, you absolutely shouldn't buy products that you see are damaged, but it's difficult to tell what the full story is on each item. You may be thinking, ' Well if it's broken or damaged, I just won't buy it! Problem solved!' This isn't of course always the case, but its absolutely a reasonable assumption to make and at scale, you're bound to experience some very neglected and haphazardly handled products. Liquidation goods can be off quality for a number of reasons.įirst, the liquidators are not likely to care about the quality of the goods anymore ESPECIALLY the ones in boxes.
