📦 How should I prepare my goods for liquidation?
Properly preparing your inventory before liquidation helps streamline the process and can increase your potential return. Whether you're shipping customer returns, shelf pulls, or overstock, a little organization goes a long way.
📋 1. Sort and Consolidate
-
Group similar items together (e.g., electronics, apparel, tools)
-
Avoid mixing fragile with heavy or bulky items
-
Keep items in their original packaging when possible
📦 2. Choose the Right Shipping Format
We accept goods in various formats, but here’s what works best:
-
Gaylord boxes: Ideal for loose, varied goods
-
Shrink-wrapped pallets: Standard for large-volume inventory
-
Case-packed boxes: Great for new, shelf-ready merchandise
-
Mixed pallets: Acceptable, especially for general merchandise
If you’re unsure, we’ll advise you during the review process.
📑 3. Include Manifests (If Available)
-
While not required, manifests help us sell your goods faster and more efficiently
-
Include basic details if available, like product name, quantity, UPC, and condition
-
You can upload them during the “Get Started” process
🧼 4. Remove Sensitive Labels or Branding
-
Take off price tags, store labels, or barcodes that could reveal original retail channels
-
We can also assist with this step during processing if needed, just ask when you speak to a team member
📷 5. Add Photos (Optional, but Encouraged)
-
Photos can help us evaluate and present your lot more effectively
-
Include shots of the entire pallet, close-ups of item condition, and packaging
- If you add photos, we can sell your lot much faster than having to take them later
🛠️ 6. Make It Shippable
-
Reinforce damaged boxes
-
Label each pallet or case clearly (if applicable)
-
Secure goods tightly to avoid shifting during transit
