Sourcing closeout and liquidation wholesale suppliers is a great way for retailers to purchase merchandise on a budget. Many of these companies get their products from retailers that are going out of business, from unwanted customer returns, or shelf pulls — ultimately offering you the best deal for these cheaply-sourced items. 


What Are Wholesale Liquidators?

Wholesale liquidators are suppliers who have large amounts of surplus wholesale merchandise. Many quality liquidators work with name brand retailers to purchase their extra inventory at low rates. This extra merchandise can be from customer returns, seasonal changes, overstocks, or imperfect qualities. Liquidators handle the items major retailers no longer wish to sell.

Liquidators purchase this excess inventory in very large quantities. These companies typically have warehouses to accommodate many pallets and truckloads or products. Retailers then buy these pallets and truckloads of merchandise at rates well below regular wholesale.

The quality of products can range from brand-new to like-new, returns, all the way to salvaged merchandise. Returns and salvaged merchandise can offer small businesses the best value and largest margins if you can put more effort into repairing and repackaging products. Brand-new products and like-new products are a perfect fit for sellers who want their merchandise to be retail ready with little to no effort.


What Are Closeout Suppliers?

Closeout suppliers are very similar to liquidation suppliers. They have a limited and large amount of a particular product they are looking to sell at a highly discounted rate. Similar to liquidators, closeout merchandise is usually overstock or out-of-season merchandise.

Closeout and liquidation suppliers are a critical resource for small retailers. Having competitive prices is crucial to your business. Sourcing from closeouts and liquidations allows you to purchase in-demand goods at rates way below regular wholesale, which you can then resell at price points below your competitors, without sacrificing your profit margins.
