Buying Walmart Closeouts And Overstock By The Pallet Is Easier Than You Think

Last Updated: March 1st, 2020

With traditional wholesalers no longer able to offer the kinds of prices they used to – indeed, often offering prices that are closer to retail prices than wholesale ones – it’s no wonder retailers are looking around for alternative sources to purchase the goods they need for their businesses.

In a lot of cases, retailers are turning to top-tier liquidation companies, and it’s not hard to see why. Top-tier liquidators work in partnership with some of the country’s biggest retailers such as Target, Walmart, and Lowes, providing resellers with a platform where they can buy customer returns, overstock and closeouts at a vastly reduced price.

The advantage of sourcing stock from these types of online wholesale suppliers is clear. You’re getting top quality merchandise made by some of the world’s leading manufacturers, coming from some of the most trusted names in US retail. And because the big-name retail companies wish to dispose of their closeouts, customer returns and overstock quickly, they’re happy to take a hit on cost, meaning you’ll find a huge selection of top-quality merchandise being sold on a liquidator’s online liquidation marketplace at a fraction of its retail value.

So, how easy is it to buy pallets of stock from a liquidation business? Well, let’s take a look at buying Walmart liquidations, in particular, closeouts and overstock.

What are Closeouts and Overstock?

At first sight, closeouts and overstock might appear to be the same thing, but there are differences. They are as follows.

Closeouts

‘Closeouts’ is the term used to describe stock that Walmart wishes to dispose of for a number of reasons. Merchandise that comes under the umbrella of ‘closeouts’ includes seasonal goods that take up valuable warehouse space once the season comes to a close; stock that needs to be disposed of so that a retailer has enough space in its stores and warehouses for newer products; stock that is being disposed of as Walmart is closing one of its stores, and certain lines of customer returns.

Overstock

As its name suggests, ‘overstock’ is product Walmart has over-ordered. Not even a company of the size and complexity of Walmart has a crystal ball, and therefore they have no way of accurately predicting how many units of a particular line of product they’ll sell.

Once newer lines of products are released, or Walmart needs shelf space for seasonal promotions, for example, overstocked merchandise must be sacrificed, and therefore the company looks to a liquidation business to handle its sale to businesses such as yours.
