Wholesale Home Improvement

Home improvement liquidations come in many types of conditions. Here are a few of them:

Overstock Closeouts

Sometimes, home improvement stores like Lowe’s order far more products than they end up selling. When that happens, they need to get rid of the surplus so that they can make room in their warehouses for new stock that comes in. When they do, we call that an overstock closeouts sale.

Lowes Scratch and Dent Appliances

Scratch and dent appliances from Lowe’s are usually customer returns. Customers returns are no longer classified as brand new. In fact, they are considered second-hand goods. Since scratch and dent cannot be sold new at Lowe’s, they get sold to merchandise retailers for pennies on the dollar. As long as the goods are not completely defective, they are usually in good condition. That means they are worth buying, worth selling, and worth using.

Reconditioned Merchandise

In some cases, the reason for a customer return is that the product is damaged or defective. When that happens, the product gets repaired so that it is in a usable condition once more. There are various levels of refurbishment, some of which look as good as new. Other levels may have some cosmetic imperfections, but no matter how it may look, the merchandise liquidator will make sure that it works perfectly.

Lowes Returns

Lowe’s returns mostly from their e-commerce platforms and online selling channels. Since they are separate and apart from store operations, they must handle their returns in a separate way. To remain competitive, retailers have made their online return policies more attractive to reduce the hesitation of online buyers when they go to check out. For this reason, dot com returns are in better shape than regular customer returns.

Home Depot Shelf Pulls

Home Depot shelf pulls are items that were already exposed for sale at the store. Since these goods were “pulled” from the store shelf, they are typically new and have never been used. In general, you should expect to have some checking work to do as well as minor cleaning and removing price tags before reselling the items. Shelf Pulls will typically be in good selling condition and may have some or all the following characteristics:

• End of season and seasonal goods

• Discontinued goods

• Items may still have their original retail pricing stickers/tags on them

• Items may have additional retail discount tags on them

• Packaging or item may show signs of handling

• Exterior packaging is often in less than perfect condition

• Maybe defaced/de-labeled (inner labels or tags removed to prevent a return to the original store)

• Some items may still have retail security sensors attached

• A percentage of the items may be out-of-box or in open boxes

• A percentage of the items may be in-store display units or samples

• Short-dated or expired goods may be found in some lots

Liquidation conditions may vary, but they are all guaranteed to work as intended. On the highest level, the merchandise is brand new and box-fresh. Even on the lower end, you are still sure to get a working product. These are the different levels of product quality you can expect from a merchandise liquidator:

Brand New

As the name says, these products are new, still in their original packaging, and have never been opened or used. These products are usually the result of overstocking or closeouts, which is why they are still new. These are the best deals because you are getting a brand new product at a price that is well below the retail standard, a fact that customers are sure to appreciate and enjoy as well. They will also enjoy the fact the manufacturer’s warranty still applies to these products.

Like New

In this case, the packaging has been opened and the merchandise may have been handled, but it is still in excellent condition and shows no signs of wear and tear. The only difference between Like New and Brand New is that the packaging of the former has been opened, and in some cases, maybe slightly damaged. However, this has no bearing on the quality of the product within that package.

Grade A Refurbishment

First of all, refurbishment grades are there to give you a guideline of the quality of the refurbished product. It gives you an idea of the level of visual defects on the product, as well as how often it was used by the previous owner. Refurbished products are guaranteed to work, they just do not look like they are brand new. As you would expect, Grade A refurbishment is the highest level, and it means that the product is in near-mint condition. There will be slight signs of usage, but there will be a minimal amount of cosmetic imperfections.

Grade B Refurbishment

Products at this level will show more signs of use and have slightly more blemishes than Grade A refurbished merchandise. You won’t see any big dents or signs of rust or anything quite so severe, however, there will be clear signs of use by the previous owner. Grade B refurbished products cost less than Grade A products so they are a good option for people who want a working product without paying too much.

Grade C Refurbishment

This is the lowest level of refurbishment, and while Grade C products still work, they show more signs of wear and tear than the other levels. There will be more nicks, scuffs, scratches, and dents, but the product will still be in a usable condition. Since they are the lowest Grade, they are also the cheapest, so they are a great option for people whose sole concern is that the product works.
