CUSTOMER RETURNS
Customer Returns are items that were once sold from the store (or website) and are then returned by the consumer in varying conditions.
Sometimes also referred to as Salvage Goods, Customer Returns are typically items that have been purchased from a store (or online store) but then returned by a customer.
Stores have varying individual return policies as well as product liquidation policies, which can affect the type & condition of products you may see in varying loads. Though policy will vary from store to store – the Large Majority of Customer return goods simply undergo a cursory visual check at the store level prior to making their way into a return load. Higher value items may be subject to more thorough inspection prior to being selected for liquidation.
The general “quality” of customer return loads can vary significantly from program to program, and it is common that some programs may have a 50% or greater Defective rate while others are only 10% or 20%. Return loads with low defective rates are sometimes referred to as “Clean” Customer Return Loads. Return Loads with very high defective rates are at times referred to as Salvage Loads.
CUSTOMER RETURNS CHARACTERISTICS:
Purchasing department store returns is not for everyone. This is not a ‘get rich quick’ scheme. The payoffs are high for those prepared to work hard and put effort in their purchases in order to create the highest possible return on investment. This is a “get-rich” slowly scheme with hard work, dedication & creativity.
In order to maximize your success with this type of merchandise, you need to be prepared to process, test, check, and research pricing on the goods prior to selling them. In the long term (and over several purchases), most people in this industry agree that the payoffs and returns are very profitable and that the long-term risk is generally minimal. Liquidation goods and customer returns are normally priced accordingly, and allow you to profit handsomely while still offering your own customers excellent deals on items.
NEW OVERSTOCKS
New Overstocks are items that were never exposed for sale in a retail setting though they may no longer be in their original master case or factory packaging.
New overstocks, also often referred to as Closeouts, tend to be goods which typically have never been merchandised or exposed for sale in a retail store.

SHELF PULLS
Shelf pulls are items that were already exposed for sale in a retail environment but have been “pulled” from the shelfs and chosen to be liquidated by the store. These goods are typically New and have never been used.
Shelf pulls are typically excess goods that have been displayed for sale in a store or online but have never been purchased by a customer.
Sell Pulls CHARACTERISTICS:
Shelf pulls are typically considered excess inventory from store shelves. In the vast majority of cases, shelf pulls require much less work than customer returns in terms of testing and repairing, but you should expect to have some checking work to do as well as cleaning off potentially dusty items and removing price tags (if necessary) before reselling the items.
Shelf pulls would have been handled multiple times during the process of getting them from the store back to a Liquidator, & a small % of items may show signs of excessive handling & may have stains or slight imperfections.
