F.A.Q.
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I get a catalog?
I can't tell you how many times we've heard this question. :-)
Picture everything a department store or grocery store carries. Sooner or later what you just
pictured comes through on the different loads- but the situation is, each truckload comes
mixed and most are not manifested.
Do you have an e-mail list? How do I find
out about your deals?
We have a Truckloads Available page on our website where we list when the
next loads are available, and you can sign-up for our Yahoo Groups e-mail list on
the bottom of both the homepage and the Truckloads Available page.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Bank Wires only. :-)
WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS.
So what kind of merchandise do we carry?
We have mixed loads of department store or grocery store salvage! Salvage merchandise is anything that has been exchanged, returned,
or shelf-pulled for any reason. Depending on the load- these loads will occasionally have some items
that are missing accessories, items that are in need of repair, items in open
packages or out of the original packaging, items may be close dated or even out
of date. Please remember our
policy though- no matter what it is-- ALL MERCHANDISE IS SOLD "AS IS, WHERE IS."
There are no warranties expressed or implied with the loads or individual items
in the loads.
Can I come and see the loads before I buy
them?
Unfortunately, the store's reclamation centers are not open for
personal tours; however, some loads such as the K loads and S loads may have
manifests available.
What are your hours?
We're open Tuesday - Friday 10am-4pm EST.
Do you guys ship?
Absolutely. If you're looking for a truckload quote, just call or
e-mail
us with the kind of merchandise you're wanting and your zip code.
Please remember to provide us
with the following info:
Your Name:
Phone Number:
Zip Code:
Kind of loads you're wanting a quote on:
Is this your warehouse address?
Do you have a dock and pallet jack (or forklift)?
I sell on eBay- do you have anything that
will sell well on eBay?
The internet is an awesome tool for moving merchandise. It's very easy to
sell high dollar, collectible and easily shippable items on there- but rarely do
we have any loads that are strictly eBayable. Most of our customers do have
accounts on eBay, BUT they also use multiple avenues to move their items. For
example, the Ipod they got in their truckload they'll list online, but the
pot and pan set they'll sell at the flea market. The Xbox game they'll sell
online, but the SpongeBob doll they'll sell through their yard sale. The
Monster's Inc. doll they'll list online, but the stainless steel trash can
they'll move through their local auction. So the answer is yes, but we suggest
you don't make eBay your only source for reselling.
How much money can I make on a truckload?
Most of our customers look to at least double their money on the merchandise
they buy from us. I've heard about them making a lot more, but what it comes
down to is that you do have to work this business. This is not a get rich
quick scheme. If you don't plan on working, this is not the business for you. When
buying this kind of merchandise, you have to check it out and prepare for
selling it... then you have to find the right place to sell it to maximize your
return. Most of our customers do a combination of two or more of the following
businesses:
1. Retail Stores
2. Pawn Shops
3. eBay
4. Flea Markets
5. Yard Sales
5. Local Auctions
6. Craft Shows
Obviously some items will sell better and bring more money back than others.
It's up to you to find the best avenue to resell your merchandise.
Your price for salvage groceries is pretty
good- can I
buy in smaller amounts?
In buying the salvage groceries- we're shipping them
direct from the reclamation center. Since we're dealing direct, we have a great
price on groceries, but the drawback is that the smallest amount they will ship
is a 53' truck (1,248 boxes). To get around that, some of our grocery customers
have gotten together with their friends and ordered a truckload and had it split
between two delivery locations. That is possible to do, but the shipping is a
little more expensive. You can call us at 803-643-0606 for a delivery quote.
Please have the zip codes of the delivery spots available when you call. Also
when buying groceries- you'll need to fax us a copy of your state, local or
county salvage license- this can usually be obtained through your State's
Agricultural Department.
Can I get a discount for buying more than
one truckload?
Once in a while there will be certain loads that we are closing out that
we'll give a better price on for quantity purchases, but we'll tell you about
those when you call.
Can I get a truckload on consignment?
Some people have actually asked us this question. The answer is an obvious NO.
All merchandise is to be paid for before the shipping gets scheduled.
I'm concerned about sending
someone this amount of money that I've never ordered from before- do you have
any references?
For any customer placing an order with
us- we'll gladly send over the contact information of the bank and branch
manager that we have been
dealing with for years- just ask.
What is your return policy?
ALL MERCHANDISE IS SOLD "AS IS, WHERE
IS." There are no exchanges or refunds
for any reason whatsoever. There are no warranties expressed or implied with any
of the loads or items within the loads that we sell.
