How it works, excess & obsolete inventory, from your dock to a documented check

Five steps from your back racks to a monthly statement.

Here's the whole process: you palletize what's stuck, no manifest, no itemized list, and ship it. We receive, sort, scan, and list every item, sell it through our established resale channels, and send you a monthly itemized statement: every item, what it sold for, every expense, in writing. You get paid monthly. Nothing upfront. This page walks each step from your side of the dock.

You can start with a single pallet. One 15-minute call tells you whether it's worth shipping.

The five steps

What happens at every step, from your side of the dock.

The overview fits in a sentence; the trust is in the detail. At each step below: what's asked of you, what we take on, and what you see when the step is done.

Tell us what's stuck

It starts with a 15-minute call: what you have, roughly how much, and how long it's been sitting. If you can pull an aging report from P21, Epicor, or whatever runs your counter, bring it, the 365+ column usually tells us everything we need. No prep beyond that, and no commitment attached.

You doOne phone call. An aging report if you have it.
We doListen, and ask about the racks.
You seeWhether this is worth a pallet, before anything moves.

We tell you what's worth shipping

Straight guidelines, not a pitch. Some stock sells well; some isn't worth the freight, big, low-priced items like ladders, and we'll say so before you touch a pallet. Telling you what to leave on the rack is part of the job: you should only ever ship stock that's worth sending.

You doNothing yet.
We doA straight list: ship this, keep that.
You seeExactly what's leaving the building, and why.

Palletize, we'll take care of the truck

No manifest, no itemized list, no counting. Stack what's stuck on pallets, mixed SKUs are fine, and we take care of the freight from there: we arrange the truck and schedule the pickup. If trucking is the thing that's kept this inventory in place for a year, it stops being your job here. Want to be involved in the freight process? You're welcome to be, but nothing about it needs you.

The day the pallets leave your dock, the floor space is already yours again.

You doStack pallets. Open the dock door.
We doArrange the truck. Schedule the pickup.
You seeEmpty racking, that afternoon.

We receive, sort, scan, and list every item

Your pallets land in our warehouse, and the counting becomes our job. Every item is received, sorted, scanned, and listed for sale at retail through our established resale channels, outside your trade channel, away from your counter. Your customers never see it.

You doNothing.
We doReceiving, sorting, scanning, listing, selling.
You seeYour floor space, back in service.

You get a monthly itemized statement, and you get paid monthly

Every month your inventory is selling, a statement lands: every item, what it sold for, and every expense from the prior month, in writing. You get paid monthly, for as long as your stock keeps selling. No mystery, no chasing, no lump-sum guesswork, the paper trail is the point.

You doRead one statement a month.
We doDocument every sale and every expense.
You seeEvery item and what it sold for.

The paper trail

What's on the monthly statement.

A liquidator hands you one blind check and the story ends there. This works the other way: every month your inventory is selling, you get a document you could hand your controller, every item that sold, what it sold for, and every expense from the period, line by line.

That's the answer to the question you should ask anyone who takes your inventory: how will I know what actually happened to it? Here, you'll read it, monthly, in writing, for as long as it sells.

Fair warning

We won't take everything, and you want it that way.

Step two exists because some inventory shouldn't ship. Big, low-priced stock, ladders are the classic, costs more to move than it will ever bring back, and we'll tell you that before you touch a pallet. A company that says yes to everything is telling you it hasn't thought about what happens after the truck leaves.

The guidelines are the proof the model is real: you only ship what's worth shipping, and everything that ships gets accounted for.

Before you ask

The questions distributors ask about the process.

Q1Do I need to ship my inventory?+

Yes, it sells from our warehouse, not yours. You palletize it and we take care of the freight: we arrange the truck and schedule the pickup, and if you'd like to be involved in the freight process, you can be. That's also the moment your floor space comes back: the day it leaves, the racking is yours again.

Q2Do we have to inventory it first?+

No. There's no manifest to build and no itemized list to send. Stack what's stuck on pallets and ship it, the receiving, sorting, and scanning is our job on our side, and every item still ends up accounted for on your statement.

Q3What happens to my inventory after it ships?+

It's received, sorted, scanned, and listed for sale at retail through our established resale channels, outside your trade channel, away from your counter. Your customers never see it, and every sale shows up on your monthly itemized statement.

Q4When will I be paid?+

Monthly. Every month your inventory is selling, you get paid, alongside an itemized statement of every sale and every expense from the prior month, in writing, for as long as it keeps selling.

Q5What if some of it isn't worth shipping?+

Then we'll tell you before you touch a pallet. Some items don't justify the freight, big, low-priced stock like ladders, and straight guidelines on what to leave behind are part of step two. You should only ever send stock that's worth sending.

The next 15 minutes

You've seen every step. Start with one pallet.

The shortest version of the whole model: send one pallet of write-offs, stock the books already took the hit on, and read the statement that comes back. Every item, what it sold for, every expense, in writing. Decide with the paper in your hand. If the number's real, you send more.
