Most department stores or large stores have 'programs' which help them liquidate their 'salvage' goods. Such programs are commonly called 'Salvage Program', 'Liquidation Program', 'Asset Recovery', 'Reverse Supply Chain Management' etc. Basically all department stores will 'salvage' items which they choose to no longer sell in their stores.
These goods will include customer returns, shelf-pulls, mark-down items, out-of-season, discontinued items, in-store display items, overstocks etc.
Please visit our resource pages for more information about these types of goods and what to expect.
We always welcome phone calls, in-person visits or emails if you have any questions or comments.

We are able to offer you very competitive shipping quotes to any destination nationwide.
Depending on the "load" which you purchase, there is sometimes the option to reduce shipping costs, and "break down" the pallet into 2,3,4 or 5 large cartons which we will then ship using UPS or UPS Hundred Weight. This can sometimes reduce shipping costs especially when shipping to a residential address - though only some of our pallets can be shipped in this way.
Though Via Trading will arrange shipping for you - all claims should be made directly with the carrier. We are not responsible for freight rates, lost, delayed or merchandise damage due to shipping. All shipping quotes are given with no insurance unless specifically requested by the customer.
You are also free to arrange your own delivery, or point us out to companies that you have worked with before and who you would like to arrange delivery for you.
A manned forklift is available to help load the pallets at no charge.
Shipping costs depend on several factors such as:
*What & how many pallets/cases/loads you are purchasing
*Your address/where the merchandise is going
*Whether the delivery is to a HOME or to a COMMERCIAL location
Please click here to access our "Shipping Information" page that will give you detailed information about:
*Obtaining a shipping quote
*General shipping costs
*Shipping times
*Shipping methods
If we cannot ship the particular load using UPS or UPS Hundred Weight, we will ship the whole pallet. Your pallet should arrive to you completely covered with black shrink wrap. We always take care to pack as safely and efficiently as possible.
Most orders, unless otherwise specified, are shipped within 24 to 48 hours of payment. Most orders will reach their destination within 1 to 5 working days of being picked up from our warehouse.
International orders take 6-14 days to arrive if shipped by air, and 45-60 days if shipped by sea.
Yes.
We ship internationally on a daily basis. We can ship to almost any country in the world with merchandise arriving within 6-14 business days for air shipments and 45-60 days for sea shipments.
Please click here for information on international shipping rates and times.
We are open to the public 6 days a week (Mon-Fri from 7 am to 7 pm, Saturdays from 9 am to 5 pm). You are welcome to come to the warehouse anytime during business hours to view and inspect the merchandise before purchasing. No appointments necessary!

If you are in California and have a Reseller's Permit (not required for purchase), we will email you the link to a form which you will need to fill-out, sign and fax back to us along with your Resellers Certificate (first time only). A Reseller's Permit allows you to purchase merchandise from us without paying the 9.75% California Sales Tax at the time of purchase.
If you are a resident of California and do not have a re-seller's certificate, you can still purchase merchandise but you will be charged the standard Los Angeles County 9.75% Sales Tax on your order.
If you'd like to obtain a Reseller's Permit, please visit www.boe.ca.gov for more info on obtaining one.
You can also click here to access the phone numbers of all the Board of Equilization offices in California: http://www.boe.ca.gov/info/phone.htm
The only other form you will be required to fill out is our Conditions of Purchase document, which will be sent to you by email along with your invoice after you place your first order with us. This document outlines our conditions of sale and will require your signature and approval before we take payment on your order.
If you come purchase in person and are a resident of California, please bring your resale permit and photo ID with you. If you don't have a permit, you can still purchase but sales tax will apply.
If you are not a resident of California but are still coming to purchase in person, please bring a copy of your business license. You will need to fill out an "Out of State" form stating that you are taking the goods out of state for resale, and we will need to attach a copy of your out of state business license to that form.
Customers from Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah or Texas who come to purchase in person will need to bring in a copy of their state's reseller's permit in order to be exempt from sales tax. They will also need to complete the "Border States Uniform Sale for Resale Certificate" in order to be exempt from sales tax. This form will be provided in our office at the time of purchase.
While browsing our website, you will notice that our pricing works in two ways:
Pricing by the Piece and Pricing by the Pallet
On some listings like many of our case packs and some of our shoe pallets where an exact piece count is available, the price that you see next to the item is the PER PIECE price.
For instance, if an item looks like this:
On the left hand side you have the price per piece. In this instance, the price per piece is $0.75.
On the right hand side, we give you the quantity of items per box. In this case, there are 200 units/case.
Your total price for this box (not including shipping) is therefore: $0.75 x 200 = $150
If an item looks like this:
It means this is an item that we offer with volume price breaks. The more cases you order, the cheaper each case (and each piece) will be.
On the right hand side you see there are 250 units/case.
If you buy 1 case, your price per piece is $1.50 (x 250 units/case = $375 per case)
If you buy 2-3 cases, your price per piece goes down to $1.40 (x 250 units/case = $350 per case)
And so on.
It means there is no exact piece count inside the lot or pallet, and the pallet is sold at a flat price. In this case, 1 pallet costs $300 and we do not have an exact breakdown of how many units are inside each pallet.
If you have any further questions on our pricing, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime either by phone at 1-877-202-3616 or email sales@viatrading.com.
Customers can pay via Check*, Money Order, Bank Deposit, Wire Transfer, Pay Pal** and major credit card***.
*Check must clear before we release the goods
**We only accept Paypal if you have a confirmed address which is the same as your delivery address.
***The first time you pay with a credit card you will need to Fax us a front and back copy of the credit card as well as a copy of ID. You will also have to fax us a signed Template Credit Card Authorization form as well as signed copy of the invoice which we will provide. We will only ship directly to the Credit Card holder.
Truckload orders and orders over a certain amount can not be paid using Pay Pal and/or Credit Cards.
After you place an order, it will be reviewed by your salesperson and you will be emailed links to the forms you will need to fill out. If you did not receive this information, please let us know- You can also access the forms by clicking here.
Typically Customer Return Pallets/Loads are made up of a variety of products which a retail or major department store has decided to sell off in bulk at a much reduced price or items which it can no longer sell at the regular retail price - some characteristics of these items would be:
Depending on what store they come from and what category of product it is, working percentages on customer return loads can vary greatly.
Generally speaking, the recognized industry average when trying to estimate working percentages is said to be around 65-75% working, 20% repairable, and the remainder throwaway/scrap/parts, etc.
In practice, no individual load or pallet will have that exact breakdown, but these percentages are fairly accurate when describing the average expected condition of the goods when purchasing them regularly.
Ultimately, this is a rough approximation and the actual working percentage on any given pallet or load can be much worse or better.
Note: many stores do not separate 'returns' from 'overstocks' and it is very typical that a good percentage of their 'salvage' loads will be made up of overstocks and shelf-pulls.
Most of our pallets will be made up of customer return items though we have several listings of New Overstock or Master Case items. You can search for items listed as New/Overstock by clicking on the corresponding category on the left navigation menu.
Please provide us with the following information:
(i) Zip Code
(ii) Whether you have a business or residential delivery address.
(iii) Whether you require a truck with a lift-gate (for lowering the pallets to the ground) - (NB: usually if purchasing one or two pallets, and if the products on the pallets are not too heavy, it is feasible not to request a truck with a lift-gate and to manually unload the pallet by hand.
(iv) The number and type of pallets you would like to receive a shipping quote for.
Please note: all shipping quotes sent out are only quotes, and are to be confirmed once order is placed.
Depending on the Pallet, the type of products and on the department store this percentage varies a lot.
For example, typically speaking - a clothes load has very little defective items. Most items would have just been returned to the store and the store would just sell them in bulk very cheap as part of a "Returned" load because they do not wish to repack it, re-tag it, clean it if necessary etc. Underwear and socks loads are usually always brand new since most stores do not allow the return of socks and/or underwear from customers.
Also, some department stores have more elaborate Repair & Service Centers than others. Products from stores which have comprehensive Repair & Service centers tend to have a higher defective rate. Generally speaking, electronic items have a higher defective rate - whilst non-electronic items such as toys, cookware, cutlery, accessories, domestics etc. tend to have much lower defective rates (e.g. a set of 50 pcs of cutlery may be in a return load simply because one of the pcs has broken. But you can still sell 49 of them!)
The generally recognized industry average used when trying to estimate working percentage is as follows: 65%-75% working 20% Repairable remainder scrap/spare parts/throwaway etc. Of course no individual load or pallet will have that exact breakdown, but generally speaking these percentages are a fairly accurate way to describe the average expected condition.
Please note - exact working % of any particular pallet/load is unknown - and all items are always untested.
Overstocks and shelf pulls typically refers to merchandise that has never been purchased by a customer, but are considered excess inventory from store shelves and/or warehouses.
Overstocks will typically be in good selling condition, and will have some of the following characteristics:
In the vast majority of cases, new overstock goods 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, removing price tags if necessary, before selling the items.
Another type of new overstock item in the industry is referred to as “Master Case Goods.” Master case goods signify goods that are 100% new and still in the original manufacturer’s exterior factory packaging. Via Trading does not deal with these items much, but we do occasionally have a few lots to offer which you would be able to find in the “new overstock” section of our website.
Most transactions made in this kind of industry are made 'blind' (i.e. without a manifested list of exactly what the pallet and/or truckload contains).
Certain department stores often do provide a manifest when we purchase truckloads from them but more often than not, manifests are not available or are only available with the truck once we receive it.
When it comes to pallets, the very large majority of pallets do not have a manifest and the only way we can provide one is by individually going through the pallet and manifesting each item inside - whence ourselves, and others in this industry do not and cannot provide exact manifests.
Alternatively, we do provide approximate piece counts and value of each pallet when this information is available to us.
We do also provide pictures of current or past loads and descriptions for each pallet/load that we offer.
Depending on the type of pallet/listing - the average value and piece count is taken looking at the total piece count and value of the truckload we purchased and then dividing it by the number of pallets. For instance if we purchase a hardware Load of say 10 pallets - we know that the total wholesale value of the load is $20,000 and the total piece count in the load is say 3,000pcs. If we divide that by the number of pallets - in this example 10 pallets, then we determine that the average piece count is 300pcs per pallet and the average wholesale value is roughly $2,000 per pallet.
The piece count is pretty clear cut - but in order for us to express an average retail value, and then depending on the type of items, we would "Mark-Up" the wholesale value as best and accurately as we can in order to express the average Retail Value of the pallet - in this case $2,000 wholesale value would be expressed say as between $3,000 to $4,000 Retail Value.
Please note - this is not an exact science - and also assumes that each pallet in the load has more or less the same value and piece count - which is generally but not always the case.
In the long term and looking at several purchases most people in this industry would agree that the payoffs and profits are generally very good and that the long-term risk is generally minimal.
However when looking at any single purchase - YES - there is a definite risk in purchasing such types of items - and all items are sold AS-IS regardless of anyone's best intentions to advertise each load as accurately as possible.
All persons contemplating purchasing such items must be aware and prepared of the risk. Like most businesses in life - the higher the risks - the higher the potential returns.
No.
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 consistently with hard work & creativity scheme'.
If you are prepared to test, fix, clean, cannibalize, be creative in sales, open new sales channels in order to get the most revenue back when needed - then do purchase. Purchasing returns is not for everyone - and it generally involves more work and resources than purchasing brand new items.
Please do not get this wrong - after all we do not want to discourage you - this is a profitable business for the large majority - and the industry as a whole is approximately $100 Billion in size.
Thousands of people on a daily basis buy and sell such items - many take it up part-time or full-time and profit very well from this. Bottom line is: if prepared to put in a fair share of work and effort - then this could be very profitable for you.
We welcome people to come in and visit our premises. You are free to visually select your pallet before you purchase it.
No - you may come visit us at anytime during our working hours. If you are coming to purchase a particular listing you may call ahead just to ensure that we have it physically in stock on that particular day.
Our business hours are:
Monday-Friday from 7 am to 7 pm Saturdays from 9 am to 5 pm
Especially if you are just starting out in this industry, you may be running into words and terms you are not familiar with. We have put together a list below to help clarify some commonly used terms in the liquidation industry.

Via Trading offers Wholesale Dropshipping services free of charge, to eBayers or other e-commerce vendors who sell to their customers in small or large lots.
Please note, we are wholesale dropshippers only-- we cannot dropship one individual piece (like 1 phone or 1 pair of jeans). Our minimum order for dropshipping is 1 case, 1 pallet or 1 truckload of any merchandise of your choice that you see available on our website.
The process is simple and outlined below. Please read this page if you are interested in having us wholesale drop ship for you, and feel free to email sales@viatrading.com should you have any questions.
Please register on our website or give us a call at 877-202-3616 (or +323-214-8914 if calling from overseas) to speak with an account manager who can set up an account for you.
You may take the pictures and descriptions of the merchandise you would like to sell from our website, and post them on your site or eBay store. (Please note: this only applies to pictures of merchandise. Our warehouse pictures are copyrighted and are solely for our use).
List the wholesale lots on your site with as much detail as possible (speak with your account manager if you need more information about a particular lot). Copying and pasting our descriptions is a good way to avoid any misinformation. You are welcome to charge the price you wish, but we recommend a price that is higher than our lowest listed price (the price YOU pay), but still competitive with the market. Do some research prior to listing the lots to make sure you are not over or under pricing the items.
Once you have a customer interested in one of the lots, please call or email us for a shipping quote to your customer's exact address. Please do not take payment for the item or the shipping without first obtaining an accurate shipping quote. This is to make sure you do not lose money on the shipping, should the quote turn out higher than you had anticipated.
Once your customer pays you for the goods and the payment has cleared, you can place the order with us online, by phone or by email. Be sure to include the shipping address of the customer, as well as the address/company name you would like to show on the paperwork as the "ship from" address. We will ship the merchandise with a blank packing list showing no trace of Via Trading.
We will then send you an invoice and you will be asked to remit payment. We accept payment by Credit Card, Paypal or Wire Transfer. Once the payment has been received the order will ship to your customer within 24-48 hours. We will email you a tracking number for the shipment which you will be welcome to send to your customer.
If you have any questions, please give us a call at 877-202-3616 or email sales@viatrading.com.
IMPORTANT: Please be sure to carefully read the descriptions of the items before selling them. Much of the merchandise we sell is Customer Returns, as-is, sold with no guarantee of functionality. Certain items will need to be worked and repaired, and some may need to be discarded. The idea is that your customer is paying such a small percentage of the value of the goods, that he/she can make profit on the items that DO work and the items which he/she will repair/restore. In order to avoid complaints, it is VERY important that your customers understand this before purchasing customer returns. It is often a good idea to have them fill out a form stating that they understand the risks of purchasing as-is merchandise. We can help you with this if you need.
We do offer items which are New/Overstock, which will not have any damages. You can see those items on our website as well by clicking on "New/Overstock" in the "Shop by Condition" menu. Please click here if you would like to read more information about Conditions of Goods and what to expect when buying or selling such items.
All goods are sold "AS IS" and all Sales are final. There is no guarantee or warranty, express or implied and without limitations, of merchandise fitness or marketability.
No Exchanges, Refunds or Credits.
Having said that, we do our best to manifest as accurately as possible our pallets, or explain as accurately as possible what, to the best of our knowledge and beliefs is included in each load/pallet. If for example you purchased an electronics load, and you received clothing, then of course we will fully compensate you for this.
If for any reason, you are unsatisfied with a purchase from us, contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order and we will do our best to make you satisfied.
This is not a 100% accurate and "straight-forward" business, and we do our best to be as descriptive as possible with the information available to us, however, we would be lying if we said mistakes don't happen - they do - so please get in touch with us if you are in any doubt about anything, before or after you receive your order.
Please keep in mind that we are in this for the long haul, and maintaining a high number of loyal customers is our goal - if you cannot make money with our products then you will not re-order from us. Our objective is to make our loads as profitable as possible to you so that you may keep coming back for more.

Su paleta le va a llegar completamente envuelta en plástico negro. Siempre tomamos la precaución de empacar la mercancía de una manera segura y eficiente.
El costo del mandado depende de lo siguiente:
* El peso del producto que esta mandando y la cantidad de cajas, paletas (también conocidas como pacas) o lotes que esta mandando
* El domicilio en donde se va a mandar el producto
* Si el domicilio es una CASA o un NEGOCIO

Mandamos a casi todos los países del mundo. Ordenes internacionales se tardan de 6 a 14 días en llegar cuando se mandan por aire, y de 45 a 60 días si se mandan por barco.
Quien se hará responsable por el mandado de la mercancía?
Podemos ofrecerle precios muy competitivos por cualquier mandado dentro del país o a casi todos los países del mundo.
Via Trading le puede hacer el mandado pero cualquier reclamo debe de hacerse directamente con la compañía que entrega la mercancía. Via Trading no es responsable por las tarifas de carga, o por mercancía que ha sido dañada, perdida o demorada durante el mandado. Todas las cotizaciones del mandado no incluyen aseguransa de la mercancía. Si quiere asegurar la mercancía, déjele saber a su agente de ventas.
Si quiere, usted mismo puede usar su propia compañía de mandados.
Tenemos un “forklift” para ayudarlo a cargar su mercancía en nuestro almacén sin ningún costo adicional.
Tenemos dos tipos de precios:
Por Pieza y por Palleta
Cualquier caja o palleta que tenga una cantidad exacta de piezas, el precio que ve es por pieza.
Por ejemplo:
En este ejemplo el precio por pieza es de $0.75. Junto al precio esta la cantidad que viene en la caja. En este ejemplo son 200 piezas por caja. El precio completo por toda la caja (no incluyendo el mandado) es de $0.75 x 200 = $150.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ejemplo de Descuento de Volumen:
Si hay diferentes precios basado en la cantidad de cajas, entonces estamos ofreciendo un descuento de volumen. Entre mas cajas ordenas menos pagas por pieza.
En este ejemplo cada caja tiene 250 piezas. Si compra 1 caja el precio es de
$1.50 x 250 = $375.
Si compra de 2-3 cajas, el precio es de $1.40 x 250 = $350 por caja
Ejemplo de Precio de Palleta sin cuenta exacta de piezas:
Las piezas no vienen contadas en esta palleta y el precio es por la palleta.
En este caso, el precio de la palleta es de $300.
Si tiene cualquier otra pregunta acerca de nuestros precios, por favor llámenos al 1-877-202-3616 o por correo electrónico a sales@viatrading.com
Tengo que proveer algún tipo de documentación antes de meter la orden?
Si esta en California y tiene un Permiso de Vendedor (Resellers Permit), le mandaremos un link a una forma que tendrá que llenar, firmar y mandar de vuelta por fax con una copia de su Certificado de Vendedor. El Certificado de Vendedor le permite comprar el producto sin tener que pagar el Impuesto de Venta de California (California Sales Tax) que es de 9.75%.
Si vive en California pero no tiene un Permiso de Vendedor, todavía puede comprar producto con nosotros pero tendrá que pagar el impuesto de venta de 9.75%.
Si quiere obtener un Permiso de Venta, por favor vaya a
www.boe.ca.gov para más información.
También puede obtener los números telefónicos de todas las oficinas en California del Borrad of Equalization
www.boe.ca.gov/info/phone.htm
La única otra forma que tendrá que llenar con nosotros es el “Conditions of Purchase Form” que será mandado a usted por correo electrónico con su factura. Este documento delinea las condiciones de compra y requiere su firma antes de que pagué por su orden.
Si viene a nuestro almacén a comprar en persona y vive en California, por favor traiga su Permiso de Vendedor y una identificación personal. Si no tiene el Permiso de Vendedor, todavía puede comprar con nosotros pero tendrá que pagar el California Sales Tax.
Si no vive en California pero va a venir a nuestro almacén a comprar, por favor traiga su Licencia de Negocio. Tendrá que llenar la forma de “Out of State” diciendo que usted se va a llevar la mercancía para vender afuera del estado. Tendremos que hacer una fotocopia de su Licencia de Negocio.
Compradores de Arizona, Nuevo México, Oklahoma, Utah o Tejas que vienen a comprar en persona, tendrán que traer una copia de su Permiso de Vendedor de su estado para no tener que pagar el impuesto estatal. También tendrán que llenar la forma de “Border Status Uniform Sale for Resale Certificate” para que no tengan que pagar el impuesto estatal. Nosotros le proporcionaremos esta forma.
Pueden pagar con Cheque*, Money Order, Deposito Bancario, Giro Electrónico, Western Union, PayPal** y tarjeta de crédito***.
* El cheque debe pasar antes de llevarse la mercancía
** Solo aceptamos PayPal si el domicilio es el mismo adonde vamos a mandar la mercancía
*** La primera vez que pague con tarjeta, nos tendrá que mandar por fax una copia de la parte de enfrente y atrás de la tarjeta y también una copia de identificación. También tendrá que mandarnos por fax la forma de Autorización de Cargo de Tarjeta de crédito y firmar la factura. Solo mandaremos la mercancía al mismo domicilio de la tarjeta.
Ordenes mas grandes de una cierta cantidad no pueden ser pagadas con tarjeta de crédito o PayPal.
Después de haber puesto la orden, su agente de ventas le mandara por correo electrónico links a las formas que tiene que llenar. Si no recibe las formas por favor llámenos. También puede acceder las formas haciendo clic aquí.
Típicamente estos son productos que tiendas han decidido liquidar por varias razones:
Dependiendo de donde provienen y la categoría del producto, el porcentaje que esta dañado varia mucho.
Hablando de una manera general, el promedio en la industria es el siguiente:
65-75% funciona, 20% es reparable y 5-15% solo sirve para sacar partes.
En realidad ninguna caja o paleta va tener estos porcentajes exactos, pero comprando de manera regular, este es el promedio.
Nota: Muchas tiendas no separan “devoluciones” y “overstocks” y es bastante típico que un porcentaje de lotes de devoluciones tengan overstock.
La mayoría de nuestras paletas serán de “Customer returns” pero también tenemos cajas y paletas que solo contienen “Overstock”. Puede buscar mercancía en nuestro website que solo es nueva u overstock haciendo clic en esa categoría. Las categorías se encuentran en la columna izquierda en nuestro website.
Por favor dénos la siguiente información:
1) El código postal a donde se va a mandar la mercancía
2) Si la mercancía se va a mandar a una casa o a un negocio
3) Si esta ordenando mercancía en palleta, necesitamos saber si tiene un “fork-lift”. Si no tiene “fork-lift”, se tiene que mandar una troca con “lift-gate”.
4) La cantidad y el tipo de producto que va a ordenar
Por favor note que todas las cotizaciones que damos solo son estimados. Al meter la orden, le vamos a dar un precio fijo.
Dependiendo en el tipo de producto y de donde proviene, el porcentaje varía mucho.
Por ejemplo, normalmente la ropa tiene un porcentaje muy bajo de piezas dañadas. La mayoría de las piezas son regresadas porque no quedaron bien o cambiaron de mente y no les gusto etc. La tienda no quiere tomar el tiempo de reempacar y reetiquetar la ropa. En vez la venden a negocios como nosotros.
Normalmente, mercancía electrónica o mecánica va a tener un porcentaje más alto de piezas dañadas.
A plazo largo, el promedio en la industria es del siguiente:
Claro ninguna paleta o lote va a tener exactamente este porcentaje. Pero a plazo largo este es el promedio.
Por favor noten que el porcentaje exacto de lo que funciona en cada paleta o lote no se sabe y nunca probamos las piezas.
Típicamente se refiere a productos que nunca fueron vendidos, pero son considerados como exceso de inventario.
Overstocks típicamente están en buena condición, y tienen las siguientes características:
Generalmente, Overstock requiere menos trabajo que Customer Returns en términos de arreglar el producto. Pero si requiere que prueben el producto por defectos, tal vez tengan que limpiar el empaquetado o quitarle etiquetas de precio.
Otro tipo de producto en esta industria se llama “Master Case Goods”. Estos son productos que son 100% nuevos y todavía están en su empaquetado original de la fábrica. De vez en cuando nos llega este tipo de producto. Los puede encontrar en la sección de “New Overstock” en nuestro website.
Dependiendo en el tipo de paleta, el precio promedio y la cuenta de piezas se basa en la cuenta y el valor total del lote que compramos y después lo dividimos por la cantidad de paletas que armamos del lote.
Por ejemplo, si compramos un lote de herramientas de 10 paletas y sabemos que el valor total de mayoreo es de $20,000 y la cuenta total de piezas es de 3000 piezas, entonces sabemos que el valor promedio de cada paleta es de $2000 y la cantidad promedia de piezas por paleta es de 300 piezas.
En este ejemplo la cantidad de piezas por paleta es simple. Pero para establecer el valor de menudeo de cada paleta tenemos que hacer una estimación. En este caso podemos estimar que el valor de menudeo es de $3000 a $4000.
Por favor noten que esto no es una ciencia exacta y estamos asumiendo que cada paleta en el lote tiene más o menos la misma cantidad.
NO.
Este negocio no es para todos y nadie se va a hacer rico de un día a otro. Si están dispuestos a trabajar duro y meter el esfuerzo que se requiere, entonces uno si puede tener éxito a plazo largo. Este negocio es para usted si esta dispuesto a hacer lo siguiente:
Si esta dispuesto a probar, reparar, limpiar y ser creativo en su manera de vender la mercancía, entonces este negocio si es para usted. Una gran mayoría de gente que participa en este negocio saca muy buena ganancia. La industria en si genera alrededor de $100 billones. Miles de gente de manera diaria participan en esta industria.
Preferimos que nuestros clientes vengan a nuestro almacén. Usted puede inspeccionar toda la mercancía.
La mayoría de las transacciones en esta industria se hacen a “ciegas” (sin un manifestó de lo que contiene la paleta o el lote)
Ciertas tiendas de departamento si proveen un manifestó cuando compramos lotes de ellos, pero la mayoría de las veces los lotes no tienen manifiestos.
Cuando se trata de paletas, la mayoría no tienen manifiestos y nosotros no contamos pieza por pieza para establecer un manifestó.
Cuando tenemos esta información, se la proveemos al cliente.
También proveemos fotos de las paletas y descripciones del producto.
Si es nuevo a este negocio, hemos preparado una lista de palabras comunes a esta industria.
