Welcome to Via Trading!

Thank you for visiting our website.

Mission Statement

Via Trading is Dedicated to the Principles of Continuous Improvement, Transparency & World Class Service. Our mission is to be the recognized Leader in the Liquidation Industry & Operate with a Long Term Focus to Develop High Quality Relationships with our Customers, Vendors & Team Members

The History

Via Trading was founded in 2002 and began operations in a 6,000 SQFT warehouse/retail store in West Los Angeles with a team of 4 including the current founders & owners.

 

The initial concept was to purchase excess merchandise from the domestic market and resell it through our retail and online b2c channels that we had initially created

 

In the early 2000’s the Liquidation Industry was fairly different then today. Supply sources were fairly centralized, customer service was close to non-existent, hundreds of brokers were operating in the industry and transparency was extremely lacking.

 

Recognizing the opportunity to solve many of the challenges associated with sourcing liquidation merchandise that we faced ourselves, our initial 5 year business plan was quickly transformed and the new one we still see being reinforced today emerged.

 

We believe that taking a long term approach to our business and operating with Key Values of Honesty, Integrity and Transparency coupled with our mission to offer World Class Customer Service has helped us establish ourselves as a recognized Leader in the Liquidation Industry.

 

We’ve been there – so we know your challenges and hope that Via Trading can be an ongoing part of your solution.

OUR MERCHANDISE

The large majority of our merchandise is secured under direct contract with Fortune 500 Department Stores & E-commerce Retailers and is mostly made up of Customer Returns, Shelf-Pulls & Overstocks. The estimated amount of goods returned to US retailers is in excess of $221 Billion/Year at full retail value (source: IHL Group). Of course not all those goods end up in Liquidation loads but this figure doesn’t include overstock or discontinued merchandise values.

LiquidateNow:  Via Trading also Offers Liquidation Services to businesses such as small to medium size retailers, distributors, manufacturers, Logistic Companies, Financial Institutions & more through www.LiquidateNow.com . The latter are mostly limited stock offers & opportunistic in nature. When browsing our website you can identify such Listings by the LiquidateNow Logo appended to it. Via Trading will solicit and consider best offers for LiquidateNow Listings.

Most department stores will liquidate or salvage items that they choose to no longer sell in their stores. These goods will include customer returns, shelf-pulls, marked-down items, out-of-season, discontinued items, in-store display items, overstocks, etc. Each store will operate their program differently & there may be little consistency from store to store.  Via Trading purchases these loads under contract in very large quantities from the stores and makes them available for re-purchase to our customers either as a complete truckloads or broken down in to smaller lots.
