All lots & truckloads

Why buyers order assorted goods by weight and height

Mixed general merchandise has no neat unit count, so each pallet is described by what can be measured: weight, deck size and stack height. That suits shops that fill shelves with whatever name-brand goods arrive, bargain stores, flea market vendors and online sellers who like a surprise element in new stock. Buyers often split a pallet between an in-store bargain table and an online bundle listing, which keeps stock moving. Passport holders, travel items and everyday retail goods mix well in the same shop.

Condition and grading for assorted lots

All lots are listed as new. Contents are general goods from name brands, with no piece counts in most cases, and a few lots carry manifests. Lots are graded at lot level. Expect variety in categories, so plan sorting space and decide in advance whether you will sell by item, by bundle or as a mystery stack. Check the stack height when you plan truck unloading, since a 29 in skid and a 38 in skid handle differently. Measure your doorways and racking before ordering, and note that heights vary from 29 in to 42 in across lots.

Questions about assorted merchandise lots

Do I know what is inside?

You see weight, base size and height, and some lots include manifests. Otherwise expect new name-brand general goods. Skids are described by weight and size, which is why they suit buyers who want to plan truck and storage space in advance.

Does the price cover freight?

Delivery costs nothing beyond the price. Liftgate unloading comes standard domestically. Emailed tracking, 14-day returns apply.
