Why resellers pick up toys and games by weight

Variety is the draw. These pallets blend board games, puzzles, plush, educational and outdoor toys, party supplies, novelty gifts and some sporting goods, possibly including Lego, Mattel and Fisher-Price pieces. One pallet gives a discount store, a party shop or a marketplace seller a full table of small, easy-to-ship items. Kids shop through the year, but party goods and toys sell most near birthdays and holidays. Plush and puzzles are light and ship cheaply, which suits online sellers. Party goods bring repeat buyers, since hosts return each time a birthday comes around.

What condition do these pallets arrive in?

Items are new, mixing name-brand and generic goods. Pallet sizes differ, for example 40 in tall on a 44 by 38 in base, 46 in high or 38 in high. Grading is set at lot level. No testing is needed for most items, though battery toys are worth checking. Sort plush from hard toys, then board games from puzzles, so each category is ready to list. Check any battery toys and boxed games for crushed corners before pricing them. Pallet weights of 208 lb, 220 lb and 247 lb are light enough to break down on a bench. Expect a few damaged boxes in loose-pack toys and set those aside for discounted bundles instead of dropping them from your listings.

Questions about sports and games lots

Will I know exactly which toys are included?

The listing names the categories and leading items, but contents vary from one pallet to the next, so treat each lot as a mixed assortment and price your listings on category rather than model.

Is freight included?

Delivery is covered in the price. US shipments go by liftgate truck, tracking is sent by email after booking, and the 14-day return window applies.
