Types of Truckloads We Offer and Who They Fit Best
The biggest mistake new resellers make is buying the "cheapest" load without considering if it matches their sales channel. A high-profit load for a flea market vendor might be a total disaster for an Amazon FBA seller.
At Truckload Deals, Nathan T. helps you navigate our inventory to find the right fit. In this guide, we break down our three primary categories—Bin Store, Tools, and Clothing—to ensure your investment matches your business model.
1. Bin Store Truckloads: High Volume, Fast Turn
If you operate a "Treasure Hunt" style retail location, our Bin Store Truckloads are your bread and butter. These loads are characterized by extremely high piece counts and a massive variety of categories.
- The Fit: Best for stores with flat-pricing models (e.g., $10 Fridays, $1 Wednesdays).
- What's Inside: A mix of small electronics, home goods, toys, kitchen accessories, personal care items, and so much more.
- The Strategy: You are buying for quantity. The goal is to keep the bins overflowing so customers feel the "thrill of the hunt."
2. Tools & Hardware: High Ticket, Specialized Demand
For resellers who prefer quality over quantity, Tools & Hardware Truckloads offer a much higher average unit value. These loads typically come from major big-box home improvement retailers.
- The Fit: Best for hardware surplus stores, eBay power sellers, or Facebook Marketplace flippers.
- What's Inside: Power tools, hand tools, small appliances, hardware, and outdoor items.
- The Strategy: Expect a higher percentage of returns and shelf pulled items. While you have fewer pieces to sort, each item requires more individual attention for testing.
3. Clothing & Shoes: High Piece Count, High Volume
One of the most overlooked opportunities in liquidation is Clothing & Shoes Truckloads. Because apparel is lightweight and non-fragile, shipping costs per unit are the lowest in the industry for retailers and e-commerce stores.
- The Fit: Best for boutique owners, bin stores, flea markets, discount clothing warehouses, and Poshmark/Depop sellers.
- What's Inside: Seasonal overstock clothing, brand-name footwear, and retail shelf pulls.
- The Strategy: If you have the patience to sort through styles and sizes, the margins on apparel often exceed 300% due to the low initial cost per pallet.
Summary
Success in liquidation isn't about finding the "perfect" load; it's about finding the right load for your business model. Whether it’s the high-energy environment of a bin store or the technical focus of tool resale, we have the inventory to back your growth.
