Where to buy liquidation return pallets in the UK |

MAKING money from old and returned stock is one of the savvy ways people are earning an extra buck.

But if you aren't sure where to get your hands on one, read on to find out.

What are liquidation return pallets?

Liquidation return pallets are essentially boxes filled with assorted items that cannot be sold in a regular store.

There are a number of reasons why these items cannot be sold, such as damage.

Reselling items that cannot be sold in-store means that companies still generate some income from those products.

And consumers can get some of their favourite items at a fraction of the price.

Some people have been able to make a living out of refurbishing items from return pallets.

In December 2021, PaymentSense's annual report stated online returns alone cost UK retailers £5.2 billion a year.

The data showed "serial refunders" cost small businesses in the UK an average of £15,600 a month.

Furthermore, Analysis looked at the top 500 retailers in the UK to see which customers were looking the most for free returns.

Amazon took the top spot with an average of 4,400 searches per month with Asos, Shein, Zara, and Boohoo following closely behind.

Buying a liquidation pallet isn't too difficult if you know where to look.

Also, what you find depends on what items and stores you are looking for as not all retailers provide this service.

Amazon's liquidation pallets can be bought directly through Amazon's auction programme.

Amazon Liquidation Auctions is the official marketplace where customers can buy surplus stock directly from Amazon.

In the UK, you can register on the Amazon Europe Liquidation Auctions marketplace separately.

All you need to do to bid on an auction is register with B-Stock and once you're approved, you're free to bid.

There is no fee required to apply or for being an approved buyer but you will need to be a valid reseller in order to apply.

There are various sites that sell liquidation return pallets from a variety of places.

With the sellers on these sites, you won't have to wait for an auction to come around.
