Store Returns
Store Returns are a gamble. You can win big or not win. Let us give you the rundown on what store returns are through several different scenarios:
Scenario #1
Mr. Smith buys a toaster from Walmart. He uses it for 30 days and then returns it to the store because he has no use for it any longer. This is now a store return.
Scenario #2
Ms. Johnson buys a pair of Nike sneakers at JC Penney. She uses them for 2 weeks, every day running 5 miles in them in the rain. After 2 weeks, the shoes now look like they have been used for over a year, with holes, marks and dirty laces. She takes them back to the store and explains that they are not comfortable and that the color came out in the washing machine. This is now a store return.
Scenario #3
Mr. Gold buys a new set of dishes and wine glasses from High End Dept Store’s. On the way home, he accidentally drops the boxes and some of the items inside break. He takes this back to the store, claiming that the items were broken when he got home. This is now a store return.
All of the above scenarios are store returns. The problem is that when you are buying the store returns and salvage merchandise, you have no idea if your merchandise will be the nice toaster in the original box in almost new condition or the broken glasses and used sneakers.
Chances are you will get a mix of all of them. After being in the business for many years, we know there is always a chance for either or. There is no way to know the percentage of overstock to store returns or is there a way to know the percentage of damaged store returns to better condition ones. Some loads are super clean and nice returns while others are harsher than others.
Sometimes the returns lead to huge margins and returns when the loads are great, but other times they may not.
We point our clients in the direction of overstock items, where the merchandise is 100% Overstock Merchandise Guaranteed! However, we do have store returns if you want to try a load. Either way, we will always give you the best advice possible.
