Throughout the years, our clients have asked us many questions about the terminology of the products industry. We would like to share with you several of these terms:

Closeouts are generally considered to be excess from a previous season`s production and are the result of changes in color, design, and fabric or missed deliveries. Closeouts by definition should all be first quality. Name-brand companies are left with billions of dollars in excess inventory each year and are forced to sell their excess inventory for several reasons: Products must be removed from shelves to make room for newer models; a change in financial circumstances or strategy may result in canceled orders; manufacturers may be downsizing or moving facilities; companies may need to reduce inventories for accounting reasons. As a result, the companies are forced to sell this first-quality inventory quickly and below their cost.

Overruns are over production from specific cuttings or orders and are generally the result of the order not matching the amount of material needed. The amount of cloth needed to produce 30 shirts may actually be enough to produce 45 shirts and therefore we have a 15 shirt overrun.

Customer returns include an extensive range of merchandise including products actually purchased and then returned by customers, in store damages, marked out of stock products and case packs that have been opened. Most of these products are sold by the truckload from various points around the country. The products are either sold as a percentage of the cost of retail or by the pallet. The store returns are less than perfect merchandise. The merchandise may be slightly damaged, missing a piece, discolored, or be in a damaged box.

On the other hand you usually get a large amount of products that are like new. A small percentage of the merchandise may have to be discarded. You are generally paying between 8-12% of the retail price. Even with a small throw away percentage and with some of the merchandise slightly imperfect, it turns out that you usually double or triple your money. Yes, there will be the occasional sour lemon, but if you continue to purchase the merchandise on a regular basis, you will see that it is worth your while.

Any inventory, merchandise, or equipment that can no longer be sold at the regular retail or wholesale price, but still possesses value. Surplus is generally caused by discontinuations, overruns, closeouts or overstock. Most businesses have a need to liquidate 2-5% of their products as surplus.F.O.B.: This stands for Freight on Board. Basically, it is the location where the merchandise is being shipped from. This is where we will send the truck to pick up your merchandise.

We have also been asked many questions regarding the Closeouts Merchandise that we offer our clients. Here are just a few of those questions:

We accept Money Orders, and Bank Wire Transfers. Bank Wire information will be attached to your invoice.

We ship by major trucking lines, railroad and by ship for Export in South Africa, Air shipping too for perishable products, and sea for products with longer Expiration dates especially the pasteurized ones. We find that shipping bulk merchandise within the Continental US through major truckling lines is the most time and cost effective.

We usually ship within 72 hours or less when the merchandise is F.O.B. our warehouse, however, sometimes due to the volume of orders we receive we may be running behind, but we will get your order processed as soon as possible. When placing an order for a truckload or lot directly from the Department Store facility, it takes approximately 5-7 business days for you to receive your load. We must set up an appointment with the facility to have the merchandise brought to the dock and have the trucking company there at the specified time to pick up the load. Our Sales Representative will remain in close contact with you while the merchandise is in route. You will get a call from the trucking company approximately 24 hours before the merchandise arrives for you to meet the truck.
