ABC Closeout is in the business of selling salvage/store returns,
Overstock, New Shelf-pull and closeout liquidation merchandise.
What does the word
"SALVAGE" or
"OVERSTOCK, NEW SHELF-PULLS AND CLOSEOUTS LIQUIDATION MERCHANDISE
MEAN"? Buying Salvage/Returns
is the cheapest way to buy anything. It may contain a mixture of
some good, bad, unpackaged, items with missing parts, damaged and
new merchandise. In other words the good, the bad and the ugly. We
cannot guarantee that every salvage load that you buy from us will
be a winner, but in most cases, they are. If you are not satisfied
with the load we will do our best to make it up to you on your
next purchase. We are the best at obtaining quality salvage loads
out there, and we do care very much about our customer's needs.
We go the extra length to
satisfy.
Buying
NEW SHELF-PULLS, OVERSTOCK AND
CLOSEOUTS LIQUIDATION MERCHANDISE
is the most sufficient way of buying in
bulk/large quantities. These may contain new items shelf-pulls,
overstock, out of season, and liquidated merchandise. Most of the
loads are in perfect condition with the tags and labels, but some
on the other hand may have a slight chance of being slightly
damaged due to shipping or human error.
Condition of Merchandise:
All Merchandise is salvage, store
returns, or other similar second-hand merchandise, and is sold As
Is with no warranties of any kind or guarantees of any kind
expressed or implied. All Merchandise is sold As Is, with no
refunds, returns, credits or exchanges offered or given. Loads
may be sold as bulk loads (with no wholesale value, percentage or
piece count given). The Approximate value stated for Merchandise
is merely a number that has been provided to us by its providers
as an estimate only of wholesale or retail value at the time of
purchase and ABC Closeout. in no way represents or
guarantees that this is the true value of the products.
No representation is
made as to packaging, style, selection, assortment, condition or
seasonality of the Merchandise. The Department Stores shall and
ABC Closeout, will not be held liable for any
dissatisfaction with respect to the sale or quality of
Merchandise.
Department store brand names:
When it comes to the
Department stores brand names, there will be a mixture of brands
including private labels that the department stores carry. Do not
expect only the top brand names. This is beyond our control.
Orders: All orders
are subject to acceptance by The Company and prior sale of
merchandise to other customers. Such acceptance is conditioned
upon Customer acceptance of these terms and conditions.
Shipping: The
Customer will be held responsible for transportation costs from

How do we get the merchandise here to my state?
We offer shipping to you at our discounted cost, or you may use
your own means.
What are the shipping costs? Items come from all
over the U.S.
Currently we ship from OR, WA, CA, TX, NY, IL, MI, MO. So,
shipping will depend on what you are interested in and your zip
code.
How do we accept payment?
We accept cash, cashier's check, money orders or bank wire
transfers. In regards to wire transfers, the buyer should call us
before and after they have transferred the funds. It takes from 45
minutes to 12 hours for us to receive wires. Once our bank
confirms the transaction, the shipment is ready for pickup. If
everything goes right, we try to have it all taken care and on the
road within 24 hours.
How long does it take from the time a truck hits
the road
until I get my truckload?
Shipping time depends on FOB location to your location. In most
cases it takes 5 business days. It could be as high as 12 business
days if your area is in a small city and has a long point to point
distance. What ever the case may be, the trucking company will
call you before delivery. You will also have a tracking number as
soon as the trucking is paid for.
Do I pay you for trucking or do I pay your trucking
company?
It does not matter. It would be a little quicker if you pay us at
time of wire transfer. Or, we can have it sent collect so you pay
the shipping company when it arrives. Some customers like this as
it gives them time to make more money before the load arrives. If
a load is to be sent collect, our shippers need to register you
with them. You will need to fill out a credit form. This however,
could delay the load departing for a day or two. You can also pay
the trucking the same day you send a wire to us. Trucking is
offered as a courtesy to our customers. We offer it at at our
discounted cost.
Are there any other costs that I should be made
aware of?
Not really. Our prices given before a purchase are rock solid.
Shipping by the container (40 foot truck) is rock solid as well.
If you are buying by the pallet, there could be a slight increase,
or decrease, depending on the class and weight of the item. The
only other costs that I can think of that may apply is with having
the right equipment to unload the truck, i.e. fork lift, pallet
jack, and loading dock. When we arrange shipping, we ask these
type of questions, so this should not be a problem down the road.
Are there any limits on the size of order?
Being that much of what we sell is salvage or closeouts, the limit
to the size of the order depends on what's left. Lets say a
customer wanted 2 truckloads of merchandise and only 1 was
available. We would have them pay for 1 and a week or 2 later,
when we have another, we would contact the buyer and let them know
the other load is here and ready for them. On some loads, we can
offer 6 month contracts so that the buyer can have a steady
supply.
Do we have any contracts to sign?
Yes & No. If a buyer is purchasing Department Store goods with us,
they must read and sign a paper that they would agree to, for
instance, remove the Department Store tags before resale, and the
like. As far as our company goes, no, you can buy a load from us
once or as many times as you like. We do not make much off of one
truckload. Our money is made from customers coming back and buying
often. We try as best as we can to offer high quality loads at the
right price so that our customers can make money, like our
service, and keep coming back.
It seems that some of the Department Store Loads
are "Blind" ?
This is true, some of them are not inventoried, nor do they have a
manifest. Such loads are sold to us by the truckload & sometimes
by the pallet. In this Q and A, I cannot mention Department store
names, but, if I could, you would see that many of the top
Department Stores sell off their salvage loads this way. This is
not a bad thing, but a very good thing. If they added up their
costs per truckload, our prices would be much higher. One place
that we sell a lot of loads from, estimates their average cost per
pallet is $3,000.00. That's at their cost. We sell these by the
truckload. There are 22 pallets per truckload. We sell them for
approximately $425.00 a pallet. So a truckload is $9,350.00 our
price, with $66,000.00 at their cost! This is 90% name brand
stuff!! That has a restriction though, No West Coast Sales. That
was just an example. So the trick is to buy Department Store loads
that contain mostly small items. This way, you get a huge amount
of products & much larger profits.
Do I have to go through you and a dozen other
people
to get the good stuff?
No, In 95% of the cases we are direct with the Department Store,
manufacturer, or warehouse in which the items are coming from. We
rarely advertise any items offered to us via the internet. We use
our own sources and most likely will always stay that way.
Can I fly down and inspect the load if I want to
before purchase?
In most cases, Yes, if the merchandise is in one of our
warehouses. Some Department Stores do not like tourists for
security and time-consuming purposes.
How do you handle Exporting Items?
We offer this unique service to our customers. ABC Closeout, can handle your export shipments to all major ports in
the world. We have strong representation throughout the world and
can handle all your containers in a quick and efficient manner. We
handle everything from:
.
Customs Clearance . Ocean Freight . . Freight Forwarding
. Door To Door . Door To Port Service .
If I choose to buy from someone else down the line,
is it okay?
Sure. You have no ties to us, but, before investing a whole lot
with someone else, you may want to run it by us. If it sounds
good, we will tell you. Yes, that's right! We will give you free
advise on what to look for or what to ask. We want to have you as
one of our clients for the long run, so we will help you in any
way we can.
Lets say I am buying from you, and I find another
guy selling the same thing you have in all details for less?
Please let us know. We will try to match or come close to the
price if possible. Please keep in mind that others may offer
goods, but cannot provide consistently, or it may be a load that
has been picked over. In any case, please let us know.
How do I get on your weekly mailing list?
Our weekly mailing list is a free service. It is however
confidential and can only be used for the person that it is sent
to. To get on the mailing list, just go to the weekly section of
our main web-site page and click on the mailing list option.
Please read the rules.
I have an Internet web page. Can I advertise your
goods on it?
No. There is to be no public advertising of any of our products.
It took us many years to get where we are today, and we have
several agreements with large companies not to market these goods
against their interests.
