43 Excess inventory doesn’t just take up space. It can tie up working capital, increase warehouse expenses, create ongoing 3PL fees, and prevent your business from bringing in merchandise that sells faster.
If your company has new inventory you want to clear in bulk, Big Willy’s Wholesale wants to review it.
We purchase qualifying new excess, surplus, overstock, discontinued, closeout, slow-moving, canceled-order, Amazon/e-commerce, and other bulk general merchandise inventory from sellers nationwide.
Whether you're a manufacturer with excess production, an importer holding extra containers, a distributor clearing aging SKUs, a retailer changing assortments, or an e-commerce seller trying to reduce inventory, you can submit the entire opportunity directly to our buying team.

Need to Clear Excess Inventory?
Businesses accumulate unwanted inventory for all kinds of reasons.
Sales forecasts change. Customers cancel purchase orders. Retail programs end. Packaging gets updated. New models replace existing products. Amazon sales slow down. Companies change categories. Warehouses run out of space.
The merchandise can still be completely new and sellable—it simply no longer fits the company's current needs.
When that happens, continuing to store the inventory isn't always the best answer.
Selling the merchandise in bulk can help turn an unwanted inventory position into working capital while freeing valuable warehouse space.
What Inventory Can Big Willy’s Wholesale Buy?
We evaluate many types of new inventory situations.
Excess Inventory
Have more merchandise than your business currently needs?
Submit the available quantity to our buying team.
Surplus Inventory
If products are no longer required for current operations, customer orders, or sales forecasts, we can evaluate the surplus as a potential bulk purchase.
Overstock Inventory
Overordered, overproduced, or imported more than expected?
We review qualifying overstock positions ranging from pallets to significantly larger quantities.
Discontinued Products
Companies regularly discontinue products because of assortment changes, packaging updates, new models, or changes in strategy.
If the existing inventory is new, we'd like to see it.
Closeout Merchandise
If you're exiting a product, category, program, brand, or inventory position, submit the complete closeout.
Slow-Moving Inventory
Merchandise doesn't need to be obsolete before you decide to sell it.
If a new product isn't moving quickly enough through your existing channels, we can evaluate the available inventory.
Canceled-Order Inventory
A canceled customer order can leave manufacturers, importers, distributors, and other businesses holding merchandise they never expected to store.
Send us the opportunity.
Amazon & E-Commerce Inventory
Amazon, marketplace, Shopify, and other online sellers can submit new inventory they're looking to exit in bulk.
Who Can Sell Inventory to Big Willy’s Wholesale?
Our inventory acquisition program isn't limited to one type of seller.
We want opportunities from:
- Manufacturers
- Importers
- Distributors
- Wholesalers
- Brands
- Retailers
- Amazon sellers
- Marketplace sellers
- E-commerce businesses
- 3PL customers
- Warehouse inventory owners
- Businesses consolidating locations
- Companies exiting product categories
- Individuals with legitimate commercial quantities
- Other authorized inventory owners
If you legitimately own or are authorized to sell new merchandise in commercial quantities, submit it.
You don't need to decide whether your inventory technically qualifies as excess, surplus, closeout, or overstock before contacting us.
Clearing Inventory From a Warehouse
Warehouse space has a real cost.
A pallet of slow-moving merchandise doesn't only represent inventory—it also occupies a pallet position that could potentially hold a faster-moving product.
Businesses may decide to clear inventory when:
- Warehouse capacity is becoming limited
- New merchandise is arriving
- A facility is relocating
- Multiple warehouses are being consolidated
- Older SKUs are consuming valuable rack space
- A product line is being discontinued
- Storage expenses no longer make sense
If you're clearing a warehouse, send us the complete inventory list rather than assuming you need to sell every SKU separately.
Clearing Inventory From a 3PL
Inventory stored at a third-party logistics facility can become particularly expensive when products stop moving.
Storage fees continue even when sales slow down.
If you're paying to store new merchandise you already know you want to exit, submit the inventory while it's still at the 3PL.
You don't need to move it somewhere else first.
Provide the facility location, available quantities, inventory file, and product information so our buying team can evaluate the opportunity.
Manufacturers Clearing Excess Production
Manufacturers can end up with finished goods because of:
- Production overruns
- Customer cancellations
- Forecast changes
- Packaging changes
- Discontinued products
- Retail program changes
- Minimum production requirements
If the merchandise is new and available in bulk, Big Willy’s Wholesale wants to review it.
Importers With Excess Inventory
Importers can face similar situations.
A customer may reduce an order while containers are already in transit. MOQ requirements may create additional inventory. Demand can change after goods have already been purchased.
If you have pallets, truckloads, or containers of new general merchandise you need to clear, submit the opportunity.
Amazon & E-Commerce Sellers Reducing Inventory
Online sellers don't always want to continue selling every SKU indefinitely.
Maybe you're changing suppliers, exiting a category, reducing your catalog, closing an Amazon listing, or simply holding substantially more stock than current sales justify.
Instead of continuing to pay storage expenses while selling the inventory unit by unit, you can submit the available position as a bulk opportunity.
What Quantities Can You Submit?
Big Willy’s Wholesale focuses on commercial quantities, including:
- Multiple pallets
- Hundreds of cases
- Thousands of units
- Large single-SKU positions
- Multi-SKU inventories
- Truckloads
- Multiple truckloads
- Container quantities
- Entire product lines
- Complete closeouts
- Large warehouse inventory positions
Have something outside those examples?
Submit it anyway.
