Lost a Retail Customer? Sell Your Excess Inventory in Bulk

Did a major retailer or customer stop buying while you still have new inventory that was purchased, produced, or imported for their business?

Losing an account can turn normal inventory into excess stock almost immediately.

Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases qualifying new, unused consumer merchandise in bulk from manufacturers, brands, importers, distributors, wholesalers, and other inventory owners throughout the United States.

If you have multiple pallets, truckloads, or a larger inventory position you need to move, our buying team wants to review it.

What Happens to Inventory When You Lose a Retail Account?

Businesses often purchase inventory based on established customer demand.

If a retailer has consistently purchased thousands of units every month, your company may manufacture, import, or stock merchandise in anticipation of those orders.

When that customer suddenly stops purchasing, the inventory remains.

You may now be holding months of merchandise without the sales channel it was originally intended for.

Big Willy’s Wholesale provides another potential outlet for qualifying new excess inventory available in bulk quantities.

Brands: Sell Inventory After Losing a Retailer

Brands can become heavily dependent on major retail accounts.

If a retailer removes your products from its assortment, changes suppliers, reduces shelf space, closes locations, or decides not to continue a program, your company may be left with substantial quantities of finished goods.

Instead of waiting indefinitely for another customer to absorb the inventory, submit the position to our buying team.

If marketplace, geographic, channel, or other resale restrictions apply, include them with your submission.

Manufacturers: Move Finished Goods After Customer Loss

Manufacturers may have already scheduled production based on expected customer demand.

When an established customer stops purchasing, finished goods and upcoming production can suddenly exceed current requirements.

We evaluate qualifying new finished goods, excess production, production overruns, and other bulk merchandise resulting from changes in customer demand.

Importers: Sell Inventory Already Ordered for a Customer

Importers often commit to merchandise months before it reaches the United States.

If a customer relationship changes while products are being manufactured or transported, the importer may still be responsible for receiving the shipment.

Big Willy’s Wholesale can evaluate qualifying merchandise already located in the United States as well as certain opportunities currently in transit.

For incoming merchandise, provide the expected arrival date, destination, quantities, and shipment status.

Distributors: Reduce Inventory After an Account Closes

Distributors frequently maintain inventory specifically for large customers.

If that account closes, changes vendors, reduces its assortment, or stops purchasing a category, normal stocking levels can suddenly become significant overstock.

Selling qualifying merchandise in bulk can help your company recover working capital, reduce inventory exposure, and rebalance stock around your remaining customers.

Did Your Customer Change Vendors?

A customer does not necessarily have to go out of business for inventory to become excess.

Inventory problems can develop when a customer:

• Changes suppliers
• Removes a product from its assortment
• Reduces store count
• Changes product specifications
• Moves to private label
• Changes packaging requirements
• Reduces purchasing volume
• Ends a seasonal program
• Changes distributors
• Stops carrying a category

If those changes leave your business holding new merchandise it no longer needs, submit the inventory for review.

What Types of Inventory Do We Buy?

Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates new consumer merchandise across categories including General Merchandise, Beauty & Personal Care, Food & Beverage, Baby, Pet, Household, Electronics, Kitchen & Cookware, Office & School, Outdoor Gear, Toys, Apparel, Paper & Janitorial, PPE & Gloves, and other consumer products.

Other categories of new consumer merchandise can also be submitted for consideration.

New Merchandise Only

Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases new merchandise only.

We do not purchase customer returns, used merchandise, open-box goods, refurbished products, or reconditioned inventory.

If your merchandise remains new and unused, our buying team wants to review it.

Sell Multiple Pallets, Truckloads & Larger Positions

Our focus is bulk purchasing.

We evaluate multiple pallets, full truckloads, multi-truckload positions, large single-SKU quantities, and mixed-SKU inventories.

For larger opportunities, provide an accurate inventory spreadsheet or manifest whenever possible.

What Should You Submit?

For the fastest evaluation, provide the product name, UPC or SKU, available quantity, case pack, photos of the actual inventory, warehouse location, expiration dates when applicable, asking price, and any resale restrictions.

For mixed-SKU positions, include an inventory spreadsheet.

If there is a specific deadline for removing the merchandise from your warehouse or 3PL, include that information as well.

Turn Lost Sales Into Recovered Working Capital

Losing a major customer can leave capital tied up in inventory that no longer matches your current sales volume.

Selling qualifying merchandise in bulk can help your business recover working capital, reduce storage expenses, free warehouse space, rebalance inventory levels, and redirect resources toward active customers and new opportunities.

The sooner your company knows it has more merchandise than current customers require, the sooner you can submit the inventory for evaluation.
