Moving Warehouses? Sell Excess Inventory Before the Move
Preparing to move warehouses, consolidate facilities, or change 3PL providers?
Before paying to pack, handle, transport, receive, and store inventory your business no longer needs, consider selling qualifying excess merchandise in bulk.
Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases new, unused inventory from manufacturers, distributors, importers, brands, wholesalers, retailers, e-commerce businesses, and other inventory owners nationwide.
If you have multiple pallets, truckloads, or a larger inventory position that you would rather sell than relocate, send it to our buying team for review.

Sell Excess Inventory Before Relocating Your Warehouse
A warehouse move is often the perfect time to examine inventory that has accumulated over the years.
Your team may discover discontinued products, excess purchases, slow-moving merchandise, cancelled-order inventory, old packaging, inactive SKUs, or products that no longer fit your current assortment.
Moving those products means paying to handle the same inventory again.
For qualifying new merchandise, selling the inventory before relocating can provide another option.
Why Pay to Move Inventory You No Longer Need?
Moving inventory can involve more than transportation.
Products may need to be picked, wrapped, staged, loaded, transported, unloaded, counted, received, and put away again at the new facility.
After all of that, your business still owns the same excess inventory.
Selling qualifying merchandise before the move can help your company reduce the number of pallets being relocated while recovering working capital from inventory it no longer needs.
Warehouse Lease Expiring?
Businesses approaching the end of a warehouse lease may have a firm deadline to remove merchandise from the facility.
If you know certain inventory will not be part of your operation at the next location, submitting it early can provide more time to evaluate potential bulk-sale options.
When submitting your inventory, include your required removal date so our buying team understands the timeline.
Consolidating Multiple Warehouses?
Companies sometimes consolidate several facilities into one distribution center.
During consolidation, duplicate or excess inventory positions can become more apparent.
Rather than transferring every pallet into the new facility, businesses can submit qualifying new inventory for bulk purchase consideration.
We evaluate single-SKU positions, mixed inventories, multiple pallets, truckloads, and larger opportunities.
Changing 3PL Providers?
Switching fulfillment or third-party logistics providers can also create an opportunity to clean up inventory.
Every pallet transferred from one 3PL to another can involve additional handling, freight, receiving, and future storage expenses.
If your business has merchandise it already intends to discontinue or reduce, consider submitting it before completing the transfer.
Manufacturers: Reduce Finished Goods Before a Facility Move
Manufacturers relocating or consolidating facilities may have finished goods that are no longer tied to active customer orders.
Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates qualifying new production overruns, discontinued merchandise, cancelled-order inventory, excess finished goods, and other bulk inventory positions.
Distributors & Importers: Clear Pallet Positions Before Moving
Distributors and importers can accumulate large quantities of inventory across many SKUs.
A warehouse move creates an opportunity to identify products that no longer justify the cost of another transfer.
Selling qualifying inventory can help reduce the number of pallets moving to the new facility and create additional capacity when the new warehouse opens.
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 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 the inventory you want to clear before your move is new and unused, submit it to our buying team.
We Buy Pallets, Truckloads & Larger Inventory Positions
Our focus is bulk inventory.
We evaluate multiple pallets, full truckloads, multi-truckload positions, large single-SKU quantities, and mixed-SKU inventories.
For larger warehouse cleanouts, provide an accurate inventory spreadsheet or manifest whenever possible.
What Should You Send Our Buying Team?
For the fastest evaluation, provide the product name, UPC or SKU, available quantity, case pack, photos of the actual merchandise, current warehouse location, expiration dates when applicable, asking price, and any resale restrictions.
For mixed-SKU inventories, include an inventory spreadsheet.
Most importantly, tell us when the merchandise needs to be removed from the current warehouse.
Turn a Warehouse Move Into an Inventory Cleanup
A relocation already requires substantial time, labor, freight, and planning.
It can also be an opportunity to start the new facility with a cleaner inventory position.
Selling qualifying excess merchandise before relocating can help your business recover working capital, reduce moving costs, eliminate inactive SKUs, decrease the number of pallets being transferred, and free space at the new facility for inventory that matters to your business today.
