Welcome to the world of liquidations. If you have made it here, it is because you have seen the opportunity: buying merchandise from recognized brands at a fraction of its original value to resell it and generate significant profit margins. However, we know that “taking the leap” can generate uncertainty. The liquidation business model is different from traditional wholesale commerce. Buying from a factory distributor is not the same as buying lots of surplus or returns. To make your experience at Go Liquidator successful from day one, we have expanded our FAQ section with practical advice, detailed explanations, and “expert tips” that will save you time and money.
1. Logistics and Shipping: The Pillar of Your Business
This is, without a doubt, the number one query. Understanding how merchandise reaches your hands is vital to calculate your real costs.
We want to give you the freedom to choose the shipping option that best fits your budget and timeline. That’s why we operate under the Ex Works model, giving you total control to negotiate the best rates with your preferred carrier.
Don’t know where to start? Don’t worry.
Even though shipping is arranged by you, our logistics team acts as your partner:
- We make it easy: We prepare your cargo and provide you with exact dimensions, weights, and details so getting a quote is quick and simple.
- We connect you: If you don’t have a trusted carrier, we’ll happily share our list of recommended partners who successfully ship within the U.S. and to Latin America.
- We coordinate for you: We handle scheduling the pickup with your chosen company to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Can I pick up the merchandise personally?
Absolutely! If you have your own truck, van, or even your family vehicle and are in the Miami area, you can pick up your order. Requirement: You must schedule an appointment in advance with your assigned salesperson to notify them that you are going to pick up your merchandise. This is crucial to ensure your cargo is ready at the dock so you don’t waste time waiting.
2. Payment Methods and Financial Security
We want your transaction to be fluid and secure. Here we explain how we handle money.
What are the accepted forms of payment?
We accept a variety of methods to suit your location and preference:
- Wire Transfer: This is the most recommended method for international purchases or high volume (containers/truckloads), as it is the safest and fastest for large amounts.
- Direct Deposit (Zelle): Ideal for quick payments within the United States.
- Credit/Debit Cards: We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
- Note: Keep in mind that card payments may be subject to a bank processing fee (usually around 3-4%). Cash: Only if you make the purchase in person at our facilities.
3. Understanding the Merchandise: What am I buying?
Success in this business depends on knowing what to expect when opening the box. At Go Liquidator, we are transparent about the condition of the products.
In what conditions is the merchandise sold? We mainly handle two categories:
- New (New / Overstock): Surplus inventory that was never sold, including store surplus and manufacturing overstock. These items are usually in their original boxes and in perfect condition. This category also includes irregular products.
- Customer Returns: Merchandise that a consumer bought and returned to the store.
- Note: A return can be something as simple as “I didn’t like the color” (new product) or “it doesn’t work” (defective product). When buying return lots, you must be prepared to receive a mix of both.
Do you have a warranty or returns?
This is the liquidator’s golden rule: All sales are final and sold “AS IS”. Why? Because you are buying at an extremely low price. This massive discount carries the risk that some units may have defects.
Our recommendation: If you are new, always ask your advisor for “manifests” (product lists) or ask for current photos and videos of the lot before paying.
4. Requirements to Buy
Do I need a business license to buy?
We sell to individuals, entrepreneurs, retailers, wholesalers, and exporters.
Minimum purchase: Varies depending on the type of merchandise, but to give you an idea, our minimum order is generally 250 units for clothing. For cosmetics, it is 2 boxes, each containing 300 units. For other offers, the minimum purchase is by the box or pallet, and we also offer the option to purchase by the container.
Can I go see the merchandise before buying?
Yes, and we encourage you to do so! We have a physical warehouse in Miami where you can see the quality of our processes and some of the available lots.
- Hours: Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
- Appointment: It is preferable that you contact an advisor before coming to ensure that someone can attend to you and show you specifically what you are looking for.
