We're interested in all types of consumer product closeouts and excess inventory. We prefer retail packaging, but it's not required for all items. We only buy goods that are new (no returns). We specialize in large quantities, ideally inventories with 1,000+ units per sku.

Our primary sales channel is to off-price retail in North America. We have relationships with over 400+ retailers that buy our products to support their off-price retail model or for margin building promotional opportunities.

Our offers are always take-all's, at least by sku. This protects both our investment in the product and helps keeps market comps higher in the market for the protection of the vendors we buy from.

Right away! Our offers are for ship-at-once. The length of time it takes for us to pick up after finalizing a deal is mostly related to the time it takes for our vendors to have their warehouses packs the orders. We can typically pick up within 1-2 business days once we've received all of the routing info required to schedule a freight pickup. We utilize a wide range of FTL and LTL carriers and can pick up shipments of any size.

Yes - our offers are FOB your warehouse - we pay the freight.

Usually we do not need to see samples to make you an offer; however, we may require samples to be approved prior to shipment.

An inventory list with Style #'s, Descriptions, and Quantities Available is all that we need for the products as long as information can be found for them online. Additional information that is helpful to our review includes Retail Pricing, Wholesale Pricing, UPCs, and Case Pack Qtys. We also need to know the ship from location(s) so that we can estimate our freight costs.

Offers can be emailed to Deals@TheCloseoutBuyer.com or you can submit through the "Request an Offer" form on our website.
