These goods are sold AS IS. We do not have return options for overstock and store return pallets because freight is so high. See in our feedback that we are an honest company. If you are ever not satisfied with a load from us please let us know, and we will do our best to make sure you are happy. We buy this type of merchendise as a full load and break them down into smaller loads so you can get less then a truckload at a time. This means pallets can very greatly from one to the next. Some pallets are better then others. So if only one pallet is bought you run the risk of getting a single not so great pallet. On the other hand if a few pallets are purchased, you get better freight rates to lower the average cost per pallet, and if one of the pallets is not so good the other pallets make up for it. Generaly speaking the larger the order the better the deal. This is due to better shipping value, volume discounts and a better cross selection of items. This type of merchendise is best for flea marketers, online sellers and retail store owners. If you have never worked with CUSTOMER RETURN merchendise before, we suggest you stick with NEW OVERSTOCK merchendise unless you have previous experience with customer return merchendise or you sell at flea markets. IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO CONTACT US BEFORE PURCHASING THESE LOADS. If we do not think you will make a good return on your money we will not sell the load. For example, if a customer wants one pallet of cheap customer returns shipped a long distance to a residential address and it's not worth it, we will say so and advise against the purchase. This is why it is always a good idea to e-mail us first about purchasing these loads. We want you to make money so you can buy from us again!This listing features a pallet load of general tools from a major national retailer! These products are un-tested customer returns, shelf-pulls and overstock merchandise. They are however very clean lots and  have high working percentages on the items. The products in these lots are sold as-is. We DO NOT cherry-pick our lots at all as many other dealers do. Pallets leave our warehouse same as they arrive! These lots are direct from the supplier so you are assured higher quality loads.  A very nice mix of tools from a large national retail chain. These items come in a gaylord pallet (very large box). A typical pallet may contain any or all of the following: Tool sets, cordless drill sets, hacksaw's, portable air compressors, electric pressure washers, battery chargers, etc... Brands may include Black & Decker, Stanley and others. It is mostly smaller sets in these lots, and there are some loose items. There are not really any big or bulky items on these pallets, so there are a lot of units to a skid. Please see pictures. Excellent value in these pallets. We do suggest buying more then 1 pallet; you get a better overall deal due to a more varied selection and better shipping value! Please note: These pallets are unmanifested.We are ID verified and accept Paypal, so you can bid with confidence. Your satisfaction is our #1 goal. Please contact us with any questions, and thank you for visiting this auction page. ***Please note the following FAQ's: What is a "Customer Return Product"? Typically Customer Return Loads are made up of a variety of products which a retail or major department store has decided to sell off in bulk at a much reduced price, or items which it can no longer sell at their regular retail price. Some of the reasons are that these items were or have: (i) In store display items (ii) Overstock (iii) Items with damaged exterior packaging (iv) Returned to the store by a customer and the store can not or does not want to re-shelf it. (v) Cosmetic blemishes or slight defects (vi) Missing minor or major components (such as either a remote control, manual, a cover, cables etc.) (vii) Defective when returned by customer (viii) One or more of the items features do not work (ix) Out of box items (x) Out of season items   Can I know Exactly what is in the pallet before purchasing? Most transactions made in this kind of industry are made 'blind' (i.e. a manifested list of exactly what the pallet and/or truckload contains is not provided). Certain department stores often do provide a manifest when purchasing truckloads from them, but more often then not manifests are not available.   When it comes to pallet sales, the very large majority of pallets do not have a manifest and the only way we can provide one is by individually going through the pallet and manifesting each item inside. At our prices this is impossible. Alternatively, we do provide approximate pc counts and value of each pallet when this information is available to us. We do also provide pictures of current or past loads and descriptions for each pallet/load that we offer.   What Percentage of the products work? Depending on the pallet, the type of products and on the department store this percentage can vary a lot.   For example, typically speaking - a clothes load has very little defective items. Most items would have just been retuned to the store and the store would just sell them in bulk very  cheap as part of a "Returned" load because they do not wish to repack it, re-tag it, clean it if necessary etc. Underwear and socks loads are usually always brand new since most stores do not allow the return of socks and/or underwear from customers.   Also, some department stores have more elaborate repair & service centers then others. Products from stores which have comprehensive repair & service centers tend to have a higher defective rate. Generally speaking electronic items have a higher defective rate while non-electronic items such as toys, cookware, cutlery, accessories, domestics etc. tend to have much lower defective rates (e.g. a set of 50 pcs of cutlery set may be in a return load simply because one of the pcs has broken).   The generally recognized industry average used when trying to estimate working % is as follows: 65%-75% working, 20% Repairable, remainder scrap/spare parts/throwaway etc. Of course no individual load or pallet will have that exact breakdown, but generally speaking the latter percentages are fairly accurate to describe the average expected condition. Please note exact working % of any particular pallet/load is unknown and items are normaly untested.   Is there a Risk in purchasing Department Store Returns? In the long term and looking at several purchases most people in this industry would agree that the payoffs and money returns are generally very good and that the long-term risk is generally minimal.   However when looking at any single purchase - YES - there is a definite risk in purchasing such types of items - and all items are sold AS-IS regardless of anyone's best intentions to advertise each load as accurately as possible. All persons contemplating purchasing such items must be aware and prepared of the risk. Like most businesses in life - the higher the risks - the Higher the potential returns.   Should everyone be  purchasing Department Store Returns? No. Purchasing department store returns is not for everyone. This is not a 'get rich quick & easily' scheme. The payoffs are high for those prepared to work hard to create the highest possible return on investment. This is a 'get-rich consistently with hard work & creativity scheme'. If you are not prepared to test items do not purchase. If you are not prepared to repair items - do not purchase. If you only want to deal with 100% retail ready items do not purchase. If you are not prepared to expect a percentage of items to be out of box, defective, cosmetically blemished etc. do not purchase.   If you are prepared to test, fix, clean, cannibalize, be creative in sales & open new sales channels in order to get the most revenue back then do purchase. Purchasing returns is not for everyone, and it generally involves more work and resources then purchasing brand new items. Please do not get this wrong, after all we do not want to discourage you, this is a profitable business for the large majority. The industry as a whole is approximately $100 Billion in size.   Who will arrange delivery?We do not have local pickup. However, we are able to offer you very competitive shipping rates to any destination worldwide. Depending on the "load" which you purchase, there is sometimes the option to reduce shipping costs, and "break down" the pallet into 2,3,4 or 5 large cartons which we will then ship using UPS or UPS Hundred Weight. This can sometimes reduce shipping costs especially when shipping to a residential address - though only some of our pallets can be shipped in this way.   Though Midwestern Wholesale will arrange shipping for you - any claims should be made directly with the carrier. We are not responsible for freight rates, lost, delayed or merchandise damage due to shipping. All shipping quotes are given with no insurance unless specifically requested by the customer.   What is the cost of shipping?  Shipping cost depend on the following: (i) What type of pallet/listing you are purchasing (ii) How many pallets/listings you are purchasing (iii) Whether we are delivering to a business or a residential address, and whether you need a lift-gate or not (see question below for more info on lift-gate). Typically speaking lift-gate charges are around $35 and extra delivery charges to a residence are around $45. Customers who do not have a business where we can deliver the pallet can save the residential charges by opting to pick-up the pallets at their nearest terminal.   Generally speaking, the cost to ship one pallet ranges from $90 - $250 and varies according to weight and contents of the pallet. Shipping subsequent pallets is considerably cheaper - especially if shipping to a residence. Truckload shipping is calculated based on mileage and usually ranges between $1.00/mile to $2.00/mile with a minimum charge of $350.   What Information do I need to provide in order to get a shipping quote? Please provide us with the following information: (i) Zip Code (ii) Whether you have a business or residential delivery address. (iii) Whether you require a truck with a lift-gate (for lowering the pallets to the ground). (iv) The number and type of pallets you would like to receive a shipping quote for. Please note: all shipping quotes sent out are only quotes, and are to be confirmed once order is placed.   If I am unsatisfied with the goods I receive what can I do? These goods are sold "AS IS" and all sales are final. There is no guarantee or warranty, express or implied and without limitations, of merchandise fitness or marketability.     Having said that, we do our best to manifest as accurately as possible our pallets, or explain as accurately as possible what, to the best of our knowledge and beliefs is included in each load/pallet. If for example you purchased an electronics load, and you received clothing, then of course we will fully compensate you for this. If for any reason, you are unsatisfied with a purchase from us, contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order and we will do our best to make you satisfied.
