Q
& A / Policy
-------------------------------------------
Call 1-800-711-4603 for more information!!!
How
do we get the merchandise here to my state? We offer
shipping to you at our discounted cost, or you may use
your own means.
What
are the shipping costs? Items come from all over the
U.S. So, shipping will depend on what you are interested
in and your zip code.
How
do we accept payment? We accept cash, cashier's check,
money orders or bank wire transfers. In regards to wire
transfers, the buyer should call us before and after
they have transferred the funds. It takes from 45 minutes
to 12 hours for us to receive wires. Once our bank confirms
the transaction, the shipment is ready for pickup. If
everything goes right, we try to have it all taken care
and on the road within 24 hours.
How
long does it take from the time a truck hits the road
until I get my truckload? Shipping time depends on FOB
location to your location. In most cases it takes 5
business days. It could be as high as 12 business days
if your area is in a small city and has a long point
to point distance. What ever the case may be, the trucking
company will call you before delivery. You will also
have a tracking number as soon as the trucking is paid
for.
Do
I pay you for trucking or do I pay your trucking company?
It does not matter. It would be a little quicker if
you pay us at time of wire transfer. Or, we can have
it sent collect so you pay the shipping company when
it arrives. Some customers like this as it gives them
time to make more money before the load arrives. If
a load is to be sent collect, our shippers need to register
you with them. You will need to fill out a credit form.
This however, could delay the load departing for a day
or two. You can also pay the trucking the same day you
send a wire to us. Trucking is offered as a courtesy
to our customers. We offer it at at our discounted cost.
Are
there any other costs that I should be made aware of?
Not really. Our prices given before a purchase are rock
solid. Shipping by the container (40 foot truck) is
rock solid as well. If you are buying by the pallet,
there could be a slight increase, or decrease, depending
on the class and weight of the item. The only other
costs that I can think of that may apply is with having
the right equipment to unload the truck, i.e. fork lift,
pallet jack, and loading dock. When we arrange shipping,
we ask these type of questions, so this should not be
a problem down the road.
Do
we have any contracts to sign? Yes & No. If a buyer
is purchasing Department Store goods with us, they must
read and sign a paper that they would agree to, for
instance, remove the Department Store tags before resale,
and the like. As far as our company goes, no, you can
buy a load from us once or as many times as you like.
We do not make much off of one truckload. Our money
is made from customers coming back and buying often.
We try as best as we can to offer high quality loads
at the right price so that our customers can make money,
like our service, and keep coming back.
It
seems that some of the Department Store Loads are "Blind"
? This is true, some of them are not inventoried, nor
do they have a manifest. Such loads are sold to us by
the truckload & sometimes by the pallet. In this Q and
A, I cannot mention Department store names, but, if
I could, you would see that many of the top Department
Stores sell off their salvage loads this way. This is
not a bad thing, but a very good thing. If they added
up their costs per truckload, our prices would be much
higher. One place that we sell a lot of loads from,
estimates their average cost per pallet is $3,000.00.
That's at their cost. We sell these by the truckload.
There are 22 pallets per truckload. We sell them for
approximately $425.00 a pallet. So a truckload is $9,350.00
our price, with $66,000.00 at their cost! This is 90%
name brand stuff!! That has a restriction though, No
West Coast Sales. That was just an example. So the trick
is to buy Department Store loads that contain mostly
small items. This way, you get a huge amount of products
& much larger profits.
