Unmatched Appliance Truckload Deals
We get more orders and reorders on appliance loads than any other category.
Appliance truckloads are one of the few items left that do not lend themselves to online retailing. That is a good thing. There is no incentive for the retailers to pick out the premium items and retail them online like they do with tools, electronics, housewares, etc. You don’t end up with all the leftover loads like you do with the other categories.
There are 2 basic categories of appliance truckloads.
Unsold, which includes new, open box, and scratch and dent appliance truckloads.
Sold which includes customer returns

Pricing and Valuation of Appliance Truckloads
Appliance truckloads are invoiced as a percentage of retail also referred to as the cost factor. Retail can represent different values.
The 2 most common are MSRP and MAP.
MSRP represents the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, which is what an item is valued at when introduced to the market.
It is usually an inflated value on a liquidation load.
MAP represents the market adjusted price or what an item is selling for currently.
You cannot compare the cost factor of different loads because the valuation method of each load will affect your actual cost factor.
You have to look at each load individually.
Information on the Differences Between Unsold/Scratch and Dent and Customer Returns Truckloads.
Most of the scratch and dent truckloads we sell have manufacturer's warranty.
We get our scratch and dent appliance truckloads and customer returns truckloads from major retailers and manufacturers. Some of these loads come with the manufacturer’s warranty, while others do not. This is a big deal, as repairs on major appliances can be expensive, and you don’t want your customers to post bad things about your business if they purchase an appliance that breaks with no warranty. There are aftermarket warranties available, but they usually include deductibles and conditions that make filing a claim difficult.
Scratch and Dent Appliance Truckloads
Retailers and manufacturers have different definitions for scratch and dent appliance loads. Most would consider them unsold items with some level of cosmetic damage. There is too much to sell on the retail floor as a new-in-the-box item, but not enough to be considered salvage. These are popular loads with stores that do not want to set up a service department. Most unsold items are functional out of the box. These loads cost more than customer returns, but they are still very popular.
Other unsold items include new, open box, and floor samples. These are expensive to the point it can be difficult to turn a profit.
Appliance Returns Truckloads
People return appliances for a number of reasons. The majority of them do not involve functionality. Returns can result from the appliance will not fit correctly in the customer's kitchen, being scratched during shipping to the customer's residence, the wrong color, a cancelled order, the customer not liking the appliance, and other reasons that do not involve functionality. These items are usually fully functional.
The quality of returns loads can vary greatly due to the source. The good ones can exceed scratch and dent loads because all the items don’t have cosmetic damage. Some loads run rough. The Lowes small center returns loads are the best returns loads we get. They usually run cleaner than average with good manifests. You also get the balance of the manufacturer’s warranty from the time the appliance was placed in service. The loads turn over quickly, which leads to lots of current appliances with warranty.
Warranty
Some of the scratch and dent and customer returns loads come with manufacturer’s warranty, but many do not. Many loads sold on online auctions have the manufacturer’s warranty voided. This is extremely important as appliance repairs can be expensive and upset customers that have to make out of warranty repairs can take to social media and make negative comments on your business.
The majority of appliance loads we sell come with manufacturer’s warranty in full or part.
Increase Your Sales And Profit Margins.
Finance Your Customers
Purchases Practically Risk-Free
There are companies that want to finance these people’s appliance purchases. Many of them are subprime lenders and are willing to take on people with poor, little, or no credit. Not everyone gets approved, but plenty do. This gives you access to this low-income market that you did not previously have.
The actual note and collection are between the finance company and your customer purchasing the appliance. The appliance company pays you within a few days of the sale. You are not loaning your customers anything. If there is a default by the purchaser, it remains between them and the finance company. You are out of it. You do want to check the conditions of each individual finance company.
