Surplus and Overstock Inventory, Resolved at Scale
When inventory exceeds demand, it becomes operational drag.
United Liquidations purchases surplus and overstock inventory outright, converting excess goods into recovered cash while clearing space, labor, and carrying cost exposure.
Surplus & Overstock Questions
Who buys surplus and overstock inventory?

We buy inventory that has slowed, stalled, or exceeded planned demand, even when velocity has materially declined.
Is this consignment or brokerage?
United Liquidations buys inventory outright. There is no consignment, brokerage, or revenue-sharing model.
Do you buy inventory in bulk or by SKU?
We purchase surplus and overstock inventory in bulk lots, not through per-SKU resale programs.
Can you handle pickup and removal?
United Liquidations purchases the inventory and coordinates logistics to remove it quickly.
Operational Challenges
Where Surplus and Overstock Break Operations
Excess inventory creates cost, complexity, and risk the longer it remains.
Forecast Misses
Inventory volumes exceed real demand.
Forecast Misses
Inventory volumes exceed real demand.
The Reality
Forecast variance creates surplus units that outpace sell-through. As inventory ages, recovery options narrow.
Our Approach
We purchase forecast-driven surplus outright, allowing teams to reset inventory positions instead of managing prolonged overhang.
What This Means for You
Space Saturation
Excess goods crowd productive inventory.
Space Saturation
Excess goods crowd productive inventory.
The Reality
Overstock consumes racking, floor space, and overflow capacity needed for active SKUs.
Our Approach
We remove overstock in bulk so facilities can reallocate space to revenue-generating inventory.
What This Means for You
Carrying Cost Accumulation
Time compounds holding costs.
Carrying Cost Accumulation
Time compounds holding costs.

What This Means for You
Optimizing Warehouse Density Through Strategic Buyouts
When inventory stops moving, it starts occupying your most expensive asset.
The primary cost of excess inventory is not the sunk capital—it is the opportunity cost of the space it consumes. In modern high-density distribution centers, warehouse capacity is the limiting factor for growth. Every pallet of overstock that sits in a prime racking position forces incoming revenue-generating goods into more expensive, less efficient overflow storage.
United Liquidations serves as a high-capacity release valve for inventory-heavy businesses. We don’t just "pick" through your best items; we specialize in full-lot buyouts that clear entire sections of your facility. This "clean sweep" approach is the most efficient way to reset your warehouse density and restore the operational velocity required for your core business.
Working with a direct buyer provides finality. Unlike brokers who may need weeks to find multiple buyers for a large position, we leverage our own capital to close the deal and move the goods immediately. We take title to the entire lot—regardless of the mix of categories—providing you with a single point of contact, a single payment, and a cleared floor.
