Ever wondered how you can buy returned Amazon goods for cheap? With so many people making returns for their online purchases, it’s likely that you’ll find some hidden treasures within these goods. In this article, we’ll tell you exactly where to find Amazon’s returned goods so you can buy in bulk and collect the items for yourself.
Steps
Section 1 of 4:
What does Amazon do with returns?
Download Article
Amazon collects their returns and loads them onto pallets. If you’ve ever sent something back to Amazon, whether it was the wrong size, broken, or the wrong item all together, it’s most likely gone into a warehouse and is being stored in a large pallet. Amazon groups hundreds of items together in 1 pallet and then sells them in bulk to recoup some of their money.[1]XResearch source
Amazon usually sells the pallets to liquidation companies, who then sell the pallets to individual customers (like you!).
Not all items returned to Amazon are sold. Some of them go straight to a landfill. However, Amazon has said that they are working toward a zero waste return policy.[2]XResearch source

Where can you buy Amazon returns?
Download Article
1 Amazon warehouse If you’re looking for individual items, Amazon warehouse sells pre-owned, returned, and opened goods at a lower price. You can shop by category and check the condition of the product before you buy.[3]XResearch source
Unlike most other sites, Amazon Warehouse has a “buy it now” option rather than a bidding process.
2 Bstock.com Bstock.com is one of Amazon’s direct liquidation outlets. On their site, you can find individual items, pallets, and even truckloads of returned goods. Find an auction and make your bid to purchase bulk items all at once.[4]XResearch source
Bstock.com also offers returned goods from Dell, Macy’s, Sears, and more.
They also grade their goods from A-D: A being the best quality, and D being the worst quality.
3 Liquidation.com Liquidation.com is another one of Amazon’s direct liquidation sellers. You can purchase pallets or truckloads of returned products, all purchased by bids that you make via online auction. Liquidation.com has several warehouses across America, so it’s likely that you’ll get your goods fast.[5]XResearch source
They also sell returns from Walmart, Target, Wayfair, Sony, and more.
4 MartHill.co.uk If you live in the UK, Mart Hill is the best way to buy returned Amazon products. On their site, you can sort by category to find pallets of returned goods. Unfortunately, Mart Hill does not separate their goods by retailer, so there’s no way to know which products are coming from Amazon and which products are coming from other retailers.[6]XResearch source
Mart Hill mostly sells return pallets via auction.
5 Gemwholesale.co.uk Another UK liquidation site, Gem Wholesale is a way to find pallets of returned goods. You can search by category to find the pallet you’re looking to purchase, then make a bid on it.

How much do Amazon return pallets cost?
Download Article
Amazon return pallets typically cost between $300 and $400. Prices vary because most of the pallets are sold via an auction. Keep in mind that once you purchase an Amazon pallet, you will most likely have to pay for shipping on top of that price.[7]XResearch source
Auction prices usually vary depending on the condition of the items inside. Most liquidation services will tell you the grade of the goods, ranging from new or like new products, all the way down to “salvage,” which means you can use it for parts only.[8]XResearch source
Section 4 of 4:
What can you expect on Amazon return pallets?
Download Article
Expect a mystery box full of items you can use or resell. Many people choose to sell most of the products that they purchase to profit off of their returned goods. Keep in mind that you never know what’s going to be inside of a return pallet, and most companies do not accept returns once you purchase one.[9]XResearch source
To get the most out of your Amazon return pallet, be sure to check the listing details carefully. Most sites will specify the quality of the products inside so you have a vague idea of what you’re getting.
On most sites, you can sort by category to choose the type of products you’re purchasing.
Most customers receive enough products to make back most if not all of the money they spent. However, it’s always a gamble!
