How to Sell Surplus Stock in the UK: A Straightforward Guide

If you are sitting on pallets of branded stock you need to move, whether it is short-dated, overstocked or from a cancelled order, this guide explains how the UK surplus stock trade works and how to get a fair price quickly.

Who buys surplus stock?

Specialist traders like us. We buy branded FMCG goods, beauty, health, baby, pet, toys, household and grocery, and resell them through retail channels. Because we sell direct to consumers, we can pay sensible prices and still move volume fast.

What makes stock sellable?

• Branded goods sell far more easily than unbranded
• Sealed, unused condition is essential
• Clear information: brands, quantities, best before dates and location speed everything up
• Volume: from a single pallet up to several truckloads

What is your stock worth?

It depends on the brand, the dates and the demand. Be realistic: clearance prices are below wholesale, which is exactly why the stock moves fast. The trade-off is speed and certainty, cash in your account rather than stock in your warehouse eating storage fees.

How the process works with us

1. Get in touch with a quick description of the stock: brands, quantities, dates and where it is.
2. Fast decision. We have been buying FMCG stock for over a decade and come back quickly with a straightforward offer.
3. Paid in full on delivery. No drawn-out payment terms. Stock arrives, you get paid.
