Please
note - the descriptions given below represent our
opinion for each grade. You will always get good parcels
and bad parcels when dealing in return goods. We can not
offer any form of guarantee on individual parcels and we
do not accept returns on any goods
If you are not sure do not buy or come along to
the warehouse and view parcels before you buy

Clearance
: This is stocks which have
been cleared from the source company to make way for new
stocks. The vast majority of this stock is from the
warehouses of some of the largest Mail Order companies in
the UK and, as such, is believed to be in perfect
condition. It is always possible to get seconds or
warehouse damaged good so please bear this in mind. In
addition to the warehouse clearance we also receive stocks
which are shop or store clearance. Whilst condition of
these items is also believed to be perfect you can find
some that the general quality is not as good or that you
receive shop soiled items. The only down side to these
lots would be that they can be older goods as some
companies hold them in storage to ensure they are not
released into the market at a reduced value whilst they
are still selling them themselves.

Mixed
Returns : These are simply
items which have been ordered from a mail order company
and then sent back by their customer. The reasons for a
customer returning an item are endless, they include items
damaged in transit, parts missing, the wrong colour, the
item didn't match the description or just that the
customer was not happy when it arrived.
You can also find items that have been used and gone
faulty or an item that has been damaged by the customer
and then returned. The amount of good to bad in every
parcel is different and you do need to be able to check,
repair and maybe make one good out of two faulty items.
Whilst the work involved in these pallets is more
involved, they are normally sold at a lower % of the
retail value and allow for a much better profit for
customers willing to put the extra effort in
Checked
Faulty Returns : These are
goods which are known to be damaged and fault when
returned. They tend to come from the retail stores we deal
with but you will also find parcels from Mail Order
companies or, in the case of Audio stocks they will have
been through a service center when returned and found to
be damaged and non working items.
Boxed
Returns
: These are exactly the same as standard returns, the only
exception is that every item has its original box. You
will still get working and none working items but we do
tend to find overall condition is better
|
|
Scrap
: Pretty self explanatory
really. These are pallets we get from a number of Audio
service centers, mainly those used by the mail order
companies to carry out warranty work. The items on these
lots are only useful for parts and many will have had
components and cases removed.
For any customer buying the Return Audio stocks they are
invaluable, as the parts alone for repairs can cost a
lot. You also find that because the source of the
Returns and the Scrap is the same, the parts needed can
usually be found.

Grade
1 stocks are mainly
clothing & footwear but may also be found in the
general stocks. They are all customer returns which have
been checked and have either no fault at all or very
minor faults that may need a repair. Whilst the system
is very good it is always possible to get an item with
the Grade 1 which should really be Grade 2, if this
happens there is nothing we can do. It is simply part of
dealing with graded returns
|

Grade
2 stocks are once again
mainly clothing & footwear but can also be found in
the general stocks now and then. They are simply the
returns which have been checked as damaged, washed or
worn when returned. They are sold at a very low rate and
we currently have a waiting list for the parcels. Any
that do become available are added to our site.

|
Mixed
Grades : Because we get
stocks from many different sources each has there own
way of dealing with returns, some companies check them
some simply pack them up and sell them on. When we get
these lots we simply sell them as they are. They will
contain brand new, faulty, damaged, and scrap items and
each varies. Overall they tend to be a good buy but you
do need to understand they are raw returns
