Wholesale Buyer FAQ

Wholesale FAQ

This page is the complete guide to buying from B&D Liquidators. It covers everything about our two inventory areas: pallet inventory and mystery boxes. It explains how checkout works, how freight quoting works for pallets, how standard shipping works for mystery boxes, payment methods, pickup rules, and the most common questions buyers ask before placing an order.

Two Inventory Areas

We sell two different types of inventory. They are separate on purpose because the checkout and fulfillment process is different. If you know what you want, use the buttons on this page to go straight to the correct inventory area.

Pallet Inventory: Wholesale inventory sold by the pallet or truckload. Freight is quoted at checkout after you select the pallets you are buying. Wire transfer only unless otherwise specified.

Mystery Boxes: Standard online checkout for a shippable product. You click the mystery boxes button, choose your mystery boxes, and check out like normal online shopping. Card payments are accepted for mystery boxes with standard shipping.

Important: Pallet orders and mystery box orders are handled separately. Mystery boxes are not combined with pallet freight shipments.

Pallet Buying

Pallet inventory is designed for wholesale buyers who want to purchase inventory in bulk. Buyers can purchase one pallet, multiple pallets, half loads, or full truckloads depending on available listings. The key concept is simple: you choose the pallets first, then freight is quoted at checkout based on the number of pallets you selected and your destination.

How do I buy pallets?
Browse pallet inventory, add the pallets you want to your cart, then proceed to checkout. Freight is quoted at checkout after you select the pallets you are buying and enter delivery details.
Can I buy one pallet?
Yes. You can buy one pallet or multiple pallets depending on inventory availability.
Can I buy half loads or full truckloads?
Yes. The system supports one pallet, half loads, and multiple full truckloads based on what you select. Freight quoting and shipment options scale based on the amount of pallets you are buying.
What does “buy by the pallet” mean?
It means pallet inventory is sold as full pallets. Pallet listings are not sold as individual items. If a listing ever has a special exception, it will be clearly stated on that listing.
Do you allow mixed pallet orders?
Yes, when available. Buyers can mix pallet categories in a single order. Freight is then calculated at checkout based on the combined selected pallets and delivery requirements.

Freight Quoting for Pallet Orders

Freight quoting is quoted at checkout after you select the pallets you are buying. Freight depends on the amount of pallets you are buying and the delivery requirements you choose. This is why freight is quoted at checkout using your actual order.

When do I see the freight price?
You see the freight quote at checkout after you have selected the pallets you are buying and entered the delivery information.
Why can’t you quote freight before I choose pallets?
Freight depends on what you are buying. The number of pallets, pallet type, weight, and total shipment size changes the freight cost. That is why you choose the pallets first and then freight is quoted at checkout based on your order.
Do pallet prices include freight?
No. Pallet prices do not include freight. Freight is quoted at checkout after you select the pallets you are buying.
If I add more pallets, does freight change?
Yes. Freight is calculated based on the amount of pallets you are buying. Adding or removing pallets can change the freight quote.

Payment for Pallet Orders

Pallet orders are wholesale transactions. Pallet orders are wire transfer only unless otherwise specified. Mystery boxes are the product line that uses standard card checkout.

How do I pay for pallet orders?
Wire transfer only unless otherwise specified.
Do you take card payments for pallets?

What happens after I place a pallet order?
