Comments Comments
 

Name Brand Closeout Overstock and Surplus Wholesale Distribution

The first thing you’ll notice at Rock Bottom Deals’ website, rockbottomdeals.biz, is the name brand goods–brands you know, brands your customer will know–in every major shopping category, including automotive, baby, cleaning supplies, clothing, electronics, books and media, food, health and beauty, home improvement, housewares, jewelry, gifts, office, paper goods, party supplies, pet, seasonal, toys, sports and games and general merchandise.

When I say name brands, I really do mean that Rock Bottom Deals is a wholsesale distributor for manufacturer surplus, overstocks and department store closeouts of large, national brands, including Conair, Cabbage Patch Kids, Sharp Electronics, Aquafresh, Hannah Montana, Centrum Vitamins, Rose Art and 3M – and those were just from the first few pages I used to grab examples!

Rock Bottom Deals specializes in closeout, overstock, discontinued and surplus wholesale merchandise, including irregulars, shelf pulls (that might have pricing stickers on them from the original store) and repacked cases, where the product is not in its original shipping box but still has the original consumer-level packaging for each individual piece. Rock Bottom Deals sells their discount inventory by the case with no minimum order, but there is a minimum shipping charge of $19.95, so do make sure that if you’re going to place a small order that you order enough to justify your shipping costs. Uniquely, Rock Bottom Deals accepts Paypal as well as most major credit cards. They do not accept checks.

Resellers can take advantage of Rock Bottom Deals’ huge wholesale and closeout inventory with a dropshipping service; additionally, Rock Bottom Deals will blind ship, e.g., ship product to your customers without revealing that they are the middle man. Rock Bottom Deals welcomes eBay sellers and other Internet storefronts.

Drop shipping has been around for over 100 years, and has become a term associated with the internet because of all the eBay sellers and online stores. Most people looking to start an online business would think that it started because of the internet. The fact is the Sears & Roebuck Catalog used dropshipping as part of its business model over 100 years ago after it first started selling watches. Drop shipping allows companies to handle orders on an economical and efficient basis.

Drop Shipping as defined at Wikipedia.org:

Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to wholesalers, who then ship the goods directly to the customer under the retailer’s name.

The Sears catalog when it first started was a company that used drop shipping as method to increase product assortment and decrease cost structures. It allowed Sears to offer more products, while not having to warehouse or handle the merchandise before the product was sent to the customer via the post office. Sears would take the order and then have the manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor ship it direct to the customer. In fact they even sold build it yourself houses in the same manner. So weather you want to sell salt and pepper shakers or houses, drop shipping business model can work. The key to a successful online drop shipping business is to find trusted sources that can perform and do what they promise.

Drop shipping allows you to start a business at minimal cost. All you need to do is find good dropshipping sources that have products you know will sell. Determine where you will sell your products. You can sell the product on eBay, open and online store or conduct house parties.
