UpLiquidation is a liquidation company located in Dallas, Texas, with over a decade of experience. Researching the brand, I found the following information:
- 15+ years of experience in reverse logistics
- Top-rated liquidator since 2015
- Multiple truckload and lot size options
Everyone in the retail arbitrage and reselling industry is purchasing truckloads and lots from liquidation sites, so let’s see how the company works in our UpLiquidation review.
How Does UpLiquidation Work?
UpLiquidation’s site is easy to use, with contact information at the top if you want to call them or reach support via email. Clear buying instructions are provided, but the site’s intuitive enough to figure out most of these steps already.
You’ll need to do a few things:
- Browse through the assortment of truckloads and pallets. You’ll look through multiple options, but remember that since many contain thousands of items, you won’t see them all in pictures.
- Select the box, truckload or pallet that you want to order. You’ll find that some offer 8 or 16 pallets, and you can easily change your options on the offer page. Truckloads will go to your cart and are easy to add or remove.
- Add in your information for the team to process. This is where UpLiquidation is different from bidding sites because your order isn’t instant. The team will process your order manually, so you’ll need to wait for someone to get back to you with information on how much shipping costs will be.
- If you accept the freight quote, which you’re under no obligation to do, then you’ll proceed to the next step. Team members are quick to provide quotes, most taking 4 – 6 hours to complete.
- Wire transfers are required to purchase the truckload or pallet, and all of these details are provided by the support team. Once the wire is sent, the funds need to be verified, and then the shipment is dispatched.
A few steps that are a bit different are having to wait for support to contact you with a shipping quote, but since the inventory is owned by the company, it makes sense that they need to get quotes from multiple freight carriers beforehand.
What I do want to mention in this review is that unlike other liquidation companies that connect you with sellers, UpLiquidation owns all of their stock. The company’s buying power allows them to store truckloads in its own warehouses and cuts out the “middleman.”
If you have any issues with your order or questions, you only need to contact UP and not a third party.
Prices for truckloads and pallets are also lower than a lot of the competing sites, and it’s nice not having to worry about bids that you may not win.
What Types of Merchandise are Available?
UpLiquidation offers truckloads and pallets from the biggest retailers in the world.
Buyers have a few options when it comes to sizes and types of merchandise.
You can purchase truckloads or pallets.
You’ll find merchandise from a variety of categories, including:
- General
- Home goods
- Apparel
- Electronics
Electronics and home goods often contain high-ticket items that you can easily resell for much more than what you paid.
And because UpLiquidation cuts out the middleman, you can be confident that you’re paying the lowest possible price for your pallet or truckload.
What to Expect from Customer Service
Customer support will play an integral role in the buying process, so it’s important to know what to expect when buying from UpLiquidation.
Once you’ve added your pallet/truckload to your cart and input your basic info, a member of the team will process your order details and contact you to discuss shipping. Support aims to get in touch with buyers within a few hours of placing an order.
Customer support will answer any questions you have about the process and will be there to assist you at every stage.
You can also get in touch with customer service before you place an order if you have a question or want to learn more about their offerings. UpLiquidation has options for live chat, telephone and email support. They say they’re available 24/7, so you can reach out at any time.
