Home & kitchen is one of the categories we buy
SHK Sales has bought excess retail inventory since 1988, and home & kitchen is one of the categories we buy every day, alongside general merchandise and nearly every other retail category. If housewares or kitchen products are taking up space in your warehouse, we can make you a cash offer on the lot.
Why home & kitchen stock ends up in excess
Home goods follow trends in colors, finishes and styles, and they often come in bulky cartons that eat warehouse space fast. Common reasons we see:
- Seasonal and promotional buys that did not sell through.
- Discontinued colors or styles after a collection refresh.
- Packaging changes that leave good product in the old box.
- Production overruns from the factory.
- Canceled orders from a retail customer, already made and packed.
All of these fit the six kinds of inventory we buy: closeouts, overstock, overruns, discontinued products, packaging changes and canceled orders.
Who we buy home & kitchen inventory from
Manufacturers and brands, big box stores and national retailers, online sellers and small businesses, including businesses that are closing down. We buy across the United States and worldwide, including from overseas suppliers and factories.
What to send for a fast offer
A spreadsheet, a line sheet or a few photos is plenty. The more complete the list, the firmer the offer:
- Products or SKUs, with brand and quantities.
- Case pack and pallet details.
- Condition: new in box, retail-ready, or mixed. If anything is not new, note the condition.
- Where the goods are and your timeline.
Every offer is built on the real goods: product and brand, condition and packaging, quantity and mix, timing, dates, and how complete the list is.
Fewer cartons, more space
Bulky home goods are some of the most expensive stock to hold. Clearing them frees warehouse space for faster-moving products, saves the cost of counting and moving the same pallets cycle after cycle, and turns the value still in the goods into cash before newer styles arrive. It costs nothing to send the list and see the number.
Cash upfront, without disrupting your channels
We pay cash upfront for retail products, and once a deal is agreed we arrange to move the goods, from a few pallets up to multiple truckloads. If you are a brand worried about where your housewares end up, tell us; SHK can take excess stock off your hands without disrupting your existing wholesale or retail markets.
