Wholesale Business FAQs
Closeout Services Corp. has spent more than 35 years buying and selling wholesale closeout merchandise. Below are the questions wholesale buyers ask us most. For the full picture of who we are and how we work, see our Company Overview.
What kind of merchandise do you sell?
We buy and sell surplus, overstock, and liquidation merchandise across a wide range of product categories. Everything we offer is purchased and owned outright by Closeout Services Corp. — our inventory is never brokered or consigned, so you always deal directly with the owner of the goods.
How much do I have to buy?
We handle truckload, LTL (less-than-truckload), and container quantities. Most of our deals are priced for buy-all — the full lot at the best possible price — but partial quantities are available on select deals, usually at a modestly higher price per unit. Tell us what you're looking for and we'll let you know what's available.
How does pricing work?
Because we buy merchandise outright and in large quantities, our closeout pricing is among the lowest available anywhere. The exact price depends on the item and the quantity, so the best way to get a current figure is to contact us about the specific deal you have in mind.
How do I place an order?
Browse our online catalog to see what's currently in stock, then contact us about the item or lot you'd like. We'll confirm availability, pricing, and shipping, and take care of the rest. You can reach Tom Lewis directly by email or phone.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept ACH bank transfer, wire transfer, and PayPal. We'll confirm the details with you when you place your order.
Where do you ship from, and can I pick up my order?
All of our merchandise is stocked in our warehouse in Mansfield, Ohio and is ready for immediate shipment — what you see is what we have on the shelf, with no overseas sourcing delays. Orders ship FOB Ohio, and you're welcome to pick up your order at the warehouse by appointment.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We regularly work with exporters, international buyers, and distributors in markets around the world. Let us know where your order needs to go and we'll help coordinate the logistics.
What condition is the merchandise in?
Our inventory is overstock, surplus, and closeout stock. Every item comes with its own detailed flyer — photos and a full description — so you can see exactly what you're getting before you commit. If anything isn't clear from the flyer, contact us and we'll fill in the details.
Do you accept returns?
All sales are final. Because we deal in closeout and liquidation lots, merchandise is sold as described — which is exactly why every item comes with a detailed flyer up front. We're always glad to answer your questions before you order.
How long have you been in business?
Closeout Services Corp. has been in the closeout business since 1989 — more than 35 years. Over that time we've built our reputation on straightforward transactions, honest descriptions, and reliable fulfillment.
