New case-packed closeout & excess inventory buyer

Distinguish retail units from master cases

A master case contains a defined number of sellable units. State both counts and explain retail multipacks separately. For example, a retail two-pack can be one sellable unit inside a larger shipping case. Do not use cartons and cases interchangeably if the boxes contain mixed or inconsistent quantities. Clear units make an initial review much more useful.

Show the packaging as it is today

Provide photos of the retail package, outer carton labels and seals. Identify whether cartons are factory-packed, reboxed or opened for inspection. New merchandise may still have carton wear or older artwork, so describe those details rather than relying on new as the only condition statement. Disclose missing components or damaged packaging separately.

• Brand, item description and UPC
• Units per case and available case count
• Original or repacked cartons, pallet count and location

Describe why the stock is available

Explain whether the opportunity comes from excess purchasing, a packaging change, an outgoing product line or a seasonal transition. Include printed dates and lot codes where relevant. Separate stock committed to other buyers from the quantity offered to MRT. The source of the closeout helps frame the discussion, while the actual product and condition determine how it is evaluated.

Submit a lot that can be reviewed

Attach an organized inventory list and current photos. If goods are spread across several warehouses, identify the quantities at each location. Share your target timing and any distribution requirements. MRT discusses the merchandise, pricing and logistics directly, with each purchase subject to an individual review and agreement.
