Explain what reclamation means for this lot
Describe whether the goods are shelf pulls, packaging-damaged items, returns, discontinued merchandise or another recovery stream. Identify any mixture of these groups. A label used internally by a retailer or warehouse may not communicate the same condition to a buyer, so provide plain-language details and examples of the actual merchandise.
Identify usable information and uncertainty
Supply a SKU manifest where available and explain whether the counts are verified or estimated. Note what has been opened, sorted, inspected or tested. Include dated inventory information and known handling issues. If some parts of the load have not been examined, say so rather than extending a sample condition to the entire shipment.
Show the goods and any exclusions
Photograph full pallets, representative cartons and relevant product labels. Disclose leaking goods, missing parts, broken packaging and other known exceptions. Identify products subject to sale restrictions or recall concerns separately; a liquidation inquiry should not imply that every item can be resold. MRT reviews the stated assortment and can discuss what belongs in a potential purchase.
- Source and meaning of the reclamation designation
- Manifest quality, category mix and condition notes
- Dates, exceptions, photos and any items excluded from the offer
Discuss the available load and movement schedule
Provide the number of pallets, inventory location, loading access and desired timing. Explain whether it is a one-time lot or a recurring inventory stream, without assuming a standing purchase commitment. Pricing and logistics depend on the merchandise reviewed and terms agreed with MRT. Submission is the first step in that discussion.
Before you submit.
Are reclamation pallets always damaged merchandise?
The label alone is not specific enough. Describe the underlying inventory stream and condition, including any new goods, shelf pulls, returns or damaged items.
Can I submit a mixed-category reclamation load?
Yes. Break down the categories and known condition as clearly as possible. Include manifests and actual photos where available.
Is a retail-value total enough for a quote?
No. MRT needs product, quantity, condition and logistics details to assess the opportunity. A retail-value estimate does not show the usable assortment or handling required.
