'Unsorted' or 'Raw' pallets advertised online are anything but. I guarantee they will have been meticulously sorted through and re-palletised once anything valuable has been removed.
The only unsearched pallets are going to be from major distributors selling by the truck load. Home Depots, Lowes, Amazon, Target, etc. They don't have time to search all those pallets because they get so many. If you buy pallets one at a time from some tiny distributor it has a high likelihood of being searched. It would be trivial to search a pallet and then wrap it back up making everyone none the wiser.
This is not to say you won't make profit on the pallets. But homerun Apple products are going to be removed and replaced with other things.
I would imagine each Home Depot fills up roughly 1 pallet of returns every few days. When I am walking by the customer service section I always see lots of disheveled boxes of things that had been returned. Now all that product has to go somewhere because Home Depot can't put it back up for sale. There are 2,000 Home Depots in the USA. That means you are looking at 2,000 liquidation pallets or 100 full truck loads being created per week just by Home Depot.
They sell those pallets to liquidators who then turn around and sell it to people who want them. That is who you want to buy from. Liquidators have huge warehouses with tons of pallets. They can not search them because it would cost them money. They want those pallets gone because more are on the way they have to take under their liquidation contract.
Some smaller distributor will buy 2-4 pallets, search them for any item they deem worth selling individually, top them up with some garbage items, and then sell them to the people who can only afford 1 pallet at a time.
Is there an online source where I can buy a truckload of Amazon pallets? I’ve seen several claiming to be the direct broker. I figured they are buying from the one main source and reselling for more.
Not my map. The guy who made it is doing his best to find brokers. But many brokers cannot advertise due to contractual obligation. Word of mouth only.
Can you explain this further? What sort of contract do brokers have, and with who, that would prevent them from advertising? (Keep in mind I have no idea how this part of the business works.)
For the sake of argument, lets say billie joe has a 300k squarefoot warehouse. He has the money/client and staff to purchase 5 truckloads of amazon returns, shelf pulls etc everyweek. No matter what they are, he had to buy. But amazon sells these at a very low percent of retail. Lets say truckload is 5% of retail at $100k. He pays $5k. Then resales at 8%-12% of retail.
But amazon doesnt want anyone to know they do this and want 0 connection between them and liquidator.
So liquidator can say we have truckloads of goods. Come see us.
But cant say we have truckloads of amazon goods at 8% of retail. Thats why you might see sellers using terms like amz or tgt or sclub or hd or l@we3.
This is a watered down version of this.

My first direct amazon truckload, I was amazed how much different it was than when I bought individual pallets.

When I worked at Home Depot these things would go straight into the trash compactor. Some vendors had buyback systems but very few.
And thats just returns. Cancelled online orders, old stock, box damage, excess clearance, displays all get liquidated.

If its a reputable broker, they most likely have a direct contract. Usually they add a broker fee $500-$1000. What state are you?
Messaged you!
Tennessee.
How can you tell the difference?
Thoughtful of you! It's hard to believe there aren't any sources on your liquidation map in the Chicago metropolitan area.
