Can you buy liquidation directly from a department store?

Yes you can buy customer returns, closeout, overstock, shelf-pulls and display items by the wholesale lot (Bill of Lading or B.L.) from major retailers. The method involves you obtaining a salvage contract ( buyer agreement) from the retailer. Some stores run their own liquidation program (e.g. Macy's Liquidation program). Other retailers out source their salvage and returns management to third party service providers( e.g. Sears Holding out sources their Kmart and Sears stores customer returns to a service company named Genco. Genco operates the return centers and sells the liquidated items for Sears.)The last way that retailers sell liquidation merchandise is through job outs. e.g Jacobs Trading buys all of the returned merchandise from most U.S. Walmart stores and sells the merchandise for a profit.


If a good bought on sale is exchanged should the customer pay the price difference?

Best practice customer service would say that the customer should be allowed to return the item or good for like merchandise if the item purchased was defective without an increase in cost. However should the customer choose and item of greater expense that it is not the same as the original good purchased. Then they should pay the difference in cost and only then. Identical exchange should not incur an additional charge. Not if you ever want to see that customer again. Finally, if your concern is that this policy might cause or allow for chronic returns with a no defective product or good simply develop a simple tracking system that monitors both customer returns as well as product or specific good rate of return and watch for patterns of abuse.
