Shipping Appliance Truckloads and LTLs

Shipping these large appliances will be more difficult than other small items—and will be more costly. Luckily, B-Stock offers truckload and LTL auctions. Truckload buying can save on per-unit costs with more efficient stacking of appliances. When you purchase goods in bulk, you pay less than shipping each item or series of items. 

LTL auctions are also worthwhile if you’re limited by space. You can start with a more manageable amount of units; this is helpful if you’re just filling a few inventory gaps. Check out the average number of units you can find in a full truckload versus less-than-truckload auctions across our appliance marketplaces.

Full Truckload (FTL)

• FTLs contain 42 units* on average

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)

• LTLs contain 23 units* on average

Accurate at the time of publishing – always review the lot manifest for exact unit quanitites.

As a reminder: most major appliance lots are floor loaded. Meaning, inventory won’t come palletized or require specific equipment to unload. While some marketplaces will offer palletized lots from specific locations, this is not the most common method for shipping appliances. 

Scratch and dent, returned, and overstock appliances

Uniform conditions across most appliance storefronts! 

B-Stock auctions don’t leave you guessing. We have uniform conditions across most appliance storefronts! It is important to understand the distinction between inventory types, as well.  

Scratch & Dent Appliances

The term scratch and dent refers to slight cosmetic damage to the exterior of the merchandise. These scratches and dents only affect the aesthetics of the product, not the overall functionality. On B-Stock, these are defined as: Unused merchandise with signs of handling and/or warehouse exposure that is sellable without repairs needed.

Scratch and dent appliances from Costco and Lowe’s, for example, could have been returned due to slight cosmetic damage that occurred during shipping. This can be a headache for retailers, but is good news for buyers looking for discounted appliances! The chain effect of customers sending back scratch and dented inventory to retailers and manufacturers for a shiny, new unit results in liquidation appliances. Buyers like you can bid on scratch and dent appliances in perfect working order, at pennies on the dollar. 

Like New Appliances

On B-Stock, ‘Like New’ is defined as: Unused merchandise with minimal signs of handling. These appliances could include old or obsolete models, inventory that didn’t sell in stores, or have been sitting in the warehouse too long. Bidding may be higher for like new goods, but the resale value is naturally higher. However, in a pinch, most customers won’t mind a scratch or dent if they’re getting a good enough discount! Or, if the cosmetic damage won’t be noticed in a space like a laundry room.   

Used Appliances 

A large percentage of the major appliances listed on the marketplace are customer returns. On B-Stock, ‘Used’ is defined as: Merchandise with visible signs of use and/or functional damage that may include but is not limited to water/food stains, lint/detergent present, scratches/dents, missing parts, etc.

Note: If you’re searching for small appliances (think: mixers, vacuums, coffee makers, etc.), these can be broken down even further as Used – Good or Used – Fair. 

Other conditions on B-Stock: 

• Salvage: Merchandise requiring significant repairs prior to resale or else will be used for parts/components only.
• Mixed: Can include products of any quality, including salvage. There’s no guarantee of one particular product condition unless specified in the manifest or auction details.

Appliance listings feature image samples of what merchandise in that condition looks like.
