Mixed pallets of stock, priced as one lot.
Manifested mixed pallets, end-of-line cases and whole warehouse exits, drawing on the same categories the desk trades every day. One price for the lot, a line-by-line manifest to judge it on, and the lowest-commitment way to test how clearance buying works.
- Every load manifested line by line
- One lot, one price
- Pallet to full warehouse exits
A format, not a category.
Mixed overstock isn't a tenth aisle: it's the desk's other eight categories arriving under one wrap. A retailer's range reset produces grocery beside household beside confectionery; a warehouse exit produces whatever the racking held on the day. The categories don't change, the wrap does, and the load is priced as one lot rather than line by line.
That single price is the point. Sorting, splitting and merchandising a mixed load is work, and the price assumes you're the one doing it: a manifested mixed pallet costs less per unit than the same stock bought as clean single lines. The manifest is the whole game here, category, dates and condition stated per line, so you know exactly what's under the wrap before you reply.
The format spans the desk's extremes. At one end, a single mixed pallet is the cheapest possible test of how clearance buying works, sized for a market stall or a first-time buyer. At the other, warehouse exits and full lorry loads move volumes that only jobbers and secondary wholesalers can clear, at prices set for exactly that trade.
What lands in mixed overstock
Shapes rather than aisles, manifested throughout:
Mixed single-category pallets
One aisle under one wrap: a grocery mix or a household mix in case quantities sized for a single store.
Multi-category pallets
Several aisles on one footprint, the classic mixed buy, with the split stated on the manifest.
End-of-line case lots
Clean cases of delisted and reset lines, folded into mixed loads or sold as small lots.
Out-of-code clearance pallets
Best-before-passed lines declared per line with original dates, priced for the value channel.
Warehouse-exit loads
As-found stock from site closures and clearances, manifested before offer, priced to move as one.
Full mixed lorry loads
Trailer-scale mixed volume for jobbers and wholesalers, the sharpest cost per unit on the desk.
Who buys mixed overstock
From first pallet to full trailer:
Market traders & discount independents
A manifested mixed pallet stocks a stall or a value bay in one delivery.
Jobbers & secondary wholesalers
Volume buyers who sort, split and re-trade, taking the loads others can't.
First-time clearance buyers
One mixed pallet is the smallest, cheapest way to test the desk before registering a deeper remit.
Exporters
Mixed containers built from manifested loads, where the single-lot price carries the freight.
Discount stores
Promo bays and one-off deals filled from mixed loads, brands at prices the multiples can't print.
Online sellers & bundlers
Job-lot and bundle sellers turning manifested mixed cases into listings and multi-buys.
Buying mixed loads in three steps
The remit works in reverse: tell us what you can't take.
Set your limits, not your list.
With mixed loads the useful remit is the exclusions: categories you can't sell, date positions you won't take, and your ceiling per lot.
The manifest is the offer.
Every mixed load is offered with its line-by-line manifest: category, case count, dates and condition per line, one price for the lot.
One lot, one lorry.
Palletised and tracked across the UK and Ireland, typically dispatched within 48 hours of confirmation.
Asked about
this category.
The practical questions buyers in this sector send before their first order, answered straight.
What's actually on a mixed pallet?
The same categories the desk trades as single streams: grocery, drinks, confectionery, household and the rest, in case quantities under one wrap. The exact split differs per load and the manifest states it line by line, so 'mixed' describes the wrap, never the information.
Is this a mystery box?
No, and the difference matters. Auction-style pallet sellers trade on the gamble; this desk doesn't. Every mixed load is offered with a line-by-line manifest, category, counts, dates and condition, and if a lot can't be manifested it isn't offered. You're buying a known mix at a keen price, not a bet.
Why is mixed stock cheaper per unit?
Because the sorting is yours. A mixed load carries handling work, splitting, merchandising, rerouting the lines your shop doesn't sell, and the single-lot price pays you for doing it. Buyers set up to sort fast turn that discount straight into margin.
Can I exclude categories I can't sell?
Yes, and you should: exclusions are the useful half of a mixed remit. No chilled without a fridge, no date-passed stock, no aerosols, whatever your operation can't take, state it at registration and offers stay inside it.
How do dates work across a mixed load?
Per line, exactly as in the single streams. One manifest can hold long-dated household beside short-dated grocery beside a declared best-before-passed line, each with its position stated, and the lot price already reflects the spread.
Is a mixed pallet a good first buy?
It's the classic one. A single manifested pallet is the smallest commitment on the desk, shows you the manifest-to-dock process end to end, and tells you more about what your customers take than any amount of planning. Most buyers refine their remit sharply after the first mixed load.
What sizes do mixed loads come in?
Single pallets, part-loads, full lorry loads and complete warehouse exits. The small end suits stalls and single stores; the big end is priced for jobbers and wholesalers who clear volume for a living.
What's the difference between a desk-built mix and a warehouse exit?
Who chose the contents. A desk-built mixed pallet is assembled from known lines into a deliberate spread; a warehouse exit is as-found, manifested after the fact, and usually the sharper price because nobody curated it. The manifest tells you which you're looking at, and both are stated honestly.
