What is Liquidated Stock?
When a business or firm is terminated or bankrupt, its assets are sold and the proceeds pay creditors.
Basically 100s of electronic company's / suppliers up and down the country are terminated or go bankrupt every day. Their stock is then sold off in order to pay creditors. We step in and buy pallets and pallets of this stock at very low prices.
We have also now established deals with large UK distributors who sell off last year’s stock or excess stock for companies.
When the new TV models / appliances are released for that particular year - the big retailers want to sell off the previous year’s stock as quickly as possible. That’s where we step in.
Quailty Checks for each TV / Product.
Every Product supplied to us goes through the same quality check
1) Serial plate / numbers are checked to ensure the warranty is valid or a retailer warranty will be provided - Due to being liquidated stock - some manufacturers serial plates may not be present.
2) TVs - Service menu is accessed in each product in order to validate the viewing hours on each TV / screen - basically this will show if the product has been powered on and screen time used.
3) Any Product that does not conform to the above is rejected and sold off to local traders.
4) We will only sell a Product that conforms to the above - The margins are so tight on each item that it does not make any business sense for us to send a product out that might be rejected by the customer.
** Please Note - upon delivery the courier will unpack and switch on the TV for you to check. This will ensure you are 100% happy with the TV before you sign to accept the goods **
