Stock Sitting at a US 3PL or Prep Center
Storage bills arrive every month whether the inventory moves or not. When a SKU stops selling, that bill is the clearest signal you have.

No obligation. We buy outright, arrange collection, and pay in USD.
Inventory held at a third-party logistics provider or prep center is often the easiest situation to resolve, because there is no platform in the middle and no removal order to create. You authorize release, we schedule with the provider directly, and the goods move once.
When storage exceeds what a SKU will earn
Work out the monthly storage cost for the SKU, your realistic sell-through at current velocity rather than the velocity you hoped for, and how many months clearing it would take. If total storage over that period approaches what the units will net, the inventory is costing you money to keep selling. A surprising amount of held stock is already past that line before anyone runs the numbers.
How the release actually works
- You give your provider written authorization to release the goods to us
- We contact them directly, in English, and agree a collection window
- We handle the paperwork, the carrier booking, and the freight cost
- You are paid on collection, in USD, to your own account
You do not need to be in the middle
This matters more than it sounds. Sellers operating across time zones often spend weeks mediating between a warehouse and a buyer. Once release is authorized you can step out of the correspondence entirely. We deal with the provider, and you hear from us when the goods are collected and the payment is sent.
Multiple providers, one transaction
If your inventory is split across two or three providers, or across a prep center and a forwarder, we consolidate it into a single deal with one price and one payment. That is usually better for you than negotiating separately at each site, because the stronger inventory carries the weaker.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to move the goods before you collect?
No. We collect from where they sit. Consolidating or repacking first is wasted labor and cost on your side.
What if my provider will not release without payment of outstanding storage?
Common, and usually solvable. Tell us the position early. Depending on the amounts involved there are ways to structure the transaction around it, but it needs to be on the table before we agree terms.
Can you deal with the 3PL directly?
Yes, and that is the point. Once you authorize release we handle scheduling, documentation, and freight with them so you are not mediating across time zones.
Will you buy from several providers at once?
Yes. Multi-site inventory is consolidated into one transaction with a single price and payment, which normally prices better than clearing each location separately.
