Anyone who regularly purchases wholesale lots often notices that the supply and composition of return and overstock goods varies throughout the year. A well-known pattern is the increase toward the fourth quarter.
More orders, more returns
In the final months of the year, the number of online orders rises significantly due to promotions, discount days, and the holiday season. A higher order volume logically also leads to a higher number of returns, uncollected parcels, and overstock from warehouses looking to make room for new inventory.
What does this mean for you as a buyer?
For business buyers, this can mean that more variety and volume are available during this period. At the same time, the composition of lots can change more quickly, because stock is brought in and moved out at a faster pace.

Plan your own sorting and sales capacity
Higher availability is only valuable if you also have the capacity to process and resell lots. Think in advance about storage space, sorting time, and whether your own sales channel can handle the extra volumes, especially if you yourself are also heading into a busier period toward the holidays.
