The Process Behind Every Order
From Payment to Delivery — Here’s Exactly What Happens
Payment confirmed
Once payment is received, your dedicated sales rep will personally confirm your order and provide a full breakdown of your purchase — lot details, lead time, and next steps, all in one message.
Order in Fulfillment
Your order enters our fulfillment queue based on the lead time listed on the product or confirmed by your rep. You’ll always know your timeline upfront — no guessing, no chasing updates.
Verification & Dimensions
Before anything ships, our team conducts a full inspection product condition, expiration dates, UPC codes, and manufacturer packaging all verified. Your rep then sends you photos, videos, pallet dimensions, product dimensions, and confirmed pickup location so you know exactly what you’re receiving.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you ship directly to FBA, my prep center, my warehouse, or a residential location?
+
Yes, we ship to any location within the U.S., including your address, Amazon fulfillment centers, or any third-party warehouse you use.
Can Closeout Center provide a shipping quote to my prep center, warehouse, or residential location?
+
Yes, we can provide you with shipping quotes and often secure some of the most competitive rates available.
What happens if a shipment is missing units, contains defective items, or the wrong products are shipped?
+
If a shipment is missing any units, contains defective items, or if the wrong products are delivered, you will receive a full refund for the products, shipping charges, and any applicable removal fees.
Are pricing and minimum order quantities negotiable?
+
We're flexible on pricing, but our minimum order quantities are non-negotiable.
Are all the products sold on Closeout Center brand new, unexpired, and retail-ready?
+
Yes, all of our products are retail-ready and guaranteed to be in perfect condition. We take product inspection very seriously and are known for our rigorous quality control. In fact, our expertise is trusted industry-wide—we even offer product authentication services for other vendors.
Where are the goods located?
+
Each deal is stored at a different third-party warehouse across the country. In many cases, the inventory is first transferred to our warehouse before being shipped to your destination.
What if the item stops selling well, the price drops, or I get banned from selling it?
+
Closeout Center is not responsible for any issues that may arise while reselling items on Amazon or other marketplaces. This includes, but is not limited to, IP claims or accusations of counterfeit products. However, if there is verified proof of inauthenticity, you will receive a full refund.
What payment methods do you accept?
+
We accept payments via wire transfer or ACH. You can also use a third-party processor, such as Melio, to pay by credit card.
Can I cancel an order or return items?
+
Once a deposit is received for an order, it becomes non-refundable unless the products are damaged, have the incorrect UPC, or feature an incorrect expiration date. The same policy applies to returns—items are not eligible for return unless there is a product issue that was not disclosed beforehand.
How long does it take from placing an order to receiving the goods?
+
Order timelines depend on the product's lead time. For example, if a product has a 2-3 day lead time, it will be ready for pickup within that timeframe. If you're having the order shipped to Amazon or another marketplace, please allow an additional 48 hours after the lead time for processing and shipment.

Are you authorized distributors?
+
We are not authorized distributors. Instead, we source our products through a variety of trusted channels, including retail store closeouts, liquidation auctions, and partnerships with major wholesalers. This allows us to offer brand-name products at deeply discounted prices while ensuring quality and authenticity through our rigorous inspection and verification processes.
Is your invoice accepted by Amazon?
+
No, our invoices are not accepted by Amazon for brand-gating or ungating purposes. Since we are not authorized distributors, our documentation does not meet Amazon's specific requirements for certain restricted brands or categories. However, our products are still suitable for resale on the platform, and many of our clients successfully sell them on Amazon and other marketplaces.
Where are you located?
+
We have partnered with multiple trusted logistics companies across the United States, including locations in Florida, California, New Jersey, and Illinois. These partners handle the storage, processing, and shipping of our products, ensuring efficient order fulfillment and timely deliveries. By leveraging a nationwide logistics network, we're able to provide faster turnaround times and greater flexibility for our customers.
Can I visit the warehouse?
+
At this time, warehouse visits are not permitted due to liability and safety regulations. However, we're excited to share that we are currently developing dedicated showrooms in both California and Las Vegas. These locations will allow customers to view select inventory in person by appointment. We will announce once the showrooms are ready and scheduling becomes available. Stay tuned for updates!
