Buying & Payment
Guide
Fast, Transparent, and Streamlined from Start to Finish. Everything you need to move from selection to delivery.
Our Ordering Process
At Closeout Center, we believe that placing an order should be a simple and stress-free experience. That's why we've created a clear, step-by-step process to help you move from product selection to delivery with ease and confidence whether you're shipping to your own warehouse, a prep center, or directly to a marketplace like Amazon or Walmart.
Below is a breakdown of how our order process typically works:
Submit a Purchase Order (PO) Request
Once you've selected the products you'd like to purchase, simply submit a Purchase Order (PO) request through our website or by contacting your dedicated sales representative. Please ensure your PO includes your business name, shipping preferences, and any required tax exemption or reseller documentation if applicable.
Receive Your Invoice
After we receive your PO request, a member of our sales team will promptly prepare and send you a detailed invoice. This will include:
- A full summary of your order
- Product quantities and pricing
- Your company information
- Payment instructions
- Shipping/pickup options
Every invoice is reviewed for accuracy to ensure a smooth fulfillment process.
Make Payment
Once you've reviewed the invoice, submit payment using the available methods outlined (e.g., ACH or wire transfer). We process orders promptly after payment is received.
Product Dimensions & Shipment Coordination
Within 24 to 48 hours of payment confirmation (assuming no lead time is posted), our team will provide you with product dimensions, weights, and packaging details. This information is essential for planning your shipping or prep strategy.
Choose Your Fulfillment Method
Once you receive the product specs, we'll reach out to coordinate how you'd like the inventory handled. You'll have the flexibility to:
- Arrange a third-party pickup (we'll assist in coordinating with your carrier or logistics team)
- Have the order prepped and shipped directly to an Amazon FBA or Walmart Fulfillment Center (WFS)
- Send the inventory to a prep center of your choice through our partner network
- Ship to your warehouse or storage facility
If you're unsure which route is best, our team is always happy to advise based on your business model and goals.
We're committed to clear communication and accountability throughout the entire process. Our goal is to ensure you know exactly what to expect, from order placement to final delivery. No surprises, no unnecessary delays—just reliable service and high-quality products delivered on time.
