Liqiuidation.com is an easy way to become a millionaire you just need to be,a billionaire first. This company screws you at so many points, starting with a buyers premium, outrages high shipping fees and finally not sending what you really were biding for but cheap made China items. Seriously DO NOT USE THEM! Don’t make the same mistake I made.

Hi,

After my first bid on liquidation.com, I bid on a lot of 200 beautiful skirts that as per description are brand new and unpacked. I used their shipping charges calculator, which basically estimated the shipping charge to be around let’s say $40-50. So I thought perfect. My bid was $130 on the lot, and I was okay with paying $40-50 on shipping. Well, once I won the bid my invoice was waiting for me to pay $281.59. My jaw literally dropped. I looked at the shipping charge and there it was
200 Brand New Ladies Fashion Skirts, 200pcs $130.00 $130.00
Shipping & Logistics $145.41
Buyer’s Premium $6.50
Grand Total $281.91
$145.41 whopping dollars! More than the lot I bid on. I immediatelly contacted them via their online chat, She told me that the shipping charges calculator is just estimation!!! Estimation that is off by freaking $100, almost tripple than what it tells you once you calcuate the shipping charges for the lot! I was blown away, but there was no way out. I had to scramble and somehow pay this invoice that honestly I am not even interested anymore in these skirts…..Still it’s a good deal since I am getting 200 at the price of $1.5 considering the total of the invoice was $281.91. But I don’t think it’s right for them to elude people into thinking that you will pay for shipping $40-50 and then all of a sudden it’s $150. triple!!! This was my first and my last purchase on liquidation.com, until they fix their shipping calculator. I work in logistics dept as an import coordinator so I know how this works and this is totally off, you feel like you got ripped off. If I provided to my customers shipping quotes like this, we wouldn’t have logistics dept anymore….

Buying something without seeing it is a big risk. Especially when you buy things that you can not return, then you have an idea how risky it is. That is how you buy from Liquidation.com. Even you follow a good guidance, buying new items only, there is still much more than 50% chance you end up with unprofitable merchandise.

Let’s say that Liquidation.com is not a scam company, but you hardly know the sellers and the merchandise that you are buying from them. I discovered that most of the new items sold here are cheaply China made, and a lot of times they are overbid. In my experience, you should not buy from a long time sellers that always sell new items on this site. Reasons: In order to make money with a huge fee they have to pay for Liquidation.com, more than 90% of their items are very cheap made in China, and these items are very hard to be resale for profit. Do you get a picture?

Conclusion: Do not buy from Liquidation.com

Just don’t use Liquidation.com . Buyer premium rate and quantity variant fee are hurting your transactions, add in the tax and the shipping. If you are buying somewhere to try and make profit. Please, do not use liquidation.com. It is a legitimate company, you are also almost safe in using paypal , your items will almost be shipped to your door. But!!!! everyone is paying a lot for items. The items which u can get your hands on will usually be those of shelve surplussed item (those items which customers won’t buy in the shopping center)

I used this site, and bought 2 big transactions over 3 days monitoring at 12 hours a day.

You will be yelling at the other people who bid on items, and or regretting yourself knowing who would pay so much for those heavily used item at 80% of the price of the brand new products.

Last word “You will not be making money off of these people”

As of where to buy your wholesale at and make profit from ? I am still looking for one

I have bought several big lots from liquidation.com that have made me pretty good money, the real “secret” is to avoid so called hot items like electronics, computers, iPads, iPhones etc.. Because everybody is bidding on them and they jack up the prices so you have no chance to make profit. They key is to bid in categories that are not oversaturated and do your market research before you buy.

WOW!!! That was great information about liquidation online stores. Thanks for the info, this will save me a lot of headaches when purchasing anything from these sites. I will probably use some of these items as promotions for my future online store. Thanks

I dont suggest buying from them at all. Why?

1. you can’t cancel bid. they sneak in a 15% or $200 charge per item if you dont pay OR they dont send it and have no choice but to cancel after set time (riiight)

2. They really screw you on shipping. Like big time.

You can’t reason with them as that $200 is what they are after. Yuo will hav eno recourse but to file a dispute with cc company.

Btw if you register to bid notice how they say provide us with a cc for “verification” purposes. My ass what they do is charge you $200 time x if you come to your senses and see the taxes (which they only tell you by email after you bid!) btw and shipping.

You remove card from their system but guess what they still retain the info. They charge and again no recourse but a chargeback.
