Restock Day: Event-Based. New inventory is added following major warehouse or corporate contract clearances.

Pickup Window: Strict 3-business-day window to collect items after auction close; items are forfeited after 7 days.

Payment Rules: All purchases over $250 must be paid via wire transfer or direct deposit.

Buyer’s Premium: A standard 15% fee is added to all winning auction lots.

Industrial Specialists: ARA is the go-to for flippers looking for "heavy" items like industrial ovens, machinery, power tools, and even vehicles—not just small retail boxes.

Trust Factor: ARA holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. In the often-unregulated liquidation world, this signal is worth its weight in gold for the professional buyer realm.

Consulting Services: ARA offers one-on-one training for new flippers looking to build their own eBay or Amazon stores. This makes them a valuable "resource", not just a wholesaler.

Restock Day: Daily. New loads from major retail contracts are processed and listed nightly.

Pricing Transparency: They provide a proprietary tool showing the sales history for every pallet so you can bid with confidence.

Payment Options: Accepts Credit Cards, Bank Wires, and even Lines of Credit for high-volume buyers.

Vetting Note: Requires a Reseller Certificate (Tax ID) to register and bid on their direct-contract retailer pallets.

Loading Logistics: Direct Liquidation pallets are often massive. Their Renaissance Dr location has loading docks, but if the user is a small flipper, they must ensure their vehicle can handle a full gaylord box (typically 3ft to 6ft tall).

Manifest Analysis: Suggest users click the "Download Manifest" link on the Direct Liquidation site before visiting the warehouse. This allows them to run sample SKUs through an eBay fee calculator to estimate their net profit before they bid.

The "Assurance" Tip: Some categories (like refurbished electronics) may come with limited warranties, which is rare in the "as-is" liquidation world and a huge trust factor for buyers.

Restock Day: Daily. New auction listings are posted 24/7, with hundreds of lots typically closing nightly at staggered times.

Bidding Format: All inventory is sold via online auction; no in-person bidding is available on-site.

Pickup Rules: You have a strict 7-day window to schedule and complete a pickup after an auction win. Missing your appointment can result in a $200 no-show fee or forfeiture of the lot.

Vetting Note: Backed by Liquidity Services (NASDAQ: LQDT), ensuring 20+ years of institutional transparency and secure payment processing.

Manifest Analysis/SKU Hack: Nearly every auction comes with a detailed manifest (inventory list). Run SKUs through an eBay fee calculator before bidding to confirm that the "Estimated Retail Value" listed matches the actual current street price.

Pickup Arbitrage: Contact the Alexander Road facility for local flippers, picking up items in person is the ultimate "cheat code" to avoid freight shipping fees ($200+ per pallet) that often wipe out the profit margins for out-of-state buyers.

Loading Logistics: Pickups at this facility typically require a dock-height vehicle (box truck or trailer) for larger lots. If they arrive in a personal vehicle for a large pallet, they may be required to break it down and load it themselves under strict warehouse time limits.

Key Specializations: * Retail Manifests: Direct access to returns and overstock from major "Big Box" retailers.

Variety of Lots: Inventory ranges from single "high-value" pallets to full 53-foot truckload contracts. Clothing, Home Appliances, Electronics, General Merchandise, Tool/Hardware, etc.

B2B Resources: On-site freight assistance and educational resources for new liquidation entrepreneurs.
