ReturnsWhat a Canadian liquidation truckload is
A liquidation truckload is a full trailer of merchandise a retailer has taken out of its supply chain — customer returns, overstock that did not sell, and salvage-grade goods. It sells by the trailer rather than by the item, which is what pushes the cost per unit so far below wholesale.
The loads above ship domestically within Canada. You are buying Canadian-held stock, not clearing an American trailer through the border and hoping the paperwork holds up.
What we currently hold in Canada
Our Canadian position is concentrated in Amazon returns and overstock, with Costway home and garden alongside it. Most of it is medium-item stock at 22 to 26 pallets per load, plus one smalls programme.
- Amazon mediums — general merchandise returns out of the Canadian returns network.
- Amazon blue wrap — pallets shrink-wrapped in blue film at the returns centre, which signals a sorted and consolidated pallet rather than a raw mixed one. It carries a premium because it arrives cleaner and sorts faster.
- Amazon FC mediums — new stock pulled from a fulfilment centre rather than out of returns.
- Amazon HPC smalls — health and personal care, the highest-value programme we run in Canada.
- Costway — home, garden and leisure returns at 26 pallets.
Stock moves, so treat the grid above as the live list rather than this paragraph.
Why buying inside Canada beats importing from the US
American loads often show a lower sticker price, and Canadian buyers reasonably ask why they should pay more. The answer is landed cost.
Bringing a trailer across the border means a customs entry, a broker’s fee, duty where the goods attract it, GST or HST accounted for at import, and a carrier willing to run the lane. It also means a load that can sit while paperwork is sorted out. Mixed liquidation freight is harder to classify than a single-SKU shipment, which is exactly the kind of consignment that attracts questions at the border.
A domestic Canadian load skips all of it. No customs entry, no broker, no duty on the purchase, and GST or HST handled as it would be on any ordinary domestic sale. For most buyers that closes the gap on the headline price and then some — but run the numbers on your own lane rather than taking it on faith, and talk to a customs broker before you assume an American load is cheaper.

Who buys Canadian liquidation loads
Bin store operators restocking weekly, auction houses, marketplace sellers on eBay, Amazon and Facebook, live sellers on Whatnot, discount and clearance retailers, and flea market vendors. Larger buyers break loads down and resell by the pallet to smaller operators in their region.
The HPC smalls programme suits a different buyer than the mediums — high unit counts, small items, and the beauty and personal care categories that move fastest in a bin store or a live show.
Before you buy your first load
- Sort your unloading first. A full trailer needs a forklift or a crew. Confirm it before the truck is booked, not after.
- Know your storage. Twenty-plus pallets is more space than most people picture.
- Read the grade. New, returns and blue wrap are genuinely different products at genuinely different prices.
- Budget the labour. Returns loads need sorting, testing and listing. For most first-time buyers that time is the real cost.
If this is your first load, our beginner’s guide to buying liquidation truckloads walks through the process, and how to read a manifest will help you judge whether a load is worth its asking price. It is also worth reading why freight prices are where they are in 2026, since haulage is a real part of your landed cost rather than a rounding error.
