The simple answer is anyone with an eye for a bargain. We all know the size of Walmart and we all have our thoughts on the range of products that can be purchased from the stores and the prices that they charge on their retail sales. We also know that they operate a relatively generous returns policy.
Isn’t It Only Defective Or Damaged Goods That Get Returned?
True, a common reason for Walmart Returns In NC (or anywhere else for that matter) is that the buyer subsequently discovered something wrong with the goods that they purchased. However, this is not the only reason and, even when it is, the fault may only be something very minor that could be easily fixed or even ignored. For example, an electrical appliance with a small scratch on its casing might not look as attractive as it should but, it will still be fully functional for its intended purpose. Other goods might even have been returned because their buyers changed their minds and never used them.
What Happens To All These Returns?
In most cases, it would not make good business sense for Walmart to simply put them back on the shelf and try to sell them to someone else. It is more likely that they will be gathered up with a minimum of sorting and then offered for sale as a total lot at attractive prices. Slow moving or discontinued store items may also be disposed of in like manner. Non-perishable items like appliances, electronics, DVD’s or CD’s are the most suited to this form of disposal but packaged items like toiletries can also be included.
Since it is not in Walmart’s best interest to sell the returns individually to the public, the bulk buyers are likely to be wholesalers who, in turn, will sell the items on to people who run discount, surplus or “Dollar” type stores. These retail stores then break down the bulk (usually a minimum of a whole stacked pallet but, sometimes, by the truck load) and sell off the individual items on an “as is” basis with a no returns policy. They have opportunity to make a profit from this and the buying public has a good chance of finding some good bargains in such stores. Obviously, under such a system, there is little or no continuity of supply and available items will change on a most regular basis.
