Typical process

Toy returns on mixed pallets

Mixed toy returns, some with opened packaging: completeness, season and labelling decide how the lot is described.

A typical process for orientation, not a customer project. Quantities, condition and timing differ from lot to lot.

Starting point

A toy retailer has return pallets after a busy season. The goods are mixed, and the packaging of some items has been opened. Not every game or set is still complete.

A typical lot

  • Mixed toy and board game returns
  • Partly opened packaging
  • Sets and games with possibly missing parts
  • Seasonal goods, for example Christmas ranges

How the process runs

  1. 01

    Enquiry with a rough breakdown

    The retailer describes the share of toys, games and baby products, says how many items are opened or incomplete and adds photos of the pallets.

  2. 02

    Valuation and offer

    A non-binding valuation follows within 24 hours. Price and any sales restrictions are agreed in writing.

  3. 03

    Payment after invoice

    Payment follows by bank transfer within 48 hours of invoicing.

  4. 04

    Collection of the pallets

    The pallets are collected within 3 working days of the agreement, with transport included.

What matters

  • Say how many items are opened or incomplete. Completeness has a direct effect on the price.
  • Age and safety marking remains a matter for the manufacturer or seller. Leave existing labels and instructions with the goods.
  • Seasonal goods sell best ahead of the relevant season, so offer them in good time.
  • Photos of typical opened items, as well as of the pallets, show the real condition of the lot.

Questions about this scenario

  • Yes, return lots often include it. State the share and the condition.

  • The manufacturer or the seller. Please leave existing labels and instructions with the goods.
