I ended up giving most of the food away to my staff. Technically where I live, you cannot donate expired food, but we got it to some homeless people and places would would take it as best as we could!
Where I lived , until about a year ago, the food pantries would absolutely NOT accept expired food, but an Amish store did sell expired food. We bought quite a but and it was always fine.
Why are you doing this? Return pallets has to be the worst reselling avenue to go down. A lot of it is broken and will be returned again. The time spent to test everything turns it into a low paying hourly job.
There is a food coop by my house in San Diego that accepts expired food. They focus on reducing food waste and will even get it to animals or figure out composting to ensure it does not go to waste.
Please don't waste that food. It's safe to eat shelf-stable foods that are months or even a few years past their "best before" date. There are no laws against selling or donating it. It's up to each individual food bank whether they accept it, so please do offer it rather than dumping it.
One of our local wholesalers pallet companies, brings in a whole truck load once a month, they run a pop up grocery store. $1 or 2 each item , Thursday everything $1 , Not much left by Friday afternoon, then it’s 5.00 per banana box. They don’t have much left at the end of the day.
If you interested in this you need a sales tax exemption and business license for most states. For most people this isn’t going to work. It requires a lot of capital beyond the price of the pallet.
I sell expired food online. It is usually good even many month after it has expired. Just disclose the date and give people a good deal. Why waste food that is still good to eat...
In my area there are beginning to be amazon return retailers. The 1st day they get a shipment everything is $10. Every day for the rest of the week it is reduced by $1. The bad thing is, its stuff no one wanted to start with.
Unless you want to throw money away go unmanifested even when it is they aren’t accurate as what your getting. Not to mention some show up with no tops to them so people end up stealing electronics,etc.
That looks like an fc load. Fc typically has all new items and tons of duplicates. Often times from businesses that sold on Amazon and went out of business. On the fc load we brought it several months ago it had a lot of those chip boxes passed the best by date and other food too. Next time I plan on bringing in a Amazon Lpn load. Those loads are all returns. 90% have been new and sellable in my experience. Those are better items that people are looking for and usually higher priced items. Manifested loads are good too if you can get them around 10% retail. A lot of people sell the the top 100 items from them on eBay then dump the rest in bins for customers.
I am an Amazon Live Streamer and never have to ship those products. I am looking to move and get a "shop" to host once a month garage sales to do more Amazon pallets.
All the bubbles items are less than $5 each. Yoga mats garbage, fabric shavers also found in every goodwill in America for $12 even though it’s $4 brand new
I'm not sure about your state but generally it's legal to sell expired food if you let customers know. In PA there are sellers that only do short dated and expired food and do really well. I would've been able to sell just about all of that food no problem. $1 if it's expired. Better than nothing and throwing it away
Gosh, we humans REALLY waste a great deal. Can appreciate items that are returned that don't fit or too large due to manufacture fault. So many overseas and homeless would love to receive those as gifts or a yearly sale for low income, everything for $1.00 - 3.00. Hope you are able to sell; good use for your new warehouse.
I would be cautious of knock offs with Amazon returns. For example they'll often have the cheap Temu/AliExpress kind of knockoff unofficial Pokemon cards made to look like the real ones but are lesser quality, unbranded Plush of popular brands like Pokemon, etc. For example the kind of unofficial air pod holders, unofficial croc charms, unofficial phone cases, etc that eBay will sometimes take down per request of the official brand. Fun stuff to have but you'd need to let the buyer be aware that it's not the official real deal. Also I highly agree with others - donate the food to the homeless or do something useful with it instead of trashing it. :)
2019 I bought my first amazon pallet cost me $450 I made 5K. The local company moved out of SF and i have not bought a pallet since. Hard for me to find sellers because way to many scammers out there.
I have friends that buy Amazon returns and it's a lot of adult stuff, to keep it clean. I don't know why Amazon would accept that kind of return. Lol 🤷♀️
Home Depot returns are the worst trash I've ever seen. I know bin stores that have tried it out and it was almost all broken junk. Amazon and Walmart returns are much better (but still kind of suck).
Chris would you recommend non-manifested pallets for eBay sellers? Like overall do you make money on each pallet or do you go negative on one to profit on another? Obviously the waste is not something you can control

As someone who has worked w homeless ministries I would donate it

I work in the homeless community and you can definitely donate the food provided it’s not several months past Best Buy date.
So disappointing to see all that expired food. There has to be a better system from Amazon for that.
Bin stores sell expired food. It is legal in many/all states. One thing you can not sell expired is baby food.
Simple sell food at an extreme discount when it gets close to expired dates. People will buy and eat fast it if its marked down 90%.
Thank you for the video as I always wondered about those pallets.

Thank you for variety Chris!! ❤❤
I also want to know where you got the divided black shelves on wheels. Thanks and thank you for all the information.

Lindsey Glenn also did the Amazon returned pallet thing and went out of business.
She also was running a Bins store.

Yes, I believe there are food banks that will take it past the expiration date.

Yes I would buy. Thank you
You can absolutely donate that food to food banks. Food has best by dates, not expiration dates. Majority of food banks accept food past best by dates
If you interested in this you need a sales tax exemption and business license for most states. For most people this isn’t going to work. It requires a lot of capital beyond the price of the pallet.
The local pallet wholesale sellers have had horrible experiences with the homedepot pallet, mostly broken stuff

You can donate it to a shelter, church, or food shelter. Let them decide.

hehe squirrel got his peanuts 🥜🌰🐿️✨
I stopped doing those palettes while ago due to more than half I would simply donate to well deriving thrift stores not named Goodwill
Where can we buy these rack that are on wheels
I am an Amazon Live Streamer and never have to ship those products.
I am looking to move and get a "shop" to host once a month garage sales to do more Amazon pallets.

You can donate expired food.
Okay when you say expire how long of the expiration date , a few days ? Months ?
Might be a silly question but how do I find out where to buy Amazon return pallets in my area?

Amazon, Lowe’s, Home Depot & Walmart pallets are not worth the work after 2020
I’m waiting for your live sell on Ebay❤
I have friends that buy Amazon returns and it's a lot of adult stuff, to keep it clean. I don't know why Amazon would accept that kind of return. Lol 🤷♀️
I wouldn't mind trying a manifested one. And then sell on Facebook mkt place.
Home Depot returns are the worst trash I've ever seen. I know bin stores that have tried it out and it was almost all broken junk. Amazon and Walmart returns are much better (but still kind of suck).
Some food banks accepts recently expired foods.
Why did you buy expired food ?
Im curious to understand how Amazons return system works. I just dont see every return making its way to a pallet.
Where can we buy amazon return pallets from?
Chris would you recommend non-manifested pallets for eBay sellers? Like overall do you make money on each pallet or do you go negative on one to profit on another? Obviously the waste is not something you can control
Nvm mind jumped the gun….you explained it later
eBay already has live auction. For the pass 2 years if not more.
Please check with your attorney and/or the homeless etc missions re donating the expired food. So much waste when people go hungry. Thank you.
Most of it goes straight to the dump, and you have to pay!
Hello Chris.
Where can we by these from?
Don’t do it
❤❤❤
It's all junk. Do you think they took all the good stuff before making the pallet?
Target donates expired food all the time and some food bank don't mind it.
Give it to the homeless if it’s still edible
Pallets spelled wrong on title ….i buy pallets too.
holy smoke thats a lot
Trying Amazon pallets does not sound like fun, lol.
Yes, I would buy an Amazon pallet and roll the dice
Put the food free one day and most will go
Looking at lot of trash, I wont buy pallets otherwise I need to build big storage like you and soon I will be bankrupt.
All crap that no one wants
Amazon returns are a waste. Never lost so much $
THAT WAS AWESOME, IF YOU HAVE ADHD YOU WOULD LOVE WHATNOT. I DO AND IM ADDICTED TO IT.
