Unclaimed Freight & Warehouse Lien Inventory Buyer

When a customer stops paying storage fees and inventory goes unclaimed, a warehouse operator has the right to recover costs through sale. We buy that inventory in the categories we specialize in: fragrance, skincare, cosmetics and apparel.

What we buy

Good fit

  • Inventory subject to a warehouseman's lien for unpaid storage
  • Unclaimed freight after a customer account goes inactive
  • Abandoned pallets identified during a warehouse audit
  • Fragrance, skincare, cosmetics and apparel specifically (our core categories)
  • One-time situations as well as recurring accounts-receivable clean-up
  • Full manifests or partial/unknown-content lots

Why sellers work with us

We specialize in exactly these categories

Fragrance, skincare, cosmetics and apparel are our core buying categories, not a general liquidation afterthought.

We move quickly

Recovering value from a lien situation usually has a clock on it. We turn around real offers fast.

We understand the paperwork

Lien sales have their own documentation requirements. We work within whatever process your legal and credit teams require.

Ongoing relationship, not just one lot

If unpaid-storage situations come up more than once, we're glad to be a standing resource for your credit and collections team.

How it works

01

Send what you know

Even a partial manifest or rough description of the abandoned lot is enough to start.

02

We assess and make an offer

Real number, usually within one business day, based on category, condition and quantity.

03

We coordinate pickup

Freight arranged and paid for by us, directly from your facility.

04

Your space and your books are clear

Inventory is gone, and the storage account is fully resolved.

Common questions

Yes, we work within whatever process your legal, credit or collections team needs.

That's normal in these situations. Send whatever you know and we'll work from there.

No. Some of our best relationships with 3PLs and warehouses are ongoing, as unpaid-storage situations come up periodically.

Fragrance, skincare, cosmetics and apparel specifically, since that's where our secondary market network is strongest.
