The DARK SIDE Of Pallet Flipping - Amazon Returns Unboxing

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks for watching! Here’s a link to our eBay store: www.ebay.com/usr/jamieandsarah here’s a link to our pallet flipping playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL-DxGggo9JMI3tKfAPdlDcKPFuafI2fZc

[@teenasnyder4888]

Your dog tags will pay for your pallets guys. You have 1000 of them in that box. A dollar apiece. You paid $500 for the pallet or a little bit over you’re doing great. Don’t get down on yourself you’re doing great.

[@caitlinhopper743]

I love your alls unboxing videos! We are a family of six and I am a stay at home mom. We started doing some Amazon pallet flipping a few years ago just on a small scale. I have had a really hard time finding families on KZbin though who share content like this. So I’m so glad I came across you all!

I work at Amazon as a picker, but now as a packer. One thing I watch for in shoe boxes is that they are not used shoes in them, not from customer returns but from pickers or others up the line that may have switched them out and trying to literally walk out with new shoes! It is rare this happens, but I still check each shoe box that comes through before packing it for the customer. If I do find one, I will report it immediately to the manager, give the tote number (the number of the box that the items were picked into and packed out of) so we can trace the item back to at least the picker in question.

[@dennispugh7368]

My work requires steel toe boots, my buddy wrecked his so we ran to Walmart on lunch to get him a pair. Pulled nice box off shelf and opened em to try, they were covered in dried mud and paint lmao. Someone just put their old shoes in the box and wore the new ones out the store. People are wild.

[@jodiepotter6029]

The items at 12:27 are to assist with making a bed. They are slid under the top mattress to allow people who can’t lift to tuck sheets in. The white tumblers are probably for sublimation. Don’t know where you are but those would be great! Your videos are fun to watch.

[@jstj443]

I would be careful passing off items that seem to still be in the package as new. My wife and I run a store where we flip pallets and I’ve been burned off of assumptions. The only time I consider something is definitely new is if the original seal has not been broken. You guys keep up the great content.

[@mr.fizzac3957]

I talked to guy today and he sold a grill was all taped nice looked sealed. Well it was used, and place even sold him pallet as new items. Just got be careful. I bought a toy pallet for my first one ever. I’m not sure will make my money back even. 😂

I just like the "Box o Glass" best toy ever. FOR AGES 3 AND UP. You can learn about Reflection and Refraction and First Aid. All the Kids want it!!!

[@OperationLiquidation]

This pallet was definitely either Damaged/defective returns or the seller is processing truckloads and selling the unwanted goods to buyers that don't quite know what they are getting into. Key is to buy from a reputable seller and preferably directly from the retailer. Good luck. Dan

[@redwolfexr]

That is what they were buying - customer returns. If it was a higher grade then they would have paid far more for it. (shelf pulls, overstock, undelivered)

[@OperationLiquidation]

@@redwolfexr Straight un touched customer returns do not typically come with that high of a percentage of damaged goods. This seemed more like a salvage pallet to me.

[@redwolfexr]

@@OperationLiquidation Its possible. From the looks of it the liquidation company is just buying truckloads and reselling them right off the lot. I was thinking up and you were thinking down. :)

[@catherineb8658]

I'm glad you posted this, it's good to see the reality of how these things often end up going. I love watching pallet flipping videos but I think that for us regular folks who don't post videos they're probably not worth the hassle. At least with a youtube channel you can also make money off the content even if the pallet turns out to be a dud. If I ever have the motivation to do the social media and youtube thing I totally would flip a pallet but yikes it just looks like so much work! Not to mention all the effort on the side of donating/disposing of the things you can't sell. Anyway great content as usual, you two are so hardworking and you deserve your success

[@DrifterThrifters]

[@susanzuniga1414]

I really enjoy watching you open pallets. You “move right along” but don’t rush!

[@jonisnyder6011]

You should get a target furniture pallet, and make a series (reels/shorts/tik tok) of opening one item per day and deciding if you should flip it or furnish your house with it. Then you could recap the items on a longer youtube video! 😀

[@vamountainman2512]

That sounds like something someone working for Target would say 🤔😁

[@rogerramjet6429]

@@vamountainman2512 yep.

[@twmcmahan]

I've ventured into flipping pallets 3-4 times. Each time I think "maybe this one won't be a dud" and end up throwing 90% away and the rest is low dollar cheap items not worth selling. Usually broken returned junk. I am not falling for it again :D

[@redwolfexr]

I did okay, it was fairly profitable - but the "dead pile" of stuff that is "worth decent money" but hard to ship/sell/ect gets pretty big. Some stuff takes a year to sell or more. Just too much work back then - they seem to have much better local options to buy the pallets than I did. (local auction, but not able to preview in person and fairly small lots)

[@1978garfield]

A lot of sellers cherry pick the good stuff and sell pallets of crap. It is sad but not illegal. They advertise a pallet of returns from Amazon and that's what you get. They just don't mention they have kept the good stuff.

[@jesbro12]

The tumblers are sublimation tumblers, you heat print them, so should sell quick if you put on crafters sites or ebay

[@normagrimstad8869]

Some people are such scammers, and take advantage of the return policies of companies. Not that I’m defending Amazon. The company makes billions, but returning worn shoes for brand new shoes is disgusting. Honest people pay for this ultimately.

[@peezdoc]

Also, people forget that not everything sold on Amazon is owned by Amazon. So when people return used stuff or like in my experience they sent back rocks, yes rocks for a serpentine belt for their car (I sell car parts) it really hurts a small business. I sell on Amazon and have received all types of different stuff in the returns. And Amazon doesn't fight it they just give the money back to the customer. It could ruin a small business

[@Dikkensyder]

Just shows the dishonest nature of some people. Amazon needs to make a black list and send back their bogus return items in place of their next purchase. 😂😂

[@AndyPerry1972]

I don't get this. I thought Amazon checked stuff and only issued the refund etc once it was all confirmed legit. I mean I know they make billions but how much must they be losing if they are not even bothered to check returns? Even if it was just to send the message back to stop these undesirables from taking the p155! As much as I have had my arguments and disagreements with Amazon, they certainly have one of the best returns policies.

[@peezdoc]

@@AndyPerry1972 in the case that I was saying, Amazon doesn't check returns. Most stuff sold on Amazon is from small businesses. Amazon doesn't literally have everything, it's just sold on their site and when someone returns something it goes back to the small business and if said business tells Amazon the product is used or damaged they don't care and issue the refund which comes out of the small business Amazon account. Even if I fight it they do a "review" which always comes back as "the customer is always right". So not only do we lose out on the product sale but then we lose money on shipping(because to compete in Amazon you need free shipping) and also paying for the shipping for the return which can be quite costly depending what part of the country you're in. I know some people will say "stop selling your product on Amazon if you can't afford to lose out on returns and shipping multiple times a day" then I'd be out of business because Amazon is killing a huge percentage of small business. Can't live with them, can't live without them. It sucks!!!

[@handlebendover]

It's a good strategy

[@angelahaskell7850]

Hey! In case no one mentioned it already....those turquois/blue handheld things are for lifting the mattress so you can put the sheets on easier!

[@shanestorm8805]

So just a warning about amazon: was selling some mugs from a liquidation store, same exact product as something listed. The original seller then proceeded to try and buy a mug from us, and then accused us of selling fraudulent items on amazon, and now we can’t sell those mugs on amazon even though they were literally still in the box with a barcode linking back to the original listing (so not fake). Just be careful of sellers coming after you on some things.

[@anthonyweil4262]

Wow Like who would counterfeit a mug Watch out for Delta products I sell a ton of them on eBay but they always come after me saying the photo I’m using is copyright even though I’ve created it myself and per eBay guidelines and their algorithm will automatically suspend my store for seven days but every time I’m able to prove it’s not counterfeit but that takes about a week to do so so I end up losing a couple $Thousand
