Oversized Furniture Pallets: Sofas, Beds & Dining Sets
Furniture liquidation operates differently from general merchandise due to oversized freight. A 53-foot trailer holds 20-24 oversized furniture pallets, each 300-800 lbs containing 2-6 items. Abbyson loads from Costco returns feature leather sofas, sectionals, and recliners — among the most sought-after furniture liquidation inventory. Amazon furniture returns are the largest volume source — flat-pack items from Zinus (mattresses, bed frames), Christopher Knight Home (accent chairs, ottomans), and Walker Edison (TV stands, desks). Flat-pack return pallets carry mixed conditions; 20-30% may have missing hardware or damaged components, so repair capability improves yield. White-glove delivery rejects are fully assembled pieces refused at delivery for minor cosmetic issues. Scratch-and-dent furniture from warehouse damage carries cosmetic flaws that rarely impact function. Discount store owners, bin store operators, flea market vendors, and Facebook Marketplace resellers source furniture liquidation. Physical showrooms where customers inspect pieces before buying reduce the return issues that affect online-only sellers. Furniture truckloads ship FOB from retailer DCs and require dock-high delivery or forklift.
