Manufacturers dealing with excess production or canceled orders
About Total Surplus Solutions
For more than 30 years, Total Surplus Solutions has helped businesses of all types recover value from excess, closeout, and surplus inventory.
We are a direct buyer, not a broker. We purchase inventory ourselves and make the process simple and efficient, from evaluation through pickup. Whether you have a few pallets or an entire warehouse to clear, we move quickly, manage the logistics, and turn unwanted inventory into cash without delays.

How We Operate
When you work with us, you’re selling directly to Total Surplus Solutions. There’s no listing process, no shopping your inventory around to other buyers, and no broker commission involved.
Every inventory opportunity is evaluated individually based on the inventory type, quantity, condition, location, and timing. This allows our team to understand the situation, determine the appropriate purchasing approach, and establish clear terms before the transaction begins.
We provide one point of contact throughout the transaction, from initial evaluation through pickup. Our goal is to make every transaction as easy and efficient as possible, with quick communication, clear terms, and a process designed to minimize unnecessary delays. Few companies in this industry can match how quickly we move from first contact to final pickup.
Once a transaction is finalized, our in-house logistics team coordinates pickup and transportation directly, working with warehouses, carriers, and other parties involved, whether your inventory is at a single facility or spread across multiple locations. That means one team handles everything through pickup, rather than you coordinating multiple outside parties.
Payment is handled directly at pickup, with no invoicing delays or waiting on net terms.
Why Three Decades of Experience Still Matters
Inventory challenges are rarely one-size-fits-all. A retailer closing locations, a manufacturer dealing with canceled orders, a distributor reducing inventory, or a business facing a warehouse deadline may each require a different approach.
After more than 30 years in the industry, Total Surplus Solutions has experience handling a wide range of inventory situations, quantities, product categories, and conditions. That experience helps our team evaluate opportunities efficiently, make fair offers, and determine practical ways to move inventory when timing matters.
From retail-ready merchandise to returned, damaged, distressed, obsolete, and salvage inventory, we understand that every opportunity is different.
What We Purchase
We purchase a wide range of excess and surplus inventory, including full truckloads and single pallets, overstock and surplus inventory, closeout and discontinued merchandise, shelf pulls and customer returns, and store or warehouse pack-outs.
Our buying isn’t limited to inventory in good condition. We also buy salvage, including goods affected by damage, returns, or other issues that make them hard to move through normal channels. Categories we regularly purchase include general merchandise, apparel, electronics, home goods, toys, seasonal products, health and beauty items, and furniture.
