Jimmy,

I rec'd my Basic CR Housewares pallet the other day, and like usual it was excellent. I believe from my experience with these items this pallet is really the best I have seen for the money. I bought a premium one before which was ok but this one I will make my money back with two items. I wanted to give you an update. You know I always like what I get from your company. Again, ANYONE looking for and honest company with excellent items should buy from Products Plus. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank Jimmy! I will be ordering another pallet in the next couple days. To people out there that want to know, I do not know Jimmy and have never met him. When I give my opinion on these items I am being honest! I am not an affiliate marketer that gets 23 cents per person for sending you to his company. I will be listing all of my items next week and have many items I bought from Jimmy on my Ebay Store Username Stevedarp or ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** Go there and you can see items you could potentially get . The real deal! Thank you Jimmy

Hi kenn. Im not sure of any Liquidators that do small orders like I did. Im kind of a Unique supplier as I try to work with my buyers. I stopped the International deliveries because I was getting reports from some of our Pack buyers in GB that they we charges as much as $130 USD for Fees. That is almost the cost of the pack itself.

Im sorry I keep forgetting to get that number for you. Ill have my wife get it as she has a better memory then I do. I have so much in my head I think it will explode soon.

Thanks for the compliments on the Pallets. I do my very best to select the best Pallets I can for the price. If you haven't noticed I went a little heavier on the Pots and Pans this time around so you guys will have many more items to list. Vs electronic items. I tend to make more money selling non electrics. Some do sell nice but volume vs single item is much more profitable.

The pallet program is my best achievement with many regular buyers now starting to move into pallets. I just wish the Pack program was Better suited to show my buyers how great these items are. Its hard to show buyers how great this stuff is if they can only get a couple items in this category and that category.

The new program I am currently working on With packs suited for only 1 Category will most likely be a success. I just need to work out Pricing Vs what I am actually paying for the product so I don't loose thousands of dollars like I did the first 3 weeks of March when I started the Profit Packs.

I actually thought about killing the Sample pack program completely Because to be honest the program is a major headache. I get so many orders for the pack program its hard to keep up. And I never have time to myself these days. Then I get 10 million emails a week for anything to everything. I do lucky right now to make $10.00 off of each pack I sell. I went for volume Vs per sale.

With many of the products I put into these packs I personally could be making $15,000 a month in profits If I was selling the same items Full time myself on ebay and Amazon.

I only started that program to show buyers we were a real company that actually delivered a product. And to help people know what to expect with liquidated items.

Most likely when I get a regular stream of pallet buyers I may decide to Drop the Pack program altogether but Im going to try this new program and see how it goes.

I'm learning what my buyers want through experience and trial and error. I am keeping the $99 Sample Packs as they are profitable and I have had a very positive response to buyers with them. But im working to add a new line of single category packs that will have a better.

If your serious about making money you really have to order a pallet to see the full potential you can get with these items.

I will be placing an order tomorrow afternoon for more pallets. I was going to order last tuesday but 2 Buyers asked me to hold off Untill friday so they could put their orders in. It wasnt too bad of a request since neither the Chicago or the St louis Macys had housewares on their lists last week.I cant wait any longer as Im running out of my own stuff to sell and my pack supplies are drastically low. So tomorrow for sure I will place an order in with the OHIO macys.

So Jimmy, honey, darling, does this mean it is too late to get another pallet order in on this next expected shipment? I expect to be completely sold out of everything I got within two weeks and I don't want to have to wait another 3 weeks to get my next pallet so how should I proceed? On the other hand, I'm limited, at this point, on how much inventory I can have just due to space constraints. Well, that isn't really true, I'm just a bit obsessive/compulsive about organization that I start freaking out when I can't have my inventory set up a certain way.
I'm trying to understand how you space out your ordering. How often do you typically get your pallets in? I mean, if I am thinking I want to order 2 pallets a month, one at a time, when is the best time to place those orders? I just need to space out the delivery about every two weeks so I don't go postal when things are all over the place. And I'm worrying that if I wait until I actually want the next pallet that it may be several weeks before I actually get it. Does tht make sense? Not trying to the a PITA, just want to be realistic about things and be neither short of inventory nor waiting longer than I want to get what I need.
Just tell me how I should proceed in terms of my ordering, that will best meet your process and mine.
Back to work. Spent the whole weekend erecting up more shelving so I can physically see everything I have on hand. I'd shoot you a picture, but it still looks pretty scary, lol!
Thanks Jimmy!

Jimmy, I will be ordering another Pallet so hopefully I can get my order in before you do your order tomorrow. Please let me know. Thanks. This pallet I got is doing very well. Thanks

Well I generally order every two weeks or as of lately 10 days after I get my last load. On a Monday or a Tuesday. But I am left at the mercy Of both Macy's and the shipping company when the order is actually put in and scheduled for delivery.

Heres how it works. I call my contacts at all the macys locations for pallets in the categories im interested in. I ask them for manifests. Sometimes I get the manifest within an hour and sometimes I have to wait till the next day.

So the next day im scrambling to inspect the manifest and see if certain pallets would be good to purchase. And then I have to consider the value of the items on the manifest vs my experiences with the average selling prices on ebay.The selection process for me takes about 3-4 hours. Im very picky.


I have a certain price range based on the services I offer. The $600 HW pallets or the $1100 HW pallets. to note these are Lower Priced pallets on the Food Chain there are much bigger fish that macys offers as high as $30,000 a pallet. If I have multiple pallet orders I generally order them in sets of 3 and split them between the 3 buyers. If I see one pallet that might not cut the bill I will add some items from my own personal pallets to boost the overall value. I spend a few thousand per pallet for my own pallet.

After I place the order and if its before 3 PM I have to goto the Bank to make the wire transfer and then I have to wait another 24 hours for the payment to clear before I can even call for an appointment.

Once payment is clear I call Macys for a Scheduled pickup. This can range from the next day to the Next week. So Im left helpless If I have to wait 5 days for a pickup which lately has been a average.

What can make this take even longer is if macys is out of HW pallets like they were last week and I have to wait 4-5 days for them to get more in from the Stores.

Then I call Fedex Freight and have them arrange to meet the scheduall. Sometimes I have to call both places several times to get an appointment worked in.

I generally get the load in 1 working day. Sometimes 2 if the load is farther out.

We pack pallets the same day they are delivered to us and they are generally shipped the next day if there is a fedex pickup that day. We have pickups on Monday- Wednesday and Fridays.

So it may take me only 2 weeks to get a load in but for you thats an additional week for processing and shipping time.

This way your never running out of products.

Generally the buyer that orders right after I put an order in ends up waiting a while for their pallet. Ive already got 1 buyer in line for a Premium Housewares pallet that put their order in 2 weeks ago.

One day I will have a much larger warehouse and wont really have to worry too much about running out of stock. Right now we are in a relatively small warehouse that only holds about 70 Pallets maximum. And most of it is full of sporting goods right now lol.

The only thing I can suggest is that if your going through your products that fast you can put an order in for 2 pallets and arrange with me to ship a pallet one week and hold the second one for 1 week then ship it. And do the same thing on the next ordering cycle. I can and will do this for pallet buyers as long as I have the space available to do this.

hey jimmy,
it's always nice to hear a little bit about the method to your mayhem - it gives your ppw buyers better peace of mind. i think it would be nice if you could implement some kind of auto-update(via email or your site) program that lets your pallet buyers know the optimal time to place an order. i'm pretty sure you're swamped as it is but it might be something good to implement in the near future.

You know thats not a bad idea. I have generally been sending a Update in my newsletters that state im preparing to make an order. But I have forgotten to mention this in the last 2 newsletters. I probably should send more newsletters out.

I received my package about 4 days ago but you guys sent me Baby and Women clothes which I believe it costs $99.99 on ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** and I paid more than $170 for Target clothes, so there was a mistake on my order. So I would like to know what do we do from there?

[K22texan]

Jimmy, love the idea of ordering the two pallets and then just receiving them spaced out by two weeks! That would probably be ideal for me. I'll let you know when I'm ready to go that route. As soon as I get caught up with everything I've got going right now! Got my first item from you up for auction last night. Working slowly on the rest. I created an entirely new template from scratch which I'm pretty pleased with. HTML is murder for the novice though, will seriously give you a massive headache when you are OCD like me, lol!

Hey no problem. PM me your ebay ID and I may be able to help critique your listings and descriptions which may help your sales a little.

[jimmy_salehoo]

Update`` The new Truck has been ordered today. I will make the payment tomorrow and get shipping arrangements made on Friday. So those of your waiting for pallets. I should have it within 5 business days ( I hope).

It was actually pretty easy to order as I didn't have to order Pack pallets since I haven't finished working on that new program yet. No sense in ordering stuff I don't need yet.

Im really wanting to get more store stock for the packs. Most of the pallets avaliable unfortunately have been alot of CR. As the store stock they have avaliable lately are pallets of stuff that I dont want. And probably wont sell good this time of year. CR is great for pallets but not the best for Packs unless you have some decent store stock to add into them.

I did get to order a few pallets for me so that makes me happy. I can finally get back to my hardcore listing runs and make me some money for a change hehe.
