What is a bin store?

Bin stores buy pallets of returned goods, overstock, and shelf pulls from large retailers, then sell the items from bins in a warehouse style shop. Each item in a bin usually has one flat price for that day, and the price often falls as the week goes on. New goods arrive on restock days, so the stock in the bins changes from week to week. This site does not list prices or restock days, because they change often. Use the link on each listing to see the store's own page.

How the weekly price drop works

Most bin stores run on a weekly cycle. On restock day the bins are refilled and every item carries the week's highest flat price. Day by day the price steps down, so the end of the week is the cheapest time to buy and also the most picked over. Early in the week there is more choice at a higher price; late in the week there is less choice at the lowest price. Neither end is better for everyone, they are different kinds of hunt. The guide to how bin stores work explains the cycle, where the goods come from, and why so many of these shops are called Amazon bin stores.

Questions people ask about bin stores

Where do bin stores get all their stuff?

From big retailers, in bulk. Returns, overstock, and shelf pulls are sold off by the pallet or truckload through liquidation channels, because a large chain loses money checking and restocking returned items one at a time. Bin stores buy those mixed loads and sell the contents from bins.

What is an Amazon bin store?

Amazon handles a very large share of retail returns, so much of the stock moving through liquidation channels started there. Stores that advertise as Amazon bin stores are independent local shops describing where their stock came from. They are not run by Amazon.

Are the goods new?

Some are, some are not. A load can hold unopened items next to opened, incomplete, or broken ones, and most stores do not test what they sell. Goods are usually sold as they are, and many sales are final. The low prices exist because the store has not checked or guaranteed the goods.

Why does this site not list prices or hours?

Because they change too often to print honestly. A price printed here could be wrong by the weekend. Each listing links to the store's own public page, which is where its current hours, restock day, and prices live.
