Via Trading does not charge a membership fee. We believe prices and information should be available to all prospective customers at no charge. Registering on our website is free and easy, and will give you access to lots of valuable industry information, Buyer Tools access to load manifests and much more. To become a member, simply create an account on our website.
By law in the state of California, we must charge 10.25% sales tax when selling to California residents who do not have a resale license/reseller’s permit. There are no exceptions to this rule.
If you are a CA resident and you do not have a resale permit, you can obtain one quickly, easily and for free from the California State Board of Equalization – for more information on obtaining a reseller permit – visit our California Resale Certificate page.
We also have blank applications available on site to facilitate the process for you. Just fill it out and mail it to the address on the form and you will obtain your permit within a few days. Customers who are NOT residents of California do and who purchase online or via phone, email or fax, do not need to pay sales tax or to fill out any paperwork.
If you come purchase in person and are a resident of California, please bring your resale permit and photo ID with you. If you don’t have a permit, you can still purchase but sales tax will apply.
If you are not a resident of California but are still coming to purchase in person, please bring a copy of your business license. You will need to fill out an “Out of State” form stating that you are taking the goods out of state for resale, and we will need to attach a copy of your out of state business license to that form.
Customers from Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah or Texas who come to purchase & pick-up in person will need to bring in a copy of their state’s resellers permit in order to be exempt from sales tax. They will also need to complete the “Border States Uniform Sale for Resale Certificate” in order to be exempt from sales tax. This form will be provided in our office at the time of purchase.
Please note all goods are sold As-Is and all sales are final.
Via Trading does not offer any guarantees on the merchandise we offer and there are no exchanges or returns possible. Having said that, we are not perfect and unintentional mistakes can occasionally happen. If you ordered case of clothing and we shipped you a case of toys or if you ordered 250 units of cosmetics and received 200 – we will make up for that. If you ordered New Overstock merchandise and received Customer Returns in error – you will be fully compensated. However, if you ordered a load with 3,973 units, and you received 3,965 – then we will probably inform you that occasionally discrepancies do exist in manifests and one should take that in to account when working with such goods. If you ordered a customer return Kitchen Pallet and received some defective units, we will probably inform you that customer return pallets can and do include a percentage of defective units.
If you ever have any issues or concerns with your orders, please do call or email us and we will always strive to resolve your issue quickly and fairly with the aim of making sure our customers are always satisfied in their experience dealing with us.

Please allow 24 hours for shipments to be registered online as it sometimes takes shipping companies some time to update their records. The majority of Courier and LTL orders can be tracked online very easily, however, not all shipments can be tracked. Ocean Container & Full truckload shipments can generally not be tracked online in real time. You will be provided with the carriers contact details & may need to reach out directly to them to get an updated ETA.
We offer a wide variety of products and liquidation programs. Please review the different product conditions we offer and what to expect.
In the long term and looking at several purchases most people in this industry would agree that the payoffs and profits are generally very good and that the long-term risk is fairly minimal. However when looking at any single purchase – YES – there is a definite risk in purchasing customer returns – and all items are sold AS-IS regardless of anyone’s best intentions to advertise each load as accurately as possible.
Yes. We ship internationally on a daily basis and a significant % of our business is from overseas customers. Please visit our international shipping information pages for more details.
As most loads are made up of a mix of different goods It is typical in the industry that the price is set based on the aggregate Retail, Wholesale or Cost value of the load. Different Stores use different values so at times you may notice values being expressed as “wholesale” or “retail”.
For example a load with an aggregate value of $70,000 being sold at 15% of value would cost you $10,500
Our website features a detailed liquidation industry terminology section where we provide definitions to some of the most common industry terms about shipping, product conditions and packing. Visit our Industry Terms section to get started!
We welcome everyone to our facilities to come see the merchandise and speak with a representative in person. You are free to visually select your pallet before you purchase it. Visit our contact page for directions.
Via Trading does not operate a Drop Shipping program per say. However we can dropship and/or blind ship any order of yours. Simply make sure to request that your order is to be Blind Shipped – and it won’t have any reference to Via Trading and we can also use your own company branded Paperwork to accompany the shipment.
