About Us - Bulk STOCS

Bulk STOCS is the B2B trade platform of Inventory Recycling UK Ltd, a UK-registered business that sells surplus stock on behalf of major retailers, brands, and online marketplaces.

We sell to the trade only: independent retailers, market traders, online resellers, exporters, refurbishers, and anyone whose business depends on sourcing the right stock at the right price.

How Bulk STOCS started

The STOCS brand was founded in 2021 to tackle a specific problem: the volume of unsold retail inventory — returns, overstocks, end-of-line — that loses value or ends up in landfill because retailers don't have the infrastructure to recover it efficiently.

Now owned by Inventory Recycling UK Ltd, the wider STOCS business works with retailers and brands across the UK and Europe to grade, route, and sell that inventory through the channel that recovers the most. Bulk STOCS is the B2B trade side of that operation — where the volume goes.

Where the stock comes from

Most of what we list is brand-new overstock, end-of-line, and short-coded inventory from large UK and international retailers, alongside channel surplus direct from brand owners. We also list customer returns and refurbished product, graded and manifested to the same standard.

Every lot comes from direct retailer and brand relationships — not anonymous middle men.

How we grade returned and refurbished goods

Every item is condition-graded before it goes on the site:

New: Returned item not opened or tested. Assumed unused and contains no user data.
New / Open Box: Appears unused with no visible cosmetic marks. Item may have been opened or handled. Fully functional.
Refurbished — Excellent: Fully functional with no visible cosmetic marks at arm's length.
Refurbished — Good: Fully functional with light cosmetic wear (minor scratches or marks).
Refurbished — Fair: Fully functional with visible cosmetic wear (scratches, scuffs or moderate marks).
Faulty: Item does not function correctly or fails testing. Must be data safe before resale.

We grade conservatively. Mixed pallets show the split item by item on the manifest. What you see on the listing is what arrives on the truck.

Manifests and pricing

Every listing comes with a full item-level manifest: product, condition grade, original retail value, and unit cost. Prices are shown VAT-excluded. There are no hidden auction fees and no "request a quote" gates — the price is the price.

How to buy

You can buy a single pallet or a full container. New lots are added every week and sold first-come-first-served, so registered buyers see fresh listings before they're gone.

Larger or recurring requirements — multi-pallet by category, repeat containers, bespoke specifications — go through our trade desk. If you tell us what you need and what you sell, we'll match supply against your category rather than asking you to chase listings.

Why we built it this way

The wholesale liquidation market has historically traded on opacity: inflated grades, missing manifests and pallets that don't match the description. We built Bulk STOCS because the buyers we work with wanted the opposite — graded honestly, manifested in full, priced openly, and shipped from a UK business they can pick up the phone to.

That is what the platform is for. Everything else follows from it.
