Have you ever wondered what is in the various Amazon boxes and USPS packages being uploaded in the many delivery vehicles? Perhaps you watched a few videos on TikTok, of consumers unwrapping Amazon mystery boxes filled with expensive clothes, electronics, and other precious stuff. Sometimes the buyer keeps them or sells them on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or eBay.
Amazon ships out 1.6 million packages daily, so don’t be surprised if you learn that not every ordered item reaches the buyer. At times packages get lost on the way. Or re-routed. Or delayed for so long that the buyer has no interest in taking them. As opposed to restocking items or disposing of them in a landfill, retailers resell the items at a big discount. Thus, you can purchase one item or complete pallets of goodies very cheaply.
This blog explains the best places to buy unclaimed Amazon packages or USPS packages.
FACEBOOK MARKETPLACES
On Facebook Marketplaces, you can easily buy unclaimed packages, pallets freight, etc. You can also opt for the option to have the products delivered directly to you. You can avoid disappointment by ensuring to purchase from a reputed vendor. Facebook marketplaces list seller details and customer reviews, so it helps to research items easily.
However, when buying from third parties on Facebook Marketplace, the process can be slightly riskier.
888 LOTS
At 888 Lots, you are at liberty to purchase both individual products and lots. Shipping can cost as little as $1 per item. But if you want to buy many items in one lot, the shipping cost might add up quickly. You can use the special deals section and a negotiation tab to find some of the best offers. This website lists the MSRP and the latest Amazon selling price. It will help you in deciding if it would be profitable to flip the product.
UNCLAIMED MAIL STORES
Additionally, you may have success at stores that offer unclaimed mail for sale. You can key in “unclaimed mail store near me” into Google to find potential options.
In 2021 a TikTok video went viral about a store called Treasure Hunt in Evansville, Indiana. Every week, this retail location offloads one semi-trailer of low-price, on-sale goodies. If you live nearby and can drive there as and when the goods go on sale, do so, because the shelves might be empty until the next shipment.
AMAZON
Purchasing from 3r party vendors on Amazon may also be worthwhile. Many listings sell in the range of $10 and $40 and may offer free shipping. The listing description informs about what product category you will be buying from. Perhaps it may be electronics or jewelry. Ensure to always check the seller’s reputation to avoid being scammed.
Similar offers are shown on other shopping websites like Etsy, Poshmark, and eBay. Go to your favourite marketplace and enter “unclaimed packages.” Many listings are sold at prices ranging from $25 to $100 for around ten items.
