This is a wholesale stock parcel of underwear and socks we offered to our buyers. It was held in Sydney.
What was in the parcel?
Over 31,000 units of underwear and socks for the whole family:
- Men's briefs, hipster briefs and trunks
- Women's underwear and socks
- Boys' and girls' underwear and socks
- Basic black socks and everyday styles
Why do suppliers end up with surplus underwear and socks?
Basics are made in big runs to keep unit costs low. A retailer changes supplier, a range is refreshed, or packaging changes, and the old stock is left behind. Because it's a commodity, nobody wants it sitting around turning into dead stock.
What makes it sellable, and what makes it hard?
Underwear and socks are everyday necessities. They don't spoil, they pack tightly, and almost every value retailer stocks them.
The hard part is the breakdown. Buyers want to know sizes, colours and styles before they commit, and a parcel heavy in one size or style is harder to place. Sizing ranges can also differ between markets.
Who typically buys underwear and socks?
| Buyer | Why |
|---|---|
| Discount chains | Value basics for families |
| Wholesalers | Supply to markets and independent stores |
| Charities | New basics like socks and underwear are often requested by people in need |
| Overseas buyers | Volume basics at a good price |
Each has different motivations, so we structure the offer to suit them while keeping the stock away from channels you want to protect. Our clothing and footwear page has more, and our guide on who buys excess stock explains the buyers in detail.
