Can I buy pallets of returned Lowe's or Home Depot appliances?
Registix operates recovery programs for the top national home improvement retailers, including Home Depot and Lowe's. Depending on the program, inventory moves as palletized mixed general merchandise (where small appliances often ride along with tools, flooring, lighting, OPE, and hardware) or as floor-loaded truckloads of major appliances only. Buyers work directly with the Registix team, not the retailers themselves.
What Home Depot inventory does Registix move?
Home Depot inventory moves through Registix mostly as palletized general merchandise. Appliances often ride on those pallets.
Home Depot recovery flows through Registix primarily as palletized mixed merchandise. Pallets can carry a wide mix including flooring, lighting, hardware, tools, and small appliances, and larger appliances land on those pallets when the return stream includes them. It is not a dedicated large-appliance-only program at Home Depot. Buyers looking for appliance inventory out of Home Depot access it through the palletized general merchandise programs.
What Lowe's inventory does Registix move?
Registix runs two distinct Lowe's programs: dedicated major appliance programs (floor-loaded, no pallets, large appliances only) and mixed general merchandise programs on pallets and in gaylords.
The Lowe's major appliance program moves large appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, ranges, dishwashers) as floor-loaded truckloads. No pallets, large appliances only. The Lowe's mixed general merchandise program is separate. That program covers flooring, lighting, outdoor power equipment, hardware, tools, small appliances, and more, packed on pallets and in gaylords. Buyers can access one program or both, depending on the categories they resell.
What is the difference between palletized programs and floor-loaded major appliance programs?
Palletized programs move mixed general merchandise on pallets or in gaylords. Floor-loaded programs move large appliances as full truckloads with no pallets underneath.
Large appliances such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, and ranges are too heavy and too tall to palletize efficiently. They move floor-loaded, meaning each unit is loaded directly onto the truck deck, secured for transit, and delivered as a full truckload of major appliances only. Palletized programs work the opposite way: mixed inventory from multiple categories is stacked and shrink-wrapped on pallets or dropped into gaylords, so buyers get diversified merchandise in a compact footprint. Buyers pick the format that matches their resale channel and freight capacity.
How do buyers get access to Home Depot and Lowe's programs?
Qualified B2B buyers can register with Registix at [email protected] or 919-710-8697.
The Registix team evaluates freight capacity, resale channel fit, and volume before onboarding new buyers into active programs. Once approved, buyers get direct visibility into the palletized mixed merchandise programs, the dedicated major appliance programs, or both, depending on the categories they resell and the volume they can absorb.
How this works at scale
Registix is the recovery partner behind both palletized mixed merchandise programs and dedicated major appliance programs for top national home improvement retailers. Our vertically integrated freight brokerage is what lets both program types run at scale on 48-hour SLAs.
