I purchased the Special Offer Ladies…
I purchased the Special Offer Ladies Wear Combo Deal – 5 x 55kg bales plus 1 free bale from their website buyusedclothing by worththeweight company. The price initially seemed reasonable, particularly for someone starting out in wholesale clothing.
I have now opened 5 of the 6 bales. From the stock I received, most of the brands were basic high-street names such as George, F&F, Primark, Papaya, TU and Nutmeg.
After sorting the five bales myself, I estimated around 70% to be Grade B, with noticeable signs of previous wear or minor cosmetic flaws. Around 29% I considered Grade C or unsuitable for resale, including clothing with armpit stains, holes, tears and significant fabric pilling/bobbling. Only around 1% was what I personally considered Grade A or in excellent, near-perfect condition.
I sell clothing through live auctions and unfortunately many of these items struggled to sell even with £1 starting bids, mainly because of the brands and condition. I have also received customer feedback saying that some items appeared heavily used.
I still have one unopened bale as well as a considerable amount of clothing from the other five bales taking up storage space because I don't feel comfortable selling some of it to my customers.
My advice to anyone considering the bale is to be cautious if you're purchasing it expecting predominantly Grade A stock based on the website description. My experience was very different. Be prepared to spend considerable time sorting the clothing and think carefully about how you will resell the Grade B and lower-condition pieces. Personally, I would consider purchasing through their eBay store instead where additional marketplace buyer protections may be available.
Unfortunately, based on the condition of the five bales I opened and my experience trying to resell the stock, I have been unable to recover my investment and I'm giving this purchase 1 star.
I would even be happy for the supplier to collect the remaining clothing, including the unopened bale, without asking for a refund, as I would rather free up the storage space than continue trying to sell stock that isn't suitable for my business.
