Categories, conditions, and volumes we buy.

A complete picture of what we'll quote against. If your stock fits any of the categories below, send us the spec and we'll come back with a firm offer within one business day.

Categories

Branded, shelf-stable, factory-sealed.

The unifying thread across everything we buy: branded product (not unmarked or own-label-only), shelf-stable (ambient, no chilled or frozen-chain), factory-sealed in original primary packaging, and fit for human consumption.

Confectionery

Chocolate (bars, tablets, boxed), sugar confectionery (gummies, jellies, hard candy), gum, lozenges, mints, seasonal lines (Easter eggs, Christmas calendars, novelty).

Typical volumes: 1–100 pallets. Most active category.

Snacks & biscuits

Crisps, popcorn, savoury baked snacks, biscuits, cookies, wafers, nuts (roasted, salted, raw), trail mix, dried fruit.

Typical volumes: 1–60 pallets.

Beverages

Soft drinks, juices, energy drinks, sports drinks, flavoured water, mixers, premium soft drinks. PET, can, and glass. Non-alcoholic and low-alcohol (under 18% ABV).

Typical volumes: 1–80 pallets. Weight considerations on long-distance routes.

Ambient grocery

Cereals, breakfast bars, granola, spreads (chocolate, nut, fruit), pasta, rice, sauces, condiments, jars, instant meals, soup, tea, coffee.

Typical volumes: 1–50 pallets.

Pet food

Dry pet food (kibble, biscuits), wet pet food (cans, pouches, trays), treats, supplements. Mass-market and premium brands.

Typical volumes: 5–100 pallets.

Health & sports nutrition

Protein bars, protein powders, electrolyte powders, pre-workout, gels, ready-to-drink (RTD), vitamins and supplements.

Typical volumes: 1–40 pallets. Niche but strong demand.

Conditions

Stock situations we handle every week.

By stock situation

  • Close-to-best-before product (any BBD window, we quote against the date)
  • Discontinued SKUs from active manufacturers
  • Surplus production runs and over-orders
  • Rebranding withdrawals and packaging refreshes
  • Cross-market production (intended for a different region)
  • Customer cancellations and returns to vendor
  • Slow-moving inventory clearing warehouse space

By packaging condition

  • Intact primary packaging (the consumer-facing pack)
  • Damaged secondary packaging (outer cardboard) with intact primary
  • Mixed pallets, we'll sort and price by SKU
  • Re-palletisation possible if your pallets are non-standard

BBD windows

How long does the product need on the clock?

Our preference is at least 30 days of best-before life remaining at collection, but the right answer is category-dependent. The shorter the window, the lower our offer, but we will still quote.

30+ days remaining

Comfortable for confectionery, snacks, ambient grocery, and pet food. Standard pricing applies. Most of our volume sits in this window.

15–30 days remaining

Workable for fast-moving categories (confectionery seasonal, beverages, snacks). Discounted pricing reflects the urgency. Speed of decision matters, we move within days.

Under 15 days

Selective. Only for the right categories with active retail demand. Food-rescue channels often the destination. Tell us what you have anyway.

Expired or near-expiry

We do not buy product that is already past its best-before date for consumer resale. For animal feed conversion or non-food redistribution, ask separately.

What we don't buy

Quick filter, if you see your stock here, skip the enquiry.

If you're not sure whether your stock fits, ask anyway, we'd rather say no quickly than miss something workable.
