Condition:
The photos on this page are representative to what you will receive. Books range from acceptable to like new. Some may have worn covers, bent pages, writing, or library markings. Duplicates may be included.
Because every pallet is mixed, we cannot tell you in advance which titles or age ranges are on a particular pallet, and we cannot fill requests for specific books.
All sales are final and everything is sold as is. If something is genuinely wrong with what arrives, contact us within 10 business days of delivery. Keep the material and send photographs or video, and we will make it right.
Shipping:
Wholesale Pallets are shipped via freight.
For orders requiring lift gate service, we recommend limiting your order to 6 pallets or fewer. Orders larger than 6 pallets may require splitting into multiple shipments.
Orders are typically dispatched within 2 business days.

Get a freight quote before you buy
This ships by freight rather than by parcel service. Freight is quoted live against your delivery address at checkout, so the figure you see is the figure you pay. Choose liftgate service unless you have a dock and a forklift or pallet jack.

What to expect when you open it
The bulk of it
Most of it is ready to sell as it stands
The majority of a pallet is in ordinary resale condition, the sort of stock you can put straight out on a table or list without a second thought.
Variance
Allow about 10 percent variance
Across a pallet, roughly 10 percent will be cases without a disc, cracked cases or heavier wear. That is normal at this volume.
The mix
A different mix every time
Pallets are made up as they come, so no two are alike and we cannot tell you in advance what is on a particular one or fill requests for specific titles, artists or genres. Stock ships in the condition it reached us.
Freight
What happens between your order and your loading area
Freight catches out most first-time pallet buyers, so here is the whole sequence before you commit to anything.
-
01
You place your order
Freight is quoted against your delivery address at checkout rather than estimated, so you see the real number before you commit. Choose lift gate service unless you have a dock and a forklift or pallet jack.
-
02
We book your freight
Dispatch times are listed on this page. Larger orders take longer to assemble and route, so get in touch for current lead times before you plan around a date.
-
03
The carrier calls to schedule
They telephone you to agree a delivery window, usually a day or two ahead. Answer that call. If they cannot reach you, storage charges can start to build up.
-
04
You inspect and sign
Check the wrap and the corners before you sign anything. Whatever you write on the delivery receipt is what protects your claim later. Getting the pallet inside is yours to arrange once it is off the truck.
Before you order
The details
The things worth knowing before you buy a pallet, out of your way until you want them.
Freight is priced at checkout
Enter your address at checkout and the freight price appears with your order total. There is nothing to arrange and no quote to request; we book the carrier and they deliver to you. Lift gate service costs more, and you need it unless you have a dock and a forklift or pallet jack to take the pallet off the truck.
How to keep your freight cost down
Freight is the biggest line in a single-pallet order, and it barely moves as you add pallets to the same shipment. Take four at a time and you pay considerably less per pallet delivered. Keep lift gate orders to six pallets or fewer so the shipment stays together, and talk to us about anything larger.
What is on the pallet, and what we can tell you in advance
Pallets are made up as stock comes in, so every one is different. We do not catalogue individual titles, which means we cannot tell you what is on a particular pallet and cannot fill requests for specific titles, artists or genres.
Arranging your own collection
You are welcome to collect. Will-call pickup runs near Burlington, New Jersey and near Menifee, California by arrangement. Get in touch before you order so we can enable it on your account and agree a time.
If your shipment arrives damaged
Note the damage on the delivery receipt before you sign it, and call us on 609-303-3480 while the driver is still with you. A clean signature tells the carrier the shipment arrived in good order, and it makes a freight claim much harder to win afterwards. Photograph anything visible before the truck leaves.
Our claims process, and the 10 day window
Everything is sold as is, so the mix of titles is not something we can take back. If the shipment itself is wrong, short, or damaged, we will put it right. Call us on 609-303-3480 or email info@bulkdiscs.com within 10 business days of delivery.
Hold on to the material while we sort it out. We will ask for photographs or video, and a scan report if the question is about shortages or resale value. Once it has gone we have no way to verify what arrived, which is the one thing that stops us helping.
