About Surplus Depot
Your go-to supplier for surplus, closeout, and liquidation inventory with transparent pricing.
What We Do
Surplus Depot is Chicagoland's go-to liquidation wholesaler for the professional reseller community. Marketplace sellers, eBay resellers, Amazon FBA sellers, auctioneers, flea market vendors, independent store owners, and weekend flippers all buy from us. We believe in straightforward business: fair pricing, transparent grading, and fast local pickup or shipping. No games, no hidden fees—just real wholesale value.
We source returns, overstock, shelf pulls, and closeouts from major big-box retailers and distributors, then make them available by the pallet or truckload at true wholesale prices. Our customers are the reselling backbone of Chicagoland—people who know their market and move inventory fast.
Every week we receive fresh loads from major chains across multiple categories. We inspect, grade, and lot merchandise so you can make informed buying decisions. Whether you're looking for general merchandise, appliances, tools, home goods, or seasonal items, we keep a steady flow of quality liquidation inventory.
Based in Aurora, IL, we serve the entire Chicago metro area and beyond. We maintain an open warehouse policy where buyers can inspect pallets. Out-of-region buyers can coordinate freight pickups or work with their preferred carriers.
Our Approach to Reseller Wholesale
We run our operation the way resellers need it run: transparent, consistent, and focused on helping you make money.
Transparent Grading
We clearly label condition grades, provide manifests when available, and post accurate category information so you know what you're buying.
Fair Wholesale Pricing
We buy in volume and pass savings to our customers. Our straightforward wholesale prices let you build margin.
Local and Accessible
Aurora location with easy warehouse access. Load your truck same-day or coordinate freight—we work on your schedule.
Chicagoland Focused
We know the local market, support the local reseller community, and keep inventory flowing through Chicago's resale ecosystem.
This is why resellers come back week after week. We make it easy to find inventory, buy with confidence, and get merchandise moving.
Part of a Larger Network
Surplus Depot is part of a fully integrated liquidation operation. United Liquidations, our sister company, focuses on sourcing surplus, overstock, and closeout inventory directly from retailers, manufacturers, and distributors nationwide. We are a contract holder with major retail organizations, manufacturers, and logistics operators, purchasing surplus and returned inventory directly across different industries.
Because United Liquidations sources directly from major chains and holds contracts with national retailers, we get consistent access to fresh liquidation loads, better category mix, and more predictable supply than open-market brokers. This means our customers benefit from more reliable inventory flow, better pricing, and earlier access to merchandise.
While United Liquidations focuses on large-scale wholesale transactions, Surplus Depot makes that inventory available to independent resellers, marketplace sellers, and professional buyers across Chicagoland and nationwide.
Our B2B liquidation operation serving manufacturers, retailers, and 3PLs nationwide.
Our Location
Surplus Depot is located in Aurora, IL at the heart of Chicagoland's logistics corridor. Our warehouse is easily accessible from I-88, I-80, and I-55, making it convenient for buyers throughout the Chicago metro area and northern Illinois.
We serve local buyers, regional buyers coordinating freight pickups, and out-of-state customers working with their preferred carriers. Whether you're a marketplace seller in Naperville, a flea market vendor in Chicago, or a store owner in Rockford, we're built to serve the Midwest reseller community.
