WHO WE SERVE
Brands and Manufacturers
For returns, warranty inventory, excess production, discontinued SKUs, packaging changes, and channel-sensitive products.
Retailers
For store returns, distribution-center inventory, seasonal transitions, closures, and recurring excess.
3PLs and Fulfillment Centers
For abandoned client goods, refused shipments, inactive inventory, fulfillment returns, and warehouse cleanout projects.
Distributors
For aged inventory, canceled orders, discontinued products, damaged packaging, and excess purchasing.
TAILORED PROGRAMS
Programs designed around your business.
Move fast, recover value.
No two businesses need the same reverse logistics program — and no enterprise buyer should wait two weeks for a quote. We design every engagement around what your category, brand position, and risk tolerance actually require, then deliver firm offers in 24–48 hours with payment terms (wire before pickup) you can take to your CFO.
Recurring Programs
Standing quarterly or monthly cadence with predictable terms. For retailers and brands with consistent return volume that benefits from a scheduled exit valve.
Customer Returns
Bulk return inventory by the truckload or pallet. Mixed condition acceptable — we buy it as it sits, no triage required from your team.
Distressed Inventory
Recalled goods, damaged inventory, regulated categories. Specialized handling for goods where standard liquidation channels create risk.
Project-Based Liquidations
Store closures, restructurings, discontinued lines. Single-engagement programs with defined scope, timeline, and documentation requirements.
Overstock & Slow-Movers
Clear shelf and DC space for the inventory that's actually moving. Recurring quarterly or monthly programs available.
Premium & Branded Goods
For brands where channel and condition matter as much as recovery. Includes mandatory debranding, channel restrictions, and grey-market controls.
Brand Protection
Your brand equity is protected before our truck arrives. In writing.
Every Centerpoint engagement includes brand controls documented in writing — channel restrictions, geographic limits, debranding requirements, and resale conditions enforced contractually with every buyer in our network. We don't ask you to trust us. We hand you the documentation that proves we earned it.
Channel Restrictions
Bind buyers contractually to where your inventory can resurface. No Amazon, no eBay, no major retailers — enforced in writing.
Geographic Controls
Restrict resale to specific territories, regions, or export-only markets. We control where your goods end up, not just where they came from.
Debranding & De-labeling
Verified removal of branding, tags, and identifiers before resale — with photo documentation and certificate.
Verified Destruction
When resale isn't appropriate, full destruction with Certificate of Destruction issued for your records. Standard for recalls, regulated goods, and brand-protected categories.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Confidential from the first conversation. Documented from the first signature.
Reverse logistics is sensitive data. Volumes, pricing, sourcing patterns, and category performance can reveal more about your business than your public financials. Centerpoint treats every engagement as confidential by default — and backs it up with the standard documentation enterprise procurement teams require, available on request before any inventory details are shared.
EXPORT & INTERNATIONAL
Sometimes the right answer is "not in this market." We have the downstream to take it there.
For brands managing channel sensitivity, discontinued lines, or product transitions, the cleanest disposition path often runs through international markets. Centerpoint maintains export-qualified buyer relationships across Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia — giving your inventory a home that doesn't compete with your active U.S. distribution, often at recovery rates higher than domestic closeout.
