By the pallet. By the truck. Halim Brothers sells liquidation freight upstream — pallets and truckloads to the people who run the stores, not single items to the people who shop them.
No retail floor. No single-item price. Tell us what you move, and we send you the list.
Pick a unit, pick the paperwork, then talk price.
Wholesale liquidation is bought in two decisions and a phone call. Pallet or truckload. Manifested or not. Then the number.
Pallet or truckload
A pallet is one stretch-wrapped skid of goods — the standard unit, bought one or a few at a time. A truckload is a full 53′ trailer of pallets or gaylords from one source, bought as a single lot. Fewer, bigger cheques.
Manifested or not
A manifested load travels with an itemised list — description, quantity, unit retail, condition code. An unmanifested load comes with a category and an estimate. Cheaper, because the buyer carries the uncertainty.
Quoted against the list
Wholesale is quoted as a share of manifest retail — cents on the dollar — or as a flat figure per pallet or per load. Every load is quoted on its own. Ask for the list, then ask for the number.
Your truck, or a carrier’s
Pick up at the dock with your own van, box truck or trailer, or have freight arranged — LTL for a few pallets, FTL for a load. Freight is quoted apart from the goods.
Pricing, minimums, payment and freight are quoted per load. Call 510-229-0027 or request a manifest and we come back with the list and the number.
One skid, wrapped and ticketed.
The skid under a wholesale pallet is the one figure the whole trade agrees on. Everything stacked on top of it is the negotiation.
A 48 × 40 inch skid — the GMA standard — is what a forklift, a trailer floor and a dock plate are all built around, which is why it is the unit wholesale is sold in. What sits on it is stacked to a height, wrapped in stretch film, and described by a load ticket: piece count, weight, the summed retail of the manifest, and the mix of condition grades inside.
Three habits separate resellers who last from resellers who don’t: read the condition column before the retail column — a high manifest retail of salvage-grade goods is a high number, not a good one; check the manifest date against the load in front of you, because lists get reused; and never price a load off the photo — stretch film hides everything.
Where a load changes hands.
Location, pickup, freight — the questions a reseller asks before starting the truck. One phone call answers all three.
Burlingame, CA 94010
Customer pickup. The reseller brings a van, a box truck or a trailer; the forklift sets the pallets on; the load is the buyer’s the moment it crosses the dock plate. Cheapest by far, and the reason most pallet buyers are local.
Arranged freight. One to a few pallets go LTL — less-than-truckload, a shared trailer, billed by weight and class. A full load goes FTL on a dedicated trailer. Freight is quoted apart from the goods and often costs more than a cheap pallet did; residential and liftgate deliveries add fees a first-time buyer rarely expects.
If you resell, this page is for you.
Wholesale liquidation has a small, specific set of customers, and they all speak the vocabulary above. If you run a store, a stall, a listing or a container, you are one of them.
Discount retailers
Buy gaylords and mixed pallets by the truckload and sell by the piece or by the day. Volume buyers; unmanifested is fine.
Market & swap-meet sellers
One to a few pallets at a time, usually customer pickup, usually one category.
Online resellers
Manifested pallets in a narrow category, because every item has to be listed, photographed and shipped one at a time.
Exporters & brokers
Truckloads and multi-load contracts, priced on manifest retail, moved by freight.

Wholesale, asked and answered.
No. Halim Brothers sells wholesale only — loads to resellers, not single items to walk-ins. There is no retail floor and no single-item price on anything.
A pallet is one wrapped skid of goods — the standard unit of wholesale liquidation, bought one or a few at a time and usually collected by the buyer. A truckload is a full 53-foot trailer of pallets or gaylords from one source, bought as a single lot: the lowest cost per unit and the largest commitment.
A manifested load travels with an itemised list: one row per item or SKU with a description, quantity, unit retail value and condition code. Its retail column, summed, is the “manifest retail” that wholesale prices are quoted against. An unmanifested load comes with a category and an estimate instead of a list, and is priced lower because the buyer carries the uncertainty.
Every load is quoted on its own — by the pallet or by the truckload, manifested or not, picked up or shipped. Use the request form or call 510-229-0027, tell us what you move, and we come back with the list and the number.
Yes — pickups are arranged by phone. Call 510-229-0027 before you send a truck so the load is staged and the paperwork is ready when you arrive.
Nothing on its own. It composes a plain-text message in your browser and opens your own messaging or mail app with it filled in. No server receives it and nothing is stored by this page; you send it yourself.
