First Aid Supplies Online

Closeout and Clearance products offer some tremendous values.

About 5 years ago one of our biggest vendors called me to let us know that a big shipment of first aid cabinets that we had ordered had arrived and failed QC.  Their immediate concern was to find a way to fulfill the order with a different product but the conversation did pique my curiosity.

They had a container load of first cabinets that didn’t pass their quality control.  In this case it meant that the silk screening on the front of the cabinets was not acceptable.  So I asked if I could have a look and they said sure.  What I found was that the cabinets were fine quality it’s just that the silk screening was not perfect.   They didn’t look bad, they just weren’t perfect.

They didn’t feel like they could charge us the full price of the order if the silk screening wasn’t done to specification and they were correct in that assessment.  We asked them what they were going to do with all those cabinets and they said they would just put them in the dumpster.  Yikes!

That’s when our closeout/clearance page came to fruition.  I thought rather than waste all these otherwise great kit cabinets we could sell them as closeout/clearance products.  So we launched our closeout page with three different cabinet sizes to choose from and put them on sale for less than half price.  The only catch was they wanted us to take delivery of the entire shipment so overnight we were up to the rafters in first aid cabinets.  It was really kind of spooky initially with pallets of first aid cabinets plied up everywhere getting in the way.

The story does have a happy ending however.  In less than 6 months we had sold more than half of the cabinets and by the end of the year they were all gone to good homes.  Since then we’ve added dozens of items over time and our closeout/clearance page has become quite popular.

We recommend that you have a look and bookmark the page as the items offered there change frequently and once they are gone they are gone.

So what will you find at our closeout/clearance page?  There will always be some quality first aid products available there for various reasons.  Some will be there because they are close to their expiration dates.  Other products are being closed out because they were slow movers and are taking up room in the warehouse.  Still others have been discontinued by the manufacturer whatever the reason it give you a great opportunity to pick up some great first aid products at tremendous bargains.

Keep in mind that all closeout items are sold as is and may not be returned.  Having said that, clearance items qualify for free shipping just like any other items and you can use any promotional discount Ecoupons you have.
