2. We sell on

Our buyers are stock traders, retailers, online retailers and wholesalers from all over the world. With a strong export network in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa we find a new market for every lot. Even goods with brand restrictions get a second chance this way.

Besides whole lots, we also sell per outer carton: useful for smaller retailers and online shops. Put together your own pallet from our changing range.

3. Our shops and warehouse sales

Private customers are welcome at our special warehouse sales and in our shops Maxx and Actieverkoop. Keep an eye on the calendar and our social media for the next sale days.

A second life for unsold stock

By buying up and selling on surplus stock we prevent waste and support the circular economy. Kooistra.com featured prominently in the VPRO Tegenlicht documentary Op volle retouren about the returns industry.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of lots does Kooistra buy?

Household goods, textiles, toys, tools, decoration, seasonal products, clothing and returned goods. Small lots and mixed lots are as welcome as full containers.

How quickly will I receive an offer?

Usually you receive a fair, no-obligation offer within 24 hours of your request.

Do you supply retailers or only wholesalers?

Both. We supply retailers, market traders and wholesalers across Europe and beyond, and we run a B2B webshop where retailers and traders can buy directly.
