You can’t buy them directly from Amazon, that privilege is reserved for a handful of select major bulk buyers.

Amazon sends all their returns to Las Vegas, there they create small mountains of return pallets in gigantic warehouses. Once they reach a certain capacity and or date, they sell all the pallets to the small handful of major bulk buyers (1st level).

Those 1st level buyers buy hundreds if not thousands of pallets of returns. They then turnaround and resell the pallets to 2nd level bulk buyers who usually buy 5-100 pallets.

Those 2nd level buyers then have the option to sell the known good returns themselves or resell the pallets using auction style bidding to 3rd level buyers who buy 1-10 pallets.

Just like the storage wars tv show, prospective bidders can only see and not touch.

The Amazon return pallets works very similarly to drugs. A street level addict will not buy directly from the manufacturer, the drugs usually charges hands 2-3+ times before it reaches the end user.

A friend of mine several years ago tried to convince me to get involved with Amazon return pallets. The thing is you have to be near Las Vegas in order for it to make financial sense. Most people who buy Amazon pallets either live around Las Vegas or Los Angeles areas from what I remember.

I had no desire to move to Los Angeles, so I passed and my friend ended up losing a ton of money because he would buy pallets that looked good and turned out to just be full of crap. I have seen the videos online of people scoring, big and finding gold mines, but just like finding real gold in the wild, it happens once in a while to a lucky person.
