Stop chasing auctions. Start sourcing on a desk.
Most buyers compete with 50 anonymous bidders for mystery pallets. With MasterStock you skip the auction floor and work a private catalog of vetted US lots, listed at a firm price, with a real manifest, real photos, and recourse if anything misses spec.
- Cherry-pick, don’t bid. Pick only the SKUs that fit your channel, subject to MOQ per line. The rest stays in the lot or rolls into a future bundle.
- We’re aligned with your sell-through. If your lot doesn’t move, we lose your next order. So we screen what reaches you, share what worked for similar buyers, and stay close after pickup.
- Specific request? We source it for you. Send the SKU, category, or volume you want and we tap our US supplier network to bring it back, matched to your profile and channel.
Why apply: we work with a short list of serious buyers. Get on it once, see the catalog every week, and skip the auction churn.
Submit profile
You tell us who you are and what you sell. Operating country, target categories, channel mix, monthly volume range, references on request. Hand-reviewed by a founder, not a form bot.
- Standard intake form, under 60 seconds.
- No NDA needed at this stage.
- Treated as confidential commercial info.
Internal review
We verify the business behind the profile. Registry match, sales channel verification, sanctions screen, references when needed. The goal is to keep the catalog small and serious, not to gatekeep.
- D-U-N-S or local registry lookup.
- OFAC and sanctions list screen.
- 1 business day SLA on response.
Catalog access granted
You receive a private link to this week’s lots, filtered to your approved categories and lot size band. A sample manifest pack is attached so you know the format before you commit.
- Pre-filtered by category and volume.
- Sample manifest pack attached.
- Refreshed weekly, every Monday.
Lot reserved, papers signed
You pick a lot or cherry-pick a subset. Bill of Sale, mutual NDA, commercial terms go out the same day. Reservation holds the pallet for 48 hours while the wire clears.
- Bill of Sale and NDA signed digitally.
- Cherry-pick triggers an MOQ check.
- 48-hour reservation while wire clears.
Pickup window
Once the wire clears, the warehouse address is disclosed and the dock appointment is booked. Pick up with your own carrier or let us coordinate the drayage to your forwarder.
- Warehouse address disclosed post-wire.
- Lane A: your carrier, FCA origin.
- Lane B: we drayage to your forwarder.
Reconcile or escalate
You count what arrived against the manifest. If it matches, the transaction closes and you become a repeat buyer. If variance exceeds 5% at the SKU line level with photo evidence, the recourse workflow opens.
- 5% threshold, measured by SKU line value.
- Photos required to open recourse.
- Pro-rated credit within 5 business days.
Six checkpoints, one business week.
From access request to post-receipt reconciliation. Each node is a documented step with an owner and a deliverable.
What a lot actually delivers to you.
A single lot is a pallet or set of pallets staged in a US warehouse, counted line by line by our team, photographed, and documented in a package you receive before signing.
| SKU | Description | Grade | Units | MOQ | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Pick only the SKUs that fit your channel. Each line carries a Minimum Order Quantity.
- Per-SKU floor. Minimum units released standalone, 150 to 400 typically.
- Set by the supplier. Protects their margin and our settlement math.
- Below MOQ? Line stays in the lot or rolls into a future bundle.
- Full lot? MOQ goes away and per-unit math improves.
What every line carries.
A MasterStock manifest is built to be loaded straight into your ERP, your pricing model, or your retail allocation sheet without re-typing.
- SKU codeInternal MasterStock code that maps back to the supplier’s line.
- Item descriptionPlain text, sized for allocation: category, model, size run when relevant.
- UPC or EANWhen present on the original carton, captured at the unit level.
- Condition gradeA new, B open box, C returns serviceable, D salvage, applied per line not per lot.
- Units per SKUCounted physically against the printed manifest, not estimated.
- Packaging notesMaster carton count, inner pack, retail packaging or polybag.
- Compliance flagsRecall status, MAP restrictions, hazmat, battery, oversize, flagged inline.
Two ways the lot leaves the warehouse.
Title transfers at the US warehouse in both cases. What differs is who books the truck and who handles the export documentation.
Lane A
Domestic pickup, your carrier.
- You book the carrier and the appointment slot.
- Warehouse address shared after the lot is reserved.
- Incoterm: FCA origin warehouse.
- Dock hours and pallet count published on the lot page.
- Bill of Lading stamped by warehouse on departure.
Lane B
Export drayage, your forwarder.
- You nominate the freight forwarder and the destination CFS.
- We coordinate drayage from warehouse to their container yard.
- Commercial invoice and packing list released to the forwarder.
- Container stuffing photos shared on request.
- Title still transfers at origin warehouse; we coordinate only.
How recourse actually runs.
Recourse is a documented workflow, not a goodwill gesture. The variance threshold is 5% of declared lot value, measured at the SKU line level.
Notify within 7 days
Open the recourse ticket within 7 calendar days of receipt at your facility. The earlier you flag, the easier it is to evidence.
Submit the discrepancy log
SKU-by-SKU log with received counts, dated arrival photos, and the signed receiving sheet from your warehouse.
Supplier reviews with us
We share the package with the originating supplier. Standard review window is 5 business days, mediated on our desk.
Resolution, in writing
Pro-rated credit on the next lot, or wire-back when no next lot is queued. Signed off both sides. Target: closed inside one week.
Where our responsibility ends.
Title transfers at our US warehouse.
Once your carrier picks up the lot, the goods are yours. Import duties, customs broker fees, IVA or VAT, and port handling charges in your country are on you. We hand off the documents your broker needs and can refer brokers in the corridors we work most often.
The questions that come up after approval.
1 How long do I have to pick up a reserved lot before storage clocks start?
2 Which carriers do you typically see at the dock?
3 Can I send a 3PL or freight broker to pick up on my behalf?
4 Do you offer Net-30 or any credit terms?
5 Do you ship LCL, or only full truckload and full container?
6 Which categories do you not carry?
7 My AE is slow to reply. How do I escalate?
8 Will I always know the originating supplier?
9 What if I miss a confirmed pickup window?
