Toronto: Save Warehouse Fees by Effectively Liquidating Unneeded Office Furniture

There are a number of reasons why a business might want to liquidate its office furniture. Shuttering and downsizing are the most common reasons to find an excess of furniture on your hands, but one can also find themselves with a surplus of perfectly usable office furniture if a growing business is moving to a new location or completely renovating an old one.

While we provide warehousing for our clients, we understand that the ideal situation is to find a buyer for that office furniture, thereby minimizing your warehouse storage fees.

Assess Before You Store

Make sure that your office liquidators have enough time to fully assess your furniture before calling us to disassemble it. They’re going to need to see your furniture in its fully assembled state in order to provide an accurate quote to potential buyers.

Keep Your Own Inventory

While we keep detailed inventories of our stored furniture, we suggest that you keep your own records as well. This can help you more accurately project how much of a return you’re going to see on the sale of your furniture, as well as allowing you to double-check to ensure accuracy on the part of your liquidators.

Say ‘No’ to Cherry Picking

While it might be tempting to unload some big-ticket, high-demand items right away, allowing liquidators to ‘cherry pick’ choice items will inevitably leave you ‘holding the bag’ with the rest, paying for storage (and possibly eventually throwing out) a number of low-demand items.

Choose Qualified Liquidators

Unfortunately, we do not provide office liquidation services ourselves. We suggest that you thoroughly vet your liquidators, check their references, learn more about their company, and make sure that they have both adequate experience and a shining track record.

Choose Choice Movers and Warehousers

We’ve already posted some tips to find the right office warehouse, but we would be remiss if we didn’t open ourselves to the same amount of scrutiny through which we suggested putting your liquidator. Feel free to learn more about our 14 years of experience, take a look at our glowing recommendations, and when the time comes, give us a call to get started!
