Sell Your Excess Drinks Stock

What Happens to Excess Drinks Stock?

If your business has more drinks stock than it can sell through its usual channels, we may be able to help.

We buy suitable excess drinks stock across the UK, including soft drinks, energy drinks, bottled water, juice, sports drinks, mixers and other beverage products.

Excess stock can take up valuable warehouse space and tie up money that could be used elsewhere in your business. Selling suitable stock can provide a practical way to clear inventory while recovering value from products you no longer need.

Tell us what you have, how much stock is available and where it is located. We can review the details and discuss whether the stock may be suitable for purchase.

What Is Excess Drinks Stock?

Selling surplus stock is not only about finding a buyer. Businesses also need a process that is easy to understand and helps them make a sensible decision about stock that may otherwise sit in storage.

This can happen for many reasons. A business may have ordered too much stock, experienced lower than expected demand, changed its product range or received a cancelled order.
Whatever the reason, suitable excess drinks do not necessarily need to remain in storage until they become difficult to sell.

We can consider different types of excess beverage stock depending on the product, quantity, condition, packaging, remaining shelf life and other buying requirements.

  • Stock Situations

Why Do Businesses Have Excess Drinks Stock?

There are several common reasons why drinks become excess stock.

Overstock

Businesses sometimes purchase more drinks than they can sell through their existing customers or sales channels. This can leave pallets or cases sitting in storage for longer than expected.

Cancelled Orders

A cancelled customer order can leave a manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor with stock that was originally allocated for a specific customer.

Changes in Demand

Changes in customer demand can make some drinks harder to sell than expected. Seasonal products and promotional lines can be particularly affected.

Range Changes

Retailers and wholesalers may change their product ranges, leaving existing drinks inventory that no longer fits their current offering.

End-of-Line Products

Packaging changes, product replacements and discontinued lines can all result in drinks stock that needs another route to market.

Seasonal Stock

Seasonal drinks can become excess when demand changes or the relevant selling period comes to an end. Reviewing the stock early can give it a better chance of being moved.

Who Can Sell Excess Drinks Stock?

We work with businesses that have suitable commercial quantities of excess beverage stock.

Drinks Manufacturers

Manufacturers can be left with excess products following production runs, order changes, packaging updates or changes in customer requirements.

Wholesalers & Distributors

Wholesalers and distributors may have drinks that are no longer required for their usual customers or sales channels.

Retailers

Retailers can accumulate excess drinks following range changes, promotions, seasonal demand or slower sales.

Importers

Importers may have excess stock when customer demand changes or an order does not sell as expected.

FMCG Businesses

FMCG businesses can sometimes hold significant quantities of beverage stock that need to be moved through an alternative commercial route.

Excess Drinks Stock We Can Consider

Every stock enquiry is different. We can consider suitable drinks stock depending on the available information and buying requirements.

Short-Dated Excess Drinks

Excess stock with a shorter remaining shelf life can become harder to sell through normal channels. If you have short-dated drinks, it is better to make contact early and provide the actual best-before dates.

End-of-Line Excess Drinks

End-of-line products can still be suitable for resale even when they are no longer part of your normal range. Packaging updates, discontinued products and range changes can all create excess inventory.

Clearance Drinks

Clearance stock can include drinks that need to be moved because of overstock, cancelled orders, range changes or other commercial reasons.

Discontinued Drinks

When a drink is discontinued, businesses may still have cases or pallets remaining. Suitable discontinued stock may have another route to market.
