FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the benefits to using Relay for my surplus inventory?

Here’s what we hear most often:

  1. You can reduce or eliminate excessively marked-down inventory, so you can keep your customers focused on full-priced, higher margin products.
  2. You can instantly use the resources to sell old inventory (staff time, floor space, marketing efforts, etc) on your most profitable products and best customers.
  3. You will sell more items at full price.
  4. You get effective sales support without using any additional resources.
  5. We offer free appraisals, free pick up and shipping for your inventory, and various payment options to meet your needs.
What challenges does Relay solve?

Surplus, old, and unproductive inventory takes up a disproportionate amount of resources (capital, staff time, rent, floor space, marketing efforts, etc.) compared to more profitable products. Relay provides an easy, effective, and secure method to sell excess inventory without a retailer using any additional resources.

What retailers does Relay work with?

We typically work with independent retailers in athletic footwear – specifically running, bike, triathlon, and outdoor sports.

What products does Relay work with?

We can best support athletic footwear with a retail value of $80 or more.

When will I get paid?

Payments are initiated once the inventory has been received and processed. This usually takes 3-5 business days.

Will I have an actual human to support me?

Absolutely.  Your store will have a personal account manager.

Can I send other products?

We focus on footwear but will evaluate apparel, socks and accessories on a case by case basis.
