What Is BinStoreLocator?
BinStoreLocator is a free online directory that helps shoppers find Amazon return bin stores, liquidation shops, and overstock outlets near them. We list store addresses, phone numbers, pricing information, and what types of merchandise each store carries.
What Are Bin Stores?
Amazon bin stores — sometimes called Amazon return stores, liquidation bin stores, pallet stores, or mystery bin shops — are retail locations that purchase truckloads of Amazon returns, overstock, and shelf-pull merchandise and resell them to the public at flat-rate prices.
Unlike thrift or discount stores, bin stores price every item the same regardless of original retail value. A $200 power tool costs the same as a $5 kitchen gadget. That flat-rate model is why people drive across town to dig through bins on restock day.
How Do Bin Stores Work?
- Amazon pallets are purchased: Bin store owners buy truckloads of Amazon returned, overstock, and unsold merchandise from Amazon liquidation channels and third-party pallet brokers.
- Bins are stocked: Merchandise is sorted into large bins on the sales floor. Items are not individually inspected — they go directly from the pallet to the bin.
- Flat-rate pricing: Every item in the store is priced the same on a given day — typically $10–$25 on opening day.
- Weekly price drops: Most stores run a 5–7 day pricing cycle. Prices drop each day until everything is $1 or sold. Then the cycle restarts with new merchandise.
What Can You Find?
Bin stores receive a wide variety of merchandise including electronics (headphones, tablets, smart home devices), clothing and shoes, toys and games, kitchen appliances, tools and hardware, beauty products, sporting goods, and household items. Inventory varies widely week to week and even day to day.
Tips for Shopping Bin Stores
- Visit on stocking day (usually Monday or Tuesday) for the largest selection
- Visit on the last day of the pricing cycle (Saturday or Sunday) for the lowest prices
- Inspect everything carefully — all sales are typically final
- Test electronics if the store allows it before purchasing
- Bring cash — some stores offer a small discount for cash payments
- Go early on stocking day — the best items get picked out quickly
