Evidently, QVC is selling pallets with items that are returns, broken, previously used on set or have some sort of issue.

 

Jodi Lytle on Tik Tok/Facebook purchases these pallets and opens them online.  It is fun to see what she bought and what comes out of the boxes.

 

The pallets are $500 with shipping at $400.  They are delivered to her garage and the fun begins.

 

There are many Slatkin candles, some used and some not, Temptations, Valerie merchandise, Lock & Lock and host of other things.

 

After opening the packages, I have no clue what she does with everything.  I can't imagine selling these things would be equal to money she spent on them. 

 

If interested in watching, google Jodi Lytle, QVC, and it should pop up for you.

Agree with @jackthebear . QVC has been selling pallets for many years. 

 

Before influencers, like Jodi, trended the "watch me open the mystery box/mystery pallet", these pallets were typically purchased by small business resellers and eBay resellers. I don't know if this is an option now, but QVC did sell product specific pallets, some were all clothing items, some all housewears etc. Items were over stocks and returns, but they did their best to screen out the truly " used" items, like soiled clothing and candles that were obviously lit/burned. Now it seems these pallets contain all sorts of used and broken items, but there are also many that are new/unused. 

 

Jodi just opened a bunch of Slatkin candles (Slatkin, Slatkin x Elton John, and Slatkin x Kathy Hilton). One of the Hilton candles was perfect (over $150 QVC price) and another, also very expensive, that was used. She opened a lot of Valerie items, some of the glass items were broken. Most of what Jodi gets, she keeps, gives to friends and family and donates. She has a sister, Jill, who is also an influencer, and they sometimes will sell items from their boxes/pallets. 

 

Along with the website"As is" products, QVC sells a lot of the overstocks, returns and items used on air at the outlet store in Frazer, PA. Years ago they had 3 other outlet stores in PA, 2 in Delaware, one in Florida. All closed now.

Companies have been doing this for many Many Years. It’s a gif way for them to get rid of unwanted merchandise. Not my cup of tea but my husband would have loved it.

People have made businesses from home selling left over goods.  That's how many of the vendors on Ebay get their Q merch at a deep discount.

 

I have seen pallets that were much more than $500.00 so I think they tend to vary in price.

I guess some people love the element of surprise. lol.   I imagine it is a lottery,as to what you get. 500 buxs isn't bad if you could go pick the pallet up, but 400 shipping.?  My granddaughters age 21, 32, love buying these surprise boxes of BoBO babies or something like that they get at Asian, or the Japanese store.  They pay 20 bux, and don't know what figure they will get. There is the hot item everyone wants. lol. They say there is a one in 5 chance of getting it. lol.  I know discount retailers buy pallets like these from QVC, TJMaxx and other places.   they do have different grades, and levels you can choose from. But you take what you get. The seller usually guarentee's  a certain value.  You know when you go in a discount retailer that has clothes, and you see things that ma be dated, awful colors or just odd. The seller usually includes a few of these things they couldnt  sell for a couple years.    I'm not a gambler like that.  But I would love to watch the buyer open the pallet. Lol

LOL, 900.00 bucks and then find out I don't like the items... well... that and the divorce that would soon follow. Man Embarassed
