Used Pots, Pans and Housewares in Bulk: What a Gaylord Holds
Good cookware lasts for decades, which is why used pots and pans are one of the most dependable products a household-goods trader can stock. Families value a solid pot or pan, and in many markets a used one from the United States offers quality they could not otherwise afford.
What is in a load of pots and pans
Our pots and pans come from donation streams, commercial kitchens and thrift surplus. A typical load includes stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron and non-stick cookware, along with lids and other metal kitchenware. We supply both raw unsorted and graded loads.
What a gaylord is
A gaylord is a large, heavy-duty cardboard box built to sit on a pallet. We pack cookware in triple-wall gaylord boxes or small boxes, which keeps the load dense and protects it in transit. Gaylords are easy to move with a forklift and simple to count at your end.
Bric-a-brac: the rest of the house
Bric-a-brac covers household items such as glassware, ceramics, small ornaments, kitchenware and decorative home accessories. It is packed in triple-wall gaylord boxes or small boxes to prevent breakage, and it suits buyers who run general goods stalls and secondhand shops.
Who buys housewares
- Household goods wholesalers
- General market traders
- Secondhand shops that want a fuller range
- Buyers who want to add hard goods to a clothing container
Selling tips
- Sort by material: stainless, cast iron, aluminum and non-stick each have their own customers.
- Match lids to pots before display, because a complete set sells faster.
- Clean and polish the best pieces and price them individually.
- Bundle smaller items such as utensils and small pans.
- Show sets together on a table so customers can see a whole kitchen.
Load sizes
Pots, pans and bric-a-brac ship in full 20 ft and 40 ft high-cube container loads, or as part of a combined load with clothing and shoes.
