Sourcing from Our Suppliers

We work with a network of thrift store chains, textile recyclers, clothing graders, liquidators, and overstock dealers across the United States, Canada and the UK.   These organizations generate significant volumes of used clothing and household goods on a regular basis.

ESB Trading purchases this merchandise in bulk, paying suppliers promptly and handling all downstream logistics. For our suppliers, the relationship is simple: they call us when they have volume, we pick it up and pay.

Qualification and Verification

We work closely with our supplier partners to qualify and validate the merchandise that is being offered for sale.   After more than 20 years in this business, we know what different international markets want, and we hard to deliver merchandise that meets and exceeds our buyer's expectations.

Logistics

Merchandise is packed into containers or trailers, and shipped is shipped to its destination, complete with manifests and other required documentation. We manage all export documentation, customs compliance, and logistics coordination. Our buyers receive their containers on time, with the contents they ordered.

We actively monitor exchange rates, port conditions, and regional demand to keep our buyers' costs predictable and their supply chains running smoothly.

Buyers Resale

Our buyers — importers, distributors, and market traders across West Africa, Latin America, and beyond — purchase containers and resell the merchandise through their local networks. For many of them, ESB Trading is a trusted long-term supplier they have worked with for years. That trust is built on consistent quality, honest pricing, and reliable delivery.
