You’ll find excellent customer service from AML. We interviewed Bill Gulledge of AML, who told us, “We want our customers to be successful with purchases from our company so we build relationships to increase repeat sales. We don’t do retail, our customers get all the cherries, just as they should,” he added.
AML wrote the original book, “Liquidation 101,” which was responsible for many business start-ups that populated the liquidation industry. We asked Gulledge who their customers are; he replied, “We sell to off price buyers, closeout sellers, brokers, flea market vendors, auctioneers, online sellers, wholesalers, retailers, exporters, distributors, non-profit organizations, surplus stores, chain stores and yard sales,” he replied. “We also sell to competitors,” he added. “In fact, we support the off price retailers who are the future of this industry, and we believe in good old fashioned integrity, accountability and creditability,” said Gulledge.
AML also sells by the pallet in addition to by the truckload. They have a huge variety of pallets in stock, and they have an electronic system that notifies customers of the latest deals. Customers can join AMLs mailing list to be advised of up-to-the-minute offers.
