Third Party Logistics (3PL)
Full-service 3PL operations for retailers, brands, distributors, and liquidation partners moving wholesale inventory across domestic and international markets — warehousing, fulfillment, returns processing, and reverse logistics under one operation.
Four Service Areas. One Operation.
A complete 3PL operation built around four interconnected service areas — designed to keep inventory moving, returns recovered, and operations running efficiently across domestic and international markets.
Warehousing & Distribution
Reliable storage, distribution, and transportation solutions for inventory at every stage.
Reverse Logistics & Returns
Simplifying the reverse supply chain — returns, overstocks, shelf pulls, and recovery.
Value-Added Processing
Customized solutions beyond traditional warehousing — repack, relabel, sort, and grade.
Recovery & Sustainability
Recover more value, reduce more waste — profitable disposition strategies for end-of-cycle inventory.

Simplifying the Reverse Supply Chain
Returns, overstocks, shelf pulls, and discontinued merchandise can quickly consume valuable resources. Our reverse logistics solutions help retailers, manufacturers, and distributors efficiently manage the flow of products back through the supply chain — while maximizing recovery opportunities. We manage every stage of the process: transportation, inspection, sorting, consolidation, and final disposition.
By creating efficient recovery pathways for returned and surplus products, we help businesses reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and recover value from inventory that might otherwise become a loss.
Customized Solutions Beyond Traditional Warehousing
Many products require additional handling before they reach their final destination. Our value-added processing services help customers meet retailer requirements, improve inventory readiness, and streamline supply chain operations — tailored to fit your specific product and customer requirements.
These services help reduce labor demands, improve speed-to-market, and ensure products arrive ready for sale or distribution.
Recover More Value. Reduce More Waste.
Not all inventory belongs in a landfill. We help businesses develop responsible and profitable disposition strategies for excess, obsolete, returned, and unsold inventory. Leveraging our expertise in logistics, secondary markets, textile recovery, and liquidation channels, we create customized recovery programs that maximize value while supporting sustainability goals.
When inventory reaches the end of its primary sales cycle, we help determine the most effective path forward — whether that’s resale, redistribution, recycling, export, or responsible disposal. The goal is simple: recover the highest possible value from every asset while minimizing waste and supporting a more sustainable supply chain.

USA for UNHCR Gift-In-Kind Refugee Aid Distribution
Over a two-year engagement, Salvage Trading served as the U.S. fulfillment partner for the Gift-In-Kind (GIK) program operated by USA for UNHCR — the U.S. arm of The UN Refugee Agency. We coordinated inbound freight from contributing brands, including Patagonia and KUHL, into our facility, where product was received, sorted by SKU, inventoried, packaged, and shipped to refugees worldwide.
Across the program, the team processed and shipped more than 700,000 pieces of clothing — every unit SKU-tracked from inbound to outbound, every shipment routed to the destinations specified by USA for UNHCR. We built and operated the full reverse-fulfillment chain, from receiving dock to the final container leaving the U.S.

Salvage Trading Inventory System (STIS)
The recycling and fiber industries operate on weight — material is purchased by the pound and invoiced by the pound. Off-the-shelf inventory systems aren’t built for catch-weight operations, and the few that are come at enterprise-only pricing. So we built our own.
STIS — the Salvage Trading Inventory System — handles both catch-weight (by the pound) and piece-count (by the unit) inventory natively. Originally built for textile and fiber operations, it was further extended for the UN UNHCR program where piece-count precision was required. Today the system tracks every load, every item, every receiving report, and every shipping report — giving partners full visibility and documentation across the operation.
