Assessment, discretion and next steps.

Specific stock needs specific information. If your question is not covered, use the central enquiry form and we will respond clearly.

What does Meridian Stock Solutions do?
We provide a business-to-business route for commercially viable non-food stock. Suitable opportunities may be acquired directly, with the commercial, operational and brand-related terms agreed before anything proceeds.
What types of stock do you consider?
We may consider new and sealed, excess, surplus, residual, seasonal, discontinued, open-box and selected returned non-food consumer stock. Every opportunity is assessed individually.
Who do you work with?
We welcome enquiries from businesses, organisations and professional stockholders. Anyone offering stock must be able to demonstrate ownership or clear authority to sell it.
What quantities do you consider?
Our main focus is commercial quantities, from meaningful carton or mixed-lot volumes through to pallets and larger stockholdings. Suitability depends on the product, condition, location and demand—not quantity alone.
What information should I provide?
Please include product names or a manifest, quantities, condition, location, ownership position, asking price, timescale and any known restrictions. Photographs, testing information and representative samples may also be useful.
How do you decide the best route for my stock?
We first ask what outcome matters to you. We then consider the products, condition, volume, location, timing, brand positioning, territory and channel requirements. The proposed route should fit the client’s priorities rather than forcing every holding through the same process.
Will my enquiry and identity remain confidential?
We treat client identities, stock information and commercial discussions with care and do not publicise a relationship without permission. Any specific confidentiality requirements should be raised at the outset and documented where agreed.
How do you protect brands and existing sales channels?
Before a transaction, we can discuss appropriate controls around geography, timing, buyer type, de-branding, packaging or particular channels. Any restrictions relied upon should be confirmed clearly in writing.
Does an enquiry guarantee an offer?
No. An enquiry allows us to assess the opportunity but does not create an offer, contract or obligation. Further information, samples or an inspection may be required before terms can be proposed.
Can you arrange collection?
Yes, collection may be arranged where the location, quantity, access and agreed transaction make it practical. Transport, loading responsibilities, collection windows, costs and risk transfer are confirmed separately in writing.
Can stock be shipped or sold to other countries?
Yes, suitable international routes can be considered. Product compliance, customs, duties, territory restrictions, logistics and the client’s brand requirements are reviewed case by case before any route is agreed.
Do you handle returned or mixed-condition stock?
We consider selected returns and open-box opportunities where the condition profile can be understood. Manifests, grading information, testing, sample checks and photographs help us assess the work involved.
Can you support recurring stock movements?
Yes, where the products and operational requirements are a suitable fit. Tell us the expected categories, condition, average volume, frequency, location and any reporting or brand requirements.
What stock will you not consider?
Our focus is legitimate non-food consumer stock. We will not proceed with counterfeit, prohibited, unsafe or recalled products, or stock where ownership and authority to sell cannot be established. Other exclusions may apply depending on compliance and operational requirements.
How does Meridian reduce waste and carbon impact?
Where practical, we look for routes that keep viable products in use, reduce avoidable disposal, consolidate movements and reuse or recycle suitable packaging. The appropriate route still depends on the stock and the client’s objectives.
How quickly will you respond?
We aim to acknowledge clear enquiries promptly. Assessment time depends on the information provided, product type, volume, condition complexity, restrictions and whether further checks are needed.
