The Via Trading website offers a set of tools designed to make sourcing wholesale liquidation merchandise easier: the Load Center for searching and filtering all listings, real-time shipping quotes, Make an Offer (LiquidateNow) listings, customizable email notifications, online event registration, manifest and invoice retrieval, and Buyer Tools calculators. This page walks through each feature and how to use it.
We are always looking to enhance our website and available features, and we love to get feedback to help us improve. If something is not quite right, or you are having trouble achieving your objective, please let us know at feedback@viatrading.com and our team will be right on it. Beyond basic features such as online registration, ordering, search, and product filtering, here are a few things we would like to point out:
Load Center
Search and filter all our product types and availabilities in one central location.
Load Center Features
- View available case lots, pallets, LTLs, and truckloads
- View quick pop-up manifest summaries when applicable
- Filter all listings using various criteria
- View, summarize, search, and download manifests instantly when applicable
- See new listings and recent loads added
- View discounted or “On Sale” loads instantly
Log into the Load Center to get started. Please note: you must be logged in to your account to use the Load Center. If you do not have an account, you can create one for free.
What You Can Filter By
- The store the goods come from
- Merchandise category (electronics, clothing, etc.)
- Product condition
- Lot size (i.e., number of pallets)
- FOB point
- Manifested, unmanifested, or partially manifested
- Price range
- Special pricing or discounts
- Number of pallets
- Whether the load has a unique image associated with it
This allows you to find what you are looking for quickly and easily, and to determine whether a particular load or listing is right for you based on its cost, its pallet count, its condition, and its content. Where applicable, manifests can easily be accessed with one click and allow you to:
- Sort by any column in the manifest (ascending or descending)
- Summarize by various metrics (aggregate color, size, brand, etc.)
- Download full manifests or summarized manifests as you see fit
We trust that the Load Center will make your purchasing experience smoother and easier. As you navigate around the Load Center, please feel free to email us any comments, suggestions, or feedback at feedback@viatrading.com.
