Shoppers are in a frenzy over a chain of retail outlets where you can snag Amazon customer returns and overstock for an unbelievable fraction of the price.

TikTok user ‘meganmariac’ posted a video of her haul from one of these locations, often referred to as a Trade Outlet.
Her video, which showed aisles filled with discounted goods, quickly racked up 180,000 views in less than 24 hours.
Meganmariac explained that she was initially on the hunt for a few personal bits, but the sheer volume of discounted goods – especially in the kids’ and tech sections – was impossible to ignore.
A toy originally priced at £30 was just £5, while an iPad case (RRP around £20) was a ludicrous £3.
You can find entire sections dedicated to children’s books, games, and paint-by-numbers sets for as little as £2, making these stores an absolute cheat code for Christmas and birthday gifting.
She also grabbed a £45 wireless camera for just £5, and a fancy smartwatch that would normally cost around £90 was only £20.
Even health and beauty items, like a box of Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums retailing for around £33, were down to a mere £6.
Her ultimate haul of an iPad case, a screen protector, and some adorable croc charms came to roughly a tenner.
The Golden Rule
If you’re expecting a curated retail experience, think again.
“It’s really overwhelming. It’s so busy here,” Meganmariac admitted.
This is the liquidation zone: the home of customer returns, minor packaging damage, and overstock.
Many of the best items are still sealed in plain brown delivery boxes, which means shoppers have to check the tiny labels to be sure of what the item is.
Where to find them?
While there are many places that sell liquidation stock, the specific “Trade Outlet” chain meganmariac visited has become famous for its Amazon-heavy returns.

The chain has several locations, including major sites near Chester Gates (often situated opposite a Costco), Liverpool, and Trafford Park.
