B-Stock Direct is the platform’s enterprise tier: instead of bidding on public auctions, high-volume buyers sign direct contracts with retailers for consistent, dedicated inventory streams at negotiated volume pricing that beats the auction. This is not a storefront you browse — it is a supply relationship you qualify for, with truckload-plus minimums, a real onboarding process, and negotiable (rather than flat 10%) buyer premiums. It only makes sense once you are reliably moving roughly 10+ pallets a month and can bring sell-through data to the negotiation. The correct path is to build a track record on B-Stock’s public auctions first, then apply to Direct to lock in supply for scaling. For small or new resellers, this page is a roadmap, not a starting point.
