Our story
Retail returns, rescued and repacked
What we do
Every year, retailers process millions of returns, shelf-pulls and overstock units. Much of it is still new or barely used, but too costly for the store to restock and resell one item at a time. We buy it by the truckload, sort it in our Lexington warehouse, and hand-pack it into mystery boxes by tape color, so every box holds a real shot at a genuinely valuable chase item alongside everyday retail finds.
We've been covered by NBC, CBS, ABC, barchart, NewsNet and openPR, and thousands of shoppers have unboxed a Porch Pirates box on video.
