Target vs. Amazon: Which High Piece Count Truckload Is Better for Your Bin Store?
By Mike T.
If you run a bin store, you know the game is won or lost on piece count and customer excitement. To keep those bins full and the line out the door on Friday mornings, you need volume. But not all volume is created equal. At Department Store Liquidations, the two biggest contenders for bin store owners in 2026 are Target and Amazon High Piece Count loads.
The Case for Target: The Premium Bin Experience
When we look at Target High Piece Bin Store Loads, we are looking at a very specific type of inventory. Target is famous for its "clean" liquidation. These loads often consist of high-quality overstock and shelf pulls, meaning the packaging is crisp and the brands are recognizable.
For a bin store owner, Target offers brand loyalty. When a shopper sees a Cat & Jack item or a Threshold home product in your $7 bin, they know the original retail value. This builds trust and keeps them coming back. While Amazon has the variety, Target often wins on the "retail-ready" feel of the merchandise.
Target HPC
Higher ratio of overstock/shelf pulls. Strong private label brands like Bullseye’s Playground and JoyLab. Generally cleaner packaging which leads to higher "perceived value" in your bins.
Amazon HPC
Massive variety including tech, gadgets, and small kitchen items. These are often "raw" returns, meaning more LPN stickers but a higher chance of finding "hidden gem" high-value electronics.
The Case for Amazon: The Variety Powerhouse
If your customer base loves the "treasure hunt," Amazon Bin Store Truckloads are hard to beat. Because Amazon sells everything under the sun, these loads are incredibly diverse. You might find anything from phone accessories and LED lights to beauty products and small home appliances.
However, the trade-off is often in the condition. Amazon loads are frequently customer returns. While the piece count remains high, your staff may spend more time sorting through opened packages. But for stores that thrive on "high volume/low price" models, the sheer quantity of items per pallet is a huge win.
The Verdict: Why We Lean Toward Target
While both Bin Store Trucks perform well, we often recommend Target for owners looking for long-term stability. The lower damage rates and higher brand recognition mean less waste and faster sell-through. Your customers aren't just buying "stuff"—they are buying Target-quality goods at bin prices.
