ECOMMIT Used Clothing: Buying Options and Order Terms

Buying ECOMMIT used clothing starts with choosing the right goods to enquire about: a sorted category, mixed-source clothing or shop returns. ECOMMIT’s English wholesale pages describe these options and an export enquiry route. They do not, by themselves, give you a complete current offer with a price, accepted condition, packing specification and payment schedule.

For an importer or reseller, the important question is whether the quoted goods suit the way you sell. A named seasonal category can still include garments you cannot move locally; a mixed load can require more receiving work than its price suggests. This guide explains ECOMMIT’s published options, what to settle in a written offer and how to compare the resulting cost. Public supplier information was checked on 13 November 2026.

Quick Takeaways

ECOMMIT Used Clothing: Which Offer Should You Request?

ECOMMIT’s English clothing page describes clothing collected in Japan, with sorted seasonal categories for women and men, a children’s mix, mixed clothing and shop returns. Those descriptions are a useful starting point for an enquiry, rather than a current inventory list.

Sorted categories narrow the assortment, but still need exclusions

A sorted request makes sense when your sales channel has a clear gap: women’s warm-weather clothing, for example, rather than a broad load covering several departments. You reduce the number of categories your receiving team must separate, but you still need to define what belongs in the requested category.

ECOMMIT uses the category name “Women’s Spring and Summer.” A retailer selling in year-round heat should not translate that into a promise of lightweight summer garments only. Spring clothing can mean different things to the seller and the buyer. Explain the fabrics, garment types and heavier items you would exclude, then see whether the current offer can meet that brief.

Fit matters alongside season. A shop selling mainly adult casualwear may have little use for formalwear or sizes outside its customer base, even when the garments are wearable. Separate a wrong-category item from a condition defect in your enquiry. Otherwise a disagreement over an unsuitable dress may become an argument about whether it was “good quality,” when the real problem was an undefined assortment.

Ask which requirements can be accepted and which cannot. A clear limitation can be commercially useful: you can decide whether another outlet will take the unwanted portion, whether to change the category, or whether to defer the order. A category name alone cannot make that decision for you.

Mixed A/B descriptions do not replace a condition specification

The clothing page describes its mixed A source as secondhand shops and its B source as local-government household collection. These are collection-source descriptions. They do not give a complete acceptance definition for stains, holes, fasteners, wear or the proportion of different garment types.

The distinction matters because collection source and resale suitability answer different questions. A shop-collected item can still be unsuitable for your sizes or season. Household-collected clothing may require a different inspection and sorting approach. Neither label, on its own, tells you how many pieces will suit your shop or what receiving work the load will require.

This also prevents a misleading comparison with Indetexx. Indetexx uses order-specific category and Grade A/B/C definitions for its wholesale used clothing. Matching the letter A across two quotations would not establish matching goods. For an Indetexx offer, request the condition definition and exclusions for the quoted category; for an ECOMMIT offer, clarify its source description and the accepted physical condition. Compare those written descriptions, rather than treating the letters as a shared standard.

Where you can sell several categories and have staff to separate them, a mixed request may be worth examining. Where a single shop needs a narrow refill, the same mixture can create storage and labour costs. The right choice follows your outlet and receiving capacity, not a general rule that sorted or mixed clothing is always better.

Use the Export Enquiry to Define the Order

ECOMMIT’s sales enquiry page provides an export route with fields for the destination, monthly volume and requested goods. Its corporate site also presents circular collection services, including PASSTO. An enquiry about collecting unwanted items is a different task from buying export stock; start with the export page when you want a clothing offer.

State the goods and shipment request before discussing a price

The export form includes 20ft, 40ft and LCL choices. These give you a way to describe a shipment request; the current reply must confirm whether that option and quantity can be accepted. Do not build a purchasing budget around an unchecked form choice.

The product page describes garments compressed into bales or bundles and accessories packed in boxes. For your offer, establish the number of packages, net garment weight, gross shipment weight and whether clothing and accessories are quoted separately. A headline weight without that distinction can make two offers look comparable when they are charging for different things.

A useful opening enquiry could read:

We are considering women’s warm-weather clothing for resale in our named destination market. Our preferred items are lightweight casual tops and dresses; we would exclude heavy outerwear. Please state which current category could meet this request, the condition definition, net garment weight, packing, minimum quantity and available shipment basis. Please also identify any requirements you cannot accept.

Add your real destination port and expected buying volume. Keep an initial trial quantity separate from a monthly forecast: a future intention to buy repeatedly is not the same as the quantity you are committing to now.

The reply should let you connect one product description to one quotation. If the category changes during discussion, have the quotation changed as well. A price attached to a broad mix is not necessarily a price for the narrower assortment you subsequently requested.

Clarify what the 100% payment acknowledgement means for this order

The form includes an acknowledgement of full payment. That establishes a published percentage, but not the event that makes payment due. Full payment before packing, before dispatch or at another agreed point produces different cash-flow and evidence requirements for the buyer.

Ask for the payment trigger, quotation validity, invoicing entity and beneficiary details in the written terms. If a receiving inspection or a requested sample is part of your decision, establish where it sits in the sequence. An attractive product description is difficult to act on when you do not know which evidence you will receive before funds are due.

Also settle what happens if the available goods differ from the accepted description. The public acknowledgement is not a substitute for an agreed process covering substitutions, quantity differences or a documented receiving discrepancy. These are questions for the current offer, not policies that can safely be filled in from a website checkbox.

Apply the same discipline to an Indetexx quotation. Its category and container options do not settle the payment schedule or the accepted contents of a particular order. Comparing suppliers fairly means requesting the same commercial details from each.

Build the Cost From a Current Offer

There is no verified current ECOMMIT used clothing price list in the public material reviewed for this guide. That limits what can be quoted here; it is not evidence that ECOMMIT is expensive or unreliable. Request a price for the actual category and shipment you are considering.

Put quotations on the same weight and service basis

Begin with the unit being sold: kilograms, bales, pieces or another stated basis. If one offer uses bale prices, convert it only after confirming the net garment weight represented by each bale. Keep packaging weight separate.

Next establish which services the quoted total includes and where the seller’s responsibility ends. Add only the freight, handling and other costs outside that total. Counting an included freight charge again overstates cost; leaving an excluded charge out understates the cash you will need.

A practical comparison has two levels:

1. Delivered cost per net kilogram: the purchase total plus costs you still bear to receive the goods, divided by net garment weight.
2. Cost per saleable piece: that same total, including your receiving work where applicable, divided by the pieces you expect to sell through your actual outlets.

The first helps compare transport and purchase units. The second connects the offer to your business. Neither is a profit calculation: selling costs, time to sell and revenue still matter.

For a wider route comparison, our auction versus direct sourcing guide explains how different buying arrangements transfer costs and receiving work. The ECOMMIT decision here remains tied to its current clothing offer.

An illustrative budget: cost per kilogram versus cost per saleable piece

The following figures are invented to demonstrate the calculation. They are not an ECOMMIT or Indetexx quotation, current freight rates, an import-charge estimate for any country or observed shipment results.

Assume a buyer is budgeting for 1,000 net kilograms. In this illustration the goods price excludes every additional item listed below.

On this assumed basis, the cost is $2.20 per net kilogram. If the buyer expects to receive 5,000 pieces and sell 4,500 of them, the budget is about $0.49 per saleable piece. If only 4,000 fit the available outlets, it rises to $0.55. The 5,000-piece count and both saleable-piece assumptions are illustrative too; a kilogram does not contain a fixed number of garments.

This is why a lower price per kilogram can still produce a higher cost for the pieces your shop needs. Garment weight changes piece count, assortment changes outlet fit, and receiving work changes cost. Use your own records to estimate these variables. With no comparable history, calculate several plausible outcomes and identify what evidence would narrow the range before committing.

Keep secondary sales separate in the working sheet. A garment unsuitable for the main shop may have value through another outlet, but that outlet’s capacity and selling costs still need to be real. Treating every received piece as equally saleable hides the very uncertainty the calculation is meant to expose.

What a Visit or Sample Lets You Check

ECOMMIT’s export page describes visits by prior arrangement. The useful question is what you would be able to examine during that visit. A guided tour can help explain operations, but it does not establish a right to handpick garments or inspect every bale in a proposed order.

The clothing page also states that its gallery examples are Grade A only. That limits what the gallery can tell a buyer considering another source or category. Ask whether images relevant to the quoted goods are available and what they represent: general examples, a category being processed or the specific stock offered to you.

If you request a sample, first establish whether one is available and how it would be selected. A few deliberately chosen pieces can illustrate fabric or condition without showing the distribution inside a mixed load. A sample linked to the proposed category is more useful when its selection method and limitations are clear. Neither the website nor this guide promises a sampling service.

Use any visit, images or agreed sample to test the specification you wrote. Look for the garment types and exclusions that determine your sales, then examine the condition issues you have defined. This is more informative than deciding that a small selection simply “looks good.”

Carry those definitions into receiving. Record actual net weight, category differences, condition issues and the labour needed to separate the goods. Such records help you explain a discrepancy and improve the next enquiry. A successful first order provides evidence about that order; a repeat order still needs its own accepted description.

Two Buying Scenarios: Category Stock or a Mixed Load

These are hypothetical buyer situations, not reports of ECOMMIT customers, completed purchases or measured results.

A retailer refilling lightweight women’s clothing

Consider a retailer whose best-selling lines are lightweight casual tops and dresses. The shop has limited storage and no established outlet for heavy garments. ECOMMIT’s women’s spring/summer category is relevant to investigate because it narrows gender and season, but the retailer cannot assume every garment will suit a hot-weather rack.

The opening request therefore describes the intended lines, acceptable size range and exclusions. The retailer asks whether the current offer can meet those requirements and whether relevant category evidence is available. The decisive issue is not whether the category name sounds close; it is whether the seller can accept a sufficiently useful definition.

Suppose the reply offers the broader seasonal category without agreeing to exclude heavier pieces. That does not make the offer poor stock. It makes the fit unresolved for this retailer. Without a secondary outlet, the retailer should revise the request or defer the order rather than quietly budgeting as if every kilogram were lightweight clothing.

If the reply does accept the required category and exclusions, the next decision is cost. Convert the actual offer into net garment cost and test the budget against a cautious saleable-piece estimate. Resolve payment timing and the evidence available before payment. If those terms fit the shop’s working capital, continuing with ECOMMIT can be a reasonable choice.

The same retailer might also explore an Indetexx category-specific bale request. Indetexx allows discussion of category, grade, bale and packing requirements, so the retailer can use the same brief to obtain a separate current offer. It must still establish what is accepted; the existence of a category option is not a promise of a fixed assortment, size mix or saleable yield.

A wholesaler considering mixed-source clothing

Now consider a wholesaler with a receiving team and more than one resale outlet. This business can potentially place different garment types into different channels. A mixed ECOMMIT enquiry may therefore be worth evaluating in a way that would make little sense for the single-store retailer.

The wholesaler starts with the collection-source definition and asks what physical condition and category information can be supplied for the current offer. It then budgets for separating the load, storing slower lines and moving stock to its secondary outlets. The source label helps identify the offer; the receiving plan determines whether that offer is workable.

A low purchase figure is insufficient if the wholesaler cannot estimate the added sorting work. Equally, a broad mix is not automatically unattractive when the business has the labour and outlets to use it. The order decision should turn on the written goods description, relevant evidence, total cost and the capacity of those outlets.

For a separate comparison, Indetexx offers mixed and category-specific clothing bales and 20ft/40ft container options. The wholesaler can request an offer on the same destination and receiving brief, asking how the order-specific category and A/B/C definitions apply. Those options do not establish a current loading weight, category ratio, minimum quantity or equivalent Japanese-collected stock.

If either quotation leaves the usable assortment too uncertain for the budget, the wholesaler can defer both. If an order proceeds, the most useful reorder evidence is the receiving record: what arrived, how long it took to sort and which outlets actually absorbed it. Reorder against that experience and a new accepted specification, rather than assuming the supplier’s name alone makes the next load identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are shop returns necessarily unworn?

No. The description identifies a return source; it does not establish that every garment is unworn. Ask for the condition definition and any available information on why the goods were returned before treating them as new or near-new stock.

Does a company address confirm where my shipment will leave from?

No. An office address does not establish the dispatch warehouse or loading port for your order. Ask for those details in the current offer, together with the packing and freight basis you will use in your cost calculation.

Does Indetexx supply or represent ECOMMIT stock?

This guide does not offer ECOMMIT stock through Indetexx or present Indetexx as its agent. Direct an ECOMMIT purchase enquiry to ECOMMIT’s export contact. The Indetexx enquiry below concerns a separate offer for Indetexx’s own used clothing; it does not imply shared inventory or Japanese origin.

Choose the Offer and Send a Clear Brief

If your requirement is specifically ECOMMIT’s Japan-collected clothing, its published categories and export enquiry provide a practical starting point. Continue when its current written offer resolves the goods, evidence, payment and delivered-cost questions that matter to your business.

If you are also considering other sourcing options, use the same brief for an Indetexx offer. That makes the comparison useful without assuming the two businesses sell equivalent stock. Choose the offer that fits your category and receiving capacity; defer a purchase when the remaining uncertainty would make the budget depend on guesswork.
