ASM ships direct from the distribution center as customer returns and undeliverables, unmanifested and unprocessed across all categories. Nothing has been picked over between the source and your dock, so the load you buy is the load the program produced, undeliverables and all. Undeliverables are frequently unopened product that simply never reached a doorstep: refused deliveries, failed addresses, and carrier returns that never met a customer's hands at all. What you buy is what the program built, carton for carton.
ASM is a code buyers reorder, and the reason is predictability. It runs distribution-center direct: a dependable mixed assortment of bulky boxed product that arrives the same way one load to the next, so a buyer learns the pattern and trusts it. That steadiness is rarer than it sounds in returns merchandise, where most codes swing load to load. When the shape of what lands holds steady, you can plan a floor around the code before the truck is even loaded, and reorder against a known quantity instead of guessing fresh each time.
The boxes run big, and that shapes the buy two ways. Condition is mixed and returns-driven, so we describe it the way the load record shows it rather than rounding up, undeliverables and shelf-pull returns side by side. And the freight is real: bulky cartons fill a trailer and your staging area fast, so we quote the lane upfront, on top of the load price, and you should size up your receiving space before you commit, not after the truck is already rolling to your dock.
ASM fits a range of floors. Individual and online sellers list and ship the boxed units one at a time. Pallet-sale resellers split a load into smaller lots for other floors. Discount stores and other retailers stock the dependable DC-direct assortment on their shelves, and auction houses clear the oversize singles to local bidders. When the next load lands is the program's call, not ours, so set the ASM alert and the next matching load reaches you as a message, tagged to the regions and categories you actually buy.
