Modern living room with wide plank light oak hardwood flooring

You already know how this week goes.

Monday morning. You need 4,000 sq ft of engineered oak for a mid-rise project. Here is what happens next.

Two days on the phone. The lot sold yesterday.

You call six distributors. Leave four voicemails. Chase three quotes. By Wednesday, the lot you wanted is gone. There is no central place to see what is available and what it costs. So you start over.

You bought blind. It showed up wrong.

A contact's contact had a pallet of closeout LVP at a good price. No photos. No spec sheet. It arrived 300 sq ft short with mismatched dye lots. Buying outside a structured marketplace means no recourse when things go sideways.

Five distributors. Five prices. Zero transparency.

Same product. Same condition. Five different quotes, none posted publicly. No baseline to compare against. You have no way to know if you are getting a fair price or paying more because you asked first.

The best lots go to buyers who are already plugged in.

Mill-direct hardwood. Discontinued premium LVP. Name-brand engineered closeouts. Surplus flooring moves fast, and the best inventory gets picked up by buyers connected to the right networks. If you are not in that network, you are always a step behind.

One marketplace. Every surplus lot. Your sourcing advantage.

PlankMarket aggregates closeout, overstock, and discontinued flooring from verified manufacturers and distributors into a single marketplace. Transparent pricing on every lot. Full specs. Integrated freight. The surplus inventory your competitors are still chasing by phone is already listed here.

Common questions from buyers.

Who can buy on PlankMarket?

PlankMarket is a B2B marketplace for flooring professionals. Retailers, contractors, and builders can create an account and browse immediately. Verification is required before checkout. Your business name, contact information, and EIN are reviewed and approved by our team, typically within 1-3 business days.

What types of flooring are listed?

Overstock, closeout, discontinued, and surplus inventory across six categories: hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, vinyl/LVP, bamboo, and tile. Conditions include new overstock, discontinued lines, factory seconds, remnants, and customer returns. Every lot is clearly labeled with its condition.

Can I negotiate on price?

Yes. Every listing supports direct offers. Submit your offer and the seller can accept, counter, or decline within a 48-hour response window. The full offer history is visible to both parties throughout the negotiation.

How does freight work?

PlankMarket uses integrated LTL freight. At checkout, you enter your delivery address and we generate freight quotes from our carrier network based on pallet weight and dimensions. You select a rate, the freight cost is added to your order, and you can track the shipment in real time through your buyer dashboard. The freight quote already includes carrier charges plus marketplace shipping margin, so there is no additional buyer fee on freight.

What if my order arrives damaged or short?

Note any visible damage on the delivery receipt (BOL) at the time of delivery. Open a dispute in your buyer dashboard within 48 hours with photo evidence. Our support team mediates the claim. Payments are held securely until carrier pickup, providing an additional layer of protection.

Is my payment secure?

All payments are processed through Stripe, which is PCI-compliant and used by millions of businesses. PlankMarket never stores your payment card information. Funds are held securely after payment and released to the seller once carrier pickup is confirmed.

How is this different from buying through a broker?

Brokers charge 8-15% commission, control what inventory you see, and add weeks to the process. On PlankMarket, you see every available lot from every verified seller, with transparent pricing and a 3% buyer fee. You contact sellers directly. You negotiate directly. No middleman.

Surplus flooring moves fast. The best lots sell in days.

Create your free buyer account and start sourcing closeout inventory from verified sellers. Full specs. Transparent pricing. Integrated freight. While your competitors are still dialing distributors.
