Company research

Fetched Sep 26

BuyWander runs an online auction marketplace where bargain-seeking shoppers bid on returned and overstocked retail goods and pick up their wins at local warehouses.

Founders

Jordan Allen · Co-Founder & CEO
Brock Kowalchuk · Co-Founder & CFO
Before BuyWander, Brock Kowalchuk was CEO of Kaspien, a Spokane e-commerce company that helped online brands boost sales on Amazon and other e-commerce platforms.

Competitors

Mac.bid (M@C Discount), B-Stock, Liquidation.com, ReturnPro

WHY IT MATTERS

BuyWander targets a costly waste problem: returned and overstocked goods can sit in warehouses, be destroyed, or go to landfills, while retailers absorb return-processing costs and shoppers look for more affordable products. Its $21M Series A matters because the company reports 325 employees, 50,000 active and winning customers, and nearly 500,000 items sold in a month across eight warehouses, giving it capital to expand its warehouse network and technology nationwide.
