When global buyers choose a supplier for used shoes and accessories, one factor matters more than anything else: quality they can trust. At Retex Textiles, we’ve built our reputation on consistent grading standards, strict inspections, and a commitment to delivering products that meet the demands of international wholesale buyers.
With over 350,000 lbs of shoes graded every month, our scale allows us to maintain consistent quality while ensuring fast, reliable shipments worldwide. Here is how we guarantee excellence in every single container we ship.
1. Careful Sourcing: The Foundation of Our Quality
Every great shipment begins with the right sourcing.
Retex Textiles partners with trusted suppliers across North America to collect:
- Lightly used athletic shoes
- Branded casual and dress shoes
- Children’s shoes in excellent condition
- High-demand seasonal footwear
We prioritize suppliers who consistently provide clean, modern, and exportable inventory. This ensures that the products entering our warehouse meet our initial quality benchmarks before sorting even begins.
2. Sorting & Grading: Rarely Worn vs. Gently Used Shoes
Our multi-stage grading process is the heart of our quality control system. Each pair of shoes is inspected by trained graders who evaluate:
- Condition: rarely worn, gently used, or non-exportable
- Brand demand: Nike, Adidas, Puma, New Balance, and other popular labels
- Durability: soles, stitching, and structure
- Cleanliness: ensuring every pair is resale-ready
Our Primary Grades Include:
- Grade A (Rarely Worn): Minimal signs of wear, clean, highly exportable
- Grade B (Gently Used): Light wear but durable and marketable
- Mix Grades: Based on customer demand and regional preferences
This attention to detail allows us to maintain consistency and deliver shipments that match the buyer’s exact specifications.
3. Secure Packaging: Durable Bags Built for Export
Once graded, every pair is packed into heavy-duty woven polyester bags designed for long-distance shipping. Our packaging features:
- Thick polyester fabric that resists tearing
- Strong stitching to handle high-pressure stacking
- Consistent bag sizes for accurate loading and weight distribution
These export-ready bags help protect your product from damage and ensure your shipment arrives in the same excellent condition it left our facility.
4. Final Inspection Before Loading
Before a container is sealed, our team conducts a final quality inspection. This last step includes:
- Random sampling of bags
- Confirming grade consistency
- Checking moisture levels
- Ensuring clean and intact packaging
- Verifying total weight and bag count
Only after everything meets our internal standards do we proceed with loading and arranging the container for optimal stability.
