Kole Imports & Closeouts LAST VERIFIED: August 7, 2026

Kole Imports & Closeouts is a long-standing wholesale general-merchandise and closeout house at 24600 Main Street in Carson, California, founded in Los Angeles according to company claims. Styling itself ‘Your Profit Source,’ it supplies fast-selling wholesale merchandise, bulk buys and closeout deals across dollar-store goods, housewares, toys, health and beauty, and novelty items, and runs case-pack programs for resellers. External signals are mixed but substantial: a 4.2/5 Trustpilot rating across 550 reviews, a Shopper Approved seal and more than 24,000 Facebook followers — set against a sharply lower 1.7/5 rating on Yelp. No founding year is documented in the record itself.

The headline term is the minimum: the current site requires a $1,000 minimum order, a recent increase from the $250–$500 minimums cited historically in third-party listings, and one that drew customer complaints. Above that threshold ordering is open, with no wholesale account approval required. Payment is accepted by card and PayPal. Orders ship from the Carson, California warehouse, with customers reporting roughly five-day delivery; rate details are not stated. There is no stated dropship program. Resellers should also note the homepage is script-heavy and renders nearly empty to scrapers, so product research may work better inside the catalogue itself than via search engines or third-party tools.

Kole is a real, physically anchored closeout wholesaler with genuine scale signals — a Carson warehouse, case-pack reseller programs, 550 Trustpilot reviews at 4.2/5 and a large social following. The caveats in the record deserve weight. Reviews are sharply mixed, with Yelp at 1.7/5 against the stronger Trustpilot score, suggesting inconsistent customer experiences. The recent raise of the minimum order to $1,000 drew customer complaints and prices out small resellers. And the script-heavy homepage renders nearly empty to scrapers, hampering research. For established resellers who can clear the $1,000 bar, a trial order is reasonable; read recent reviews on both platforms first and confirm the current minimum before planning inventory.
