For Charities, Collectors & Institutional Suppliers
Your collections deserve a reliable home.
Since 1997, Fastex has moved used textiles and goods from charitable and institutional collections to graders and wholesalers worldwide. If you collect clothing, shoes or mixed goods and need a partner who shows up, pays on time and keeps your business private, we should talk.
What We Buy
We take volume off your hands across every category in the trade. Credentials and institutional mixed rags are our priority, and everything else moves alongside.
Credential clothing
Original donations, unsorted, exactly as collected. The most valuable stream we handle.
Institutional mixed rags
Bulk used textiles from collection drives, bins and institutional sources.
Bags & purses
Handbags, totes, luggage and accessories.
Toys
Soft and hard toys.
Used shoes
Paired or singles, all grades.
Bric-a-brac & household
Mixed household goods and general bric-a-brac.
We already source where you are. We want to source more.
Fastex sources directly from charitable and institutional collections across North America, Europe, the UK and Australia. That network is the backbone of everything we ship.
Right now we are actively growing our supplier base in the UK and Europe. If you run a charity shop chain, a collection scheme, a textile bank operation or an institutional donation program in these regions, you are exactly who we are looking for.
We are not a broker sitting between you and a buyer. We export directly, which means your goods reach their destination without passing through extra hands, and you deal with one consistent partner instead of a chain of middlemen.
Freight forwarding, container booking, loading supervision and full export documentation. From your premises to the destination port, the logistics are ours to manage, not yours.
We handle all export logistics
We don't advertise our suppliers and we never share who we work with. Your arrangement with us stays between us. Full stop.
Complete confidentiality
We plan around you and we show up when we say we will. No gaps, no surprises. The same reliability our buyers depend on is the reliability we bring to our suppliers.
Consistent, reliable collection
Prompt payment
You get paid on time, on agreed terms. No chasing, no grey areas.
How much volume do we need?
Our shipments go out as full 40' High Cube container loads. That is the format the trade runs on.
If you already generate FCL volume, we can move quickly. If you are a smaller operation that builds toward a container over time, that works too. We are happy to consolidate consistent smaller collections into full loads, as long as the supply is regular and the quality holds.
What matters most to us is consistency and reliability, not just size on day one. If you can supply steadily, we want to hear from you.
Not sure if your volume fits? Ask us. A two-minute conversation will tell us both.
Let's talk about your collections.
Tell us what you collect, where you are based and roughly how much volume you handle. We respond the same day.
