Where to Buy Activewear Wholesale: The Current Shelf
Last updated: September 2026
Bottom line: 49 activewear lots are live on Closo Wholesale right now, priced $26 to $3,740, with per-unit costs running $2.20 to $37.40 — shipping out of California and District of Columbia, from vetted U.S. liquidators. See the live shelf: Activewear lots for resale.
Activewear holds resale value better than basic apparel because leggings, sports bras and performance tops from brands like Nike and Lululemon carry brand recognition that survives a liquidation cycle.
Three suppliers carry the most volume on the shelf today: TAGCO — The American Gift Company, Chase (USA) International, and North Pines Inc., between them covering the full $26-$3,740 range and both ship-from states.
Why the per-unit spread is so wide
A $37.40 per-unit lot at the top of the range is almost always name-brand, single-item pieces sold in small counts; a $2.20 per-unit lot near the floor is a bulk assortment, likely mixed sizes and styles sold by weight or case count rather than by SKU.
Knowing which one you are buying before you pay is the difference between a profitable flip and a warehouse of unsold mediums.
Three Verified Suppliers Cover the Activewear Shelf
Bottom line: TAGCO — The American Gift Company, Chase (USA) International, and North Pines Inc. carry the bulk of the 49 live activewear lots, shipping out of California and District of Columbia, and together span the shelf's full $26-$3,740 range.
1. TAGCO — The American Gift Company
TAGCO lists activewear alongside general merchandise closeouts, with lots landing across the shelf's price spread depending on brand mix and size run. Per-unit pricing on its lots tracks the category range of $2.20-$37.40, and like most of the shelf its listings are assortment lots without a full item manifest — 48 of the 49 current lots fall into that category.
Confirm the ship-from state before ordering and check the lot's stated unit count against the price to sanity-check the per-unit math yourself. Resellers building a Poshmark closet around athletic brands often start here because the volume lets them fill several listings from one order.
2. Chase (USA) International
Chase (USA) International also lists activewear as part of a broader apparel and closeout catalog, shipping primarily from California. Its lots skew toward the higher end of the per-unit range when they include recognizable brand names, and toward the $2.20 floor for mixed, unbranded assortments.
As with any assortment lot, treat the listed unit count as an estimate rather than a guarantee and price your resale plan off the conservative end.
Get a freight quote before committing — California shipments to the East Coast can run $80-$150 depending on lot weight, and that cost belongs in your margin math from the start, not as an afterthought.
3. North Pines Inc.
North Pines Inc. is the third named supplier on the current shelf. Where a listing ships from District of Columbia rather than California, North Pines is the more likely source among the three named suppliers — worth noting if freight time from the East Coast matters to your buying decision.
As with the others, expect an assortment lot rather than a manifested one and budget accordingly. A D.C.-based lot also tends to reach Mid-Atlantic and Northeast buyers faster than a California shipment, which is worth factoring in if turnaround speed matters more than price.
Beyond these three: checking the full shelf
TAGCO, Chase (USA) International, and North Pines Inc. are the suppliers with the most listings right now, but the live shelf on Closo Wholesale updates as new liquidators list inventory — check it directly rather than treating this as a fixed roster.
A newly listed supplier with a small $26-$50 lot is often testing the market before scaling up its own volume.
How to vet any of these before you order
Run the same three checks regardless of which name is on the listing. First, confirm manifest status — with 48 of 49 lots unmanifested, plan for an assortment unless the listing states an item list.
Second, check the supplier's record on the Closo supplier registry; an established liquidator carries a filing history you can confirm in under two minutes. Third, pay through Closo Payment Protection or another channel with buyer recourse instead of a direct wire transfer, so a short or mis-described lot becomes a resolved claim rather than a write-off.
A first order in the $50-$150 range, well under the category's $3,740 ceiling, is enough to test a new supplier's accuracy before committing real volume.
Track fill rate on that first order — how close the actual unit count came to what was listed — since that single number predicts how a supplier will perform on a larger order more reliably than anything in the listing copy.
Quick tangent — the live shelf on Closo Wholesale lots shows what is actually listed and priced right now; worth a look before your next order.
Comparing the Three Suppliers on the Activewear Shelf
Bottom line: the 49 live activewear lots range $26 to $3,740, and where to buy activewear wholesale comes down to matching a supplier's ship-from state and price tier to your own resale plan rather than picking by name alone.
| Supplier | Ship-from | Per-unit band | Manifest | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TAGCO — The American Gift Company | California | $2.20–$37.40 | Mostly assortment | Buyers wanting the widest mix of brand and price tier |
| Chase (USA) International | California | $2.20–$37.40 | Mostly assortment | Buyers who already source apparel from Chase in other categories |
| North Pines Inc. | District of Columbia | $2.20–$37.40 | Mostly assortment | East Coast resellers prioritizing shorter freight time |

Reading the table: price tier over supplier name
All three suppliers operate inside the same $2.20-$37.40 per-unit band, so the more useful comparison is not "which supplier" but "which price tier." A lot near $37.40 per unit is almost certainly single-brand, boxed activewear you can list individually at $25-$40 on Poshmark; a lot near $2.20 per unit is a bulk mix better suited to bundle listings or a local resale event, where volume matters more than brand story.
Freight is the deciding factor when the per-unit numbers are close. A California-shipped lot reaching a Midwest or East Coast buyer can add $80-$150 in freight depending on weight, while North Pines Inc.'s District of Columbia location cuts that cost meaningfully for buyers east of the Mississippi.
On a $200 lot, a $100 freight swing changes your effective per-unit cost by roughly 50%, which is large enough to flip a lot from profitable to break-even before you have sold a single item.
Manifest status is the same story everywhere on the shelf
None of the three named suppliers currently list a fully manifested activewear lot — 48 of the shelf's 49 lots are assortments, spread across all three. That means the comparison rarely comes down to "which supplier discloses more," since none of them do at the item level right now; it comes down to how you price the uncertainty.
A conservative approach values every assortment lot at the low end of its per-unit range, $2.20, until a first order proves the actual mix runs closer to $37.40.
Order size is the other lever worth comparing across the three. A $26 entry lot from any of the suppliers is small enough to absorb a bad guess on condition or mix; a lot near the $3,740 ceiling is not, so treat your first order with any of the three as a test regardless of which name you start with.
Once you have real fill-rate data from one supplier, that experience — not the table above — should drive whether you scale up with the same name or spread orders across two.
Test One Lot Before You Commit to a Supplier
Bottom line: With 49 activewear lots live from $26 to $3,740, the fastest way to settle where to buy activewear wholesale for your own resale business is to run a $50-$150 test order before scaling with any single supplier.
Head to the live shelf on Closo Wholesale, filter to an entry-tier lot from TAGCO, Chase (USA) International, or North Pines Inc., and confirm ship-from state and manifest status before you pay.
Once that lot arrives with the count and condition matching what was described, you have real fill-rate data to size a second order toward the $3,740 end of the range with confidence rather than a guess.
Where to go from here
The Closo Wholesale blog covers supplier vetting, freight math and resale pricing across other apparel categories, useful before you move from a single test lot to a standing supplier relationship. It also covers what recourse looks like if a lot arrives short — the same steps apply whether the invoice reads TAGCO, Chase (USA) International, or North Pines Inc.
