Over the course of more than 10 years, King of the North Auction (KOTN) has proudly grown to become Canada's largest premier online auction company. Our reputation thrives on hosting expansive weekly auctions featuring an impressive selection of over 20,000 items, catering to all budgets - from everyday essentials to premium merchandise. With a dedicated staff of more than 180 employees, KOTN continually strives to deliver auctions tailored to our diverse audience.
As we continue to expand, this year marks an exciting milestone: the opening of our brand-new, state-of-the-art 30,000 sq. ft. facility at Mapleview and Veterans Drive, just five minutes from our original location. This facility is specifically designed to accommodate our larger to extra-large items, such as gazebos, patio furniture, major appliances, beds, mattresses, outdoor equipment, and more. This new facility complements our flagship 60,000 sq. ft. custom-built location at Huronia, which remains our primary hub for auctions, administration, and customer service. With this expansion comes new employment opportunities; we encourage you to regularly visit our Employment page for updates on available positions.
KOTN serves as a leading reverse logistics partner connecting major retailers and shipping companies, ensuring a diverse and continually updated inventory for our weekly auctions. Our product range includes items from cancelled online orders, products lost in transit, retail overstocks, shelf pulls, end-of-season clearances, store demonstrations, items with damaged packaging, and select customer returns. The value of our inventory spans widely, ranging from $20 to over $10,000! Each week, our two facilities handle more than 20 to 25 truckloads of inventory, meticulously inspecting, testing, and listing each item on our custom auction platform.
At KOTN, our management team is committed to innovation, continuously enhancing your online bidding experience and streamlining our pickup processes. Customer satisfaction remains the cornerstone of our business. Unlike many auction houses operating predominantly on an "AS-IS" basis, we take pride in our rigorous quality control measures. Nearly all items we auction are backed by a generous in-house warranty, clearly detailed in each listing, giving you peace of mind and confidence when bidding. We do, however, offer select "AS-IS" auctions, primarily through our weekly "risk-reward" pallet sales, featuring salvage, untested, or uninspected pallets and boxes. These items are clearly indicated and provide an adventurous bidding opportunity for those interested in higher-risk, higher-reward items.
Our ongoing success and continued growth are directly attributed to the trust and support of our valued customers, who consistently recommend KOTN to their family and friends.
