is overstock.com too good to be true? - Page 2

[lucyem]

I buy a lot of books there. Unlike amazon the prices are better, the shipping costs less, and the books get shipped very quickly. I have never had a problem. I have bought a few other things on there and like the books I have only had good luck. A friend of mine has bought a lot of furniture on overstock and has had some amazing finds. Like any online store where you cannot see the item first you do take a little bit of a chance. Read the reviews and keep an eye on the return policies.

Everything I've bought there has been broken and had to be returned (a vacuum, a desk, and a digital camera). I am a huge bargain shopper and I felt like I gave them many chances but I basically gave up on them.

I've had very good luck with Sierra Trading Post (especially with the frequent 20% and 30% off coupons found at http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/mess...yword1=sierra_
and Home Decorators Outlet.

I did get some pretty cool shoes from Overstock for super cheap,
though. Hmm...

Still, FatWallet only gives them 3 stars (out of a possible 5).

Sheets are pretty unlikely to break in shipping

I have bought from Overstock.com many times. One year, I found a great deal on sheets, so I bought some for my daughter and son in law, for Christmas. When they came, I was so impressed that I immediately went online and bought some for me!

I haven't looked for sheets at Overstocks, but I have bought a lot of sheets at Land's End.

Check their Overstocks page for the best deals. You might not get your first choice of color, but the quality will be terrific.

I've gotten good deals on good stuff at overstock. Like pp's have said, you just have to be sure and read everything--the reviews, product description, return policy, etc.

I like Sierra Trading Post better.

My dad buys stuff off of there all the time. He swears by it! He's bought sheets, mattress pads, etc. He loves it. I keep meaning to check it out, whenever I need something, but I always forget.

I've been buying from Overstock for several years now. I've only had a couple very small issues, and I've bought a fair amount from them. And all my issues have been in the Worldstock section, things that were made cheaply, not great quality, but then again I've gotten some awesome gifts from that section as well. I always look at the reviews as well. We have many an item that is still going strong from Overstock!
