As is, is either returned or used on air. Usually they are items that were tried on and returned because they didn't fit. Just like items tried on in a B&M fitting room. I have purchased countless as is items throughout the years, and have always received items in pristine condition. Unless the item is listed as final sale, it can always be returned. Even final sale items can be returned if received damaged. If it is an item you want, try it.

I've purchased a number of "as is" items over the years and never had a problem. As I recall, they are returnable if you are unhappy. They are most often very good values. So, go for it!

They've offered "as is" for years. I've bought several items and never received anything in "crummy" condition. The prices have been great.

As far as as-is clothing goes, I have never had to return anything. I have purchased some as-is shoes; one pair had a few scuffs but the others were fine. Of the few as-is handbags I have purchased, one came missing its storage bag and one had a small scratch; others perfect. A Temptations tea-kettle was like new. On the whole, they are a very good deal.

I had been on a wait list for a Beautiful top when I finally got the order it was a As Is but sent as new! It came in a bag that had a green bag with a stripe on it, it was rolled up and had no tags yet I was charged full price! I called C/S and complained and told them this was not a W/L but something else and I refused to pay full price. They refunded the difference

I've always been hesitant to order anything "as is" but I did order some readers recently. I needed some and they had a nice set of 5, which is exactly what I needed since I have to put them in all my rooms. I did worry but the order looked like it was brand new, maybe the one who originally ordered just didn't like the colors. They had covers on the temples and the stick-ons on the lenses. I did wash and sanitize them since they were going on my eyes but I couldn't tell that they were returns at all. I do feel they were safer than the drugstore ones. Good luck, at least try some things.

I order AS IS all the time. I've never been disappointed. The love the AS IS prices too.

I have purchased quite a few as is things. I have been very satisfied with the exception of one thing, which was a holiday decoration and it did not work. I returned it no problem. Other than that, everything looked brand new.

This past winter I bought three pairs of Cougar boots from the As Is section. Every pair was brand new, tags still on them, tissue paper and cardboard forms still inside. $28.49 compared to the regular price of nearly $100.

I've bought several clothing items in recent weeks - all new. And many more over the years.

So, no, @katie1859 nothing I've received has been in "crummy condition". And everything in the As Is section carries the same return policy as regular merchandise.

As someone has already pointed out - it's all explained at the top of the As Is section. You can read it there.
