Any issues buying from Overstock?

I saw a decorative Garden Bridge that I am in love with for my garden. I checked Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart and Home Depot...

Overstock has if for 40.00 cheaper and free shipping too.

I've never dealt with them before and I was thinking it might be better to spend the extra 40.00 at Amazon and have no hassles....

Anyone purchase from them lately?

It's been a while since I've ordered from them but I never had any issues when I did.

I have purchased a few things from them and my experience has been great. They have great customer service also.

Over the past two or three years I have ordered two bathroom vanities from them. I think I also bought a mirror and light fixtures for the bathroom from them.

Delivery was on time, and the delivery company was great. I had no problems. I'm not sure if I've ev er needed to return anything to them.

@Nataliesgramma I've ordered from them a few times with no problems at all...and, in fact, just placed an order this morning!

Yes. They sent the item I ordered but in the wrong color. Called and they said to send it back. I told them since it was their fault I was not taking the item to the post office (or ups I forgot which) as it was a big box item. They said they would pick it up, just not know when. I did not want to leave the purchase out for days so I argued with them and they finally narrowed the time for pick up to a day. This was an exchange for the color I originally wanted. The item they sent was the wrong color AGAIN.. I bought the item for a few dollars more on another site and received the correct color. Not a good experience.

I've ordered around 6 times from them over the years. The last purchase was 3-4 months ago... A shelving unit, it arrived early and in good condition.

I've never had any issues with them, and my sister orders from them a lot !

None. Have ordered a few times. I always shop around because these online vendors tend to sell the same or similar merchandise and sometimes the prices or sales can save some $$$. I've used Overstock, Wayfair, HayNeedle and some others - never had any problems. Amazon ain't the only tree in the forest.

@jellyBEAN I agree and Amazon can sometimes, many times, be more expensive than other sites. So worth it to shop around.

This is one reason that I prefer businesses that will not give any such trouble -- Amazon, Wayfair, Target, and some others are easy to deal with when it comes to returns, whether it was their fault or not.

I guess it's okay if the price difference is so much better, but I've not noticed amazing prices whenever I've checked out Overstock.
