When clothes are "as is" does that mean they are all the items returned or clothes worn by hosts?  If all returns are listed I would think there would be lots more of them.

"As is" can be many things. Sometimes it is something the host or models wore; sometimes it can be an item that was on display. For instance, clothes on a rack that the host goes thru to show the different colors; that would be an "as is" sale.

I have received many "as is" items that look brand new to me, which leads me to believe that my experience has been with presentation items that were for show only or maybe worn once by the model.

Every single "as is" I have received was included in it original packaging, free of any "used" look to them, and in some cases I know they weren't even touched. One of the items I ordered "as is" was a suitcase with five items inside. Each of those items inside were still tightly sealed individually that made it clear they were not opened and resealed. The main suitcase must have been one that was on display, but the inside items didn't need to be seen; probably used to show a different color.

I believe items that have been returned are "as is." I have received shoes that didn't fit, so I sent them back for an exchange. That would be considered "as is" even though there was no wear and tear on them. I knew the minute I put them on that they would hurt my feet and I put them back in the box and sent returned them.

Other people have said they have had "as is" that were dirty, torn, smelled, etc. That has not been my experience.

I normally save 50% on "as is" items.

You still have the same return policy (30 days) for any "as is" items, so there is no problem if you don't like the way the item looks when you get it. You may return it.

Each of the "as is" item I have received had a tag on it saying it was "as is," and then explaining how it may have been used prior to it getting to me (host/model used it, displayed during a presentation, etc.).

@World Traveler I appologize for asking.

I see a lovely pair of shoes here and the price is stated AS IS. I fancy it.

Does that mean to me that the shoe may have been already worn ( I mean used and walked to the pavement)

[World Traveler]

@Dinaki I have no way of knowing for sure if the shoes you find appealing have been worn and walked on pavement. You would have to receive it first to determine that.

The shoes might just be ones that were on display in order to show the different colors the shoes come in. They may have been worn by the host or model and not worn outside on pavement. Perhaps just in the studio from the dressing room to the "stage" area. Or someone, like me, might have received them and found after trying them on that they don't feel right on my foot, and were returned.

I look at "as is" items as an easy way to save money and also a purchase that can be returned if it is in bad shape. I always think it is worth a try.

If there is something terribly wrong with it, then mark it as defective and return it. Shipping costs for returned defective items will not be charged against you. You will not have to pay for the return shipping costs if you use their label and the item is marked as defective on the return instructions.

Let us know if you get them and how it turns out.

@World Traveler I do appreciate you for taking the time to explain to me with full details, I thank you kindly dear.

@World Traveler  Thank you too for the good info.  There is a jumpsuit I'm looking at that is bound to be returned by some since it was a TSV.  If all those go to "as is" then I have a good chance of getting one.  Patience right!

have ordered a few "as is" and they were all in perfect condition

if I want something I look there first

have seen as is and the same item at 2 different prices

I have MANY as is items. Most items (mostly clothing) have been in perfect unused unworn clean condition. As is items are well worth the money especially if it's been something you've really wanted but certainly not at the (full) price. A lot of (clothing) items here are way over priced. If I see something I'd really like to have or have been needing, I always check all three categories - clearance, last clicks, as is.

Only a few times have I received a real dinger that absolutely needed to go back usually with a BIG note pointing out why I returned and more, why the item needs to go into the trash can and NOT be sent to another shopper. I return the item because someone (at least one or two others) hav also had the item(s) and never should have been sent the item in the 2nd place.

I still believe in as is items. Many have been brand new with uncrumpled tissue paper very much intact, neatly folded, clean, no odors, no rips, buttons intact and all there, zippers working - oh and if two pieces they actually match. Yes, ages ago I actually was sent not only not the size I ordered but the two pieces were not the two pieces that comprised the two pieces of the outfit. Not only did they not match, they were two different sizes.

I've had much success with As Is products over the years - purses, shoes, clothing - all in superb condition.

I have also purchased “as is” clothing, pjs, jewelry, and home items. Everything was fine.
