Anyone order from Collections Etc?

I found this site recently and saw a couple of cute things.  Just wondering if anyone has ever ordered from there and your experiences.

 

TIA.

I've ordered from them several times.  They have some cute, unique items, I haven't been disappointed.  My son is a hunter and his bathroom has all camoflauge decor, so I gave him the shotgun toilet plunger for a gag gift at Christmas, he loved it and was a big hit.

I just discovered it also, and tried to order one item, but it wouldn't go into the cart so I called and was told it is on backorder and would be in last week, but still am unable to cart it.

Yes, I have ordered a few times. (when I can get free shipping and items on sale). I recently received one of the Fall/Harvest wreaths (love) and a Halloween spinner. Fast shipping, items packaged well.

Re: Anyone order from Collections Etc?

I've ordered from them too and most of the things I've gotten are very unique and have become some of my favorite things-Christmas, windchimes, a winter top.

 

You can read reviews from their online site which are very useful. The "practical" things for around the house that are sold on tv and other places don't always get good reviews, so its good to read those before ordering.

 

Their customer service is very  good as well.

You will be amazed when you see so many things here that are sold for example on QVC that are very similar for at least 2/3 less and just as good quality.I guess its "what the market will bear." I saw the resin reindeer sold last year with Valerie on Collections for $14.99 (for both!)

Re: Anyone order from Collections Etc?

I have ordered a lot through the years from Collections.  I started with seasonal plate sets when everything was $14.99 unless it was on sale.  A lot of the plate sets I got for $9.99. 

 

One thing that I would stress is be sure to read the size of the item.  A lot of their products are shown so much larger  than they are but they do give the size information.  I've heard people complain about that but they just didn't read the description.

 

I haven't ordered in the past few years but they stood behind their products when I ordered from them.  I need to go back and look again.  I used to get their catalogs regularly but just occasionally now. 

 

Now see what you guys have done, made me go check another company that I had put in the back of my mind.  lol

@lucymo  I wonder why I can't add items to the cart.  I just tried another item as a test which states that it is in stock, and nothing happens when I mouse cart.

I have ordered from them for years.  I found the garden items to be better than I expected for what I was paying. The S&H was reasonable and items were packaged nicely. I never received any thing that was damaged, defective or looked like a return. I hope you have the same good luck that I did.
