Have you had luck with ”as is “ ?

I have always been tempted especially if it's an item I missed out on and do want and it pops up "as is ". But hesitant that the item is a return and damaged then will have to go ahead and return .

 No , because of shipping or unable to return if damaged or defective

@skatting44  Oh so if damaged it can't be returned then?  Yeah I don't like those odds.

@Kitty Galore Yes! I bought some Valerie Parr Hill items using "As Is." I also have purchased some Bethlehem Lights and Temp-tations. All have been fine. You can return the item as long as it doesn't state the item can't be returned.

@PA Mom-mom  well that makes me feel better about it .  I will make sure to read the return policy on as is  before buying.  Thanks 😊

I buy a lot of "as is" never had a problem.  I think most are returns and they do let you return unless it's stated -- I check before ordering.

 

I've gotten lots of Valerie Parr Hill pieces

 I have purchased at least 10 clothing items over the past few years and have never had a problem.  Only 1 item did not fit and I returned it.  Great savings!!

I ordered some " as is" bedding for a great price.

 

It was perfect, not used, still in the original packaging too.

 

I think maybe it was just an over stock item.

 

 I ordered shoes once. They arrived in the original shoe box with unwrinkled tissue paper and plastic stays in the toe.  They were unworn, not tried on and not damaged.

 

I would not hesitate to buy as is items.  It seems some posters got as is items when they were expecting new items occasionally.  Go figure.

Re: Have you had luck with ”as is “ ?

@Kitty Galore  I love "as is." This year I scored 2 Anybody split back tanks and a sleeveless jumpsuit, a Kim Gravel French terry top, a Joan Rivers long sleeve tee, and 2 pieces from the Idina Menzel line. All were perfect. Years ago I received a LOGO long cardigan than had a place where it  was starting to unravel. I returned it the same as anything else that is defective.

 

The blowout clearance items of course cannot be returned unless they are defective. But "as is" isn't the same as blowout clearance so you should be fine.

@Kitty Galore @skatting44 - That isn't correct.  If the item is damaged or defective, you can still return it.  You're not expected to accept that.

 

To answer the original question:  I've ordered many things from "As Is" over the years and had very good luck.  Lots of bargains.
