Overstock's reputation is significantly marred by customer dissatisfaction, particularly regarding its customer service and return policies. Many customers report frustrations with delayed deliveries, inadequate support, and challenges in processing returns or exchanges. Issues with product quality, such as receiving damaged or misrepresented items, further exacerbate negative sentiments. Conversely, some customers appreciate the variety of products and find value in the selection offered. However, the prevalent concerns about service inefficiencies and lack of accountability overshadow these positives, leading to a general sentiment of caution among potential buyers.

Love to buy products from them, but little pricey!
I have found many items there to be a good bargain some others a price much higher that the usual places, and teh refurbished electronics I certainly don't recommend them. Still they have good return policies and shipping prices.
I ordered a ring for my Daughter and it had a flaw in the stone, they said no problem. They sent me another ring got it two days later. Told me to keep the first ring at no charge. They didn't charge for the second day delivery.
Bought 2 tiffany lamps from them, one was fine the other was damaged. Called customer service, they were helpful said they were shipping replacement part. I was happy, I had bought new furniture and the lamps were for my end tables. Told Customer service (I will refer to them as CS) I was having friends come over end of the week as I was leaving the company for a year, I would be happy if it was here before company as I have talked about it to all of them and they are eager to see it. CS member says she will see that it is shipped quickly. I receive notification 3 days later that its delivered. Come home look everywhere for it, ask neighbor if they saw a package or it was delivered to wrong address... no one saw anything. Called CS they look into matter, find out it was delivered in MA and I live in PA. I get a bunch of I'm sorry what can I do to make this up to you... I say I want my lamp I am leaving in 5 days wont be back till next yr. Once again all promises made tracking id given 4 days pass and item has been marked for pick up waiting at warehouse for ups to pick up. I call as I am leaving the next morning. Again all the apologies and promises they will ship it asap and I tell CS I am leaving the country, its going to sit outside till summer 2016. They immediately give refund and say contact us when you get back. I tell them what guarantee the item will be in stock? Then I am left with one lamp and 2 end tables. I may as well throw the other one in the garbage or gift it to someone which is an expensive gift off course. CS keeps saying what do you want us to do we gave you a refund for one lamp. Since I am out of the country I told them to send replacement to in-laws house they will keep it for me till I return. 4 days have gone by, package is still in warehouse. Christmas will come sooner than the part for the lamp. CS is well trained with standard phrases to deescalate the situation, but I don't trust overstock. If you have a deadline to buy an item do not go with them. There is firstly no guarantee you will get an item in good condition, or on time.
I have only ever bought sheets and Down Comforters but I have never been disappointed! Products always as described and top quality! I will ORDER from them AGAIN!
I have got items shipped quick and they have a variety and good prices.
I ordered a sewing machine. I had a mess up with PayPal and it was delayed, but Overstock honored the sale price from when I bought it even though by the time my PayPal problem was solved it had gone back to normal price. It took a while to get here, but it was a good deal. I will use again.
I purchased a sofa mattress through Wal-Mart online. Overstock was the third party vender. The mattress that came to the house had no real labels to indicate what it was. It was to be 5 inch of memory foam. It was not memory foam at all. It was 4 inches not 5 inches. So I called overstock. The person on the phone was fine but I became more mad as he asked questions about the mattress. The mattress came sealed in a semi-clear plastic - I never opened it. The only generic tag indicated it was a product of Mexico. This tag was not new. It was worn and faded and wrinkly. I am not sure where the mattress came from but it could not have been new. So I could not take it back to Wal-Mart directly as it was a third party vendor - thanks Wal-Mart for making it real clear on your website (sarcastic). So to return it I have to get a box package it back up and take it to UPS. Overstock WOULD NOT do anything else for the mess up - more like switcharoo.
I'm using this service for a long time and always got very good results.
Many discounted items, most great, had bad luck with electronics!
This company does not reply when you call them, I would never buy anything from them again, they R just the worst.
I had one of Chanel's iconic books on my wishlist forever. I kept shopping it and even tried checking it out at the library to see if it was something I would really want... only to discover AND INFORM THE LIBRARY, that their copy had been stolen. Then something came up at work that really made me "NEED" it so I went cyber shopping again for it and stumbled onto one of those sites that lists products at various prices and LO & BEHOLD, there it was at Overstock for $28.00 WAY less than the $75.00 price I kept finding it for. Needless to say, I ordered it immediately and it showed up within the promised delivery time. I have since added Overstock to my places to shop! THANK YOU OVERSTOCK! Who knew?
Haven't a lot of experience there, but what I have had was trouble-free
I am an online shopper that almost hates going to the malls. I buy nearly everything that can be bought from on line retailers. Have been buying from Overstock for years. They are great for outer wears. Fantastic price and high quality products for coats, sweater and jackets. Pretty good selection for comforters, bead spreads etc. too. Not too good for dresses and certainly no no for jeans and pants.
It was very cheap, but had a regal look to it. Luckily this site has true reviews so you know what to expect. The package arrived before christmas so I could give my dad a fancy fountain to replace his spooky broken one in the backyard.
I've never had a problem. Customer service has always been right there to help if need be. I've ordered a lot from this company and have always been satisfied.
Love overstock, but price wise they just can't compare to some other websites. Returns, shipping is great, though.
I ordered a large, heavy file cabinet from Overstock. The cabinet I received was smashed. It took a good bit of work to get them to try to get them to pick it up which never happened. They had me wait at my house for 1/2 day for a phantom company that never came to pick up the cabinet. Then they (manager Kandi, I also talked to manager Chase) suggested that I invite some friends over to carry it down my stairs or that I get a dolly and drag the very heavy cabinet down my stairs myself. I explained that I'm a senior and the cabinet was very heavy but they didn't care. I called at least 8 times and they made excuses, dragged their feet and worse, told me they were "helping" me by describing ways I could develop a hernia and handle their problem for them. After 6 weeks, I was finally able to take care of their problem myself. Horrible customer service. I've read similar situations online. Avoid Overstock.
Overstock Incident Number **************
These product are not refurbished but abused and used then sold as they were new
Answer: Hey, I would be very careful. I have transacted with Overstock three times and I don't believe there is as much security in terms of guarantee as with Amazon. And, if you buy items fulfilled by Amazon (meaning the product ships from Amazon's warehouse) you are even more guaranteed. For example, I bought some dinner napkins from an Amazon seller, fulfilled by Amazon. They were not what they were supposed to be and Amazon issued me a credit immediately and scheduled UPS to pick up my item to return. I'm very confident that with Amazon you will get quality service and if the product is not as described or substandard you will be in better hands especially with Amazon fulfilled items. Overstock is just not up to par and I wouldn't purchase something like a medicated cream from Overstock until they get it together.
Answer: I used a credit card on Overstock when purchasing my bed. It was years ago, I still sleep on it. I had no problems using my credit card on Overstock
Answer: They send it back to Overstock, call or Email them for a refund
