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.

It is not a bad site at all and is pretty reliable. You can find some good deals. Personally I think Amazon is superior to Overstock on customer service, low prices, and delivery time but this one is definitely worth considering and a good company to do business with.
I love my couch. Color, size, material, firmness, structure and throw pillows are terrific. It would be perfect if it was deeper, I am tall. The price was very good and with free shipping that was really fast, can't complain. The problem that I do have is that assembly was HORRIBLE... ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! The Sadastic people that made the assembly directions must exist solely to frustrate, anger and torture poor unsuspecting people like me. None of the parts were labeled, they fit together terribly and the brackets were not labelled as to which side was up, so I spent countless hours trying to put the stupid things things together. The instructions were very vague. I WILL NEVER BUY A PRODUCT THAT I HAVE TO ASSEMBLE FROM OVERSTOCK EVER AGAIN. Now that being said, I do love the couch and will purchase from them again as long as there is no assembly required. Oh yeah, the customer service reps are awesome and the hold time was short.
This shopping service is great for offering almost everything a man needs from shoes to accessories. Well considered and easy to search. One of my favorites
Talking about stuff, we ordered a Futon bed for my daughter during the Christmas holidays and they shipped it to us quickly with no hesitation. Great price, on time No problems
I have never used this web site before so I don't know anything about it.
Amazing customer service! I will definitely order from Overstock again and again!
I've never been more disappointed with a company ever. Long story short, I requested a price match on their OWN website. The product was listed at two different prices one Canadian and one American. That's fine. However, the difference was significant given the current currency rates. That being said, I contacted customer service who said that they would cover the difference once the order was placed. Got the invoice and it was the original price. I had spoken to two customer service representatives during the transaction and they both said there would be no problem (I kept a copy of the entire conversation and a copy of both the prices as proof.) Just spoke with customer service again for well over an hour to get it through to them. They refused to give me the difference in the cost of the product. I told them that they should honour what two of their own employees said they would do for me. In the end, the little guy gets burned again. All they kept saying was "sorry for the confusion". There was no confusion. Basically Overstock failed in their ability to follow through with what they said they were going to do. It's really a shame that they can get away with things like this. Is there no honour with companies anymore. Simply take the customers money and be done with them. Customer service merely pays lip service. If I could give them zeros across the board I would. I will ensure this gets posted everywhere I can possibly post it. Be wary of their lies.
Great site, cheap, got my stuff on time no issues :)
Several years ago Overstock was a great way to shop- they actually had good discounts. That is not the case anymore- I don't get excited over 7% discounts. I shop elsewhere.
The site is good, but they charge ridiculous shipping fees on electronic items. Maybe they have changed now, but I would not buy from them before checking Amazon.com or Newegg.com first.
Always ships fast and items are as described in listing. Seem to care about giving customer above average quality products.
I purchased a leather headboard. I'm a very comparitive shopper and was a bit nervous. The reviews seemed good so I placed the order. Well it was impossible to attach to the bed frame, one leg screw was bad and mashed the threads to attach to the base of the headboard witch was also drilled in crooked. Overstock asked me to review purchase for a free shipping- I did. They never posted the review and never came through with the free shipping. I waited several days and submitted the review - again- again they would not post the review. I was very respectful in the description btw. NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE REVIEWS ARE SO POSITIVE ON OVERSTOCK.COM.
A lot of the time the "buys" seem like factory rejects. Still fair to good but not pristine.
Bought some throws with some flaws. Bought earrings with bent posts due to poor shipping.
Overall, they treat me well and have decent prices
Great fast shipping for an affordable price for once! However, their awesome sales and redline deals are really only a buck or two off from the previous days sale price.
Fast, free shipping. Some of the best buys on furniture out there (especially with free shipping and no sales tax!)
Always easy to use and fun to just "window shop." I've never had any problems getting what I ordered or with payments.
I've visited often and wanted to find stuff, just never have. So, every time I think overstock, they don't have what I seek and I shop elsewhere.
Mix bag of nuts with overstock. When they are right the site is the best, when it goes wrong many phone calls are needed to get back on track. Moreover, they have dumb down their offerings- much less designer items than years past. If shopping with overstock you need to search the internet and local stores prior to ordering because overstock does not always have the best prices. Overstock got real popular real fast, and this is why they have some "get the order right" issues. Unlike the horrible ideeli-not Overstock really wants to do the right thing and tries to make corrections in your favor.
I've been ordering from Overstock for 5 years for my bed and breakfast, Taylor House in Boston, and have always been impressed with the timely delivery, low shipping costs and quality of the items. The one time I did have to return something the process was very easy since they provided the return labels as well. When I get an advertisement email from Overstock, I usually look at it since there is always something I need for the bed and breakfast from them and the prices are great!
IF you look around, there are some good deals, though stuff sells out fast and sometimes it's a little more expensive than it should be.
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
