“Products are subpar and pricing is incomprehensible”

Sharon R.
6/8/23

Product I received had missing parts. We tried to buy some from hardware but two major crossbars are missing. Now they say we don't have the parts, take the whole thing apart, find a box and pay the postage to send it back to us. If it is this bad, and you can't fix it then send a new one. You get various coupons, many which are expired. How is it fair to charge different people different amounts for the same product. My other purchase which was a vacuum was of poor quality and seemed used. What does Overstock mean anyway. I think it means over the hill, over priced, over hyped but definitely not over any expectations. Extremely disappointed and will never use this website or company for purchases. I will let my consumer friends know why I have been so frustrated and outraged by the service that seems nice but accomplishes absolutely nothing. How embarrassing.

The prices might seem fair and the products may photograph well BUT when you receive your product in my case two nesting tables without the package of screws to put it together and a dent/ paint missing from the corners... you'll be full of regret! I also ordered a TV media center and I KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE! I'm not a strong woman so taking the big box of two nesting tables to UPS for a return isn't going to be easy but if they screw up my TV/Media Center Order I'll be in an even worse predicament! How I wish I'd never gone on their site... EVER!

Overstock has some nerve charging exorbitant amounts for returns. They were going to charge me over $40 for a return on a rug that cost $119. I will never recommend them or buy from them again

Tip for consumers:
DON'T BUY FROM OVERSTOCK. Lousy returns.

Round washable rugs. YOUR RETURN POLICY STINKS. I'LL NEVER BUY FROM YOU EVER AGAIN!!

Their products are complete crap. A waste of money. The customer service representatives are of no help whatsoever and very misleading. I will never buy from them again, ever.

Overstock.com is a site that I visit almost every day. It could be addictive:-).

While Amazon.com has a lot more choices, Overstock.com offers better deals, mist of the time.

Rating 0! I placed an order on the 12/21 and paid for express delivery for 12/24 arrival. When the package didn't arrive by Christmas Eve, I called and was told the shipping company had a 3 day order fulfillment policy and I would have the order by the 29th. It was a Christmas gift but I also needed a birthday gift so I accepted the delay, with a refund of the express shipping. I called to check on the 28th and was told it was in route by no later than the 30th. I received an email on the 30th. They never had the item. It was never shipped and the employees lied about all the shipping information. No gift for Christmas or the birthday! I did receive a refund, but with all the lies I'm stuck trying to find a replacement at the last minute. I will never order from them again!

They sold me a dining room set that was not in stock. They took my money for a month. I actually ordered two extra chairs to go with our dining room set. I called them last night to ask why it wasn't shipped yesterday. They told me they canceled the order because it wasn't in stock. I sold my dining room set and hutch in preparation for the new dining room set! No email no warning nothing! Then I was told they wouldn't return my chairs because I had assembled them! NOT reliable! You lost my business!

I wrote a review on Overstock's website but they have chosen not to post it and have left it in pending status for weeks (I assume to avoid the negative review). Here is what you should read before you buy any beauty products--or any products--from Overstock.com:

Not happy w/Overstock's Customer Service AT ALL. I'd rather spend the extra cash at *** At least I get my product. Plus, if there is ever an issue with delivery *** always provides excellent customer support. In the past, when a product has not arrived or has come damaged, etc. they've replaced the item immediately and even give me a discount or the product for free, etc. I try to be a fair customer but my package is 5 days late, which means I can't take it on my trip (evidently it's lost in the mail) now it is going to take a total of 12 additional days to get the product after a trace, reorder, returns, etc... and not a single discount or anything was offered... by either of my two different customer service reps. Never ordering from this site again.

Update: I received the replacement product that was sent to me and the consistency is different than the sample that was given to me by the doctor's office. Buyer beware!

I was not impressed at all with overstock.com. They were way overpriced to be a discount site. I can find the same products much cheaper at walmart.com online.

If I could rate 0 I would. This company steals the customers money! I had ordered quilt set (I assumed set meant more than 3 items, my own fault on that part). So I returned the item on my own at USPS 10 dollars vs 32 for their label. A month and a half goes by (figured it takes time to process a return). When I had given them a call to see how the process was going they told me I had to have the tracking number in order to process the return to my bank account (No where in the return process does it say you need to update a tracking number.) Unfortunately after 30 days USPS can not provide a printed tracking number. When I called back and told them this they told me there was nothing they could do without the tracking number even though their product was returned to their warehouse. The two women I had spoken to on the phone were nice and tried to help as much as they could but the companies overall "Return procedures" is BS. I ended up disputing the original charge with my bank. Dont let them steal your money!

Tip for consumers:
They do not explain the product in full on their website

Bought two 250 chairs.
Cheap plywood bottoms. The legs snapped off both chairs. No way to repair them. Too big to try and return. Very disappointed. Next time I will not buy from them.

Don't buy anything there
Customer service lies and lies
They will keep you going until the return period has expired
Then they tell you that a withdrawal is no longer possible
So heed the WARNING! Or pay for nothing

Didn't end up ordering ANY of the craft items on my "wish list" from Overstock. I surfed the net and nearby craft stores and found that Overstock actually had the highest prices on EVERY ITEM - sometimes as much as 50% higher! Why does anyone shop here?

This website may have cheaper prices but I wouldn't recommend buying anything from here unless you are willing to wait a MONTH to get it. They have the slowest shipping I have ever seen and you are not able to track it. Completely inconveniant. I will NOT ever buy anything from this website again.

Beware of Overstock. I will never make another purchase from them and I'm closing my account. I bought a Gucci wallet and watch from them and returned items immediately but Overstock sent a bill before they received the items which I didn't pay because items were no longer in my possession. They assessed a late fee. Say what? When I called to complain they claimed it was reversed but there was still a balance of $37. After speaking with three customer agents nobody knew what the the $37 was for which I still refused to pay. So I received a call from a collection agency I presume, requesting payment and I declined to pay because no one could tell me what the $37 was for. Well come to find out it's a restocking fee for the wallet. I've never seen that small detail on their website. How much does it take to put a wallet back? So because I didn't pay $37 they've added another late fee. You would think such a large company would just waive the restocking fee but they would rather continue to harass and ruin my credit. I'm still disputing at this point.

Overstock.com title is so misleading and they are so way over priced on everything,, you'd have to be stupid to buy online from them! You can buy cheaper locally in your neighborhood store!

Their website is confusing and unclear, but it seems like they have good deals. I never bought from them to be honest because I don't know if I should trust them or not.

I really don't understand how overstock is in business There are no customer service No communication within overstock from one Department to the other and from customer service to the warehouse Every single representative gives you the wrong information After 4 days Of ordering 4 days later they let you know that it the item is out of stock What a weird company and weird people run the company Would not recommend you To deal with overstock even though they might be cheaper On certain items Save yourself the aggravation It doesn't paid

Recently I've redecorated my house. I've ordered several items from Overstock. Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good: most of the items I've received were of good quality. What I expected based on the listing and some even better in person. They have great customer service. I've had items come damaged and they were quick to replace them or refund them at no cost to me. I also compare prices for the same products against other sites and Overstock is usually cheaper. The bad: since products are often sold by third parties, the packing is all over the place. I've had items packed so well I could barely get into them and items packed so poorly it was obvious it was heavily damaged in shipping partly due to poor packaging. The ugly: I recently ordered an accent chair listed as "full grain leather" with a photo of a chair with beautiful distressed leather. What I got was made of a material nothing like the photo. It was most definitely not full grain leather or leather at all for that matter. The material was poor quality compared to the advertised photo and not distressed. I wrote Overstock to address the issue and am waiting to hear back (I just wrote them a few hours ago). Because there are third parties, unfortunately not all of them can be trusted. I have no doubt Overstock would except a return if I chose to return it, so I still think they are great to work with... just a few shady third parties on the site.

All I have to say is, I got THE BEST Price from this site and I received my package on time. It was in mint condition and I love my new Breville espresso machine. I question if the other comments were bought and paid for by other websites.
