“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.

Just like anything you buy online or at a physical store, do your research first. Cheap furniture is cheap furniture whether you buy it at Walmart or at Overstock.com.
I've found some great items at Overstock and had good results with customer service. I purchased bedroom furniture after reading reviews on other sites about the brand. I continue to enjoy the furniture 10 years later. The Worldstock items are unique. I've purchased some lovely costume jewelry, never had an issue.

I ordered a Monty County side Table it cost me $70.64, I won't pay $5.00 for the damn thing! Then you said I went over my credit limit so you charged me $50.00 I don't know how the hell that could be, I been making regular payments! It doesn't look anything like the picture! It doesn't say it was going to be rustic style, its all used with nicked up used wood! I'm so unhappy with this! On the box it says it's a plantstand also which never said when I ordered it! Its made so cheaply! It would cost me more to send the damn thing back then its worth! Because of this I don't believe I'll be ordering anything from your company again I am so very angry! I won't be recommending your company to anyone any time soon! What a RIP OFF!

Ordered a laptop. Arrived too late to use for the business trip for which I ordered it. Couldn't take it. Tried to set it up when I got home, but it was defective. Returned it with the guarantee I would get a 100% refund. Weeks later, after numerous emails, chat sessions, phone calls and complaints, I still have not received any refund. I'm filing a claim through paypal for the returned merchandise. Don't waste your time or money buying anything from this SHAM OPERATION!

Tip for consumers:
SHAM OPERATION. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

They do what they say they do and sell a lot of overstocked merchandise and you can often get that merchandise at 30-40% off. The "Great Deals" are usually on smaller items. We have gotten patio umbrellas from them for $35 that normally cost $100. Pretty fun and easy site to use.

Received a very poor quality, but expensive piece of furniture that was botched heavily with different colored stain. Made in Vietnam. It made me feel sad, because I realized that a child or a slave could have fabricated it hastily. I contacted Overstock with pictures, and they offered a pathetic 15.00 "store credit" or to resend another POS piece of furniture and to "schedule" a pickup time with UPS to get the other one. Really? Some compensation! Time off work for a UPS pickup, and I have to accept another one? Um, no thank you. My business goes elsewhere!

I have been buying from them during a year. There are some nice products on their website. But after I ordered a dinning chair I was disappointed. It came broken! It's a pity that they send such products to the regular customers.

We have an unresolved issue with Overstock regarding fees that they charged to our merchant account regarding shipping. We provided proof given to us last year in regards to the new charges and customer support doesn't want to validate without given further information. Then, stop to communicate with us. I am calling every day and no one is answering the phone during business hours. I reach to someone today and she tried to unsuccessfully connect me with someone to no avail. We left messages via email and phone and still, no one reaches out to us. I also complained through BBB and still they did not reply. Very frustrating. Very unprofessional. Chat, emails, phone lines, all dead. We are pausing account. No one is there to resolve your issues

After waiting about a month for an order i used their service website to find order.
After one hour on the phone all they could tell me is they could not find my order
And they will re-=order same with another one week delay. These people are the worst!

I ordered a product that was supposed to be here a few days ago. Haven't gotten it yet but I saw this morning that the same product had gone on sale for about $35.00 less than I had paid for it. They said they would not adjust pricing and I could not return it. Last purchase for me with this company.

I bought 2 plantronics headsets both were defective. I contacted the seller who emailed me RMA. I returned both the items but refunded my credit card for one item. I tried to contact them but no response. This company is a scam, mostly sells used/defective items. Beware before you buy anything from them.

Ordered a bed in January and paid for expedited shipping. Shipping scheduled in March with a 4 hour delivery window. They called 10min out, 30 min after their very large window. Had to turn around to receive the item and they waited 3 min and left. Rescheduled delivery with a 5 hour window… no call, no show at all. Called 2 days later to let me know they forgot to load my bed frame in the truck and now needed to find another company to deliver with no future delivery date set. Customer service agent can barely speak English and kept reading off a script. Frustrating. Avoid overstock

When I had just moved across the country, I had almost nothing, and certainly didn't have a bed. I had searched for weeks, but couldn't find anything within my budget that didn't look like dorm room furniture. Finally found a classy but well priced vintage, rustic bed frame AND a memory foam mattress for an incredible price on Overstock. Love it :)

Just DON"T order from Overstock! I ordered and paid for a mattress topper over 2 months ago. They claimed they told me in 10 days that the item was backordered... a LIE! I have been trying for 5-6 weeks to send this back as I'd ordered another one from a another company, could not WAIT! They first told me it would cost me $11.00 of my refund to pay the postage back to them, I told them I would not pay this. They are still jacking me around, telling me they'd sent label, which has never arrived.

I've had trouble with this company before, please don't order from them!

In past years I bought a few things from Overstock that were 'ok' quality. Some lamps and chairs for guest rooms that don't get used too often. Not bad. Adequate. But lately, I've had to return a couple things that were not worth the money. And worse yet, they weren't the same quality items as were pictured. Word of warning... there seems to be some "bait and switch" going on with the sellers on Overstock. They picture a higher quality item online but when you get it you realize that it's a much inferior item that is shipped to you than what is pictured. I experienced this while in Bali years ago. They show you a beautiful piece and then when you agree to buy it, they take it away and "wrap it"... but what they're doing is wrapping a less quality item that you don't realize until much too late. I think some of the sellers on Overstock are doing the same thing.

Well they send me an Xbox one I've wanted for over 2 years and my mom finally got it. From here and it connected to the controller that came with it but if you try to sync another one the Xbox won't even do anything! It's broken and I have to send it back and hopefully get a working one! Thanks a lot for making my Christmas with a broken Xbox! Means a lot!

I ordered a stroller from here for a family member and it was reasonably priced since it was on sale and many of the items featured on the site are discounted, but it's best to catch the deal when you see them so you can get them at a reduced price. I may order stuff from Overstock again in the near future because of how they have a vast array of products for your home. I had a pretty good experience with customer service they're very helpful and at least you can talk to a live person who's American and not some call center in India or Bangladesh where they employ foreigners because they're cheap labor and don't have to spend much to train them and pay them a lousy wage. It's a great site to go on if you want to find something nice to give to someone as a gift or fixing up the house.

We purchased a futon that has a left side and a right side. When we opened the boxes, each side was a different color. We contacted customer care and all we can do is ship it back or keep it. One box was cut open so packing it up would have been problematic. They offered to credit us $5 to purchase a new box. Really? I guess we're stuck with an ugly futon. We won't deal with a company that won't back up their products. I guess they don't need our business that badly.

Ordered an emergency food kit at $450. Five days later, received an email that it was not going to be sent out within the 2 guaranteed days. Eight days from order, I contacted customer service via chat to inquire on status. Told it would be shipped in 3 days. Three hours later, I received an email that it is out of stock and they are cancelling my order. But... they gave me $5 off my next order! SMH. What a sham!

Tip for consumers:
Go elsewhere! Stay away! Be afraid...be very afraid of their customer service!

I applied for an Overstock credit card based on a 24 month zero interest promotional offer. I opened the credit card account and purchased furniture using this promotion. However, my first statement included a 25% interest rate if I didn't pay the entire purchase amount in full. When I contacted both Overstock and the credit card company, they just said there is no promotion associated with my account and could not give me the financing which I was eligible for. I opened a credit card for no reason; I paid off the full balance and closed the account. I will never shop with Overstock again.

Had to try buying from Overstock once, but won't do it again.
First of all - my order wasn't even shipped until a few business days after our order was placed.
Spent over $200 for one King set of sheets and one Queen set of sheets.
Received 2 King Sets. Not going to argue with them about it - we'll use both sets on our King bed even though one isn't the right color for the room.
All I really wanted was for them to send what I ordered.

I ordered and received my 4 place setting dinnerware sets. When I opened the box one of the bowls was broken. Contacted customer service and sent picture of damaged goods. Overstock would not replace the bowl, leaving me with only 3 place settings. Overstock offered $10 as compensation. I told them to keep their $10. Bunch of clowns.
This was my first and LAST purchase from OVERSTOCK.
Highly recommend spending your money with another on line retailer.
BUYER BEWARE

Update: 1/30/19. Steve from Overstock contacted me and sent a replacement bowl. I am pleased with the company's response. I believe Overstock personnel saw this review I posted on Sitejabber and were persuaded to do the right thing. Big Thanks to both of these companies!

Literally one of the worst companies on planet earth. Not only do they take six weeks to deliver what they guaranteed would be there in two - when they finally show up, they fail to set up what they were paid extra to do. Then, instead of making it right and immediately sending someone out to set the stuff up, they refund your set up money, leaving you with giant, unmovable boxes in your living room. Will never do business with these apathetic, obtuse creeps again.

Tip for consumers:
Never use them.

Careful everyone! Watch out for Overstock's bait and switch! We purchased an item listed as a chair and ottoman, but when the order arrived, the delivery came short - it was missing the main item, the chair! So what did overstock do? They just changed the description on their website! So we are now stuck with the item that we don't need without the missing item. But Overstock won't make good on the order and send the missing item. We were going to purchase it at another site for only a few dollars more. Not they have no stock and were out of luck! So be careful, because Overstock's descriptions aren't accurate, they won't honor their word, and shopping there is a waste of time, money, energy, and very stressful! You can buy something, but wait for the surprise when you see what you actually get! Because there's a good chance it won't be what you ordered! And Overstock doesn't seem to care! Very bad service and unreliable!

This company sent my package to the wrong address (not attached to my account). They said it was attached to my Apple Pay payment. Customer service refused to help me because they said it was a third party vendor item. Sent me numerous emails asking if I could pick it up ( I live in Florida and the item is in Kentucky). Finally they are asking if the item arrived safely and they will pick it up from the old address but I will he charged $30 for shipping). I have repeatedly told them I don't know the new owner of the home! I will never use this site again! Crooks... horrible treatment of customers and not smart knowing we have many options!

Customer service is horrible. I returned a vanity light almost a year ago & have documents that show the return with a zero balance. It's the only purchase I made with their Comenity Bank credit card & should have a credit balance. I made a $50 payment to keep my account from being reported negatively during their investigation. My credit rating was over 750 before this, now it's fluctuating around 625. Overstock has been of no help & I've sent documentation to Comenity multiple times. It's damaging my credit score terribly. They're saying I owe almost $300 for a light that was returned that only cost about $150 originally. They're harassing me non-stop and it's super stressful. I fear I'm going to have to pay for a debt I did not incur, just to keep the situation from hurting me more. I've disputed it on all credit reports but have had no help.
Would not recommend Comenity or Overstock. They're both HORRIBLE.

Tip for consumers:
Would not buy anything you’re not 100% sure you want. Returns are a nightmare. Do NOT take the bait & get their Comenity Credit Card!!! Horrible!!! If you need to return & you use the credit card, it’s like an act of God To get the charge removed from the account. I’m being harassed for an item - the ONLY item - I purchased but returned. They have charged so many fees, what they’re saying is my balance is double the original cost of the item that was returned!! I’m so frustrated at Overstock!
