Overstock.com Review Summary

Internet shopping is a popular way to obtain goods and services and one internet site that has produced many happy customers is Overstock.com. With Overstock.com, the online shopper is treated to a large selection of merchandise categories, good overall value, and low shipping charges. Annabanna says, "I have enjoyed shopping there and have found some great deals ... and even some luxuries" Even those who have not been as fortunate to find bargains agree that the low shipping charge makes Overstock.com worthwhile. “The Prices aren’t the Lowest but Shipping Cost is Great” proclaims one reviewer who is tolerant of the prices since the goods come with low shipping. Sale items can sell out quickly, but the overall positive experience makes Overstock.com a popular Online Shopping Site with the majority of internet shoppers.

I started shopping from Overstock.com a few years ago, and I've been extremely satisfied. For those of you not familiar with this online retailer, here's the skinny: Overstock.com sells all sorts of stuff - clothing, housewares, electronics, sporting goods, books...you name it. As their name says, they...

I have mixed feeling and experiences with Overstock.com. One the one hand making purchases at Overstock.com through My Points is always worthwhile since they offer 10 point per dollar spent, and there is always a shipping special under way.  Case in point: I recently purchase a new occasional table...

After finishing my review for Contempo Kitchen Towels, I realized that I had never reviewed Overstock.com which is where I bought the towels.  How could I have slipped up like that?!!!

Of course, everyone has their own frame of reference and experience to draw on and it may be that some people have been disappointed by the "O" but I have enjoyed shopping there and have found some great deals ... and even some luxuries.  If it weren't for Overstock, I probably would have never been able to buy sets of genuine black pearls for myself and a friend's daughter.  I've bought sheets, pillowcases and...

Shopping on-line has become one of my favorite past times in the last several years and during that time, I've experienced both the good and the bad of on- line shopping. One of the fairly decent experiences has been the web site Overstock.com, an on- line store with a wide variety of merchandise just waiting to be purchased.

Web Site Commentary:

Overstock.com is a nice, easy to use web service that sells dozens of different goods and often offers bargain prices on popular merchandise. I make on- line purchases all the time, and this is one of the places I make sure to check, to see if the price...

I have a large extended family and a great bunch of friends.  We are always hanging out together which means that each year I want to buy them all Christmas presents.  Like everyone else, we are on a budget when it comes to holiday shopping so I look for gifts that will mean something and be appreciated while also being easy on my wallet.  Overstock.com is a web site that rely heavily on each Christmas season.

You can buy almost anything on Overstock.com: clothing, furniture, jewelry, movies, music, books, electronics, home and garden accessories, etc.  Personally, I've gotten books, CDs, and...

I have purchased several items from Overstock.com. I have never had one complaint about one item that I have purchased. I have purchased items from clothing to electronics. Its a great place to shop. All the prices are cheaper then you can find in the store and the shipping cost is very reasonable! I will continue to do business with them on a regular basis. They have a lot of different items to offer and I can always find something that I am looking for!

Overstock doesnt have inexpensive things, I have bought an electronic item from them, and the mp3player broke within the first week. I bought it for my 16 yr old....I have tried to watch for bargain with them, but I just can't seem to find anything worth while...everyone on line raves about os but, i just don't think I'll be giving them any buisness, anytime in the near future....I don't recomend them at all.

I love to shop online, but so many times I find great deals but then end up spending a lot on shipping.  Well Overstock.com is great because not only do they have bargain prices, but shipping was just a flat rate of $2.95 no matter how much I ordered.  They have discounted wares in all types of categories, from books to movies to clothes, to appliances.  I ordered a lot of bakeware and cookbooks and found bargain prices.  The problem with their supply is that it is limited so once the good deals are snatched, they are gone.  I ordered and processing was easy and my shipment was shipped that... review »

Overstock.com's best offer is the low shipping!!  They offer a massive variety of products.  I have found that their prices are not always the lowest though.  Twice I've ordered things and when I received them, they were not as they were described on their site.  I did get a prompt refund when I returned them. 

My boyfriend bought me an absolute gorgeous ring this Christmas from them.  I've never had so many compliments (from friends and strangers) on a piece of jewelry.

As with shopping on any website, be careful and really read the reviews because they are helpful.  Don't be afraid (or...

Overstock is great for several reasons: the quality of the items is top notch and the prices are stellar. To ship, you pay $2.95 and the shipping is fast. Whenever I feel like I immediately need ____________ (pasta machine, knife set, etc), I go to overstock. The quality of those items is just what I'm looking for and at the right price. I love quality for an affordable price tag...so much!

Unfortunately, some of the items are not exactly cheap. Sure, if I was in the market for buying Prada, etc I'd probably be thrilled with discount designer things. But I'm not. I just want to get something nice...

I checked out this site due to being a MyPoints subscriber. I thought with the point value, it would really rack up the points. After shopping around other places, I found that the items I wanted were much more expensive here($10.00 more for a video game!) Since they offer a "Best Price" guarantee, I followed their instructions on the two items I wanted, and waited for their response. When I finally heard from them, they stated although they would recognize the sites they were not able to comp them due to the fact I had not bought from the their site first.

With being the holiday's, every penny...

While searching for a new memory card for my Sony camera, I came across overstock.com. I looked into a couple of the box stores and did some price comparison. Overstock was less expensive and the shipping was $2.95. The check-out process is quite easy and shipping was fairly quick. I purchased the memory card right around the holiday season so it did take a bit longer than i would have liked. If you're looking for a certain item online, try Overstock.com and compare prices. You might be surprised.

Overstock.com offers a wide range of products and I really like the categories.  Also, the search engine is fantastic!  You can search by price, category, sizes, etc.  I will admit that some of the prices aren't the best BUT where can you get everyday shipping of less than $3.00 on ANY item without a specific purchase total????  Most sites may give you free shipping on certain items or on the purchase but that's the one great thing about Overstock.com -  It's always this way.  Shipping and handling is a make-it or break-it deal with me.  I have bought a few things from this site and I've...

   I have shopped at Overstock.com a couple of times and my impression of this store is great.  I love to shop online and have found some of the best deals over the internet.  I was first drawn in to Overstock.com because I am a member of Mypoints.com and realized that I could earn points for my purchases there.  Intrigued, I had to check out the site.  I was also impressed when I found out that shipping was $2.95 per item, no matter what you ordered.

     Overstock.com is a website that offers items that they have in bulk quantity that they want to get rid of at a lower price.  It's...

Overstock.com is a great place to shop for bargains.  I have been a repeat customer for years...From living room furniture, to shower curtains and bedding, the quality of their products are usually great.  In the four years of purchasing from their store, it wasn't until this past Christmas that I ran in to a problem with their company.  I bought my nephew a iPOD for a gift.  It came defected.  I phoned  and they were very accommodating and sent my nephew a RO # with a pre paid return box. The second IPOD came and low and behold that one was broke to.  Trying to get the second one replaced...
