Overstock.com....?

Question

Is overstock.com a good website to buy things from. I'm looking at buying a bed frame set from there but I don't want it to be junk that will fall apart after like a year or so. Anyone hear anything bad or good about them?

Answer 1

Hi Nate,

Overstock has many products, by many vendors and manufacturers. It's not so much Overstock that you need to be concerned with, as they are just the seller. It is best to research the manufacturer or brand name of the bed frame you are interested in buying. Does this company have a good reputation for quality products or not. Always ask questions before purchasing an item on line, as many companies do not reimburse return shipping charges or initial shipping charges. If you can't get your questions answered through Overstock, then try to find another company selling the same product, that may offer more information about this item. If that doesn't work, try to locate the manufacturer or brand name on line to find out more about them and the quality of products that they offer. If you just take a few minutes of your time to research the brand of the bedding, it will tell you a lot. I hope you find this helpful and wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

PSF Commodities

I've used this site many times (and shop the site at least every week!).  Always had very good results.  I am very careful to READ the product info and rely heavily on reviews.

Lots of equipment is refurbished, which is clearly stated. . . . . .but you can't believe how many people will complain that they didn't know they weren't getting brand new.

But with furniture it will be new.  Just trust the reviewers as a rule.  (and the shipping is sure priced right!!)
