I have not shopped from Overstock but, after reading the reviews many of which had the same issues I cannot see a reason to bother with them. And where is the company representative to answer to the customers? Customers trusted you all enough to send their hard earned money for some decent merchandise. Not only does Overstock not contact them but, none of them are on here to defend themselves. That means they do not care. Find the brand elsewhere and shop elsewhere. Overstock is way over rated.

I have been shopping on overstock.Com for 15 years. I have found some great deals on there. Last year I bought myself and 2 daughters 1/2 carat black Diamond earrings and the back fell off 1 in just a couple of days but they shipped out a pair with a pouch to return the other earrings. That was very nice however since then both of the other 2 pair we lost the back on both after 6 months. We went to local jewelry and replaced the backs. I have bought a lot of 14 k chains from the site.

I have only ordered office supplies from Overstock. Every order has been perfect. The minimal shipping fees, the delivery and the excellent comparative price have combined to make me a very happy Overstock buyer.

(AND... I do not work for this company or know anyone there. At all. This is a legitimate review.)

Beware
September 26, 2016

Terrible customer service. Beware the return policy. You can not make heads or tails of it. They charge 50% OF PURCHASE price claiming that is the postage. Also if an item goes on "sale" and you miss the item cost by one hour they charge you at least 20% more. Stick to Amazon.

First coice
December 21, 2015

O.co is always my first choice for most on-line shopping. I am a Club O member so everything ships free (which is sometimes dangerous)! The prices are better than most and I have never had a problem with an item, shipping time or resolution of issues.The quality of the things that I have ordered is beautiful.

Choose Amazon
May 3, 2018

My order will take over three weeks to deliver even though I paid a $50 delivery fee! I bought because the Overstock.com price was lower than Amazon, but regretting my decision. When I contacted them to complain I was told that someone would respond to my concerns within 1 to 2 business days. Highly not recommended.

Overstock apparently has a back end process that changes the shipping address to some official address, but in the process they excluded my apartment number. Luckily they did include my building number so hopefully when UPS turns the package over to the office they will know who it is for. I called customer support and they stated that they don't have the ability to change the shipping address after the order has already been made. I may shop there again for cheap stuff like I did this time but I will never get anything of any real value there for fear of the item being lost.

Their selection is rather spotty. I've bought from them several times and have had to contact their customer service team on occasion and have always had the best experience with it. They generally seem very enthusiastic and caring. They stopped selling home media/entertainment for awhile and now one of their marketplace sellers has filled that gap, although that market place seller's selection is about as unpredictable as Overstock's selection of electronic devices.

Amazing customer service!
December 26, 2017

Recently I bought a huge coffee table from overstock. Once I assembled it I realized there was bunch of dried on glue in one corner. It was visible and really ugly. I called overstock to see what could be done. They offered many options. Replacing the piece where the glue was, or the whole coffee table or sending the table back for a full refund. They made it super easy to return the table. They even covered the shipping cost back. I've bought many things over the years via overstock and never had any issues, I'm happy to know that if I ever do need their help, that they actually will help.

Horrible Horrible Customer Service!

Two weeks had gone by since I placed my order trying to find out where my orders were. They had no idea! It took three phone calls to find someone who was willing to at least look for it and it shipped the next day but from 6 different warehouses. Now it is going to take another week for my orders to arrive one piece at a time!

If I could offer it 0 stars, I honestly would. Ordered a light from the site that was $200 cheaper than a competitors. It's been 5 weeks and there's been no light. I had called to follow up a few weeks after the original purchase- at that point asked if I should take a refund and go elsewhere as I needed this light installed before an event and there was no sign it had shipped. Was reassured they had the light and it was shipped out. Even got an email saying the label had been created. 2 more weeks go by- call again and am now told they can no longer fulfill the order. I've been on hold for 45 minutes and counting as they tell me there's nothing they can do. Best they'll offer is a refund for the original price. I now no longer have time to order it from another site. There's no willingness to come up with solutions. I'm honestly so frustrated with the time spent, lack of results, and the unwillingness of their staff to support.

Order never arrived, and always got the same answer " It will come tomorrow". Finally just cancel and got next day from another site. The worst customer service, don't know how they stay in business. Stay away.

Great shelving!
May 27, 2014

Great shelving! Easy to put together however EXTREME caution is needed when handling the shelves. There are notches cut into each corner of each shelf that fit into the metal "legs". I broke each piece off simply by picking up the shelves and trying to put into place. As always, Overstock customer service was wonderful and sent replacements within the week.

Would avoid and try sears or amazon instead.

I was interested and paid for a total of 3 times, payment cancelled on all 3 purchases due to out of stock reasons, very frustrating when you have a site of this magnitude.

I ordered some curtains from Overstock. When they arrived they did not look like the picture in that the color was way off. They showed a muted print and the actual print was a stark white on teal. Very garish. I feel I should not have had to pay $16 to return these curtains due to this. I will not be ordering anything from Overstock again because of: 1. Cannot Email Customer Service 2. Charged return shipping for something that was not my fault.

Costly returns
June 19, 2022

This is an average canvas but it did not match my room the way I thought it would. So, I decided to return it and keep looking. When I went through the process of requesting a return and printing the return label for $26.00, I learned it would cost me $26.00, the canvas cost $79.00. With the cost to return, it's almost not worth returning the item. I'm very disappointed. I was not totally disappointed in Overstock at that time. But, as I wrote a review, it was denied. So, you can't even write a review on your true experience. Now I won't purchase from them.

A Nightmare
September 15, 2019

If you are looking to have a soul-crushing, frustrating, and the worst online shopping experience of a lifetime, Overstock is the place for you. My husband and I bought chairs we were really excited about, having looked everywhere for the perfect chairs and found them in Overstock. We had to order these chairs three times because they were sent to the wrong address first, lost the second, and arrived broken on the third try. We were promised credit that we never received and although we acted politely to everyone we spoke to on the phone so as to alleviate some frustration, we were treated with annoyance as if it was our fault. I understand I'm writing this review solely based on the fact that I had a horrible, nightmarish experience, but if you are able to read this and still order from them, then you and Overstock really do belong to each other.

I recently purchased ~$10,000 in furnishings for my new home which included a $1,500 King mattress. Upon receiving the mattress, I lied down on it and realized that it was too tall for my platform and too soft for my liking. My request for a refund was rejected because Overstock.com policy states the following:

"You will only qualify for a full refund for damaged or defective mattresses, mattress sets, or foundations if you refuse the item(s) at the time of delivery. If damage/defects are found after delivery, please notify us immediately."

It is impossible to know that you will like furniture simply by viewing it on a website. Furniture is used in our living spaces and therefore, we can only know if it meets our needs if we "experience" it in our living space. Overstock.com fails to realize this important fact and therefore, I will never waste another dollar with them.

I ordered some patio chairs and then changed my mind. I cancelled the order while the status still said "processing". Overstock's return policy states that a full refund will be issued if the order has not been processed. They are now trying to charge a restocking fee of $111.00 because they say I refused delivery of the item. They were never delivered to me. This is completely untrue! I disputed the charge with my credit card and they are saying that overstock provided a tracking number showing that they were delivered and I refused the delivery. They had to have manufactured this because it is completely untrue. I will never order anything from Overstock again.

Beware of using the "no" interest for 12 mos - 18 mos. If you make multiple purchases and pay over an above the minimum due, they don't take your "overpayment" and apply it to the oldest no-interest transaction. They spread it across all of your transactions so you THINK you are paying more per month to pay off the oldest transaction. Nope. I was hit with over $3k in interest for owing.50 on one transaction and $1.41 on another and.99 on a third. They don't apply and pay off because if it goes past the final due date, they collect interest on the past 12 - 18 months. Awful. Good luck Overstock with your "stock" value when everyone starts filing bankruptcy because you are raping them with your "finance" charges. Awful, shameful and disgusting practice.
