I've ordered a number of items from Overstock and have been delighted with the price, quality, and cost and speed of shipping. It's always catch as catch can -- it's not a store that continuously stocks the same items, as it depends on what's available to them at low prices. I try to check Overstock.com for items I plan to buy before I buy them elsewhere -- if they have them in stock, the price will usually be lowest. I am especially happy with a piece of furniture -- a glass doored wooden cabinet -- I bought a couple of years ago. I also like to order books from them when available. Their jewellery prices are wonderful and the quality is fine; lately it seems the prices on jewellery have been higher, so I haven't bought any for a while, but I have some wonderful black pearls which probably wound up on Overstock because the clasps are so tiny that it is impossible to open and close them on oneself (and even with someone else working them, it's dicey!); small problem -- a new clasp and pearl stringing silk fixes it.

I am casual internet shopper. Overstock has a good rating, but there were several recent poor reviews, about service, bait & switch, taking orders when out of stock, etc. After reading many of these poor reviews I felt they were written by frustrated last minute xmas shoppers. But I went with Overstock's excellent overall rating. I placed an expensive order. The price was to good to be true. I found the ordering process to be very user friendly. I got a call from Overstock for a security check, and the customer rep was very courteous. I followed my order closely through Overstock's order status software. I got a bit nervous that the $2.95 ground shipping was taking too long. But the Overstock cust. rep. was very nice and helped me overcome my fears. My purchase arrived on time, and in perfect condition. I am very satisfied with Overstock.com and will buy from them again. I am writing this review to offset some of the poor reviews that I read.

I've made multiple purchases on overstock and as with my last purchase of a down comforter, they provided great products at great prices. Shipping can take a week, but every product was as described. You can sometimes find lower prices (by a very small amount), but I've spent hours looking or having to bid (and then lose) on ebay. Overstock is a great way to get a good deal fast. Plus the shipping costs is already factored into the price (which is why they only charge 2.95 for all products.) I've had to return an item I didn't want and have had to pay for the return shipping (plus a $5 restocking fee). If the item is broken, there's no fee. So just make sure you want it before you buy it. Overall, a great website with lots of great deals. Can't go wrong for finding birthday or xmas presents (they have some great watches - for cheap). Hope this helps. Full Review
