The Big "O"
October 12th 2006 22:21
Overstock.com is one of those companies that gets no respect. Most people know a little bit about Amazon and Ebay, but not Overstock.com. It’s one of the quiet giants that relatively few people have heard of and even fewer know anything about.
Overstock.com is a clearance merchandiser. Merchants sell excess (i.e. Overstocked) items to Overstock, who offers the items to the public at discounted rates, often well below retail. Overstock.com has two features of particular interest to bargain hunter. The first is Overstock’s very generous shipping policy. Your shipping costs is capped at $2.95, no matter how many items you order (or if you’re One Tape, CD or Movie, it’s only $1.40.) Often times when I buy something off of Amazon, I go to checkout and I’m surprised and how much the price jumped. That doesn’t happen at Overstock. Last Christmas, I bought eight presents off the site and I paid $2.95 for shipping. Very nice.
The second thing about Overstock is their best price guarantee. If five days after making a purchase from Overstock, you find the exact item somewhere else at a lower cost (including shipping, taxes ,etc.) from an established online merchant (auctions and sites selling used items don’t count,) they’ll give you store credit for the difference.
What that should tell you is that Overstock truly believes they can give you the best price available. Overstock is a giant site that sells nearly everything imaginable at very reasonable prices. Any time I’m looking for an item, I stop at Overstock to see what they have to offer. It is one of the best tools in my bargain tool kit and I hope you’ll make it one of yours. Click on this link and you'll be able to take advantage of the monthly special which for this month is 10% off any order.
