If I could give them zero stars, I would. I bought a fountain a year ago that was guaranteed not to rust. It rusted a lot. I called and spoke to their customer service dept that claimed they would send another one out right away. I'm still waiting.

I recently bought a mattress from them and The description of this mattress is totally false. This is the squishiest mattress I have ever laid on and they classify it as "Firm". On top of that, Overstock Customer Service is a joke. They hide the fact that you have to pay to return and if you call, you will get conflicting stories about it's not returnable because it's a mattress and there are no supervisors for the "Mattress Dept" and then suddenly you will be on an eternal hold for a Supervisor and then the agent will claim the "Supervisor" will call you back within 10 mins because Emma's computer crashed and needs to be restarted. No call back. False Advertising, Worst Customer Service

I bought a product twice, after realizing that, I tried contact customer service multiple times right after, I explained my situation, they asked up 2 business days to resolve my cancel request. Next day I received an email saying they can do anything because the order was processed and now I gotta pay shipping costs back !

I ordered a ceiling fan and received it on July 3rd. When I tried to install it I realized it need special wiring Three wires instead of the normal two. I called an electrician and the soonest they could come out was August 5th. When they did arrive they told me it would be $400.00 to rewire the switch. I told them no I will return it and buy a fan that requires 2 wires. When I went to return it I realized I was 3 days over the return policy. I contacted customer service and after an hour explaining my situation they said there wasn’t anything they could do.

Overstock furniture and customer service is horrible. I bought a couple of things from them and they were both defected. The called me approximately 25 times and I could not understand what they were saying. Then they emailed be about 25+ times and the situation was never resolved. I have spoken with approximately 25 different people and they never listen.

STAY AWAY! Poor quality product and horrible return policy from Overstock. The pictures of the furniture in their site looks nothing like actual product. The product comes in damaged with manufacturer defects and their policy is deal with it. After learning of this poor quality, I cancelled a second product that had not been shipped and received confirmation of the cancellation. They still went ahead charged me and shipped the 2nd product days after the cancellation had been submitted and recognized by their website. By the way, their reviews are "selected"...if you submit a bad review on their site about a product you purchase they will not post it.

I've been with Overstock for quite a number of years. They were actually my first card after my divorce. Generous limit with regular increases over the years.

I love the items I've purchased. Shipping was a little slower than some other retailers, but it's never been over the inconvenience mark. It's never been a problem. Never had any complaints with customer service. They've always been extremely helpful and have gotten right on any issues.

Now here's my gripe.... with all of these great things about the items, customer service, and company as a whole, as soon as they merged with BB&B my Overstock card shows a zero credit limit and a note on my credit file that says "card canceled by credit grantor."I've never been late on ANY credit card or loan and this comment makes me look like someone who doesn't pay their bills. In fact my credit score took a serious nose dive from that comment and the amount of total available credit that just got reduced. There was also no info sent about if they are sending the Overstock rewards visa as a replacement or if there's a BB&B card being sent with the same credit limit as I had previously.

I'm under the impression they must not need/want peoples business after this merger as I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to.

I just went into the BB&B website to see what kind of products they carry.. pricing etc. I think they may be trying to pay for BB&B's bankruptcy because the prices are extremely high compared to Overstock's. In researching, I found the exact same bathroom vanity I was eyeing on BB&B thru Home Depot and the cost at HD was a little under a third of the price!
This customer is going with other retailers.

Dear Walmart.com and Overstock.com;

I have never experienced worse customer service than I received from you in April of this year. I ordered a rug set for my best friend, who was working on his home. On April 17, 2023, I placed the order in his name so he would be sure to receive it. The package arrived on April 21, 2023 and I realized right away that the color of the rug was not going to work in the room.

My friend took the rug back to his local Walmart only to be told that they do NOT take return orders from Walmart.com back as a service to their customers. My friend was informed that he would need to contact Walmart's customer service to contact the 3rd party vendor, who will then contact him. My best friend relayed this information to me since I placed the order and had the information. I emailed Walmart.com on April 24, 2023 at 2:46 pm asking to return the rugs and received my first notice that Overstock.com had been notified that I wanted to return my order.

On April 27, 2023 I placed my second request with Walmart.com, where I received the original response in return. Walmart.com did not take the time to send a second request, follow up, or find out why no one from Overstock.com had not taken the time to respond to my request. Out of frustration, I reached out again to Walmart.com on April 28, 2023. I received an updated response that stated Walmart .com had reached out to Overstock.com again on my behalf about this order.

By this time, I found the perfect rug for my best friend. The rug was installed and looked great in his newly renovated bathroom. I made a person-to-person plea with Overstock.com and called in to speak with a customer service agent. After ten minutes on hold, I was exhausted with the whole process.

On May 28, I received this email addressed to my best friend from Overstock.com

I have not received any additional correspondence from Walmart.com or Overstock.com. since the May email. As a result of this entire experience, I do Not recommend Walmart.com or Overstock.com to anyone anymore.

It's unfortunate that these two major companies have decided to utilize a delay tactic as a way to deal with returns. I trust the money you made from this and countless other returns that you refused to answer until it was past the 30 day return policy are worth the expense of being in business. This practice just cost you the loss of this customer and all the other customers that I would have recommended to your website.

Sincerely,
A lost customer

DO NOT BUY FROM OVERSTOCK.COM!!!! They completely got me on a bait and switch. I purchased.. I thought I purchased an outdoor folding chair but instead it was a tiny wood table. When looking at my order details it reads... "Folding Wooden Outdoor Chair..." in bold black print. today my order was delivered and when I opened the box, which seemed light, it was just a small side table. I went back to the order details and again, in bold it reads table but now, unbolded and beneath it reads, "Option: Small wood Table". I wish I could attach a screenshot of the listing because it is horrible what they are purposely doing to trick customers into paying for things they did not want. I called them to return the item and they now expect me to pay $25 dollars to return the item.
Never give them your money! We work to hard for them to unsult us in this way!

UPDATE: JUst saw that overstock.com rebranded to Bed, Bath & Beyond today. when you run your reputation to the ground I guess you have no choice but to chage your identity.

Took my money 3 weeks ago, item listed as in stock - still not shipped with no update for the last 2 weeks.

I ordered what I presumed to be a couch for $550 and went with over stock over wayfair because of price ! Worst mistake! The details were vague and I recieved a ottoman !!!!!! I tried to return it and said I cam only ship through them and not anyone else and price is $220 ! Almost half the cost ! I had no help at all from customer service and now I have a product I don't need and needless to say I would never purchase ever again.and seeing the reviews I wish I saw these earlier to gave saved this money for the couch I assumed I was buying ! Never again

Customer service is the worst. Manufacturer was no better. Damaged product and neither would help me

I bought an interior exterior rug for my deck six weeks ago. The colors completely faded I called and they told me there’s nothing they can do about it. It’s out of its warranty of return. What a joke this place is.. all garbage and no return on a 6 week old rug?????

Ordered some thing and it said it was delivered but it never was. I think it’s a scam.

We ordered a 10’ x 10’ - 5’ high with chain-link and door Dog Kennel With Roof to house two dogs needing outdoor secure arrangement.

What a nightmare with over a month of back and forth “conversation” as to when the delivery would be completed. We cancelled order due to lack of complete delivery.

We Will NEVER Order ANYTHING From OVERSTOCK AGAIN ! ! !

I bought a white rug only to have a light blue one delivered. The rug was 68.00 but when I returned it because of the color, I received only 9.00 for the return- without stating the price for shipping cost of return anywhere - they charged 59.00 for label.
This is yet another example of their unfair policy and practice. Do Not buy from this company. BTW - they wouldn't publish my review - it was simply these words, not abusive.

I would give 0 stars if I could. We ordered a low loft bed with storage on July 2. The delivery was due on July 7. We have received 3 out of 4 boxes, which were delivered over the last two weeks. We cannot get the final box, which is the main section of the bed. When you reach customer service, they read you a script that notes they “have escalated” and are “making it a high priority”. We went with Overstock over Wayfair to save $100. So not worth it. Wayfair ships on time. I had no idea how bad Overstock’s ratings were until I came to the site to write the review. It’s at 1.4 stars out of 5. What happened to Overstock? It was once a respected retailer. Now it’s a scam.

We ordered a dining room set and was told that it was damaged in transit, so they would not be delivering it to us. Later that day, the damaged item shows up at my house. I contact them, and they tell me that they are sending a replacement. The replacement comes and one box is part of the table and the other box is a filing cabinet. at this rate I just want a refund and they said that I have to send both items back before I can get my refund and they will schedule a pick up by UPS. They said UPS has three attempts to pick up the item and we will go from there. UPS comes and they said they only have a label for one box so they take one box and leave the other box with us. Three other attempts and UPS refuses to take the perfectly intact box back. I keep contacting customer service and all they keep doing is saying they will schedule another pick up and once the item is back then I will get my refund. Well it’s been over a month and UPS won’t take the box for some reason and they keep going in circles. This is absolutely ridiculous and I’m out $300 with NO product for their mistake.

In a world where customer experience and efficiency has become an expectation, Overstock clearly lacks against its competitors. I ordered two items and within a couple hours reached our to CS to cancel. I was told they can't cancel because FedEx already has the items. I then called FedEx and reviewed the order status and both told me they haven't been picked up and are just sitting in the warehouse. I then went back to Overstock and they never cancelled my orders nor gave me assurance for a free return even though nothing has been shipped, it's just sitting in the warehouse. This is absolutely terrible experience, mind you I spend 4.5 hours on phone calls between four different Overstock reps and FedEx. Never again will be shopping here.

I ordered a 5 piece outdoor set from Overstock. I received all the chairs, but the little coffee table never arrived. I contacted the company and they sent ANOTHER 5 piece set...so I could get the table and call them to send the chairs back for a refund=stupid waste of shipping but okay. The second set was shipped=incomplete AGAIN. This company is so incompetent I am shocked. So I about to raise hell again.

I am extremely disappointed in the 2 Christopher Knight Adirondack chairs and table bought at Overstock. There is no way to contact customer service with Overstock to discuss the problem. After putting the furniture together it was placed outside in the sitting area. Within 5 weeks the furniture was very discolored and worn looking. The colors were faded looking and inconsistent. I have pictures but there is no where to upload here. I am further upset as I recommended these products and 3 friends actually bought the chairs.
