Surplus Sams

Be very cautious when purchasing from this place!!! I purchased a «new» electric fireplace at Surplus Sams or should I say Surplus Scams. They told me the unit had been tested and was in perfect working condition, the box was sealed up and looked clean. I got the unit home and opened it up. Discovery number one the fire log was broken into two pieces and in unusable condition, discovery number two the power cord was cut into two pieces. I decided since I got a good deal I would repair the cord and use it anyway. After the repair the unit turned on and started making a loud knocking noise, which was a ruined motor in the device. I bring it back and Surplus Scams will not give me my cash back. Even though the product was clearly not in new or working condition they told me store credit only. So now I am stuck with a $ 150 credit to a place that lied to me about product testing and has a warehouse full of expired and returned Cosco merchandise… Great! I suppose this is my fault I should have made them assemble the device in the store to be sure it worked first. Don’t trust them be sure it works perfectly before you purchase!!! Be sure to read the Unilocal not recommended reviews also as they are all negative… Wish I saw those before I purchased from Surplus Scam.

Good for bargain hunters on a budget, the stock is always changing and you never know what you might find. You can score some really great deals on things here… clothing, food, furniture, household items… Lots of ‘costco’ returns. I’ve bought loads of things over the years — perfume at half retail, great rubber boots for my daughter for $ 5, lots of clothes, dog toys, bungee cords, light bulbs… Make sure you ‘try before you buy’, there are plenty of ‘as-​is’ items, and be aware — some things aren’t marked down enough to be considered a good deal!

Surplus Sam’s gets Costco damaged packages, returns, overages, damaged goods and other liquidation type items. The prices for clothes are half price what they were sold for at Costco, so a great deal.
Watch expiry dates on the food – most of the time items are good for a year or more but occasionally things are past their due date. Also consider before you buy; a dented box of cereal is likely fine – but a seriously dented box of crackers is likely a box of crumbs.
Merchandise is constantly changing; some visits I find tons of deals. Other times I can’t find a thing. I have found items ranging from duvet covers to granola bars to a tiara.
Remember that it’s a discount store, so make sure your item is what you want and is in good working shape because you get a store credit not a refund if you return an item.

This place is so cool! Great prices if you are willing to put up with the odd scratch or dent. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Dont come here if you dont like a great deal.
