I have read several comments about the electronics sold at this place. This is not to challenge any of those statements, but to simply provide my experience. I bought a plasma TV from these folks about 8 or 9 years ago, and I’m happy to report that it’s still going strong. I’ve had several opportunities to get a new TV, and, in fact, that’s just what I did. Turns out I had to return it, and there is still nothing I have found that’s worth replacing my old plasma.

Save a trip. Buy straight from the source at Costco. Prices are NOT discounted. At least when you buy items from Costco youre protected by their generous return policy. Here you buy items as is and with little cost difference. Disappointing. This business unfortunately takes advantage of the local community who do not have a Costco membership… Recommendations-1)put prices on items! Staff aren’t visible, numerous. It takes a while to flag someone down to ask for a price. And a patron will always wonder if prices are consistent or vary based on what you appear you can afford. 2)price items lower than Costco so you can move inventory quickly and youll truly be known as a discount store!!!

Just as others are saying, i will say it also: DON’T BUYELECTRONICITEMSFROMTHESEPEOPLE! I purchased a Portable Bluetooth speaker from them them the other day and it didn’t charge. They gave me my money back no problems, but in the future I won’t be purchasing any electronics from them. Go to Santa Fe Outlets instead. They at least give you a warranty, sell the same Costco items, and have much better service! I’ve been here a couple times and will probably be back as some items are worth it but you have to dig through all the junk first. I also can’t believe how filthy they keep their store. Sh*t laying everywhere. They would sell so much more and get so many more customers if they just kept up their store. Even behind the register, stuff all over the floor and they step all over it like they don’t care. I can only imagine how their homes are. Honorable Mention: Don’t buy electronics from them

My mom and I love coming to Mary and Rafa’s because we never know what we will find. If you are a savvy shopper and do some research, you are sure to find some good deals here. On my last trip, I was able to find some plates I had my eye on at Macy’s that normally cost $ 20 each, on sale! Here I was able to get them for $ 5 each. I also found some Lennox champagne glasses that normally cost $ 30 each, here at Mary and Rafa’s, only $ 5 each. I have been happy with all my purchases here. You just have to know your products and just like any discount store, you have to be patient and look. Don’t come here expecting to be treated like royalty. Go to Macy’s where you pay extra for that. If you have questions on the items, just ask. Mary is usually easy to find to ask.

The people in this place were extremely rude. If you have and electronic item that you wish to return because it doesn’t work for you they give you such a hard time about it like your the reason it doesn’t work. On the receipt it stated that there are no cash refunds merchandise sold as is 1 week GUARANTEE on electronics I didn’t get my week guarantee after 5 days I came to return my item but they refused to exchange It saying that I am the only one that this has happen to. All in all I learned my lesson I will not be coming here again and I suggest if you think about buying an electronic at this place you rethink it.

Compare prices and know what everything your interested in is worth. I did find some BCBG booties for only $ 30. Some minor scuffs but I could live with them. I got my boyfriend some Levi’s that are originally $ 75 — $ 80 for only $ 20. You do need some time to really look and have lots of patience. I did ask how often they have new merchandise out and they said very often. I would go back if I’m in the area. FYI, it is very messy so if your not into looking and digging through items than don’t go.

Place is pretty cheap but be careful. Always check the items you get, no returns! Not very friendly service but if you are looking for an indoor swap meet kinda place this is where you want to be. The entire store is really just returns and defective goods from Costco and I think Smart and Final. Not much is labelled in the store so you need to ask the front desk all the time. Goods seem okay but I would never buy anything delicate or driven by technology since there are just no returns. Go for the clothes, plates, maybe luggage or paper plates and stuff. They have TVs, sofas and all kinds of other stuff but I would personally not want to buy it from here. Prices are decent overall maybe 30% off of retail so let the buyer beware.

The comments below are true. If you have. Nothing to do and just want to check out this place, you should. They have a bunch of stuff. They even sell coach shoes ;) For holidays it’s good to go so find decorations for home… I go like once a once just to see what I find

I always find myself coming to this store just to see what I can find. They carry an array of things from general merchandise to name brand’s and electronics. You have to have patience and time to look around. Some days I come out empty handed and other times, I need help getting everything into my car. You can find good deals on quite a few things. I also believe they offer returns for store credit(10 days) which is o.k.
