Each day has a discounted price. Whatever is in there is that price. Let me backup. Everything, as far as I know, in the Big Box Outlet Store is an Amazon return. Some packages are opened, others are not, and still others are in packaged in a great big Amazon box - Like a mystery box. You have to scan the bar code to see what the price is on Amazon first, and whatever is the price that day, its the price regardless of what its showing on Amazon. So, here's example. I scanned a Nintendo Switch carrying case. Its on Amazon for S17.99, on the day we were there - Saturday, I believe, it was able for $7.00. So, yeah, I'm getting a $10 discount if I want it. I don't have a Nintendo Switch but I was thinking of using this case for was a tech case for traveling. Storing cables, adapters, and portable batteries. Anyways, its a free for all, and seeing people digging in bins and filling the carts with stuff reminded me about the seagulls. Im sure there are deals to be had, and I bet on the 99 cent day, I dont know which day that is, its got to be insane. Its interesting to visit, but once was enough for me.

I am very familiar…read morewith returns as I manage a team that oversees 14-18 online vendors with many of them being on Amazon, Walmart, and Costco. So, criss-cross apple sauce everyone STORYTIME I When you're a manufacturer/vendor and you agree to be on Amazon whereas you sell to Amazon and then Amazon sells to its customers, most vendors choose to pay Amazon 2% for handling the returns. This means that the returns do not go back to the manufacturer or the vendor. Please note that in Seller Central, there is also a similar program but some sellers can opt to have returns returned to them. Steelz from what I saw on their shelves seems to be a home for returning goods from various stores and platforms. It also looks like Steelz is the local recipient of left-over stock that Costco and others don't want on their shelves anymore. STORYTIME II Ever since the asterisk in the upper right-hand corner of the price matrix sign at Costco? If you see the asterisk, it means that the item has a number of days before it leaves Costco. That item may or may not sell out. If it doesn't sell out, meaning sealed, factory new items are left over, Steelz will most likely buy them at a discount ( liquidated price agreed upon with Costco and others ) and then Steelz is now the owner of the inventory of sealed and new items as well as any returns that Steelz wants to buy. While I walked through Steelz, I noticed many items from Costco. I couldn't determine whether or not the pricing at Steelz was indeed a deal. In my opinion, a couple of dollars saving wasn't worth it for me but I do see value for customers who are not Costco members. If didn't have a Costco membership but wanted to shop at Costco, then Steelz is potentially a great deal. Steelz also has many Kirkland products in smaller individual sizes like toilet paper and paper towels. We didn't buy anything at Steelz that day but I would be interested in going back and doing some more looking and pricing. There's been some discussion about the return policy or returning products overall. I can't speak on this topic since I have not purchased anything. If I do purchase anything and if I have to return anything, I'll update this review.

And no it wasn't written on the box. The scale was also dirty. Then I got a box with two cast iron pans. Because of history, I decided to open them in the parking lot. The, big one was used with rust. All in it grease all down the sides of the pans grease all over the bottom with rust, and the protective handle was breaking off in tiny pieces. Needless to say , 13 minutes after purchase, I was refused my money back and had to get a Shop card. When its the stores fault, the store needs to issue a refund. The Prices are more than Costco's prices. at least when you go to Costco, you get great customer service, refund, and reliability. BTW where is the owner?

This shopping center is a ghost town. The theater and JC Penny's are the only anchors. There is a Bronco shop, a Shoe Carnival, and a kids playdate center, but other than that it is all vacant. If you open, they will come! People around here are eager for more shopping! I'm not sure if the rent is extreme and that is what is keeping retailers out, or what, but it could easily be the next Village at Meridian! I hope to see it grow.

I may not be the right person reviewing Home Goods, being a man. However, I do come to Home Goods…read morefrom time to time, with my wife, to shop. We are new to the Treasure Valley, and came to this location today from our home in Star. It seemed well stocked and we did find what we were looking for, a couple of large wicker rectangular containers that we will use to store our patio furniture cushion. There really is no one to consult if you have questions. There was a long line of people waiting at the register, but only two registers open. I don't understand this from a customer satisfaction stand point. Are they understaffed? Our cashier was nice enough, and the older man that I assume was the manager was also nice, though they tried to convince us to get their credit card, given the 5-10% discounts offered with each use. I get that it might work for some people, but we weren't interested, and, to their credit, there was no pressure. My recommendation would be to have more people at the registers when it is busy, and perhaps some people on the floor offering assistance, though I get that this might not be their business model.

Of course items will be marked up relative to what you think they're worth - they have to make money somehow? Also, to be expected to be greeted at the door like some royalty, quite the privileged shopper you are! Anyways, about the shop - it is like a treasure cove of everything you can think of. From antiques to sports to toys to things you can't even think of, they have it all. My wife and I come from the medical field and we were blown away by some of the antique medical equipment and novelties they had. Meanwhile I always collect baseball and trading cards and was pleasantly surprised to hear about their weekly inventory of new sports cards. We were in the store for nearly 2 hours, and wish we could have stayed for the entire afternoon. When we return to Boise one day, we will be stopping by again. We were grateful for the wonderful staff and friendly women at the front register. This is a 5/5 business if I've ever seen one. Ignore the previous reviews, this is a MUST-See shop.

I actually had lunch at a restaurant in the same building a few weeks back. I didn't have time to check it out but I was in Nampa today so I made my way in. Walked into the store and wasn't greeted. I guess talking about not having enough money to pay for your taxes was more important than greeting or acknowledging me. But every other person that came in after me was greeted. I found it to be amusing and annoying at the same time. I did read in a previous review that they were racist here. I don't care if you don't like me cause of my race, just be kind cause I'm a customer in your store. I made my way through the store checking out all the different vendors. As much as I wanted to buy so many stunning pieces, the price point that these folks have given these collectables is out of this world. I can't believe some of the prices on teacups, dolls, vases and pictures. I can see why these rooms are crammed with stuff, no one is buying them. Even with a 20% off sign, it's still not tempting enough to buy anything. I did check out the clearance stuff and it was still ridiculously priced. I don't know why it's called a clearance section when it was all still expensive. I did find a very pretty teapot that wasn't overly priced. I wanted to snag a couple other things but I just couldn't persuade myself enough to spend that kind of money on a teacup or a pink depression glass wine glass. So, I bought my teapot and was content with my purchase. This store and the vendors are really neat. But, the prices here are just obscene and out of this world. It was fun spending part of my afternoon here checking things out but I think I'll stay in my neck of the woods for my vintage goods.

The Village mall sibling to the downtown location of Walla Walla Clothing Company, the layout here…read moreis similar for splendid upend boutique brands at similar prices. (See Downtown Review here for the 'lay of the land' information. https://www.yelp.com/biz/walla-walla-clothing-boise ) My observation here has been there is perhaps more representation at this store of some brands targeted at younger audiences, say Nic + Zoe, mixed in with the all ages transitional wear from designers like Eileen Fisher. Sizes run from 0 to 14 among brands and XS to XL. Get on their email list to learn about specials like Trunk Sales and Open Houses where discounts are offered. Or as in this Thanksgiving Weekend when they are offering discounts on spendy denim and tees as part of the Black Friday and Small Business Saturday events. At end of season sales when they are selling the stray pieces from the store, the buys can be superb. See example photo of Eileen Fischer jeans about $178 full price on sale during their summer clearance for about $40. Keep in mind, clothing is not returnable here. So be sure before you leave the store that it fits. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: The Village...the primal parking scream you hear is mine. It is what it is. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Level into and throughout the store. Plenty of room between displays. Changing rooms do not seem to have accessible minimums for grab bars etc as required by codes, but I didn't look at them closely. Sales transaction counter has no lowered to seat height space as required by laws and codes.

It was my B-day and even my husband was encouraging me! The salesperson never came out from behind the front desk area except to go to the back room for a few minutes. Other than that, I have no idea what she was doing...(maybe on line?) but I could have used some help. No one else was in the store....in December. I asked about different items, colors, if those items were available at the downtown store. Normal stuff. Her answer was polite, but she never moved. She said "everything is on the floor. I'm not sure if that comes in another color, but if it does, it will be out there". Back to her project (phone) and never moved. No intersction what-so-ever. My husband gave me the signal that it was time to go. We left. Money burning a hole in our pockets. :( Maybe the Boise store is better?

I love seeing made in US brands like Dehen, Filson, Eddie Bauer and Woolrich, and varsity sweaters from the 60's. The labels on these sweaters are cool to look at and I often go down a rabbit hole researching the history of the now closed mills in small towns that made these sweaters. I live in Seattle and back in the 00's, vintage shopping was like this. Now it's an over saturation of anything 90's from Sears and off brand names like Arrow at astronomical prices for sub par quality. The boutiques that do sell quality vintage like Lucky's often seem pretty picked over. The clothing didn't have the goodwill mothball smell nor a basement attic smell and they seemed really well taken care of. I like that the shop is not on the main strip and I just saw locals. I'll definitely come back.
