| - I really hate how much I like this warehouse store. It's dirty, its grimy, its huge and nothing seems to be in the right place. Well, everything is put roughly into sections, like toilets over in that area, lawn mowers are in that area with weed trimmers and doors, but outdoor lighting is over here, where indoor lights are over there.
My first trip consisted of me buying nothing, I really just didn't know what to expect. I soon discovered that if I really wanted to get to shopping, I'd be digging through piles of mailboxes, lamps, power tools, flooring, rugs and cabinets it was a literal Home Depot rejected yard sale on steroids. It's not the sort of place to take your kids, it's basically a dusty open warehouse.
My second time there, I had outdoor lighting and a new mailbox in mind, and it took me a few hours to find just the right mailbox, and four matching outdoor lights, remember the lights I was talking about, 15 or so pallet sized boxes of lights to look through each with about 30 or 40 lights to sort. It was time consuming, my hands and clothes were dirty when I was done, some of the glass inside the boxes was broken on some of the lamps, but I ended up leaving with a new mailbox, four outdoor lights, a new area rug, and a couple other odds and ends I found along the way for about 1/5th the cost of buying them all at a traditional retailer. It should be noted that the items I found were in fact all new, unused, maybe they are discontinued models, but I didn't much care about that.
Some of the stuff they have is used, maybe it's returned items, I'm not really sure, but when you're checking out, they'll give you a price for everything in your cart, I found that the more things I had in my cart, the better my price became per item.
If you're in the market for upgrading a house, buying a tool, replacing random things around your house like toilets and outdoor furniture, Id definitely suggest stopping by and keeping an open mind about it. You might just find that diamond in the rough and get an awesome deal in the process.
Happy Yelping Phoenix!
