Whats up with Burlington Coat Factory?

[aphex]

Do they sell overstocks from other companies? Second hand goods?

They seem to have great prices, but should i be worried?

The quality tends to be utter crap.

Not necessarily - I don't go there often, but I usually see name brand stuff (last thing I bought there was a Columbia jacket). Mostly looks like overstocks/out of season stuff.

The biggest problem I have with them is their return policy. You can only get in-store credit.

If you find a really really good deal then I'd go for it. My opinion is coming from a dry cleaner's point of view as well as a Syms shopper

Haha, well my parents used to take me to Syms to get suits when i was younger.

The luggage is called Maestro and looks pretty damn sweet. Good prices too, $39 for a 20" and $59 for a 25". Dunno about the quality though, i cant find any info online and their website is kinda weird.

I think we have a non-shopper there.

Like any outlet type place there are tons of good deals mixed with not so good ones.

Thing is you have the item in your hand...you can pull at the seams, try it on, etc and get a good idea.

Think of it this way. If it lasts you at least one trip, then you got your moneys worth.

I always thought they were a good deal. I grew up a stone's throw away from the original BCF in Burlington, NJ and most of my suits were purchased there.
