Review №1

Purchased a few pieces of furniture and electronics to furnish our new home we recently purchased. AJ and team were super helpful by loading our furniture for us unexpectedly. We were stuck in traffic due to construction near Anoka and they said they’d stay after close if needed for us to pick up our purchase (we had to come back with a truck). The kindness was beyond! We love our purchases and they’ve all been quality pieces that really add to our home. The prices felt right for the purchases made, everything seemed brand new at a discounted rate- what a steal! Thanks Aj and team!

Was very unwelcoming got followed around the store by the employee which never spoke to us....no carts so instead of carrying what I was buying I sat it to the side by the register....thats when I found out the woman who never spoke found me and screamed we have a cart that was not there....made my son take everything when we were still going to purchase and were almost finished....and in the midst of this she was above polite to other customers....Im will never return to this place....if this is how they present themselves to new customers Im not sure how they have repeat customers unless she didnt like something about us....

I usually dont wtite reviews but i was happy to find out this store only to realise most big items are same price with store or very close unlimited a typically discount store. I was looking to get a booster seat for my son and the price was so high i had to go get it at target at the same price listed in the store, Makes me wonder if all items are really discounted, i buy open box at other stores and theyre usually at a very very discounted price.For small items, its a good place and will still love to check in once in a while and thats my reason for the 3 stars but you may be disappointed if youre really looking to get a very good deal on big items.

This place is okay. We thought the prices would be a lot less than they really were. They did have some unique things there.

First off great stuff at a great price. That was nice but why I am doing this review is the conversation I had with the owner when I was there. Just a great guy. Very helpful and kind and it made me think of the days when we had a friendship with our local merchants. It was an experience I will not soon forget.

Great local place to buy items that are somewhat cheaper than the stores they are typically sold at. Personally Ive never had any issues-Aldin

Half off of brand new items. We bought our Dyson vacuum from here and love it. As well as various other appliances and decor items originally from Target. Basically thrifting but everything is brand new and in good shape. We’ve saved hundreds of dollars just from shopping here!

High prices and too crampedIm referring to everything.some of your prices are higher than retailers.im not trying to come off negatively, I like your store, just not your prices.if yu want to sell then lower them.thats all.yu would do better biz if yu did.as far as cramped, its too cramped.makes it too awkward to b in there.just suggesting ..if yu make it comfy then people will enjoy it and want to come back...

Wow, what a disappointing experience in the store, everything is close to retail pricing even though the boxes are destroyed, not a great selection either. If you are looking for a retail outlet, I highly recommend MN Retail Outlet in Big Lake, a bit of a drive, but a far superior discount shopping experience

Great selection of open box goods! Some of the prices were incredible deals! Make sure youve got time when you stop by as there is plenty of inventory to look through! Bedding deals are fantastic!

Hp mouse retailed at 11.99 at walmart ,ebay, and one other place . I asked if he would accept a 5$ dollar offer n right away he said no way i cant do that ,they are 20 bucks so i proceeded to inform him and then showed him that they were 10.99 at walmart and ebay. He seemed receptive to what i just showed him, so i asked again if he would accept my offer, and he said no , at that rate id be losing money . So my point is make sure you do your homework if buying from this store they dont seem to be as thrifty as they advertise . We all wanna make a a dollar but to misrepresent to do it is only gonna hurt your business Mr!! Happy valentines day to EVERYONE! ThatsAll~

Joe is Amazing and goes out of his to make sure you leave a happy customer.When I purchased a car battery charger and jumper I had no use to pull it out for use for months. When I tried to trickle charge a car battery I discovered merchandise did not work.I brought it back more than 6 months later without a receipt and Joes mechanic stopped what he was doing and trouble shooted the charger Jright on the spot. He unscrewed a panel and saw that a plug inside the charger was not connected. It was a very simple fix and the charger works fantastic now.There was also a situation where I had purchased Roto Tiller in the fall and again had no use for it until the following spring. The merchandise was still in its unopened box and price tagged. When spring arrived it was necessary for me to empty out the shed. Upon doing so I discovered that I had purchased the exact same tiller from Home Depot which was also still in its unopened box.I had paid $125 on sale for the tiller from Home Depot. The tiller I purchased from The Open Box store cost $75.I could no longer return the Home Depot merchandise, so I had to accept that I had paid too much for that tiller.Joe again was amazing and took back the tiller for a full cash refund. But of course I had to meander through the store and purchased around $250 more in merchandise.The products are always changing. So if you dont find what youre look for let Joe know and he will keep an eye out for the item.I am also a sugar feane. Joe gets in all sorts of snacks and bottled energy drinks. He sells them for around 25 cents to $1 at times. Last time I stocked up on my favorite snack shortbread cookies that are found in vending machines or given away on the airline. I paid 25 cents for what would cost $1.25 in a vending machine or thru a cafeteria line.They also have a good range of clothing and shoes at great value.So before hitting the hardware store or department store for linens or, the Super stores like Target and Walmart for general shopping, make sure to stop by the Open Box Buy store. ( Joe does not carry fresh perishables )There is a good chance you will be able to make the Open Box store a one stop shopping experience AND with wonderful service to boot!P. J. Bach, Andover MN

Im scarred by how high the prices were. Mostly new items. If you happen to specifically want one of their items, you way pay $5-10 less than a retail store but deals were really not available here.
