has anyone ever heard of the store down in surrey called openboxco? they seem to have such low prices on brand name electronics. i keep seeing their ads on craigslist and im getting interested in checking what they have but i wanna know if anyone has had any experience dealing with them or at least know who they are.

[flameboy54]

I had one of the guys there call me at work asking about something watch related which I couldn't answer for him and he mentioned that he carries a selection of 'clearance' watches, Tag among other brands. Never been out there but I have seem there ads around.

Bought an Ipod from them a year ago, great deal and it came with a warranty so I can say that their shit works. They had tv's, computers and a ton of other shit there as well. Alot of people bought from them the day I was there.

They have pretty good feedback on Ebay..

Really makes you wonder now..

[03aspec]

im going to be heading over in a bit, could use some new ipod headphones, wall mount for lcd is cheap too. ill let you know how it goes.

[03aspec]

Well I checked out the place, not so bad, cheap prices but they do seem kind of shady... Also thought that you guys would like to know that there's a cute asain girl with funky drawn on eyebrows working there.

[ac87]

are they only open on specific days or everyday?

i bought a laptop 2 years ago from them....i paid $450 tax in (they dont charge for enviro fee) the box had been opened BUT the laptop was still in the plastic never turned on or used....compared to staples at the time it was $1200..

and last year i bought my LCD tv from them i got it for $1200 and it was $2300 at Future Shop

they offered a 3 month warranty in store for both products....VERY good business + at the time cute asian receptionist!

they are open to Public Thursdays and fridays....i would recommend very nice service and at times good products in inventory

[KingDeeCee]

Lol, if this stuff stolen or something?

[DanHibiki]

bump.

im shopping for a new tv and just came upon this site. Judging by the responses here I get about a 50/50 vibe. Anyone know if the manufactures warranty on this stuff still exists?

[WHEYsted]

Lol, if this stuff stolen or something?

No there just liquidators. They probably buy these electronics in bulk from the US and sell it for a bit more than unit price which is amazingly low. It seems legit and I'm itching to check it out, too bad its only open 2 days out of the week. I wonder why?

[Razor Ramon HG]

Shit, those are nice prices.

[Gh0stRider]

so... no manufacturer's warranty. what does the in store warranty cover? just asking because i had a $1200 LCD screen die on me before and if i hadn't had the manufacturer's warranty to cover the replacement i would have been screwed :(

Viewsonic 37" for only 350. Is viewsonic HORRIBLE or something?

[DanHibiki]

I checked it out today. I was looking at the Viewsonic 37" for 400 which is a good deal but for some reason, I dind't think it looked that great. Then I saw a Sharp Aquos 1080p for 700. It's 300 more and it's 1080p and has a name branded I trust more so I was leaning towards that.

How has it been for you overall the product and experience.

Anyone know where the inventory comes from? Stolen?

Sounds like this place is a front....

[CRS]

It is ALL refurbed stuff if you read this thread.

I cannot say for certain but this seems to be the general trend. Someone should go in there and ask.

[rslater]

I didn't think they were refurbished, but rather open box products that chain stores can't sell? Like beer bottles, when ones breaks, you can't sell the pack kind of thing.

[bobyu]

so are there any other TVS that not listed? Im planning to buy 1080p but they dont have many choices. Looking for like 37-42 inch

This is rather weird. I mailed them the other day about their TV products and they replied that they change their TV products every week and have new pricing every week.

I bought a tv from them last week. I just went there to check it out and see that everyone who went in bought a tv so I had to join in on the fun. That fun cost me $515 :spin: . Most of the TVs was the latest models that you would find for sell currently at the big name retailers. I think I'm gonna get most of my future TVs from there now.

how is the warranty on tvs there? can you buy extended warranty? i need a decent 42"+ plasma for cheap

[!Yaminashi]

Damnit! The hours are retarded, I need a decent laptop for some school work at a decent price

[BlackCharle]

i bought a 52inch sharp lcd about a year ago for 1300 tax in and more recently bought and 42inch LG 120hz there a month ago for 950 tx in..both tvs are still working fine...and both were hundreds below futureshop prices....u should be careful though some tvs are from costco which have a 90 day return policy..always ask the sales guy where the tv came from..for the most part they can tell u.

and btw shannon does not work there anymore lol

[TheKingdom2000]

SAMSUNG 50" HDTV DLP $299
^ da hell?
that seems pretty good to me.

[sh0n]

I brought 2 TV's there during the last 3-4 months.

One was a Sony 720P 32" - $550 tax in pretty decent as I saved about 200-300 at that time. Colors are nice and the set was relatively new - still had the box

Other one was a Sharp 1080P 37" - $625 tax in. This unit was the last one there and was quite scratched up. I suspect this one was from a BE as it didn't have a box and when I asked the staff where it came from he was very hesitant to answer. Overall I probably saved 200-300 bucks as well. The unit itself took a bit of time to collaborate but overall it's decent and serves its purpose. The funny thing is that the Sony 720P has way better colors (deeper blacks)

Some advice for the people who are interested in buying from openboxco.

- Ask where the TV came from
- Ask for the box, manual
- Stay away from the asian reps (they really don't care about the job)
- Try and get one of the owners to help you (older caucasian men in the office)

Oh and I have to agree the time that I was there and saw Shannon - she was hot! A cute little tanned shortie with aftermarket enhancements and a smile to die for! Too bad she doesn't work there anymore :(

i dunno when i went in there last im pretty sure they had the box and everything there, so maybe refurb but they are mint if so, its not like its all scratched up and used

prices have gone up since they started advertising on the radio and opened a 2nd store though, fuck was super tempted to get the Sony LED tv they had

[Iceman_2K]

I picked up a Sharp Aquos 42inch 1080p for 700 a few months back. TV was brand new in the box unopened. They had one on display and pulled mine from the back. Full warrantee from them. The tv has been great, no issues. I'd definately go back and get other stuff if i needed to.

expect every ipods to have some scratches
some are very clean but some itouches are so badly scratched, you can't barely even read writings on the back
but it's only backside, front face is always clean
They dont let you open the box and cherry pick so your luck

too bad their computers aren't running on windows 7.

couple of weeks ago, they had dell ultrasharp 2408wfp for $200
that's crazy

My buddy got a 60" projection TV from them and 6 months later a bulb burnt out and they fixed it with no problem guy was over a couple days after he called. So at least you know the warrantys are decent.

Grand Opening sale at Vancouver location starting tmro through to may 1st!
sick ass deals! check their home page

[Araaadi]

ipod touch looks like a great deal, refurbished 4th gen 8gb for 124.99

[Majestic12]

Checked out their grand opening sale. There were some pretty sweet deals to be had. Picked up a 55-inch Samsung LED for 1100. It was crazy busy yesterday. Got there about 11:30 (30 mins before opening) and there were about 10 people, but then by the time the doors opened the line must've stretched out to 70 or 80 people, if not more. And when I left, the line was still pretty long, maybe 50.

As for warranty, I asked an employee, and he said warranty is for any technical/manufacturing problems. I asked about dead pixels, and he said there's no minimum # of dead pixels before warranty kicks in, so that's good. One year was included, and an additional year was 17% of the price of the TV. Not all TVs come with one year, some come with three months or something like that.

[MTV Cribs]

So you got that tv yesterday which is Saturday? Cause I went on Thursday and they said that tv is sold out and they won't have anymore till maybe next week. If so then openboxco just lied to my face. Don't know if I'll be buying a tv from them now.

Thanks for the explanation. I also got a raincheck on Thursday but I went back today to ask them "what the hell man?" :-D and they had the tv with a minor crack on the bezel for $50 off that was available. Maybe if it was $100-$150 off I would have taken it

Did you compare it to the display model? Because I stood there for at least 10 minutes watching the display model and it looked fine to me. But I don't really know how to look for those sorts of defects, so maybe I just have an untrained eye.

for the savings, i think you can learn to overlook a few things...

The reason I was expecting these problems on this tv is because openbox sells tv that have been returned or exchanged by customers of the big retail chains. It was probably returned because of the light bleeding and clouding issues common with this model of tv. It's kind of hard to see in the day time so that's why you probably didn't notice it on the display model. I notice it on my tv last night with the lights off and the screen was showing a very dark scene. I had a 52" Samsung LCD for 4 years that I just replaced with this and never once notice these issues on the old tv. But overall I'm still happy with my purchase. I just hope it last for at least 4-5 years before I buy a new tv.

In my experience, monitors that have light bleeding or poor lighting show up when they are on, but showing no picture. It's especially evident in a dark room with the lights off.

I'm not sure if you can do this with any of the openbox inventory, but I'd insist on cracking it open and taking a look without it displaying anything, the blank screen would show any sort of light bleeding or diffusion.

how about just toning down the backlight

[DJ Milk]

I have a problem with the cable tuner on the tv. I have a 1 year warranty for this tv and I'm going to exchange it later this week and test them if they are going to honour their in house warranty.

^ Geniebra eh? LOL

[DJ Milk]

They exchanged the tv after running some of their test.

hey guys. so my tv that i bought from openbox in november started acting up. like first it was the upper right corner taht started burning out and now my tv doesnt turn on. I talked to the guy before i bought the tv and he says i need the box of the TV for me to return it. Has anyone else experienced how openbox deals with returns or exchanges?

If you're looking for brand new TVs, look elsewhere.

If you're looking for refurbs or returned used TVs for a ridiculously good price that have no major problems (maybe some cosmetic) then this is the place to go.

I bought two TV's and a sound bar from open box. Its been two years now, no problems.

They get the thumbs up from me... I saved like $1000 buying from them.

[Hondaracer]

Yeap, I bought a reasonably high end sony model off them about 3 years ago now, in store it was $1350 bought it from them for $700 not one problem, great tv

okay just wondering because the website has no mention of warranty/support.

openboxco has been around for awhile so i give them some credibility... there have been other stores that do the same but don't hang around for long :(

[tool001]

dont they just sell best buy/future shop returns,, etc

[slicrick]

I got a 32 inch LCD tv from openbox as a christmas gift a few years ago from the Surrey location, it had a weird dark spot in the middle of the screen.

When we brought it back they were awesome I was given the choice of getting another 32 inch tv of same value + store credit or get a nicer tv I ended up getting a 42 inch Samsung LED tv that I have now had for a few years and still works great to this day

I would buy something from them again for sure, the new smart tv's look pretty cool if the price is right I would consider buying one from them

[SolidPenguin]

Bought a 42" 1080p viewsonic LCD about 3 years ago for $300. Still going strong, no issues. - Surrey Location

Family got a 55" Sony LED 3D tv for $1000, under my recommendation to go there. Also in great condition with no issues. - Vancouver location

They do have a 1 year in store warranty. If it messes up within the year they'll exchange it.
I recommend them.

[JqC]

Last year bought a 42" Sony LED TV from them. They helped me unpackage the TV and plug it in right there in the store to verify the condition. Zero problems till this day.

We plan on buying our next TV there.

[Nvasion]

for their cash/debit sale, do they still charge tax?(hoping not)

[MTV Cribs]

Yes they do

Would Openboxco still be cheaper than buying a TV online on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

Most likely...
