"Offer was awesome! Shipping fast and exactly as described. Looking forward to shopping more with you guys!"
"I placed an order for 2 vacuum sealer wine bottle stoppers with Ben's outlet. The order confirmation was almost instantaneous, and got a notice of shipping in less than a weeks time. I received my order and it was perfect! Such a great deal for such a great product. I will be a repeat customer for sure."
"I ordered a Titan Tape to MP3 Converter with cassette to PC USB. I was not completely satisfied with my product. For one, the product did not do what it said it would do. As I tried to convert my tapes to MP3 format, my computer gave me an error message so I was never able to listen to my tapes in MP3 format, nor save them as an MP3. So needless to say, I wish that Ben's Outlet would have mentioned what type of system/computer that this product would be compatible on. This is important information that would immensely help out the buyer, so that they are not stuck with a product that doesn't work. I wish I could get my money back, but I didn't keep the packaging it came in, unfortunately.
Updated.....I recently heard back from Ben's Outlet, and a representative contacted me. They credited me $10, because of my problem, and they she was very helpful, in finding a solution to my problem. Therefore, though I previously gave Ben's Outlet less stars to begin with, now that they have shown me excellent customer service I change my score to 5 stars. "
"They are an amazing site. I have never had a bad experance with Bens Outlet. I have ordered many thing through them and I've always be happy with the quality. I tell everyone I know about them."
"24-Pack of Philips Long Life AA or AAA Batteries, you can't beat the price! They work like any other battery except they don't cost an arm and a leg!!!"
"I recently purchased a Wii from Ben's Outlet and was very pleased with the service. The prices were very low and the shipping was free. I will definitely buy from them again."
"Great...wonderful...perfect doesn't even begin to describe Bens Outlet. Wonderful prices...great service..quick and free shipping."
"I like ben's outlet because they have a variety of electronics and things that you would not mind having around like extra headphones or speakers from time to time depending on what they have up. My only complaint is the shipping speed but it is of course free so a lot of the salt from that is taken out, it all depends on when you order because work days do not include some of the more trivial holidays. The products they offer are of good quality, not great but excellent for the prices that you pay. "
"Ben's Outlet is an amazing website. The products are high quality merchandise at great low prices. And if for any reason you are not satisfied they do what ever it takes to right the situation. "
"Bens outlet is a great place to get good items at lower than retail rates. While shipping can be a little slow, sure worth the wait!"
"REVISED:
I finally got my merchandise and it was exactly as it was described and worked perfectly. While my experience as described below is accurate they did contact me and admittedly they had shipment issues and apologized. Because of this I raised my rating to three stars, they seemed to at least care. If this will improve is unknown at this point so I can't raise it further than that. But I was impressed they called. I may give them another chance.

original review:
BE INFORMED! My experience with Ben's Outlet is very similar to many I now have read here. If you accept these facts buy at your own risk.
Yes while the price was good they say online that they ship quickly and that is an out and out lie.
I ordered on 9/21 a Friday, so I expected it to ship the following Monday or Tuesday. In reality I got an email saying it shipped on 9/28 and got a tracking number. OK. not as fast as they promise but not horrible. For another week I kept checking UPS to see where the box was, they only said they got information about the box but not the actual shipment.
The reality is UPS did not get the package until 10/3 and as of 10/5 it is only in Mississippi. I had written to Ben's via their website, like so many, no reply.
I am assuming the box will come within another week and the product will hopefully be fine. In fairness, if so, I did get a good deal. But I will not likely ever buy from them again because they obviously deceive you into thinking they are responsive to shipping and responding to emails. They do neither of things well.
If you pay with PayPal or a credit card then you have recourse and if you don't get your merchandise, go to them for resolution. As consumers we need to do that.
But if you are reading this and the other reviews you can't say you weren't warned. Of all of the good reviews I read none of them talk about quick shipping for receiving customer service response.

"I've purchased many items from Ben's Outlet over the years. They are SLOW to SHIP, but the bargains are worth the wait.
Recently, I purchased a toshiba 10.1" Thrive tablet for less than $200, got FREE SHIPPING, but had to WAIT 3 weeks for the item. However, I'm very happy with my tablet!
I have had to wait as long as 3 months for an item to be shipped (3000 tc sheets). I finally recieved the sheets and LOVE them!
So, my point, you DO get a great bargain, you just have to BE PATIENT for the item to arrive."
"Terrible merchant. I was linked to them from Woot so it did not occur to me to investigate before I sent money. They took over a month to say they shipped, and then they provide a tracking number with no named shipper. The tracking reports delivery, but that is absolutely false. No way to reach them. Completely
frustrated as I have never had this problem with any company online before."
"Stay Away!! This company is a complete rip off! I placed and order and they immediately billed my Paypal. I got no information as to when it was to be shipped out. I sent them several emails. In the last one I told them if I got no response I was going to file a claim with Paypal to get my money back. No response. I went ahead and filed my claim, Paypal did an investigation and refunded my money. If you HAVE ordered from them and have not gotten your items I STRONGLY suggest you make every effort to contact PP or whatever Credit Card you used and get a refund and NEVER do business with them again. Also warn ppl about them. Their Facebook page gets MANY negative comments which they remove constantly. Avoid Bens Outlet unless you like to be stolen from."
"hi, my name is Juanita. i ordered an android tablet from bens outlet a few weeks ago. my husband loves the tablet. it did take two weeks to arrive (too much time) but the savings is worth it."
