Utah-based Overstock sells excess quantities of everything from appliances to tiny beads for jewelry making. As they only charge $2.95 for shipping, I have found that best deals from Overstock are their area rugs. Large, heavy area rugs: fairly high quality, a good price, and delivered right to your door for three bucks. Overstock also specializes in luxury bedding for cheap! I bought a thick foam mattress-topper from them, too. The site also offers auctions on items in bulk and automobiles. Shop on the go by downloading the free Overstock app to your Android or iPhone.
