Jumble — Local services in New York

As some users have mentioned, your experience at Jumble will vary. To keep things simple, I'll categorize my review by topic and include some photos of Jumble.

Prices • Originally started at $9 Friday, $7 Saturday, $5 Sunday, $3 Monday, $2 & $1 Tuesday to Thursday. On February 1st, prices increased, now starting at $12 Fridays down to $2 & $1 Wednesday & Thursday (essentially all other days increased by $3).

• Prices increases were hinted at being temporary based on their TikTok/Instagram posts. Jumble said it was for 'VIP Month' (better/bigger items on tables). Their replies to comments on their videos also suggested it would be for February only, but clearly it is not. Heck, they still have that big sign in front of their building with old prices. New shoppers who see the sign outside, grab items they want to buy, and are ready to checkout will have a big surprise once they see their receipt. What a way to mislead customers.

• Not everything follows the day pricing. Items on shelves near walls all have their own prices like mugs, plants, food, books, makeup products, etc.

• As of early March, Jumble began removing certain table/bin items. These now have their own prices written in black sharpie or are behind the counter with VIP prices despite at one point being priced accordingly based on the day (table prices). Small toys/makeup are the ones that have their prices written with sharpie (most do not realize they are no longer priced based on the day and end up not purchasing it). The items that were once table items and now moved to the counter with VIP prices are movies, early 2000's PC games, cables, screen protectors, and 'Onn' branded cases/items. Essentially, small items that Jumble once sold in high volumes and frequently are now priced higher. How did I come to this assumption? If you shop here frequently, you too would notice this. A few time I would stumble across a movie I want and end up buying it for $3 or even $1, but now they priced much higher (still lower than full retail price, but more like 'clearance' prices if these were still sold at original retail store). To make things even worse, I don't even think Jumble is able to sell these now 'VIP' items consistently anymore. I've seen the same stack of games, movies and small items sit behind the counter for all of March pretty much. They just keep stacking more and more, but the ones they've held for so long just sit underneath the ever-growing pile.

Table Products • Since it’s a 'Wholesale Returns' outlet, most items are bound to have issues with them.

• Furniture: From my experience at least, these are likely to have small cosmetic defects such as scuff marks/scratches/dents/chipped corners. Worst case scenario, the items can’t be built/completed due to missing parts.

• Electronics: Outright gamble. If an item uses proprietary parts (such as batteries for drones), it might be missing. I've seen keyboard missing key caps or USB dongles, making it useless since those are required for the product to function at all. As for lights (LEDs), these seem to be fine. I've purchased many every now and then and rarely seen any with issue; only having two products with some burned out LEDs.

VIP Products • They sell great VIP items. When comparing to full retail prices, they are typically around 30-50% off. I purchased a few VIP items every now and then, and never had issues with the products. Do note, despite being discounted from full retail, it's only a BIT cheaper than if the original distributer sold it at clearance prices. I typically scan the UPC before purchasing the VIP items to check if I'm actually getting a good deal or not (most times you are). Heck, I purchased a PC they had a while back ago and it works great!

Returns/Refunds • This is just one confusing mess. Based on my understanding, VIP products can be returned (according to their replies to other reviews/comments on social media). If it's a table/bin item, there are NO REFUNDS/RETURNS, even if the product you purchased is broken or...

My 1st time at the store and while I did find some things, it appears to be slim pickings. Maybe it was because I visited on a Wednesday. What disappointed me more was the prices and how they vary from what is listed on the banner. Only the items on the tables are subject to the prices listed on the banner. The items on the shelves vary between 2 and 5 , or maybe even more. What also was confusing that the price of an item varies between employees. Its as if they come up with the prices at a whim, there is no set price. One will say an item is $2 and another will try to charge you $3. So if the manager can properly inform their employees on the prices of certain items that would be great. Another frustrating moment can when it was time to purchase the items. There were 4 employees behind the register, the young man was rearranging the counter, so obviously he was busy. Another was sitting to a corner, maybe on a break. The other 2 were chatting it up. When I initially asked them who would ring me up they said to go to to where the person sitting was at. She didn't assist me. After waiting for about another 2/3 minutes I asked again and finally the girl with purple hair (who was part of the 2 that were talking and complaining about wanting to leave) came to ring me up. All in all not really the best experience, at least not with...

I’ve been here twice and haven’t ever found anything amazing. I came on a $12 day and it’s a lot of things people don’t need, don’t really recommend the $12 day cause the stuff on the table are barely worth $2. Things I saw on the $12 day were wrapping paper that I can get at any other store for less (target dollar tree Marshall’s Walmart included) my friend purchased a clothing rack/ organizer thing for $20 and it was quite filmsy but she was too lazy to bring it back, I suppose for $20 it’s a decent price but it’s not a slick deal or anything to write home about. I’ve also came on a $3 day and left with nothing as well, this place is very messy and disorganized. There was alot of heaters empty boxes and I saw some cat jack shoes for $3 but nothing that was of use to me and the ones that were decent weren’t on the table. Their furniture item variety and goes up to the $100’s but it’s items with damaged boxes that makes you wonder if all the parts are there. If you aren’t satisfied with an item they do allow you to return for store credit but I guess unless you’re in the market for kids clothes or heaters I don’t...
