Ok, I used to tolerate their slow as a snail shipping, because they used to have decent pricing. Now, not only have they inched up pricing, their coupons have gone from having to have a non media item to qualify to media items not qualifying at all.

I was on a serious Overstock binge for a few months when they had low prices, the constant stackable 10-15% off codes, plus the free shipping code, with no need to add non-media items for the coupons. It was worth it with those deals despite the crappy customer service.
But with the stricter coupon codes, higher prices, no free shipping codes, and the same crappy customer service, I have not placed an order there in at least 6 months or so, and don't have any plans to in the future. It was good while it lasted though.
