Bin Stores in Florida

"Great lace to shop and the young man that works the register/counter is very polite and helpful! He is always willing to assist when needed and always goes the extra mile for customers! I usually visit this store multiple times a week and always find a lot of bargains!"

"Wasn't pleased with it. Not used going to a place not organized with everything all over the place."

"THERE SHOULD BE A NO STAR CHOICE. MY REALLY GOOD FRIEND GOES TO THE PLANT CITY, TREASURE BINS. HE ALWAYS SAYS HE HAS A GOOD TIME. LIKE THE STORE AND EMPLOYEES. FOR MY BIRTHDAY, HE WANTEE TO TAKE ME. SO WE DECIDED TO GO TO THE BRANDON ONE. AS WE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR SHE GREETED US AND TOLD US ABOUT THE STORE, AND IF WE EVER BEEN TO ONE. MY FRIEND TUEN TALKED ABOUT THE PLANT CITY, TREASURE BINS. HE ALSO SHARED WITH HER IT WAS MY 1ST TIME AND THEN SHOWED US THE BUGGIES. AS WE WALKED AROUND..."

"We were greeted at the door and welcomed. A little small talk and the lady gave us a cart and told us how it worked. Seemed nice enough but she watched us like hawks accusing us of opening boxes when we did not. Everyone working was Spanish of some dialect. When we got ready to go we waited in line while one Spanish girl let some Spanish lady she obviously knew try on a bunch of clothes with no concern to us as we stood and waited patiently. The one lady was not only on the speaker phone having a..."

"I went in on Friday bought 5 items… all of which looked good from the boxes I grabbed upon getting home and opening them the shower piece is missing one of the top caps which okay fine not too big of a deal … but the second one really made me upset I bought a mouth wash dispenser WHICH WAS CLEARLY USED! Crusty nasty stuff ALL OVER THE TOP AND INSIDE THE PART WHERE THE MOUTH WASH GOES not to mention a hair on the bottom of box ! Mind you BOTH ITEMS WERE $12 each which means I’m now..."

"Love this store and the staff. They do everything in their power to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. If Forrest Gump was to describe this store, it would be his chocolate analogy, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to find!" That pretty much sums up Hot Bins Brandon. You literally never know what you will find. You may or may not find anything that you need or want. To me, it is the whole treasure hunt experience. To the negative comments about used merchandise, broken or non working. You have..."

"Best store around. My favorite store in fact. The owners are just about the most genuinely kind people. Even the shoppers aren’t your typical greedy push and shove type you find at bin stores. I’ve had nothing but wonderful interactions. The selection is top-notch and they’re priced lower than any other bin store i e been to. I could fill up my car with awesome things I find there. I don’t go as often as I wish I could since it’s pretty far from me but they’ll still greet you by name and remember it which never happens in this..."

"It's like when you were a kid and you bought a cracker jack box and you had a surprise inside. Love all the cool new finds in here. Can't wait for the new store to open!! Update: Their new store is so much bigger and better. The variety is even better and I could not be happier with all the finds. Run! Don't wait because it will be gone!"

"This is the BEST bin store in the area! They also have liquidation items here, so come on out and see them. They might have exactly what you're looking for, at a great price! *I am in no way affiliated, this is my honest opinion*"

"This is a good place and the trick is to show up on the right day of the week for the correct pricing. Unless you really want to be sure to get a certain type of item and know it's available, then it's okay to come on a Saturday and get first pick at higher price. I'm told Wednesday is sort of the break-even day on which all the good stuff disappears."

"**PLEASE LIKE & SHARE OUR REVIEWS** Wheelchair accessible. We drove up to this shop and were surprised over how organized and clean this place was. If an OCD person owned a bin store they'd own Hot Bins. Lol. They seems to do things a bit differently. They remove the more expensive items and update a price higher than that of the flat bin price items. If you need to open a box, they have a place in the back. This would be a great place to purchase gifts for birthdays, housewarming larties &/or weddings ect. There are some discounts to..."

"I went on 04/25. The short Hispanic manager lady was awful! She has no form of customer service at all. I was so baffled I went to another employee to figure out who she was. Very shock to learn she was a manager. She’s a very disturbed individual and I get people have bad days but she stood for most of the time just laughing and talking to another employee, so clearly her day wasn’t that bad until it came to the customers. Would not recommend this store if this is how they treat customers. Just go to the Bin..."

"I feel bad doing this review because I would like to keep this place a secret. I have been to about six other Bin locations around the country and this one is definitely the best. All the other ones I have been to are a total mess because of a free-for-all digging through the bins. There's a table in the back where you can open a box to see what is in it and if you don't want the item it can be closed and re-taped. The other items that are not in the bins are organized in different locations..."

"Daytona Hotbins has been an absolute game-changer for my home renovation budget! I’ve saved a ton of money by shopping their last-chance items, which they source in bulk from Amazon and Target. The variety is impressive—you never know what hidden gems you’ll find—and the prices are unbeatable. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the store is super clean! If you’re tackling a big project or just love bargain hunting, this is the place to go. Highly recommend for anyone looking to stretch their dollar without sacrificing quality!"

"This store is what it claims to be, essentially a liquidator of returns. Lots of stuff from Costco and Amazon. I did notice PII customer data on packaging/boxes that I would’ve hoped Amazon and others would do a better job protecting, but that’s not really Hotbins’ fault. One suggestion for management - I was annoyed that there were textiles (& various soft things) in nearly every bin scattered with heavier stuff. Maybe it’s just a weird sensory thing, but I’d prefer if soft items were separate from other things. Dresses and clothing seemed to be pulled out, so I didn’t..."

"We visited this store together with my 80-year-old grandmother, my wife, and my young nephew. A man dressed very informally, wearing short shorts, came directly to us and asked me if I was the person who left a Google review. I clearly explained that the review was written by my wife, not me. Even after this, he became rude and told us that because of that review we could not stay in the store. He then forced all four of us to leave, including my elderly grandmother and a child, and even laughed while doing so. He also claimed to..."

"Be prepared to grab what you like and put it in your cart it won't be there when you come back. Most boxes you can't tell what is inside but they have an area that will open it for you. You can use your Amazon account to scan the bar codes to see what's inside the box. Sometimes this works, I've used Google Lens and scanned the words or pictures to see what it could be. You really must like to rummage around and dig for things. Closed on Thursday for restocking for Friday. Items start at 12$ and throughout..."

"Waited for over 90 minutes to get in last Friday and had people just walking up to the door cutting in line right they opened . How sad they don't address this issue before a fight erupts. Several people said something to her but she didn't care and management did absolutely nothing. Why bother showing up early???? Plus saw very few of all the items they have posted on Facebook. Used to be a great place to go early and shop. Now it's not worth the aggravation. The 3-4 covered bins they hype at 10 am are a piranha free..."

"Don’t like the way they put the big brown boxes and let u look inside. The box is so high and only a few can be around. The customers break the box and the items go all over the floor. Then u can’t grab anything cause the customers say that the items are theirs. When at the bins the customers grab a whole bunch of stuff and then take it to the corner and there is nothing left in the bins to look at. This place is a disaster. So went in today 6/18/24 and I was waiting to b..."

"The staff was friendly and helpful when I had questions. There are about eight bins out at any given time and they are all separated by soft goods or not soft goods. All the clothes seemed nearly freshly laundered and all in good-excellent condition, which went a long way toward making up for the rather underwhelming selection of mid-range and lower clothing brands. If you’re a reseller who prefers to sell above and beyond BR, then this is not the bin store you’re looking for. However, if you’re needing to stock up on wardrobe staples like basic tees, camis and..."

"This outlet is head and shoulders above the Goodwill version on Tice Street! I’ve been bin shopping for 5+ years and was amazed at what we found: brand-name clothing in like-new condition. The way this place works is they throw the older stuff together as they roll out new bins. It was mostly clothing with some hard goods and shoes. The two employees on the floor kept us busy for the two hours we were there. The day we were there there was a Caucasian lady and an African American man (sorry I didn’t catch your names!) and they were..."

"Best thrift store in the state, pricing and quality wise. Hands down. And I do higher end reselling for a living. While the bins might not be for the inpatient, and pricing can be confusing for those who aren’t aware how bins work, I don’t care. I stopped going to any other SWFL thrift store since I discovered this place unless I need to reload on modern home goods (that’s the one area it really needs work on). That tells you everything you need to know."

"*** Please like & share our reviews. *** Wheelchair accessible parking and entrance. We entered on Saturday at about 3pm in the afternoon. There is such a calm atmosphere in the place. This store is massive and bins were nearly empty when we arrived. Could tell folks hit this place hard this Saturday morning! We were still able to score several nice items nometheless. All the items in bins are the daily price listed on the sign. Then on the sidelines there are several items labeled 'overstock items' that are priced individually or by case. There are very few carts..."

"I used to love going to this store every Friday. Unfortunately I will not be going anymore. I bought new bike helmets for my girls, and after I bought them I looked them up online to find out they were recalled for safety. These helmets were federally recalled because if someone falls wearing them and hits their head they will not protect them from injury. So, I went back to Value Bins and spoke to the lady - owner- in which I told her it is against the law to sell recalled items- it is a federal law which holds..."

"This is a combo Bin Store and Pound store.. Pound store is small with clothing and shoes while the bin store is much larger and an awesome place for random finds. The store restocks on Thursday,, so on Fridays you will find a bigger selection for a higher cost.. As the week progresses... whatever items are not purchased are sold for less and less until you get to Wednesday which is their lowest price sell day.... Staff is excellent at trying to keep things organized but this is a small business and we want them to stick around, so try..."

"My wife and I love to shop at this place and we have found many great bargains and enjoyed finding them. The business concept is great for a town that doesn't have a flea market or a weekly auction. The shopping is fun and each trip is a unique adventure and a hunt for buried treasure. The owners of this family business are some of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever met. I really want them to succeed. You can shop lots of places but if you want to find deals and actually enjoy spending your money..."

"To be honest, it is not worth your time, just a bunch of returned items from Amazon piled up and mixed up. Their price is different each day of the week (which doesn't make sense), so Friday and weekend their price is 10 and 12 bucks, you will have to go Monday to Thursday to get 5, 1, and 8 bucks. But there is more junk than good stuff, and most of their stuff is not even worth the price, broken, missing piece, and damaged. You need to be desperate to be digging in this place. You can find most..."

"I went to this store today just like I have been before. The associate decided to yell at a grown man for looking at the items that they are unpacking, I responded that I did not mean to bother. She then proceeds to stare at me throughout the store and even wanted to call my mother who was with me at the time to scold me. Keep in mind I am in my late 20s and I am her caregiver. When I asked for the manager she says that she is the manager and owner of the store then proceeded..."

"First and foremost I will say I did not go on a Friday, however, I went on a Saturday while I happen to be shopping next door I saw this place. I’m with the guy below who talked about marketing vs what it really is. Ton of return merchandise for like $5 each, however these are items not worth more than the same price. The nice items are nowhere near it. Ei: saw a set of pots and pans that normally go for $50…at a discounted price of $45? I mean I can find them at big lots for prob..."

"If you love a good treasure hunt , then this is the place for you . I'm a loyal customer and go almost everyday . Unfortunately some people don't respect a small business and destroy items and open boxes when repeatly told not to, it creates a big loss. The girls and staff work around the clock to keep the store organized but some customers just dont have respect. On Fridays you can find some crazy deals for just 12 dollars , beats paying regular price at a big retail store . The prices go down everyday and gives you..."

"2 stars cause it’s a big store and they have a lot of tables. The problem is 98.5% of the things aren’t worth anything or incomplete. It’ll take 2 hours to go thru every item and I’ll pretty much guarantee you wouldn’t find use for any of it. Half the packages are just a box with nothing written on it. So they want you to make a line in the back of the store to open it and see what’s inside. Imagine the waste of time to pick a box and make a line to find out it’s something useless..."

"Friday is the busiest day here, you guys should consider hiring more people. You also have to wait in a huge line to open things, ok cool but you need to respect the 4 unboxing rule not just apply it whenever you want. I waited 15-20 minutes in that line to open my stuff after the lady in front of me opened a ton of boxes you want and come to say to me that I can only open 4 boxes …what the heck I only had 7 items… left my cart and won’t ever come back ."

"WARNING!!! READ THIS, PLEASE!!! This store is a SCAM. Not only because almost all returned products are in poor condition or broken, but even "new" products sold at much higher prices (outside the weekly pricing) never come with any guarantee on their sale, even if you pay hundreds of dollars for them. They will simply stick to their no-return policy. I have never seen this policy in the U.S, even at flea markets sales, many items come with some sort of guarantee due to the difficulty of detecting defects or malfunctions. It’s at your own risk—trust me, it’s not worth..."

"The store resells amazon returns. On friday everything is $12, decreasing every day until $2 wednesday. They close Thursday to restock. Merchandize will be freshest on Thursday morning. You SHOULD check everything for breakage and I wouldn't buy anything that isn't worth at least twice what you're paying. They seem to have a lot of pet harnesses and cables. Hair extensions and stuff for kids are also plentiful. But I have gotten some great deals and its always fun hunting for a bargain!"

"I was going to change my last review but I can not find it. But I said i wasn't going to shop there anymore because they did me wrong, but I am addicted to this store so I decided to go back... only this time I would have my eyes and ears open and make sure things are right. The dude working, not sure his name, but he made the wrong be right, even though it was unrelated so i feel they deserve 5 stars again. But where is the girl that used to work the register? The last few..."

"Went there first time on Fri last week. Was there 5 min before opening, line about 20 people. All got in no waiting. Good bargins if you are a bargin hunter. 1 loose rule I would institute immediatelly is you can only scan value of a box at the bin its located in. Everyone behaved well and in spirit except 1 couple. They were shameless resellers. As soon as doors opened they ran in and grabbed every heavy cardboard box in the store. By 9:05 they had filled a shopping carts with about 30 boxes all unlabeled amazon boxes. They..."

"Generally a good store.they will open packages for you all week except for wed.with that in mind you would expect that something you would buy on Wed in a taped up box would have the item in it.you would think that an item that was found to be missing a major part of an item during the week would not be reintroduced back into the bin where an unsuspecting customer would buy it granted that these are amazon returns but you would expect the item would be in the box working or not working. Not the item to be completely..."

"We walked in and it seemed like we were being watched and stalked with our every move. Mind you everything was $1. LOL There must have been 8 employees in the back sifting through items, while the 3 on the floor acted like they were working in high intel security informing you cannot open any boxes at all.cuz it’s a sale day?. What. it’s a $1. lol. I’ve been to a couple of these in other area, they were much more welcoming- decent finds here and there - but this was too bizarre. Also seemed many of the deals were..."

"I’m not giving one less star for the business…I’m deducting one star for some of the clientele you will most likely will run across here. I love treasure hunting so digging through the bins is a blast for me. I’ve found some really cool things at an awesome price! I’ve also gotten some duds…which I fully expected could happen. That’s on me. The employees have always treated me and my daughter so well and so nicely, they are wonderful! Now let’s talk about some of the customers. Some of the shoppers are incredibly aggressive and scary. I guess they believe..."

"I love thrift shopping and even the occasional dumpster dive, but I didn't enjoy my first visit to The Bin Spot. I didn't know what to expect. When I walked in, I saw a big sign full of typos ("galloon" instead of "gallon", for example) giving a long list of rules that included no fighting and pushing (which didn't sound optimistic). People were already in a long line to check out that completely encircled the perimeter of the entire room, was hard to cross to get to the merchandise, and didn't seem to move at all in the 10 minutes..."

"Absolutely disgusting We were moving items bin #3 near the end. There was a big pile of stuff I started noticing a smell when I moved packages so I stopped. My sister came up and I said I am smelling a bad smell every time I move something. She just looked at me and then she grabbed a package. She jumped back saying oh my gosh. We both got a nauseous feeling because it was so strong and gross. She said it smells like someone put a soiled diaper in the pile and I agreed what type of smell it..."

"I’ve been here a few times. The old store was better and bigger. Oh yeah and CHEAPER. Workers won’t allow you to have a small purse. My purse is probably around 4 in by 7 in. They say only small clutches which I what I had is allowed which is red flag #1 because these rules were in place at the old one and never had an issue ever but now all of a sudden a new building with less stuff, no purses allowed. Be aware also that they definitely separate things and sell them as broken or missing parts...."

"I found the posting for a Arcade 1up machine. I went to this shop. We talked about pricing. I was worried that it may not work. He said it’s brand new in box. We agreed on $150. Seems pretty fair. We checked out at the register, the register says $150. I noticed on the receipt and my bank later on, I was charged $167.70. $17.70 over the price we agreed on and that’s not Florida’s tax percentage either. So I’m thinking okay whatever my fault, I guess I’ll give it as a tip since it’s a family owned business. Me..."

"Ive found hundred dollar items for $8 every week and its amazing!!Great store we love the owners they are friendly and honest people, I've gotten amazing deals here and I'm hooked I go back every week! It's very addicting to get such good deals and I never know what surprises I'll find in the bins soooo FUN!"

"I was excited to visit this store. I came in and was greeted nicely. I walked through the store to see what kind of deal they had and unfortunately there wasn’t many however, some things in the bins did catch my eye. I actually purchased two items out of the three I saw. The item I put back was an espresso machine when I asked him to open the box to see if everything was there; he briefly hesitated. He opened it and I saw that it had been used it was nasty and stained. So I left it. The..."

"bought a “new” printer from here. the ink and cord were missing. it’s a no refund place. it originally cost $49 and i bought it for $40. with what u have to buy i might as well just go to a store and buy a new one. pls ask to see things before u buy or you will be stuck buying an entire thing. shouldn’t be selling used items and packing them as new."

"This place is a blast for bargain hunters! On Thursdays everything in the store is $20. Since the items here are stuff people return to Amazon and other locations, you can get some great things. My best find so far was a $100 baby carrier! On Fridays everything is $10. On Saturday and Sunday everything is $5. Saturday is my favorite time to go because there are great deals to be had. I just bought a glazed terra cotta planter that usually sells for $35 for just $5. On Monday and Tuesday everything is $1. I got some fun stuff..."

"Poor service. Now they separate the good stuff and auction it off in the Sears building. Garbage"

"There are some nice deals here, nothing to be astonished by though. Some of the items are actually more expensive and are under the counter. With that being said it is still really fun to look for deals and I have found some bargains."

"It's okay. All the good stuff is already taken by the store itself. Youll find more junk then deals, but it's fun to still go and look."

"The Lakeland Bin Store on Lakeland's Southside: it's a little shop within a big plaza. & In there are stellar deals, hidden among the bins, strewn about for all to rummage and enjoy the discount! I visited on $2.00 Tuesday. The bins boasted a full arsenal of bargains! I was delighted with an interesting selection of accessories, shoes, clothing, knick knacks, home and vehicle decorations, bags/totes, office supplies, and even a few pet supplies. I gladly departed The Lakeland Bin store with some of each of the items listed above. All items were only $2.00 each, totaling only $34.00 for..."

"First time there on Thursday, amazing experience I couldn’t believe how such a small place can have over 50 people , the line was so long to get in but totally worth it. It was a spanish young lady very nice letting the first 30 people in and telling the rest of customers waiting not to worry that she will pull more shoes out for everyone waiting in line and everyone will have chance to get good items . She restocked and everyone had chance to get good items . I don’t know how she pull it off with so..."

"5 stars all the way! This bin store exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it's also incredibly functional. The design is sleek and modern, blending seamlessly with any outdoor space. The materials are top-notch, ensuring durability and longevity. What truly sets this bin store apart is its practicality. It keeps my bins neatly organized and out of sight, effectively maximizing space and enhancing the overall look of my property. Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided. The customer service was exceptional, addressing all my queries promptly and courteously. If you're..."

"If I could give a zero star I would! Don’t take your kids, cause if they’re crying then she’s gonna kick you out! Very rude and would not recommend. It’s people like the owner that make moms feel uncomfortable about taking their kids places! Kids cry, scream and no one wants to hear that I understand but If this place isn’t for kids, put a sign up , make it clear so the moms/dads that have no one to baby sit don’t waste their time going! I definitely recommend “The Bin store” in winter haven! Way bigger, very friendly and..."

"This place is pretty cool. So basically, what it is is the returned goods from Amazon warehouses are purchased and this is what consists of the goods for purchase. There's all kinds of stuff, mainly junk, that people buy (I know, I work at a UPS store), and some neat stuff that one may actually want to use but never thought to look for on Amazon. On Friday's the items are $9, Saturday they're $7 with an option to spend a minimum of $35 and opt for the raffle, and by Tuesday all itmes in the bins are $1. Honestly,..."

"Just drove here because today (Monday) is supposedly a kid friendly day. We had my 4 year old and 5 month old with us. The man at the door yells at us across the parking lot as we’re getting the stroller out that we can’t bring in our stroller and we have to carry the baby. Okay, fine. So I put the stroller up and as my husband gets the baby out of the car seat to carry him in he yells again that we can’t bring the diaper bag in either. It’s not even a large diaper bag. It’s..."

"I've been shopping here since their opening. Staff and owner Paul are always pleasant and helpful. MANY great items at fantastic prices. I've bought labels for my business, acrylic displays, ribbon, jewelry, craft supplies, cards, small appliances, candles, silk flowers, and the list goes on. The store is impeccably clean. Staff keeps bins stocked/rotated daily/weekly, but not like other bin stores I've been to in Lakeland. You won't find a thousand cell phone cases laying around in a bin. Paul truly does a great job with variety. The Christmas week last year was killer! Huge variety of unique light sets,..."

"I use to love Bin Hub when kids weren’t allowed. I went today and the kids were animals running around, screaming, throwing balls, almost hit me. And then bumping into me and constantly in the way Already had to listen to them in line screaming and touching, slapping, leaning on my car. There’s a time and place for kids and this is not it. They are in the way and unruly. Made my experience today very stressful and took the fun out of it so thanks for letting them allowed in now. I guess adult can’t have anything to themselves...."

"I've been coming to this store for around a year now and will continue to do so every week I can. It can be overwhelming, as most bin stores are, but there's always something worth my time. You're allowed to open and inspect anything before you buy it. The staff has always been extremely kind to me from the first day. I genuinely feel cared about every week. I think they do a great job explaining how to search up items with the Amazon app and maintain an safe environment for anyone shopping. I know a lot of the complaints..."

"First time going into Amazon Hot Deals. At first glance its overwhelming because they have long tables full of random inventory. You definitely have to take your time to look for things you'd like or need. I went on Friday which is the $12 deal day and I honestly can say most things there aren't worth $12. These are liquidation items and are worth way less then what they are resold for. Some tables had sticky spills all over merchandise from leaking bottles. Food is expired which should be donated and not resold. I will say its good to know..."

"Our first time to Amazon Hot Deals Bin Store. What a pleasant experience! Shannon is amazing and so sweet! She patiently explained everything to us and showed us how to use the Amazon Mobile app to navigate easily throughout the store. All of the employees were very knowledgeable and friendly. There was staff to look into the boxes for you, to make sure items were all there and intact. The store is very organized and seems to run smoothly. We met the owner before we left. I like that he is visible and approachable. What a nice guy! I wish..."

"I recently had the pleasure of shopping at Shannon's Amazon hot deal store, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The variety of products available at unbeatable prices is truly impressive. Shannon's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction are evident in every aspect of the store. Shannon was incredibly responsive and provided excellent customer service, answering all my questions promptly and thoroughly. Shannon's store is now my go-to place for the best deals on Amazon. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for great products at fantastic prices, along with top-notch customer service. Thank..."

""Do we restock on $3 and $1 day? No but please don’t accuse of picking all the good stuff out." The above is an exact quote from the owner's response to another reviewer. I was watching items since Friday last week. On $3 day, those items were still available in the bins so I thought I'd risk the wait and check on $1 day. BIG MISTAKE! I waited in line for the doors to open this morning, $1 day. We quickly realized that the items we were watching were NOT in the bins, but they WERE behind the curtain with..."

"Love this store. The people are always so kind and the energy is very peaceful. I’ve been to some bin stores where the energy is hectic and crazy with people pushing and grabbing things in front of me. Here everyone is kind and considerate and they draw a certain crowd reflective of the owners and people who work here. It is a smaller store but I have still found many great items from food and beverages, to beauty and household supplies. Like any bin store the products vary from week to week based on whatever comes on their truck. Be..."

"Ugh... what a insane place. This was my first, and last, time visiting one of these establishments. Nearly everything is sealed in cardboard boxes, most with no description of the contents, and you are not allowed to open the boxes. The prices are all the same according to the day you visit. I was there on Friday, which is $12. Of the items I could determine what was contained in the sealed box, NONE of the items available were worth the price. I did find a package of drawing pencils that I considered before I found out the price rules...."

"Love this bin store! You never know what you will find. I’ve purchased things that retail for $50-90 for just $3 or less. I’ve picked up tons of new, sealed items that I’ve been able to give as gifts, ultimately saving me tons of money. I’ve bought tons of snacks for my kids at a fraction of store prices as well. I appreciate the atmosphere of this store and the people who run it. Honest people, if you have an issue they are more than happy to correct it. I already have and will always recommend this store to anyone..."

"Here’s a review for Hotbins based on their store concept: --- Hotbins is an absolute gem for bargain hunters! I recently visited their store and was amazed by the unique shopping experience they offer. They stock new items every Friday, which are a mix of high-quality overstock and returned products from popular retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. The pricing strategy is straightforward and appealing—starting at $12 on Friday and dropping daily until it hits $2 on Wednesday. The thrill of finding a great deal is like a treasure hunt! The staff at Hotbins are friendly and provide a clean,..."

"Went a couple days ago and came closer to close so no real deals to be found. The next day I went back and wow got a super nice blower dryer brush and my husband found angle grinder for concrete that normally cost like $55 for $10!! You have to look but every now and again you'll find a treasure. I also had a coughing fit in there....was so embarrassed but the staff had such great customer service. They brought me a water and checked on me. I really like that you can inspect everything you find. There is an..."

"Such a cool place! It’s an Amazon return clearance center and everything is in bins and each day (except Monday - they are closed) mostly everything is the set price for that day. We went on Saturday so the price is $10 for the bin items, but on Tuesdays it’s only $2 each item. A lot of things are in boxes and you don’t know what’s inside but you can bring the item to a box opening area and a member of the staff opens the box for you to inspect. It’s a literal treasure hunt! I found floating candles..."

"What a fun place!!!!! You never know what you’ll find on any given day! Fridays are crazy and worth the wait before opening - tons of name brands at such fantastic prices!! The customer service is absolutely AMAZING! No seriously, EVERY person is smiling, friendly and helpful…and it doesn’t matter what day or time you visit - they are THAT nice!! They have a helpful station that will open any box/package for you so you know exactly what you’re purchasing, and they have loudspeaker announcements that walk you through how they operate & how to use Amazon to help discover..."

"I've been to stores like this before, in Orlando and Denver, so I was excited to find one had opened up here in Melbourne. My first trip wasn't so bad, as I had found 3 great items at the price of $12/ea, but I was disappointed when I was told I wasn't allowed to open the boxes to see what was inside, as I had been allowed to at the other stores I had gone to. Being able to open the boxes is necessary to finding out what's inside, since most of the packages have no labels or pictures to..."

"I would not recommend this store. We visited at opening on a Friday and found that the discounted items were actually being sold at higher prices than their original marked-down prices on the tags. The staff claimed they would restock at 2 P.M, but when we returned at 1P.M, the displayed merchandise, including an iPad, iPhones, and a baby stroller, had been given to other customers. Many items in the bins were broken, and the pricing was unreasonable, such as $12 for infant Tylenol, which is cheaper at Target. The store needs to improve its system and pricing."

"OMG! I was blown away at the merchandise! It was so much fun digging through the bins and figuring out what it was! They have associates to help, but it is fun trying to figure out what is in that box! Best day to go is Friday as it has all the new items. The selection was great! Everything has a box or bag. They aren’t trying to sell broken items or anything but some sneak in. Just give to associate. They also have special place to test the product for you before you buy. A few friends and I..."

"Found 4 items that were purchased, saved between 50 & 70% off current on-line price. Items are Amazon returns, Example: Flood light has a stripped out mounting bracket, no biggie. I'll just go up a screw size. Note: Can't open boxes. Just take the item up to the counter and have the employee do it if you'd like to look inside the box. You can scan the bar code (not the code # starting with LP....) You have to use Amazon's web bar code scanner. Nice friendly staff."

"Very clean and very organized cute little gem in mulberry."

"I'd give 0 stars if I could, all their items and open and sorted by price. Nothing is actually priced by the day. I went to a table with makeup, ($8 even though today was $4 day) I go through each baggy to pick put out unused makeup. More then half the makeup was open or used so I took my findings to the counter to pay and the lady at the counter was annoyed that I picked through all their "surprise packs". Sorry I don't want my surprise to be an std or illness, Very unsafe and unsanitary. It's..."

"Hot Bins is a fun place to shop if you love bargains. They always have a wide variety of items priced well below retail. The staff is very kind and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Prices are highest on Fridays and Saturdays, but if you go on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, you’ll catch lower prices. Plus, they restock on Thursdays, so there’s always something new to find. Great spot for treasure hunting and saving money!"

"This is a scam store. The three tablets found by customers known by the store workers. Tablets weren’t in boxes and look like old tablets. Same stuff week after week. Most of these items brand new are a few dollars more than they’re charging at a mass discount, save your money spend the extra couple dollars to get it brand new, I bought security camera from this place and it doesn’t even work and there’s no way to test it out while at the store. Very disappointed won’t be back."

"This place was good when it first opened 2 years ago. I dont know if they changed management but now its horrible. They need to purchase better palettes because its full of target, kids toys, and useless things. They need to buy amazon palettes instead!!!! I used to go every friday when jackson worked there. Now theres no point in going."

"Should be called daily stealz. 1 star for friendly employees. Minus 4 for up charging me $25+. I made sure to discuss prices of what I was buying bc nothing is displayed whatsoever. A pair of lil girls target shorts, Regular price $10. But today only! Get them from daily stealz for $10! All sales final by the way so hope they fit. Some shorts marked down by target for $7.50? Daily stealz doesn't go by targets clearance prices so lucky me! Today only! $8! That's correct, he looked at me and told me he wanted 50 more cents than..."

"Daily Dealz in Orange Park is definitely one of those fun spots to shop if you enjoy bargain hunting and finding unexpected treasures. The store has a unique setup where items are constantly rotating, and the prices drop depending on the day of the week. It makes every visit feel like a little adventure, because you never know what you’re going to find—electronics, home goods, toys, kitchenware, and sometimes even high-value items at a fraction of their normal price. The thrill of digging through the bins and scoring a great deal is what makes this place stand out. The staff..."

"I will never go back. I went to this place on $10 day. To see if I could find any good deals like I usually do with the bin stores on the higher dollar days. I found a couple of Kobalt Tools both of them look new one was was still in the box with the new blades. They didn't have any way of testing them. When I got home I check them out and neither one work. Then I realized they were testing everything before they put it out. Anything that worked was sitting on shelves at close to..."

"Well the honest truth is I enjoy the daily deals enjoy going through there and buying little things here and there for a dollar or whatever and it's nice the staff that runs it don't really understand English or really don't help you at all except for ring your money up and take it but it's nice something to do on a Saturday if you ain't got nothing to do check that out it's really nice it's daily deals that it's right there on Kingsley and blanding it's pretty nice I give him four you know just plenty of room..."

"Worst Shopping Experience Ever at Deals Mania in Orlando – Avoid at All Costs! I wish I could give Deals Mania zero stars – or negative stars, if that were an option. This dump in Orlando, Florida, is an absolute nightmare from start to finish. The store itself is a chaotic mess – it’s a bin store where employees just dump used products into these massive bins, creating a garage sale-looking environment that’s totally unorganized and unprofessional. Prices that aren’t even close to being “deals.” But the real horror show? The cashiers. Oh man, where do I even begin? These..."

"Deals Mania is not only a place with AMAZING deals the owners have AMAZING hearts as well! I went in to purchase some things for my classroom prize box and just happened to ask if they had anything they were getting rid of and can donate. Within 5 minutes I had this gift bag full of candy and a huge box of toys, books, stuffed animals, etc for my classroom prize box!! My students have special needs and these items are these that will bring them so much joy! Thanks again @dealsmania ! You brought tears to my eyes, no..."

"I can't understand or imagine how anyone finds this to be a great place to shop. My first time in that store and I felt completely overwhelmed. It felt like I was in somebody's grandmother's hoarded house with crap and junk piled up high on tables with no rhyme or reason to any if it. Clothes mixed in with pez dispensers and table cloths and dish rags and more clothes and candle holders and trinkets and more clothes that were men's, women's and children's of all sizes mixed together and all piled high on table after table after table. It..."

"You can find some good stuff here for cheap but be careful some stuff in there is cheaper in the dollar tree. That being said everything is thrown on the tables and piled high and u have to take the time to sift through it all just to hopefully find anything and no returns, u dont know if it will work properly befor u take it home so there's that. It's a gamble for sure. Ow and try to have cash cuz if u dont there's a 2.50$ fee to use your card"

"Well, folks, I wandered into this place, and let me tell you, it's a bit like navigating through a maze of Amazon returns gone wild. 🌪️Everything, and I mean everything, seems to be on a second life from the Amazon return bin. It's like a treasure hunt, but for slightly used items. 🕵️‍♂️Now, I'm all for a good deal, but the organization here is, well, chaotic. Picture this: it's like strolling through the jungle of dumpsters. Not exactly the shopping zen I was hoping for. 🌳I've got my fingers crossed that they channel their inner Marie Kondo and bring some..."

"First all the boxes are opened and the owner send employees/ Security guy with a bad attitude because he don’t want to do his job , owner sends employees / and security guard to throw stuff in the small boxes and tape it up. They’re throwing miscellaneous trash, bits, and pieces of other items in boxes and taping it up and people are paying for it. It’s not whole products it’s not half products. It’s bits and pieces and trash thrown into a box of people are paying for. People are always opening boxes, taking earphones or small items and..."

"My bf and I stopped in after visiting Aviva next door, didn't even know this place was here. It was a Saturday at like 130pm. I did have to dig a little and search but I found 2 things I was actually needing - a space heater that was brand new and this super oversized sweater that I've been wanting and had been sitting in my Amazon shopping cart so now instead of paying $30 for each item on Amazon I got them for $10/each here. We will definitely be visiting again. It's definitely a luck of the draw on..."

"Look at the Adventure With Riveras photo about the prices. I don't know about all days except when I went today, the sign said Tuesday (today) was $3 and Thursday still remains $1, idk about the other days. It's definitely worth going there on Thursday since what I collected was mostly basically useful junk. Something new is usually here and there but depends what you want. At least the main tables are, I didn't really check out the larger stuff, furniture, appliances, etc. Sadly the day to day prices don't apply to the big stuff."

"Went a couple years ago and remembered having a great time doing a "treasure hunt" and it's just not the same as it used to be. On the day I went, almost everything was from target returns. This ruined the surprise aspect as it pretty much turned into finding items from target you liked as opposed to some random amazon order. This made it easier to find the price on the target website and see that it wasn't even that much of a discount. There were a couple good deals, but alot of the items were damaged and some were..."

"Just a shame. Bought this today, got home opened the box and look! No words to describe the disappointment. We waited in the line for a long time to get the use of their “new scam system” while people were cutting the line in front of us. After we finally gave up to check on whatever we had that we didn’t know it was we decided to go to the other line and test the products, and simply no organization. As we had to go and work we decided to take what we really wanted which was the shark and..."

"I went to a store like this in GA called Black Friday, I was very excited when my daughter told me about this store. I decided to go on a Saturday. The place is very messy from customers searching for a deal. I would suggest getting there early in the morning on Fridays, since it’s the day that they restock. This store feels like a real treasure hunt. You never know what you are going to get. This visit I was able to find several women shoes, that sell in Amazon for over $30, and I bought them for $8.00...."

"Shopping at Crazy Hot Buys is an exciting and fun experience, especially because of the amazing daily price system and huge discounts. Each day of the week has a fixed price, starting from $15 on Friday and dropping all the way down to just $2.49 on Thursday. This unique setup makes every visit a new opportunity to find great deals at unbeatable prices. The thrill of discovering hidden treasures — from clothing to household items — keeps shoppers coming back. The store offers a wide range of products, and the constant price reductions make it easy to save big while..."

"It is a shame that this store could be so much better. I shop a multiple bins stores and this one is by far the worst costumer services experience. Sure they have their rules and I have no problem with following the rules I went on the $2 day and they don't allow you to open the packages, so if there is no label and no image in the box it is like buying a mystery box, you simply don't know what you are going to get ... I have no interest in spending money on something I don't need..."

"** Please LIKE & share our reviews. ** Stopped in with just a limited amount of time. Employees were jovial and seem to really enjoy what they do and working together. There are so many items all around the walls of the store that are labeled as "make an offer" & then all items in the bins are whatever price it is that day... Mondays everything is $6. They are not the cheapest as far as price goes BUT it was cleaner and more organized than other bin stores and they do allow ya to open the products AND test..."

"So I went to the Port Orange store a bunch of times. I love it. So I live in Orlando, heard about this place and checked it out. First of all, everything was $15. That’s more than it is any day at Port Orange. Second the product was mostly garbage. I ended up finding a flight simulator setup when leaving. So the dude gives me a “deal” $150 for the flight stick, rudders, and a bike bag. Everything was fine until I get home and all the sudden there’s power issues. So I bought new cords, hooked everything to my..."

"Im giving this place one star due to inconsistent pricing practices. While I appreciate the price adjustment for a damaged item, I'm frustrated with the following issues: - I picked up an item from the $10 section, but was charged $20, which is the original price. - The 'Make an Offer' section feels misleading, as the minimum price is essentially the fixed price. It would be more transparent to just list the price instead of pretending to negotiate. These pricing inconsistencies have left a sour taste, and I hope the store reevaluates their pricing strategy. I'm extremely disappointed with the..."

"Subject: Misleading Advertising and Poor Customer Experience I drove 40 minutes to visit this store based on the information provided on the website, which clearly stated that items were priced at four dollars. When I arrived, the promotional signage on the window also indicated that Tuesday was a four-dollar day. Upon entering, I saw additional signage inside the store confirming that items were four dollars today. Although the store was empty and many of the items were missing parts, I was pleased to find one item worth purchasing. However, when I went to pay, I was told by an employee..."

"***NEW LOCATION IS AT 6897 W Colonial Dr Orlando beginning Dec 17th but then they delayed their grand opening and my edit reflecting that they were closed temporarily was declined. Lol Updating google maps to reflect so no one goes across town like I did. There was not a notice of a move... if there was signage, I surely did not see it. Walked up to the front door. And drove by 3 times looking for anything about store hours ect. Will update the map. Thank you to the owners for responding so quickly below. Will update my review soon...."

"Very clean area. Most things you’re able to figure out what they are but if you can’t they’re willing to open it so you can see what it is. Customer service is great as well. The gentleman that was there when I went today 3/2/24 was very kind"

"Not worth going! !!!! FRAUD***** While the prices are clearly posted on the wall, they are not honored at checkout. I was quoted a different (higher) price when it was time to pay. This practice feels misleading and unethical, as it gives the impression of false advertising just to get customers in the door. Transparency and consistency in pricing are essential for any legit business.  Be wary of this place. .. I did ask if he could remove the price from the website the wall and the outside and he said no… *****"

"My favorite place to shop ,best deals on most everything you need/want haha Matt and Christy are great love this store thanks for opening in our town"

"Super nice owners. Helps you to your car with heavy items. Great deals, and lots of stuff to look at and dig through. Definitely check it out."

"Great store, friendly staff, amazing deals!! Definitely recommend!!"

"The store, location, concept and what they sell are all great, 5 stars. Any complaints on here about prices or buying stuff that doesn't work or couldn't find anything they wanted need to open their peepers and read the signs before buying anything. There is a process how the store works, it's the same as Hot bins in Tampa and just like every other bin store from east to west coast. My complaint is I have been to this store hundreds of times and will come back but when I was there the other day the younger guy they had..."

"Staff is nice and the store is usually clean but rating 3 stars because of the owner/managers deceptiveness: At first this was a hot spot to find really great items for your home or personal use however I’ve noticed over the last several months (compared to when I first started coming here) the bins seem to get “junkier” with time. One thing I have never liked from this Location is that they seem to wait until people are so tired of sifting through junk to bring out new products which seems counter productive.. now the last three times I have..."

"Truly one of my favorite stores! I am a regular there and the staff recognize us the second we walk into the store. I even go there on my "lunch" break, shhh don't tell my boss! While this is one of my favorite stores there are a few things they can do to make it go from a 4 star experience to a 5 star experience. 1. The music. This doesn't necessarily bother me but I do consistently hear other customers complain about it while I am in the store. The music is pretty loud but quite often inappropriate for..."

"Popped in on their day before restock to check out the deals. it's fair to say that you're rolling the dice on what's available at what quality. Despite what is out on the floor, and what they have behind the counter it's a good deal if you find a on the cheap house appliance or pieces you can use, but they seem to pull every bit of electronics behind the counter and have them set to arbitrary prices. For containing Amazon return items I was surprised to see that they were selling items higher than their Amazon listings for new!..."

"All these negative reviews are null and void. When a store opens for Black Friday are you gonna show up at the opening time or get there early for the good stuff. I’ve been to this location multiple times and have never walked out without good stuff. Those people are there hours earlier than you. They know the owner just like the rest of us, but we aren’t on going to thanksgiving dinner at his house! ( well not yet) hahaha. There are tons of things here. Just follow them on Facebook and you will know what time to get..."

"When the man says QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY he means it! I was able to come on a Friday and brought 3 friends along. While I wasn’t able to grab all the things I had seen in the preview, I did get some QUALITY items. A cordless leaf blower- on Amazon for $70! Raised garden beds, on Amazon for $99! A panini press, on Amazon $50! How much did I pay???? Only $10 each item! They do give away! They have a table where you can bring boxes and have them opened before you buy so that you can see if..."

"Was here last week good selection. But beware of electronics, employees are not good with taking care of items. They throw them from registers to tables out of laziness and they're bad at aiming so items fall to the floor hard. So if the electronics you purchased are not working you know why saw employees do this myself one of the items was a Bluetooth speaker a very nice one , so if they're abusing merchandise with customers in store what do you think is happening with merchandise when they have no customers."

"I was bothered by some lady in a wheelchair and it was don't open anything bringing up to the front and they open it for you when I get up there the lady tells me oh I can't open a lot of boxes I guess she didn't want to do her job and then when I check out I get home half of my stuff is missing it was a $2 day and I spent over $80 and half of my stuff is not there I had some soup medicine for my hair now no way to get ahold of..."

"Out of all the bin places I have been this by far is my Favorite! Yes, it is a small store. A bit "cozy" one would say. However, the family that works it is wonderful. I found a power inverter for the car, Paid $5. Found a brand new bathroom sink faucet set thingie with everything included, paid $5. Found bathtub faucet set thingie, paid $5. Two whole face snorkels, paid $5. Everything was brand new, never used and retailed $40-$75 each. Now, be mindful these products were once returned, so like any bin store you may find used items...."

"This is my absolute favorite bin store and it’s not even close. I love supporting small business and Travis and family will always get my support. My girlfriend and I don’t actually need anything but it’s so much fun to go and find things. It’s cheaper than a night out and we love to go hunt for stuff. Our favorite day is Tuesday because it’s fill an IKEA bag for $25, but we have been on $12 days as well to get some higher end items. Stop by and check it out, you aren’t going to get better customer service!!"

"I have already been there twice since they opened and both times I found some great items! This family-owned location is a place I will continue to support. No matter how many packages you need opened, they are always happy to assist. Everyone was so friendly and upbeat. *To the owners - No matter how tough times get, please never lose the joy and passion that you have for your business."

"Travis and pops were amazing It was our first time at this store they had alot of cool stuff for cheap. And they even left us stay after hours to keep looking. Great customer service and super friendly. High recommended"
