After being a regular customer of 25 years, this store lost my business. The place tries to overcharge you. An item will say, for instance, $2.99 on the shelf sticker and will ring up for $3.49. This wasn't on one occasion or on one item, it happened to me on four visits on multiple items. I had to start taking pics of the shelf stickers with my iPhone to show the cashier's the discrepancies. When I noticed it in the beginning after looking at my receipt, they would correct it my giving me my money and and then some--Like a dollar or two for the inconvenience. But the final straw for me is they emailed a rewards coupon for $10.00 off an order. I've gotten these coupons before and used them no problem. At my final visit to the Seekonk location, saw only $4.25 was discounted instead of $10.00. So, the cashier called for assistance and I thought this woman who came up front was a manager. She looked at my coupon, looked at the receipt and said, "Well, will you look at that? Oh well, if you want the $10 discount, you need to call corporate." I was like "Call corporate? Why? For some reason it didn't take off the right amount. Can't you just give me the difference?" "Nope" she said, "We don't give you coupons here, so you need to call corporate to see if they'll give you the money." So I suggested, "Well, can't we reverse the order and re-ring it to try and see if the coupon will take the correct amount off?" She said "Nope. The coupon was already scanned and used--when it's gone IT'S GONE!" I was like "Why are you refusing to help me? You see I have a coupon for ten dollars and can see on my receipt it only took off $4.25?" She starts yelling "BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE YOU COUPONS HERE, ITS FROM CORPORATE!" I'm like "Am I not standing here at a location of Big Lots, which is part of the corporation? An error of some sort occurred. It's not my fault" Then she starts yelling "THE CASHIER DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!" I replied, "I didn't say she did. It's not her fault the coupon didn't deduct the correct amount. But this needs to be corrected HERE! It happened at this location and it should be rectified HERE!" (note: two items rang up at higher prices than listed on the shelf stickers and when ringing me out, she corrected it no problem). She said "We're not doing it". I said, because I assumed she was one "This is absolutely abysmal customer service and you have poor management skills". She said "I'm not a manager". I said "Well I can see why!" Then, at the top of the lungs, screamed GET OUT!!! Like she was Ralph on the Honeymooners. I left saying "You want me to call corporate? I will and it WON'T be just about this coupon". So, I contact corporate and guess what? The coupon they sent me was encoded incorrectly deducting only 20% off the order instead of $10. I gave them this wicked woman's name (I won't disclose it here, but she has long grey hair like Brunhilda) and told them about the wretched experience I had with this woman. All they did was give me what I was supposed to get in the first place--an email with just another $10 coupon. I got nothing more for the inconvenience or abusive treatment. I got no contact from a real manager at that store apologizing, I got no notice if the situation was addressed at the store. So, I took my coupon to the Swansea location, purchased enough up to $10, paid the remainder of 34 cents on the bill and left. I went home, threw my Big Lots card away and removed myself from their emails. Ollie's is now the store I shop for for great discounts. This Big Lots in Seekonk gets a zero stars rating from me--along with their corporate office! read more

Big Lots is like other discount stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Home Goods etc. This store is large, clean and not disorganized. We were greeted when walking in and every associate we walked by would say hello and ask us how our days were going. Prices are cheap here and I always find a deal. I also always end up finding something I wasn't looking for and buying it. read more

I'll tell you what, if you're looking for brand-name furniture sets, this is the place to go. They have a pretty huge section with recliners and living room sets in microsuede and leather. Other than that, it doesn't have a giant selection of homegoods, but what they have is all cheaply priced and sometimes you can find some pretty neat stuff. read more

Big Lots - Department Stores Near Me - Seekonk, Massachusetts

I used to practically live at Ocean State Job Lot. Then I found Big Lots and it was all over. This particular location recently moved to a new building, within the same plaza and I'm glad they did. The new store is MUCH cleaner and much more organized. If you're looking for reasonably price quality furniture/mattresses, you should most definitely check out Big Lots. They carry just about everything you can imagine from art supplies to home decorating items, furniture, cleaning products, canned/boxed food items, personal care items, pet items, electronics, etc. The prices are so cheap! I can easily go in here looking for one thing and walk about having spend $50! read more

I discovered Big Lot's years ago when we had one in my area, but it only lasted about 2 years until they closed, then I discovered this one. They moved to their current location about a year or two ago, and its so nice. The store isn't overcrowded with furniture (but has a good selection) and its always neat and clean, the employees are friendly and personable and they have a great selection of holiday items, tons of summer items, groceries, electronics and whatever else you may be looking for. Its like an upscale Ocean State Job Lot (anything is, but that's besides the point!) I went in there today to kill a little time after getting a haircut next door, and for the first time ever got out of there for less than $10. tons of DVD's for around $3 and the blue-ray DVD's were $5, decent selection for the price too. I've done great here with cooking and baking supplies, I once found a cookie scoop for $3, same one sold in an upscale cooking store for $15. I'd recommend this store to anyone who loves bargains! read more

As far as discount stores this place is great. It has cheap cheap cheap stuff. And it seems to always change what they carry. You never know what your going to find there. It's great for stocking stuffers. Only reason they do not get five stars is service related. I had wandered around for a while looking for someone who ask a price. Thad a problem in itself. A lot of things have no prices on it. How can I buy it if I can't tell how much it is ? So besides that item I did end getting a lot of cool stuff. Worth checking out. Oh yeah and they have cheap furniture too which is great if you have messy kids or destructive pets. read more

Overpriced garbage. You can find much better quality and deals at Job Lot, TJ Maxx and Home Goods for home related goods like cotton sheet sets, curtains/drapes, towels, and other things. And for furniture, head to Ikea. I found this store to be a waste of time. read more

This location has step up thier game. I haven't been in awhile, but clearly there is a new manager or upper manager that has cleaned up this store. I noticed as soon as step through the doors. Wow, good job big lots. Nice to see when large companies invest some time and money to improve shoppers experience. Well done. read more

I went in to big lots today and during a pandemic when people should be nicer . I found this particular big lots! Not so friendly at all they now have you bag your own stuff the throw the money down on the table. They don't greet you friendly or say thank you for taking your time to shop here instead of somewhere else. This is unexceptable. read more

I wish one of these were in the area! Stopped by because I had to go to Circuit City. This place has $2-3 DVDs (good stuff!) and lot of cheap food and stuff. Considerably less DVDs were there compared to when I went a few months ago, but still a good selection. If you're an anime fan, a lot of single-volume DVDs end up here, too. read more

They don't have much in this big store. Every time I come here I always wonder why. I seldom find what I need. However, when I DO find what I need, the product is usually cheap, but durable. I like that. They have nice bedding and bathroom and kitchen stuff! read more
