The Home Basics sell the same products as NeoHome right next door, however, they offer coupon rebates with electronic purchases. Those rebates can range from $20 to $80 depending on how expensive the item is. I came here to purchase a hot water dispenser and received a $20 coupon rebate card, but was not allowed to use it till my next visit.
On my next visit, I tried to use the $20 coupon card on a small Rice Cooker that came with a $80 rebate coupon. The sales staff told me I can't use the $20 on an item that had a coupon offer. So after purchasing the rice cooker, I had $100 to spend.
The problem is, the rest of the products this store carries are made in China and Dollar Store quality with escalated prices. The shoe rack on display had visible cracks and splints and a storage trolley was missing a wheel. So, at the end, I don't know if that $100 credit is worth anything.
The service here is horrible. The sales staff must be on commission - they stand right beside you like hawks, with stoney, unfriendly expressions and follow you around the store even if you don't have any questions to ask. They will tell you how great a product is, if you ask. (Seriously, pick any product)
Overall, unpleasant shopping experience - would not return. read more
