I bought the truck from- this auction at the time of delivery no lights on dashboard but after driving 15 minute Dashboard light comes , I mean service temperature light coming then I went to the gas station for fill gas but gas cap was not there so I bought gas cap from AutoZone
that’s my advice before you buy any vehicle from here just visiting first and start And see with your naked eye thanks.
First time at UW Surplus, very impressed!
I won an auction item here and the pick up went smooth as silk. Traffic in this area is nuts so the good communication was a huge benefit.
I will be back asap and I highly recommend.
Awesome staff, great location, even better deals.
This place, though only open 1 day a week (Tues), will keep you coming back constantly. Their merchandise changes every time and the prices are amazing. 25$ for a couch, 35$ for a 72" TV, 10$ for vintage typewriter ETC. if you don't find something the first time, come back the next week. Or, go online to their auction posts for even better deals. I managed to get 6 top of the line microscopes, plus extra parts, conservatively valued over $7500 for a measly 175$ & 67 UPS's (uninterruptible power supply), some with good batteries & some bad, for 250$
Values are there if you're willing to be patient & put forth the effort.
Fifty cent metal bookends, chairs, chairs and more chairs for ten bucks, cabinets and tables for cheap, various UW branded merchandise, and many other items to furnish a dorm room or just bargain hunt. Nonprofits can submit a request to shop outside of Tuesday public hours and even ask ahead for items.
Staff are very helpful and payment in cash or credit card accepted.
Not quite a Goodwill in merchandise assortment but still a good shopping destination for anyone looking for excellent deals.
Parking limited, and Tuesday only shopping hours. Subscribe to their weekly newsletter to get a heads up on new items.
UW Surplus is only open to the public one day a week but is worth visiting in person! It's a well run store. If it's your first visit, I recommend coming right before they open, as one of the staff members will go over their pickup processes and answer any questions. They have a generous 1 week pickup policy, so if you find something awesome and can't take it home that day, you have time to rent a truck and come back for pickup. I also recommend signing up for their newsletter. It gives you a good preview of upcoming stock, but also some fun commentary when they receive odd items.
interesting selection for cheap! tons of science gear like lab goggles n flasks n stuff. got a really neat desk with retractable surfaces and built-in wrist rest for around 10 dollars
Parked in the loading dock to pick up the items I had bought online but apparently that doesn't buy you a parking spot for 10 minutes to check out the store...
Couch $25, chairs/tables/desks $5, good quality stuff if you can shop only on Tuesdays 10-3:30 then come back with a truck before 3:30pm Wed-Fri to pick up. They also have online public auctions. Nice folks.
Perfect place to buy subsidized furniture. It is used bur in good condition. The only concern is transferring them to your place. You can either book a UW Haul or book a service by taskrabbit.
One of my favorite places to shop! Still online for the public, bit you never know what they will have. All the staff have been helpful- I really appreciate thier service!
I tell every student I meet about the awesome surplus store. I've got an old UW tack board that is super awesome for $10 and tons of UW gear for way lower prices than I would of from the UW bookstore.
Easy to find & great online shopping experience. Since you have to call on arrival, watch out for weird mobile experiences. I had to walk almost all the way to 25th to get a clear signal. It's not far, but I wasn't expecting to have service issues.
Very friendly and quick staff, a little bit hard to figure out the entrance to the location but it's quite possible to make u-turns to figure out how to get in.
Firstly: This store is only open to the public very limited days, check their hours before you go.
Wow. We had no idea this place existed, and now that we've shared with our friends, it seems to be less well known that I'd have expected. If you want office furniture and you're willing to take something used and maybe give it a bit of TLC, then this is where you want to be. They also have a lot of UW sports related clothing that are no longer being used including game worn gear, older PCs, some interesting science lab equipment including a ton of glass - graduated cylinders, beakers, test tubes, shelves of random stuff that could contain anything: blank vhs tapes, plumbing stuff, old vacuums. They also have auctions with tons of amazing electronics, sometimes boats, and loads of other awesome random things! It's not easy to describe, go check it out, and then go again and find all different stuff!
Great surplus store with all sorts of..... Stuff! They have all sorts of athletic gear including jackets, pants, shorts, jerseys, hats, and gloves. They also have various office supplies including chairs, desks of all sorts, lamps, bins, cups, desktops, you name it! They also have science equipment and industrial equipment. Selection varies throughout the year. They also have live auctions where they can sell vehicles, larger industrial equipment, or other more valuable items. Paid parking is available at the parking lot N25, just south of the surplus store.
very bad customer services. the site supervisor has attitude and angry all time time. there is guy called Nill does not know much about the product even though he said he is assistant.
most of the product are old junk and overpriced. most of the clothing and all shoes are xxxl and 14 and bigger.
electric are junk as well and there is no refund or exchange. stay away or you Los money and time.
TUESDAYS ONLY NOON-6PM. Unless you’re ‘UW Dept, Govt agency or Non profit’ . Hours for that category of people is M, W-F 8:30-3:30pm. Gah. Parking is impossible to find, signs say 18 spots available ad signs misdirect you.
A fair bit if nice ditties here for you to pick up at nice prices. Hours aren't great but atleast it won't be all that picked over when you're there. Don't expect clothing but you can find random stuff at better than most thrift stores.
From the mundane to the wacky - you will certainly find it here! Great deals on office supplies, furniture, lab glass, decorations, UW sporting clothing and even a coffin (theater discard)! Check out their quarterly auctions and large items or lots on govdeals. They have a restroom and a handicapped ramp but be warned...street parking in this area is extremely limited and not allowed in the building lot.
Complete junk store. Prices vary wildly and you will find yourself digging through garbage to find anything worth your time. Opened most Tuesdays. It seriously is just student housing junk the student left behind and terribly used furniture from around campus.
Take note on their website when the store is open to the public.
The prices here are GREAT!!! I picked up two perfect condition 19" LCD monitors and an ergonomic office chair for under $80.00.
My review here is based on pricing only. Customer Service, forget about it!! Its not that their service is bad, it simply doesn't exist. You'll get cordial friendly service when you check out, and if you really need it, maybe help to your auto with your items. However if you need help in terms of asking questions about something you intend to purchase, you better bring your smartphone and check the web.
