What Bidvana is

Bidvana is a shop for returns and overstock. We buy them from major retailers, and each unit is opened and photographed by hand before it is listed. You see the photos, the four condition scores and the price, and you buy the unit you saw.

The longer version is on how it works.

How buying works here

There are three common ways to buy returns, and each one asks something different of you.

  • Digging through bins

    You see and handle the item before you pay. It takes time and a trip, and the condition is whatever you can judge by looking.

  • Bidding at an auction

    The price can be very low, but you do not know it until the bidding closes, and you may lose several auctions for each one you win.

  • Fixed price, as here

    You know the price and the condition before you buy, and it comes to your door. You do not get the lucky find, and you rely on the photos and the report.

Each format suits somebody. Our article on bin stores, auctions and fixed prices goes through when each one is the better choice.

How condition scoring works

Every inspected unit is scored on four facets: cosmetic, function, completeness and packaging. There is no overall score, so you can see which part is imperfect.

Each score comes with the inspector's notes, and a low score has a photo of the flaw. Function can read Not tested, and the listing says why. A unit that does not match its report can be returned within 3 days of delivery. There is no change-of-mind return.

The scale, in full, is on how we rate condition.

Delivery to the Charlotte area

Questions from Charlotte-area shoppers

Where do you ship from, and can I pick an order up?

Everything ships from our warehouse in Waxhaw, NC, just south of Charlotte. There is no pickup counter and no meetup to arrange: every order is delivered to your door.

How long does delivery take in the Charlotte area?

Orders leave our warehouse within 1 business day and usually arrive 2 to 3 business days after that, with tracking by email. A carrier is no faster for being close to the warehouse, and carriers and weather can move the estimate.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is one charge for the whole order, never one per item, and orders over $199 ship free. You see the exact figure at checkout before you pay. A few items are too large or heavy for an ordinary parcel, and their listings say so.

How do I know what condition an item is in?

Every unit is opened, photographed and scored on four facets: cosmetic, function, completeness and packaging. The photos are of the exact unit you would receive, and the scores and the inspector's notes are on the listing. Function can read Not tested, and the listing gives the reason.

Do I have to bid?

No. Every unit has one fixed price, shown on the listing. There is no bidding and no countdown. Once a unit sells it is gone.

What if an item is not as described?

Tell us within 3 calendar days of delivery and we arrange a return and a full refund. That window covers a unit that did not match its report. There is no change-of-mind return, so read the report before you buy.
