About
Surplus Sam's in Vancouver is a retail store offering a wide variety of goods at discounted prices. Since its establishment in 2000, Surplus Sam's has become a destination for budget-conscious shoppers looking for deals on diverse merchandise.
Originally starting with customer returns and clearance items from COSTCO and AMAZON, they have expanded their inventory to include products from bankruptcies and liquidations. This allows them to offer a constantly changing selection of items, from brand-name clothing and footwear to household appliances, electronics, sporting goods, and furniture.
Located on SW Marine Drive in Vancouver, Surplus Sam's also has a sister store in Coquitlam.
Tips, tricks, & lifehacks
Visit regularly: Due to the nature of surplus goods, the inventory is constantly changing. Frequent visits increase your chances of finding great deals on new arrivals.
Explore all sections: Don't just focus on one area. Hidden gems and unexpected discounts can be found in any department.
Check for open box items: Surplus Sam's often has open-box electronics and appliances at significantly reduced prices. Inspect them carefully, but these can offer excellent value.
Consider seasonal items: You might find great end-of-season discounts on clothing, sports equipment, and outdoor gear.
Be aware of the "as-is" policy: Clearance and surplus items are typically final sale, so inspect them thoroughly before purchasing.
Ask staff for assistance: The friendly staff can sometimes provide insights into new arrivals or special deals.
Think creatively: Surplus items can sometimes be repurposed or used in ways you might not immediately consider, leading to unique solutions and savings.
