What's up with Wayfair?

Yep. I'm one of "those guys" a cable cutter.

I've noticed recently an uptick in ads on the alternative OTA networks such as Escape from "Wayfair"

Isn't that the over-priced rip-off place? Shit, there's like a number to call and everything? I'm ready to call--it looks better than my shitty place!

Cheap ad costs, likely...

I have only ever ordered one thing from Wayfair. It was before I ever saw any ads for them. I ordered a trampoline from them through Walmart. It was grossly underpriced, and with free shipping ? I can't complain. After that purchase, I checked out their site. No thanks. Grossly OVERpriced

Wayfair consolidates many sellers so they can be hit or miss. I've seen some unbeatable prices there at times.

I am not sure if they are an overpriced ripoff service or not... I do know that one time something I needed was available cheaper on walmart.com which in turn was sold by wayfair and it showed up and was new in good condition.

So the only time I've ever dealt with them it was good... but it might have been the walmart effect (aka the amazon effect when a seller will bend over backwards to stay in good graces of the big retailer that gave them the order).
