Overstock.com was founded in 1999 by Richard Byrne. He found that even though outlet stores sold products at discounted prices, they were located too far from metropolitan areas and had a limited product selection. By creating an 'online shopping mall' consumers can basically go online at their own leisure because there are no opening and closing hours. By shopping on the Overstock.com website you will save some money because prices are discounted and shipping on any items is $2.95. The Internet is 'open' 24/7. Besides being great for consumers, Overstock.com also gave manufacturers, distributors and other retailers the opportunity to sell their surplus merchandise online.http://www.overstock.com/about
