Twice As Nice Warehouse

If only I could give 0 as a rating! Please make sure you double and triple check your merchandise before you drive off. Went to the warehouse off California and was sold an electric garbage can marked $ 49, for 50% the original price of $ 69-​was told it was an accidental mark down. Indeed, it was not! I got home and there was garbage inside the can, all the markings for the power and low battery signals were rubbed off, two huge dents were in the front and even with batteries the lid would not open. The receipt doesn’t indicate the grace period for returns nor the website, only sign is in the store. If you’re in a hurry or haven’t been to this store before you’d miss it, because of the overwhelming lack of organization! I didn’t get back within 30 days so I was stuck with a piece of junk! Out of good faith I gave them a second chance, this time the manager provided horrific customer service, such a pathetic interaction. Ended up calling the person above her to complain! Of course they have eachothers back. Never… ever, ever again! Good riddance!

We had to visit this place after we’ve heard other parents rave about it. This place is awesome! You will find things that you thought you didn’t need. If you’re looking to find something specific, you may be disappointed as they have one-​offs, But if you do find it, WHOA! And it’s discounted?!? Even better! We’ve been there a few times, and trust me, it’s not a place where it will be a quick visit. You have to be willing to spend a little time to look around as you may find that little gem you may have been looking for some time ago.

3 ½ stars
It is a big full of all kids of stuff place
If you are looking for furniture or big items like sofas, chairs it might be worth for you to visit this place.
I was able to find 4 chairs for my kitchen counter that were originally sold at costco for $ 149 I got them for $ 75 each found them on two trips.
If you are pressed for time and have a list of items that you want and think you ll be walking in and out of the store I guarantee that won’t happen you have to find items inspect them etc.
Some good bargains others so so others not so good
Not everything is marked down only blue labels are 50% off
Do take your time inspecting items.

Ugh. Those are the words i have to say to this place, ugh. Seriously everything in this store is messy and disorganized. And some of the food was already expired.GROSS. One day i went there and bought a few things and when i went to go pay i noticed my cashier was a woman named Antonia. And i saw the the other cashier was all nice to the customer and asked the costomer if she wanted a bag. But no for me. When i bought all the stuff Antonia didnt even ask me if i wanted a bag. And i saw at the back counter there were so many bags. Then 1minute later i had a glass jar full of peaches and then when i was going to my car i accidently droped them. i could of never dropped them if i had a bag. Wow. Thenn they had to clean it up. After that i just left. Im never goingthere again. Seriously you dont ask the customer if they want a bag even if it cost25 cents. Worst place to shop.

Twice as Nice is all over Half Moon Bay. They have 3 small shops and then there’s this large warehouse.
It’s pretty unorganized. But if you look hard enough you can find some really cool things at really discounted prices. They get their things from stores like Costco, items that were returned or not wanted.
Be weary though when buying anything battery operated or electronic. Most of the stuff won’t work, best thing is to check if it works at the store before buying it.

I have to agree with the reviews noting bad customer service. I get it, you are buying things at 25−50% off but do you have to be so rude to your customers? I get the feeling that some retired people put their money together and started this with no background in retail or discount stores because the stuff is just thrown in boxes and piled up on top of each other. You do find some decent items from time to time but honestly you’ll need a shower after visiting this place because is so dusty! Maybe that’s why the employees are so rude, unhappy to work in such a disorganized and dusty warehouse.

The location I’m writing about is at 202 California Av, Half Moon Bay… near Princeton By The Sea, NOT the ones off of HWY 92 in Half Moon Bay. Its true that you can find good deals there, one of them being TOOLS. But what I’d like to warn others about is the FOOD section. I just bought a box of BELVITA Blueberry crackers, 25 packs in all for about $ 6.57 (great deal!). I was sure to check the EXPIRATION DATE, which was fine (good til Sept 2015). The box was in decent condition, although it had been taped shut, but did not appear to have ever been completely opened. Well, I found that to be UNTRUE, since I opened it as soon as I got home and discover that EVER SINGLE PACK of crackers was CRUSHED TO CRUMBS!!! WHAT!!! Someone DELIBERATELY did this, knowing that a customer would have to deal with it one way or the other… eat it as a CEREAL or HAVE TO RETURN IT TO THE STORE. Luckily I don’t live far away and you can BET I’M RETURNING IT!!! But I feel for those who don’t live close who may just decide chock it up to a «learning experience» and never buy any food items there again. Hopefully I’m saving people the same experience.

Randomly stumbled upon Twice As Nice Warehouse while exploring in Half Moon Bay. I was surprised to find that you can actually purchase returned and merchandise overstock from Costco at additional discounted prices. Think of a large garage sale with unused merchandise. If you dig you can seriously find some useful things. They have everything from furniture to shoes to food to clothes to tools to almost everything. Yes it’s not very organized and yes you are in a warehouse but you can find treasure if you really look just like you’d find at a garage sale. Everything with a blue price tag is an additional 50% off and everything else is price as marked. Make sure you’re getting a good deal by comparing what you would spend in Costco because some items aren’t marked down to show a substantial discount. Yes it’s not the most pleasant experience but if you need something specific for a project you’re doing at home, then it’s worthwhile to check if this place can help you out.

Just no.
A complete train wreck, Twice As Nice gave my BFF and I the creeps the second we approached the entrance which was covered in all kinds of crazy things like you would see on the lawn of a redneck’s garage sale. My BFF and I have this thing where we go to thrift stores on our vacations to find good or funny things to buy for each other, and we were striking out on this trip. When we saw this place, we abruptly stopped in to see what we could find. And holy cow, what a find.
Not only was everything in the concrete floor showroom (that word is used loosely) set up like a flea market with things that were either already opened, tossed around without any organization and/​or were wayyyyy too nice to be in a place like this — a women’s Cartier watch next to dog food? HUH? That couldn’t have been a real watch. And some of the food had expired. YUCH.
We left after less than 5 minutes. As we drove away, we noticed that not 100 yards away at the other end of the tiny strip mall was ANOTHER Twice As Nice. For real.

This place is a mess! The discounts were not worth the drive for me honestly. The customer service was not nice at all.

Surely not worth the drive or wandering thru the mess, unless you live in the area and lack other shopping options. We were hard pressed to find «half price» items. Need to know your prices and check the quality. A lot of off-​brand food and household items more typical of dollar-​stores, but at 2−3x the price.

Holy flippin’ discounts! As I wandered the halls of this bargain basement, I kept thinking to myself «I really don’t think I could come up with something that I needed that isn’t for sale here!»
The Twice as Nice group of stores in Half Moon Bay are lowkey discount warehouses, kind of like Costco and the 99 cent store fell in love and made this baby. Be prepared for flea market style shopping — while things are organized, it’s up to you to put in the effort to browse browse browse through endless racks of clothes, shelves of random food items, sterling silvery jewelry and oddball household goodies. And while I don’t think the store is necessarily consignment, some toy and furniture items did have a used feel with spots of dirt and damage, but I’m sure they would negotiate the price down in those cases.
My friend and I spent the most time digging through their clothes — hardly anything is priced as marked, and items with blue tags are automatically 50% off. I found a nice cotton summer ready maxi-​dress, marked as $ 24 with a blue tag and well worth $ 12. Up at the register, there was a posted sign saying ALL DRESSES $ 7.99. It just kept getting better and better! I would also like to point out that they had Pillsbury pineapple cake mix. Never in all my grocery store wanderings have I ever seen THAT flavor. It kinda blew my mind! Topped with coconut frosting? Hello!
Visit this and ALL Twice as Nice locations with time to spare and ready to hunt, treasures will most definitely be found!

BEWARE! THIEVES!
Before we left town we got a text from our bank that our debit had gone through from our purchase at this store. It was quite a bit more than what we bought and what our receipt stated. We went back and got on the phone with the owner. The owner was super rude. Agreed to give our money back after my husband threatened calling the police but yelled at him to never come back. DO NOT GO HERE. And if you do or already have, check your bank statement. There is some serious dishonesty happening here.

BEWARE!
Stay far away from buying any electronics from this place. I thought I was getting a deal buying a Denon home theater receiver here. I knew that I only have 30 days to take it home tested out for the return policy was up. About the thing home I powered it up and seem to turn I thought it was all good. About a month and a half later I finally get around to use redoing my home stereo set up, and they go to turn on the amp after rewiring everything, and the unit would not produce any sound. Cycle twice as nice, they will do anything for me since it’s after 30 days. and I am SOL!
Lesson learned: deal only with reputable retail shops; sometimes a bargain can cost you a lot more.

Este outlet es para los que les gusta hacer shopping de verdad. Por eso, entiendo mirar un montón de artículos de ropa que no te gustan, que no son tu talla para finalmente encontrar una sola cosa que te encanta. Hay ropa para adultos y niños, pero también joya, objetos de todo tipo y muebles, todo a precio descontado. Es la ropa que me ha parecido interesante así que hay marcas americanas buenas.
Si tienes niños, puede valer la pena la parada. Hay que ir en coche así que el álmacen se encuentra en una zona industrial.

It’s liquidator for Costco stores so basically when seasonal items need to get out of the warehouse they come here. You have to hit it up at the right time to get what you are looking for. For example when Costco sells furniture during the winter time, check out this place in early-​mid April when all the furniture has to get out of Costco for the summer stuff. I came in April and there were probably 10 sectional couches for sale all for $ 400 bucks! A steal for sure! You’ll probably find more bargains for larger ticket items than you will for the small nick/​knack stuff, which I found really didn’t come with much of a discount and close to regular pricing. If you are looking for something in particular, it’s best to call and ask them if they have it in inventory before you make a trip over the hill if you don’t live coast side.
Update: I came back in late July knowing that outdoor furniture is starting to show up. I found a great outdoor seating set (couch, 2 chairs, 2 coffee tables) with big plump cushions made from Sunbrella fabric. It was still in the box for 50% off and I negotiated it down to $ 650. It’s awesome and we are thoroughly enjoying it on our deck/​patio.

Antonia is the worst person to deal with. For a minute I thought she is the owner!
Being a regular at the other stores. The warehouse is the most one that got everything but you can not put up with the customer service there!
I rather to go to Costco and pay a full price

I went here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Mainly because my mother wanted to check things out while we were in the area. This warehouse is located in a business area nearby Half Moon Bay. Parking is a breeze since the warehouse itself is kind of in a quiet area.
Once I stepped inside, I felt like it was a Costco flea-​market. A majority of the things in the warehouse are a variety of clothes and items that I suppose were not able to be sold in Costco. It ranges from swimsuits to couches — and even gardening supplies. I skimmed through the entire warehouse and found myself bored. A majority of the things there were not something I needed. To be honest, it felt like thrifting in a Costco. I don’t know any better way to explain that. There are smaller stores on the main road of Half Moon Bay that branch off from this one. But a majority of people recommend to come here because it has a greater variety of things.

Ok, so I’m a total bargain shopper and I don’t mind the challenge of wading through «junk» to find gems. Skipped the electronics and makeup (who knows how old the stuff is and if either of them «work»), as well as some of the other sketchy stuff, but clothing, furniture, and shoes are all game!
We have visited about 3 or 4 times and I have yet to leave empty-​handed. It was a total fluke finding it the first time we visited, as we saw a sign for the warehouse while eating at Mezzaluna.
About two hours later, my husband and I exited with Hunter boots ($ 48 that retail over $ 100), North Face down jackets ($ 75, retail over $ 150), a fancy Cynthia Rowley silk party dress for my 6 year old, a cushioned storage bench plus matching wall coat rack set that I had been lusting for at Costco ($ 350 there) for only $ 175, and even more stuff. There are also obvious Kirkland-​branded items but some of it is obviously damaged/​store returns. I picked up a new purple Electrolux Ergorapido floor vacuum for my parents (as I have the same one and we love it) for ½ the cost ($ 40 instead of Costco’s $ 80 one). I figured I could always return if it didn’t work but it’s been fine.
Subsequent visits have yielded Disney Princess swimsuits and cover-​ups for my girls, Kirkland yoga pants, Ugg knock-​off boots for my girls, some golf brand name shirt (can’t remember the name of the golfer) for my husband, various household/​garage stuff (shovel, ropes, weed stuff, etc.), Simple Human garbage can ($ 49 but it was definitely a customer return as the inside was obviously used but a Clorox wipe cleaned it up nicely!), etc.
Suffice to say, I have had visits where we have two shopping carts full of brand name items for 50% off or more. Too bad we live so far away – otherwise I’d be there every weekend!
We also have stopped by the Twice as Nice stores closer to the 92 but I think the warehouse has the best selection and the big furniture, too.

I still remember the first time I’ve been here. It was in February of 2008. My cousin Bambi, brought me here and showed me what warehouse shopping is. After how many years, I finally got the address through Unilocal and went to check it out again. The stuff are not that really cheap. You can find pretty much everything here from couches, tables, construction needs, to kitchen stuff, gardening materials, clothes, shoes and even candies and chocolates. I will never dare buy those chocolates though. I’m just too scared. :) I always end up buying candles (Glade candle $ 1.49 each compared to $ 3.40 something in Safeway) and toilet paper (the one they are selling in Costco) for $ 15 for 36pcs. That’s a good deal for TP!!!
Of course I wouldn’t drive 45 minutes here just to get TP (i don’t use them that much. I use Tabo! =) That’s too much gas for me but I make sure to swing by and stock up on those whenever I’m in the area.

the wife stumbled across this yesterday while on a bike ride with a friend, and convinced me to go take a look at it. We drove over to the warehouse district behind the airport and checked it out.
DEFINITELY a warehouse. Just packed with nicknacks and general «stuff». While the staff claims that this is stuff from Costco that didn’t sell, I’m VERY confident that it’s also stuff from local merchants that consists of returns, items past their «sell by» date, and excess clothing.
We purchased a few things — I found a mega-​torch with no price. After looking at it, the staff member said «will you pay $ 20?». I agreed. Got home, and there was a return slip from Home Depot in the box from last year — $ 120 light! (works for me).
A few things definitely were bargains — I use STP Oil Treatment in the MG — it’s about a quarter of what I pay elsewhere.
Overall, eclectic «stuff»…you might find a gem or two… but as said by others, I sure as hell wouldn’t buy electronics here (the mind shudders at warranty implications).
