Dorm Stuff - A Shopping Experience

When it comes to shopping for your college dorm stuff, you'll find that your store options are often limited. Dorm Co on the other hand brings you the perfect combination of personable retailer and big retail cheap pricing and selection.

Prior to Dorm Co your shopping options to dorm stuff generally fell into one of two categories.

1) Big Box Retailers - These include all your well known stores such as Target, Bed Bath, Wal-Mart etc. These stores are MEGA brands. You'll find that they jump into selling dorm stuff for 2 months then pull out as fast as they got in. They are truly only about making the fast sale. This often means their selection is limited and since they cater to the generic shopper they only carry the very basics. You won't find staff that knows college dorms (unless by chance) and you certainly won't be able to create a unique dorm room. What these stores do well is marketing. They lead you to think they carry dorm stuff, but upon entering their store you are left having to visit several other stores. Sometimes their pricing is very good, but often it is no better than online options and they are certainly not lower (better valued) than Dorm Co. In the end these stores will always be present, but due to their size, they can't take risks by carrying products that make your dorm room unique.

2) Small Online Stores - Often these online stores fall into two categories. They are either over-priced stores trying to make a fast buck on those going to college or they are average priced, inexperienced stores, that do care about dorm rooms, but simply lack the ability to sell everything you need for your dorm room. Often these stores carry products that don't quite fit for dorm life. The stores mean well, but unlike the big retailers they just are not able to provide products that make sense for college. Whether over-priced furniture or comforters better suited for your aunt, these stores have items but they don't quite line up to what you really need for your dorm. Service at these stores is often limited as well.
