What Actually Are Factory Outlets?

Factory Outlets are a physical or online location where manufacturers or stockists can sell their products directly to the public. Many Factory Outlet stores are used to sell products that are seconds – or not quite perfect. Perhaps the colour isn’t right, or there might be some small fault – but if you can look past that – you can grab a really good deal – some up to 90% off!

Factory Outlets aren’t just a modern idea. They have actually been around for over a century. Old school Factory Outlets used to be located next to the actual factory the goods were made in. These outlets were used as a way for locals to buy imperfect, slightly damaged or overstock.

These days factory outlets are usually located all together in one location – and this makes it a ‘destination’ for shoppers wanting to get a bargain. Think of the DFO stores! The problem with physical outlet stores is that people outside the area can’t shop there! So with many going online now (like the following list) everyone can take advantage of the deals!

Let’s look at all the Factory Outlets we could find here in Australia:

General Goods Discount Outlet Stores:

Like a Department Store – but a Factory Outlet – and online. Many of these businesses are in the business of buying seconds and over-stock to sell to the public at discounted prices.

Ozsale

Ozsale releases daily deals from huge name brands – and it changes every day. But if you need linen, designer clothing, electronics, beauty products, furniture or kids stuff – it is certainly worth checking out Ozsale and seeing what is on sale. Their really fantastic deals sell out quickly though so it’s the kind of website you have to check regularly!

Catch

Catch (formerly Catch of the Day) is like what Amazon SHOULD be here in Australia. They have everything you can think of – and they are so cheap! They have daily specials too to get extra discounts.

Crazy Sales put together discounts and offer them to you saving up to 80% off the recommended retail price. It is one of Australia’s largest online department stores and is 100% Australian owned and operated.

Costco

I love Costco – now they don’t have online services YET but I do hear they are thinking about it. To shop at Costco you do need to be a member which is about $65 (you join up directly at the front desk) – and some of their stuff is cheap.

Home and Decor, Bedding & Manchester Outlet Stores:

Sheridan Outlet

If you love Sheridan (and who doesn’t!) – but don’t like the prices – check out their outlet. The Sheridan Outlet has items that are ‘Just less than perfect’ – and I have purchased loads of things from here and it looks damn near perfect to me! Great for luxurious sheets, duck down doona’s, fluffy towels and loungewear. Plus if you sign up to their newsletter – you can get 10 – 15% off the already discounted price!

Ozsale

Ozsale has different sales every day and quite often they have great deals on bedding and manchester. I’ve seen brands such as Sheridan and Morrisey come up – you just have to check back regularly as they only have limited stock and they go very fast!
