Any of you guys buy anything from the "UCLA Store"?

<p>For all Bruins, you should have gotten some sort of letter saying that the bed-sheets for the dorms are different sizes from normal ones... Did you guys order any from these guys? I don't know if they're legit or not.... or if its even a good deal.</p>

<p>Don’t buy from that, from what I hear, it’s really low quality (that is, if you actually receive the items). I think it’s some company that just pays the school to use the logo.</p>

<p>If you want bed sheets, buy them from Target or something, they’re much cheaper, and as far as I know, better quality too. Just look for XL twin aka 80inches long.

<p>(I actually bought my bed sheets from Bed, Bath & Beyond… Ah… they’re so nice…)</p>

<p>Garbage.</p>

<p>As for the actual UCLA Store in Ackerman, you’ll be suckered into buying overpriced UCLA merchandise soon enough. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>ehhhhh
i ordered the stuff, and to me, it looks completely fine.
then again, i only got it cuz i thought it was an easy way to get all my dorm stuff to match.</p>

<p>i liked it, some people don’t like it. so idk</p>

7

<p>check out costco for linen stuff. i got a kit that had a laundry hamper, xl sheet set, xl blanket, xl quilt, and a set of towels for $60</p>

8

<p>The stuff may look fine, but has low durability (colors bleed, can’t take many washes, etc.).</p>

<p>Just go to Target or BB&B.</p>

9

<p>I priced things a la carte from Bed Bath and Beyond, and the catalog prices were only a little bit cheaper.</p>

10

<p>^ Quality makes the difference. Though if you want inexpensive items, try Target.</p>

11

<p>My mom bought from that, but the items weren’t horrible or anything. I’m a third year now and everything is still in good condition. However, I suggest avoiding it because it’s freaking expensive.</p>

12

<p>DO NOT BUY THE STUPID BEDSHEETS. I thought the dorm beds were some custom size, so I just got them. The quality sucks, and the price is unreasonable.</p>

13

<p>Got it. Mods can close thread.</p>

14

<p>As for buying UCLA merchandise from the store at Ackerman Union, wait until school starts and they do a sale!</p>

15

<p>what kind of mom would allow their kids to buy the catalog sheets? i didnt know much but my mom easily knew it was a ripoff + scam.</p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>Same question for why people would buy books from the UCLA store when they can look up books online and get them for cheaper.</p>

<p>I think people have money to throw around …</p>
