Surprise Bins

Surprise Bins is a bin and liquidation store at 12013 W Thunderbird Rd, Suite A, in El Mirage, Arizona, tagged as an Amazon bin store.

What you'll find

The Amazon bin store tag points to merchandise drawn from returns and liquidated overstock. Shops in this category generally unload that stock into large bins, skip the sorting and set one price per item for the day, so the fun and the work are both in the dig. Since loads vary, the assortment is different every time, and condition can run from factory-sealed to well worn. A quick look at each piece before checkout saves surprises at home. No phone number or website is listed; the store's Facebook page is the only contact on record.

When to go & what it costs

Friday opens the listed cycle at $15 per item, with hours of 9AM-7PM, and Saturday follows at $10 with the same hours. Sunday falls to $5 (9AM-4PM). Monday is $3, Tuesday $2 and Wednesday $1, each listed 9AM-6PM. Thursday is listed as closed. That pattern mirrors the general bin-store rhythm of pricing highest when the bins are fullest. The prices and hours are as listed and may change, so check the Facebook page or confirm with the store before you go.
