Goodwill

Obsessed!
I stopped by a week ago after I had dropped off some donations. I browsed for about 20 minutes, and ended up buying two Anthropologie dresses for $ 9 each, a jacket from London Fog for $ 10, an Armani blazer for $ 12, and a pair of Citizens jeans for $ 8. Insanity. I’ve been back three times since then, and when I stopped by today, got a surprise 25% off (just because it was Tuesday). This is the second review I’ve ever written, but I have to let people know how incredible this place is.
Take your time looking through the racks. Stop by the boutique section for higher end designers (Burberry, etc.). Incredible deals, and very nice staff.
Only bad thing? Right now, their radio is set to play constant Christmas music. That’s not deterring me though!
Keep it up Goodwill!

This is a great Goodwill store. They always have great selections of furniture items and accessories for women. The book selections are also growing. Probably because everyone is reverting to digital pads. Books are always better IMO. You really need to know when to visit these stores to find great items for a bargain. Yeah, they’re used, I mean, vintage. Lol But they are typically still great products at affordable prices. I like that as soon as items are donated there’s someone hauling them into the store and setting them up immediately for sale. I scored a great buy because of this. The donation line was pretty long this evening, but it went by quickly. People were in and out in no time. I am certainly going to be a regular at this location.

Why do people keep clothes they don’t wear, and haven’t for years, clothes that fit a past life but could instead be enjoyed by someone right now?
Not surprisingly, this being the season of gratitude and kindness, the Glebe road Goodwill had a serious line of cars today, with some folks productively spending their day off clearing out their closets and ridding their place before aunt Erika arrives.
This is one of the rare places where you can donate in the Our line of 10+ cars moved through in about 5 minutes, and I was greeted by a friendly and efficient team member. After handing over my donations, I got a receipt for tax deductions. Easy peasy!
I prefer Goodwill over other donation-​driven charities because of their emphasis on helping hard to employ people get back to work. Because of our donations, Goodwill has put almost 300,000 people back to work in 2015 alone! Anyone who is familiar with barriers to re-​entry to the workforce after incarceration knows this is no small feat.
It’s the season for giving, and it’s cold and wet. Do you have anything that could help a neighbor live a little more comfortably? Please consider donating to Goodwill.

I waited until I’d had a few experiences here to write a review, and all in all it depends what time you go.
Their drop off is very efficient, I’ve found later in the weekday evenings there’s no one in line. On the weekend forget about it, line is way too long. I won’t rate down for this though, because all the donations become a positive when you shop there. I have found a lot of pieces for Halloween costumes in the past and saw a fair amount of J. Crew, The Limited, and Banana Republic clothing and Cole Haan shoes last time I was there, unfortunately nothing in my size as is the luck of the draw at any thrift store. Of course mixed in with cheaper clothing. I did find a Dooney and Bourke purse for $ 16 though, so I’ll call it a win!
Most of the pricing is on point, some random shoes and paintings were overpriced in my opinion, clothing is the same as every other goodwill, but like I said luck of the draw.
The one downside is I have always had to wait in line while checking out, for over 10 min, that’s a bit long, open more registers please!

This review is only for their drop off location. It is pretty good, you drive up and give them your stuff. You get a receipt and drive off. Good and effective. Sometimes their is a line but it usually moves pretty quickly!

Easy location to get to. Went when there was a long donation line but the workers made sure the cars were moving along quickly. I appreciated that they weren’t picky with what they took since I went to a different location and they were picky there. I’d love to come back and see what they have for sale inside the store! Donate today!

I scored on 2 bikes for my kids. Both looked brand new. Will visit again to see if I can find more goodies.

This place is «hit or miss,» I may find one or two really great items. If I have errands in the area, it is worth a visit.

I’m so fortunate this location is around the corner from my place. I’ve never been inside to shop. I hear you’ll find amazing items.
I’m here to donate two bags of clothes. Efficient and friendly volunteers. I’ve never had a problem. There’s always a line of cars waiting to donate items though. Have patience.

This is one of the better Goodwills in the area. I love it and have gotten some great things there. Stuff is in better shape, and less picked-​over, than other Goodwills. I strongly recommend for the up-​and-​coming, suit-​wearing set.

I had to update my review. I recently stopped to to look for some inexpensive glass bowls and was appalled at the HIGH PRICES! I stop at various Goodwill stores and this one had the highest prices I have seen. The housewares items were astronomical and the clothes also… I can get things at TJ Maxx or a consignment store for less… This is a nonprofit store where everything is donated and to top it off not as well vetted as a consignment store or new like a discounters… come n what are you thinking? I will still drop of my donations at this location for the convenience but will hesitate on dealing with the parking and difficult intersection to pay for overpriced donated items… btw I later on that evening went to the store in crossroads center. similar items for much cheaper I left with an Eileen Fisher sweater for $ 5 and a silver plated platter for aprox $ 6…I will be bypassing this store and go there from now on.

Baby clothes are more expensive here than other Goodwill locations and there wasn’t a good selection when I visited. Other than that, this appears to be a standard Goodwill; it looks nice on the outside and has a career center where they have job skills training. I like to see my dollars making a difference and it’s encouraging to see that here.

It used to be easy to donate at this location, but it’s now a nightmare because they’re overly rigid about their system. I came by to donate one bag of goods today, and found an enormous line of cars waiting in the donation queue (seriously, about 40 cars in front of me, moving at a snail’s pace). After waiting 10 minutes, I parked, got out of the car, and started walking to the donation area with my single bag to donate. They stopped me and told me they wouldn’t accept it if I didn’t wait in the car line. I pointed out that it makes no sense to have a policy that makes it harder for people to donate, and that there was little incentive to wait in a line of cars for 30 minutes to donate something, and they told me «that’s our policy.» (Which makes me wonder if they’d refuse someone who walked there rather than driving.)
If they’re going to stick to that system, they need to figure out how to make the line move faster.

I’m a thrift store junkie, but this Goodwill is a miss for me.
1. Biggest problem of the store? Parking it definitely needs to get bigger paring, I have come here a few times and it’s always hard to find parking.
2. Terrible to donate here, they overprice things that should not be overpriced, found a chair priced at $ 35 when it was likely bought for much less, found a video game system for $ 30 that was in bad condition with no wires. Goodwill needs to price accordingly, not smack on random numbers for prices.
Well hopefully they get their sh*t together and help the community… I’m heading back to Unique.

Nothing short than a miracle to get a parking space but I like this store. It has it’s host of fine wears.

I realized this place is terrible when I donated an Ikea chair that cost $ 25 new, stopped in a couple weeks later and there is my chair with a $ 45 price tag. I also found a used motorcycle helmet for $ 175 (a quick google search showed it was $ 65 new and it was 10 years old)
Sure the clothes are cheap, but the furniture prices are outrageous. but low income people rely on this place for deals. Maybe Goodwill should start to price accordingly and help out the community they claim to serve.

One of the boy and I’s side hobbies is making it rain at the local Goodwill. This particular resale shop is one of my favorites because:
1) It is attached to a donation center so you can drop off your junk before filling your car up with more junk (TREASURES) inside
2) Somebody with amazing music taste died and donated all of their vinyls to this particular shop. When I say amazing, I use that term lightly. I have very eclectic music taste so if you are into Whitney Houston, Wham, Lionel Ritchie and bluegrass this is *SO* your store (and please be my best friend too!)
3) This place does not make me sneeze like other thrift stores

Uh, hello? Can someone say brand spanking new Cole Haan moccasins that retail for $ 175 found at this store today in my size for $ 10?
I bought those and three other pairs of shoes for the kids for a whopping $ 25.
I’m a believer.

I personally didn’t find anything too special at this Goodwill.
It was nice that they have a play area for kids because I have noticed that a lot of people who frequent thrift stores have children.
The store itself seems a little small. Very limited selection of housewares. There seemed to be a decent sized selection for men. Not much or any furniture.

Very easy to donate items. Check their website before you go since they don’t accept everything. I went with a couple of huge bags of clothes and they had a semi parked in their parking lot with a bunch of volunteers. They took them from me and loaded them directly in the back and gave me a blank receipt. Wow, that was easy!
Wandered inside and found a dollar store vibe, and about the same sorts of treasures. Most of the electronics are very old and dirty. Furniture is the same. While ikea is now junk, it at least doesn’t look like junk when you first buy it.
The best buys here are the books, which range in price depending on size, not condition.
