Goodwill Store & Donation Center

Honestly this is one of my favorite thrift stores it’s filled with pretty good stuff and it’s pretty organized .,.

This is one of my favorite goodwills. I go here pretty often, one to two times a week. I swear an English major or professor keeps donating books. I keep finding Toni Morrison, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and other awesome authors here. The clothes are so cute but the shoes are alright. The employees are nice. Really great goodwill!

This is probably the worst goodwill I went to before, the selection sucked, then when I asked for a fitting room this old white lady with dark hair and a white spot on it rudely screamed at that they’d open it for me then no one came, they should put that her in the back make her a processor or something, because you ain’t got no people skills, I can understand someone acting that way if they were trying to recover there area then I’m like making a mess or something. But yeah this store sucks

Stop by to donate a bag of my unused clothes and went in since I was curious. Employees aren’t friendly and even talk bad about customers in front of customers. Stumbled upon a new target tote and the original clearance tag from target was $ 13.xx and goodwill price is $ 14.xx LOL. Everything is ridiculously overpriced. What a shame.

Who likes going through tons and tons of stuff to find some really good buys???
Goodwill’s in general are not for the OCD folk. Imagine this to be like going to an indoor garage sale, but in the same location day after day after day. Can’t really expect an employee of the store to let you know if they have a very specific, very detailed item. I recommend that if you wanted to purchase something with 2^nd hand stores in general, that you keep the topics vague and list the departments instead.
«I need a 3 tier, reclaimed wood stool with a dark finish please!» — Yeah no, ask where they keep their Furniture instead.
Intuition tells me that the Anaheim Goodwill location may be a HUB for the Orange County area. It’s really much bigger than any other type of Goodwill of its kind. The high industrial ceilings really give the inside a very open warehouse feel — which I like because lets face it, it can get a little messy and if there was one way Goodwill could offset that claustrophobic feeling, it would be with its nice high ceilings.
SIDE NOTE: We must all remember that that this is a Goodwill store, so the items you’ll find are used, and there probably is very little rhyme or reason to the merchandising of their stuff — but PEOPLE — we must remember that the bigger picture is that most of the proceeds received from Goodwill Purchases are going to those in need other than the employees that help keep operating the location.
Therefore, remember that anything you buy will be ‘As-​Is’… *sigh*

So I figured I give this place a try looked pretty good and clean from outside. I went in to check it out and excited to find some good finds. I’ve never been into this thrift store or any other one in ages. I asked the lady who worked there how all the colored tags work? She’s turns me and says «Well first of all there are signs right here on top» and with attitude. I was shocked! I said to her Wow! That was really rude! I couldn’t believe it I just started boiling. I said yes and the sign says how much purple tags are not the other colors! Your just rude. She retracted saying let me explain.
HAHAHAHA I said no thank you, please don’t! I can’t believe my first time ever coming in here and that’s how I’m treated! I walked up told the manager up front and she just said okay I’ll talk to her. Sorry… That was it! I’d rather pay full price then deal with people like that.

I have visited a lot of Goodwill stores, and this one is pretty high on my list! It is large, with wide aisles, easy to move around in, and they work hard to keep keep it clean and organized! The staff was really nice and helpful, and I enjoyed checking out almost as much as I enjoyed shopping! This is a great store!

Okay honestly not a very good goodwill. The employees weren’t very friendly and everything seemed super overpriced. The selection was a bit lame too. Let’s just say I’m never going back

Ok, let me just say, I have spent many years shopping at goodwill but things seem to have gone south. It is possible that it may be just this store, BUT, the customer service experience is not up to par. If Goodwill is going to create jobs for people, they need to put them through a proper training course on how to treat their guests. No excuse for poor training when money accumulated comes from 100% donations. All the items are OVERPRICED, for being used, worn out goods, too. With all that money coming in to fund their work program, they need to put more effort into a proper training program, so that these individuals gain valuable preparation going out into the working world.
I have had multiple bad experiences with this location, but today in particular was a very unpleasant experience. Sally, at the front counter, absolutely does NOT belong in the front interacting with guests. First rudely she calls me up, as if I was just an annoyance to her. Then, she takes about 3 minutes to actually give me eye contact and start ringing me up, and then when she actually does start ringing me up, she rings up a piece of clothing incorrectly. This «said» piece of clothing may or may not have been a dress. But, I told her that I found it in the shirt section, simple observation, nothing more. But she has the nerve to argue back with me that it was a dress, as if she hadn’t heard a word I just said. As if I have any reason to lie to her about where I found it. This piece of clothing was in the shirt section and was too short to be a dress. Whether its a dress or not, she should hear what I am telling her. But she obviously didn’t care or consider that her or one of her associates may have put it in the wrong section.
Anyway, rather than waste my energy on the rude girl, I let her ring it up as a dress. I am sure I am not going to be the first to experience her poor attitude. I hope someone else recognizes this and puts her in the back, she is a poor representation of the company.

I go to this particular Goodwill once a year and I always like browsing around. Not only is there plenty of used clothing and shoes, there is also a great assortment of household stuff and tchotchkes galore!
As you enter the doors there is a decent sized section of «new» items that are heavily discounted. It’s like they must get donations from stores that over bought or store items that didn’t sell. There’s wrapping paper, stationary, seasonal items, etc. Also, this part of the store contains quite a bit of furniture.
The employees here are GREAT! They are always so completely friendly and interested in what I am purchasing. Staff seem happy to be working, a great feature when out shopping.
This store is very organized and not all crammed to the gils like a lot of thrift stores are. It’s a nice large location so that’s probably easier to keep cleaner and more appealing.
I wish this store were closer to home, I would visit more than once or twice a year. But you can guarantee that on my annual shopping day, it’s always on my list.
Great job Goodwill!
CHEERS!

I was told they stopped taking donations at 6:00 pm. I arrived at the back of the store where they take donations at 5:55 and the metal door was down. I sat there in my car and called the store at 5:56 to confirm that they do in fact stop taking donations at 6:00pm but it wasn’t 6:00pm just yet. The metal door began to open at 6:01, I unloaded my 4 bags of donations and received my receipt at 6:03. It only took 2 minutes.
1 star for the cashier inside who was helpful and friendly. 0 stars to the lady outside in the back who reluctantly took my donation. She was rather rude in that short amount of time. In all my years or donating, i have never met an unfriendly worker or volunteer.
This was my first time donating at this location and it will definitely be my last.

Insanely overpriced!!! The worst part is the cashiers are jerks. They don’t have price tags on clothing so you have to rely on the price listed on the racks they are hanging on. I took out 10 t-​shirts from the men’s rack. I don’t even enter a women’s section ever! After over one hour I go to the register to be told by some rude twit employee that the t shirts I got aren’t the $ 1.99 shirts. They are $ 4.99 shirts! Well how would I know this if they are all hanging on the $ 1.99 rack.? I wouldn’t even look on a $ 4.99 rack! Then she tells me they are womens shirts and that’s why they cost more. Sooo. you mean to tell me a t shirt with mickey mouse marked medium is a women’s t shirt? How does this twit determine if they are womens and why would a women’s cost more. It’s a plain old t shirt. Not to mention she tells me 8 out of my 10 t shirts are on the wrong rack and she’s sorry! So I proceed to complain a little since I just spent over an hour to be told none of my items are on the correct rack. I wasn’t about to waste another second speaking to this twit and I walked out one hour and a half later covered in dust with zero purchases. Having to rely on twits to price the clothing is not working! Charging $ 4.99 for a so called womens t shirt which is really a unisex! F off goodwill! You will notice prices here are marked higher than the clearance tag that is on them. This place is a joke. 60% of product is from Target clearance. Do they purchase it from Target or is it donated? Savers is even cheaper than Goodwill now. I’ll never donate here again and I’ll never go to another Goodwill as long as I have a brain!

good deals and good stuff you can always find something. no complaints and awesome clothes, its also pretty big, more than most. loved it!!! will definitely come again!!!

Goodwill makes me cringe a little, especially after reading that they pay their disabled employees less than minimum wage.
This place is not on my list of regular thrift stores that I like to visit.
Parking can be a little hit or miss depending on what time you go.
Once in a while my mother drags me here. She’s a big fan of the new merchandise that is donated from big stores. It’s on those rare occasions that I venture inside.
I’ve found a couple of cool things to add to my vintage hoard like old timey time glass Christmas tree ornaments and a pair of 1950’s alligator heels.
Their prices can be a bit high. I’m not sure what their prices are based on. A lot of times, I’d rather pay a few more dollars and get it new on Amazon.
Considering the volume of folks going in and out if the store, it’s pretty clean. The cashiers are quick and friendly.

I really enjoy shopping at this store when I’m in town but there is a store manager by the name of Gabby that can really turn your bright day blue. The way she was talking to an employee was just disgusting. Store is great but the personnel needs help.

This is by far my favorite Goodwill Store! It is the biggest I’ve ever seen! I love bargains shopping so digging a little deeper does not bother me. Yes the store could look like it has been through a tornado but I blame customers for not putting things back where they got it. I also blame parents for letting their kids run around the store grabbing all their stuff and throwing it everywhere. I think the staff is great and they always say hi to me. Maybe it’s because they see me very often and know who I am. Daniel always greets me and ask how I am doing. Alright onto the stuff. Sometimes they have their days when you cannot find anything but other days, I come out with 6 bags of things. I love it when they have their 20 items for $ 1 deals. These deals contain items from the Target dollar section. This is a great deal especially for teachers. I stock up on all these items to fill my treasure chest for the kids. My students do well in school, listen, do their work, etc… and therefore, they get to choose something. I’ve found some good clothes and other knick knacks here too.
Every week, they have a color tag that is 50% off. For example, every Friday, they have a new color on display. If the tag says GREEN, everything that has a sticker mark of a green tag is 50% off. That is an awesome deal! I try to go every friday because that is the first day if a new color and those items have not been touched. I guess everyone waits for the 50% off mark. PINK is hardly ever on their because that is their most expensive item. Lots of things from TARGET, my other favorite store!
Overall, I come here when I can because I love finding a good deal! I also love donating my things here too. Drive through the back and drop off your stuff!
NOTE:
–Color tags change every Friday (50% off)
–Sign up email– they send coupons
–Great for holiday shopping (Halloween, Christmas… etc.)
–Accept exchanges of electronics: 7 days (store credit)
–Dressing rooms available

I liked how big, new, modern, well-​lit and spacious this location is but I couldn’t find any shirts in my size. If you are a big or tall guy you will probably have good luck finding something. They have a large volume of clothes and the housewares seemed alright but I’m sticking to the Fullerton Goodwills.

I pop in here on occasion just to see whats on the shelves. I like the adventure factor. Plus a deal is a deal. But yesterday I was on a mission to find a (replacement) CD player.
My old Sony 5 disc died. RIP, and I still haven’t x-​ferred all my old CD’s to MP3 yet. Got a few hundred to go. But I didn’t want to burn ‘em all on my PC’s player so I thought I’d see if I could get a cheap player at Goodwill.
Walked in with little hope of finding something decent and to my surprise there were several that fit the bill. I ended up with a Phillips 5 disc changer with remote for $ 5 dollars. F**K yea! My old Sony probably cost me $ 150+ and this one was even better. Only problem was there was no way to test it. Not a problem as I found out that they have a 24hr return policy… COOL! I got it home and it worked perfect.
I also picked up a large dog bowl for my girl’s water. My bitch don’t care if its used. And I also got a couple of oven proof crocks for $ 1 ea that I used to make some delish French Onion Soup in last night.
Goodwill was good to me!
I usually donate my stuff to the Salvation Army but maybe I need to return the favor.

This review is for the Donation Center only — never been in the store.
I deliver donation items here several times a year. I would rather donate items, feel good about helping a charitable organization, and get the tax deduction — instead of the hassle, haggling and frustration of a yard sale.
They have good hours, and take donations 7 days a week. I may have been lucky, but have never had to wait to drop off items. In and done, in about 5 minutes.
You drive around the back of the shopping center to their small loading dock at the rear of the store. The door has always been open, and there has always been a worker in the area. That’s a good thing — at some places I have been, you need to park, go in the front door and get someone to call someone to open the back door to receive the donation.
Unloading onto the little dock is easy — then the attendant takes them from there. The attendants just take your donations and ask you if you want a receipt. No problem! Some places will start to pick through the stuff and ask questions — trying to decide if they should take it — have never had that happen here. Attendants have always been friendly and helpful.
I am not sure about their policy regarding big furniture items — haven’t tried.
Recycling, donating used goods — highly recommended activities that are good for the environment, society, and can be financially as well as personally rewarding.

This is one of the biggest Goodwills in the area. There are aisles and aisles of houseware amongst the clothes and all your usual thrift store selections. Lots of toys and other items donated from Target. The color coding of the clothes is a pain when you only need to see your size and end up having to sort through everyone else’s sizes too. A big store like this could take forever to sort through every rack to find something that you both like and is your size. Depending on how much time you’re willing to invest, you could really find a deal here.
