Salvation Army The

As a thrifter by choice, I shop almost weekly; I don’t understand the poor reviews. The prices seemed a bit high, but every SA I have been too prices for half off day. They are high everywhere.
I spent a few hours there today and found the store to be clean, large and well organized. The employees were helpful and very friendly.
I found this to be worth the trip.

Pants should be a requirement to enter the store.
While parking, I saw several men getting out of their cars and buttoning up their pants… Ew.
Some employees bumping into me like I wasn’t even visible…
Just not a good feeling to have people stare you down as you walk around.

Scheduled a pickup of a loveseat this morning, a Saturday– nothing fancy just an IKEA loveseat that I had no room after moving for, but in good shape. Had the mvers put it in the 1 car garage since I knew I was giving it away, but blocking the garage so was eager to get rid of it today finally to park in the garage.
Got an automated call yesterday with the standard between 8am and about 3pm (almost all day window), and that you will get a call in the morning with a 2 hour window. No problem, I figured by the time the driver left the dispatch etc it’d be 9/10−12ish window since I am all the way west of this store.
No call this morning with any window and no warning. Instead, get a voicemail at 8:35am that no one was home so the truck had left and that you have to reschedule your pickup. I call back and the people were very rude and said they called and rang the bell and no one was home 9 minutes earlier. I said sir, I am home, and I did not just come home 9 minutes later at 8:30am on a Saturday morning. I have no calls from you before the one saying they missed me and no one was home, no one rang any doorbell, and I never got a call with any 2 hour window– someone just showed up randomly on a early Saturday morning. You cannot expect people to be home all day waiting for you with no window of time, or for a truck to show up unannounced at 8:25am on a Saturday morning.
They don’t seem to care and said we’re sorry you have to reschedule for Thursday (a work day). I explained that I cannot leave furniture outside by my HOA rules, didnt care. Well sir you are rescheduled for Thursday that is all I can do, the driver is «long gone to his next donation.»
Long gone some 8 minutes later? How fast does this truck go? It doesn’t seem like they care about the donation at all. The driver surely could have swung back today sometime and gotten it; seeing as they are making 100% of the profit off of the donations.
I will not donate anything else to this organization if they make it this difficult to try to help out and donate. I will instead now disassemble the couch, put the pieces in my car, and bring it to the dump as I need it out of my garage so I can park there. Their loss honestly.

I saw multiple suitcases priced above $ 50 that were approximately $ 30 new at Target.
I really don’t think I need to go any further, do I?
OH. I also saw a 56K modem for $ 15.
Now I’m done.

Most expensive Salvation Army I’ve ever been in. The merchandise was nothing all that special so I don’t understand the jacked up prices. They were selling a yellow saints candle in not so great condition for $ 2.99. They cost less new at Target or Publix. That was pretty much how all pricing went, would not bother going back.

This was my first stop on my first thrift shopping hunt in FLL and I was impressed by what I found — so much so that I didn’t even bother with the other stores planned for that day. People, clothes are organized by category (jeans/​shorts/​jackets etc)! Why on earth would it be by size? These are not sorted by buyers — it’s a thrift shop! Boutiques are on Las Olas. Good Lord.
But what a treasure hunt! I found classic work dresses and glitzy party outfits. And for those who said the clothes were overpriced… let’s keep them in the dark… everything is 50% off on Wednesdays! Oh, and a shout out to the staff who work hard to keep clothes hung neatly on the racks, despite the heavy shopper traffic.

not as good as the one on pines and university, but definetly a good thirft store. I love thirfing here. Recently found a pair of Tori Burch flats for $ 6 and a brand new pair of Tom’s for $ 5. a great find. Love finding gems like these. If you love thirft stores and in the area you must stop in to browse.

Not kind of organization to find sizes. Colors is about the only order of things. I never really find anything here. Also most clothes are about two dollars overpriced. I think I am removing the place from my list. Only three dressing rooms.

Sucks, skip it. I am a thrifting pro, and this store is an over-​priced un-​organized mess.
They sort clothing by color, not by size, need I say more?

I found a shirt for two bucks not bad, but there is something in the store or on the clothes that made my allergies go nuts. Funny people and funny smells.
