Goodwill

I go to this goodwill about once in a month, its very pricey as compared to other thrift stores i have ever been to. Some of the target clearance stuff comes to this store but the price at goodwill is around 50% of the target price which you can always get in target with the frequent promotion target offers. Sometimes you can find good stuff here but most of the time its overpriced and very unorganized.

It’s Goodwill! it’s always going to be a hit or miss… I found what I needed there (a glass measuring cup), especially something you know you don’t need to buy brand new! I got the item for my candle making project for $ 5! What a steal!

When I feel in a Charitable mood, I like to take my Donation to this Goodwill. The Clerks at this Goodwill are Friendly and Efficient. They process donations very fast. Goodwill does a lot to help the Community in general .
This Goodwill also has a Showroom and if you collect things you can find a Bargain on Occasion. Prices run on the high side.

I enjoy going to Goodwill stores and I must say that this store is one of the best stores I have seen as far as items being organized. The store is pretty clean as well. The workers are friendly and helpful, especially a young lady with short blonde hair.

I love goodwill shopping and I’ve been to so many. Every time my husband has out of town trips, I see to it I visit 2 – 3 goodwill stores along the way.
To be honest, though this store is already overpricing, there are others too. BUT, this is the most unorganized overpricing goodwill I’ve ever been. Sure, the guy employee with the turban greeted me and complimented me with the stuff I got but when I’m about to pay for the items, like the wallet, «wow this is nice but it’s not $ 4.99 it’s $ 7.99» so I said, «well that’s the price I saw. And it’s used.» So he charged me 4.99. I got a tank top that doesn’t have a price, he charged it $ 7.99 but the other tanks I got were only $ 3.99. (I didn’t complain). lastly, i got these shoes for $ 10.99 (I noticed some of their shoes had price stickers that was covered with a black marker and has another price sticker with out markers. So I think they probably marked them down.) he said that my shoes is $ 15.99 and not $ 10.99 (which is the visible price) because it’s Nine West. I said that’s not fair. Other shoes also have the price stickers with markers and it seemed the price for lowered to regardless of the brand. So he didn’t have a choice but to price it 10.99
Clearly, he expects that everything from their goodwill has high pricing.
Did I say the store is very unorganized? You don’t know where to look for what. Sucks.
(I’ll post the pic of the shoe with covered price stickers somewhere around here)

I used to come by once in a while to check out they stuffs they get brand new from Target. But recently, they priced those items at ridiculous prices!!! I could have just gone to Target for them and don’t need to put up with the people’s attitudes here.
It’s a hit or a miss, I’ve encountered some really nice workers here in the past, but not recently. There’s one time I saw a nice kid’s jacket without a price, I went to the counter, a women who looked like the manager was rude when I asked how much the jacket would be. She rudely said «$ 15!!», as she was busy chit chatting with another worker. Another time, I worker yelled at me for touching something she said wasn’t for sale and for display only. It wasn’t a biggie, I wouldn’t have mind if she politely said it instead of shouting «you’re not supposed to touch that! They’re not for sale, they’re on display items!» Or at least put signs up and don’t just assume I knew they were on sale.

I went here to today to drop off some donations and the service was horrible. The man that helped was not welcoming at all. I only had 3 bags of donations and a couple picture canvases that were in great condition. He went through one of my bags and looked at me and asked «Would YOU buy this?» Also, when I mentioned I had some pictures he went to look at them in my trunk and just took one glance and said nope we can’t take that or this or that. Everything he denied was is great condition too. I do not recommend dropping off donations here at all!

This place is seriously a joke. I cant believe the people «working» (or in their case NOT working) there even get a paycheck. I have donated here several times because it is close to my house and every time I have had a problem. Two things are guaranteed no matter what time you come to the donation center -#1– NOBODY will be there to assist you. #2 — when someone does show up, you will get an earful of attitude.
Donation #1 — Waited 5 minutes for someone to show up at the donation area– I had about 7 heavy bags of stuff and was struggling to carry them and prop the door open with my foot, jump in, and try to keep it all in my arms — 2 «employees» were standing there awkwardly staring at me jumble stuff without even asking if I need help!
Donation #2 — I had houseware goods that were in working condition that they refused to take for no reason? they made me take them back (why donate at all?!)
Donation #3 — Again, nobody in the donation area despite me yelling «HELLO!!!» multiple times. They pre-​signed all the receipts and left them on the table, so i assume they want us to do it ourselves?! After waiting 10 minutes and my husband and I trying to track someone down, we finally decided to do the employees job for them. We unloaded all our stuff, and ripped a receipt off to take home. While taking the receipt, the lazy employee FINALLY shows up, but only to scream and patronize us that we cant take a receipt by ourselves. I yelled back «then maybe you should actually be here to do your job so we don’t have to!» and left. Unbelievable.
Donation #4 — Nobody in the donation area, wait 5 minutes, someone shows up and awkwardly stares at me unloading the car by myself again without even so much as an offer to help.
Inside, the prices are a joke too. I can’t believe they can get away with selling things so expensive at a THRIFT store, does anyone else see the irony in that? I hope I never have to go there again.

The customer service here is always awesome. The staff is friendly, helpful, and you can tell they really hard. Goodwill will never be super organized and tidy because of the nature of their business– so you should have realistic expectations when shopping here or any thrift store for that matter.
I can’t really complain about their assortment since it’s not in their control, but I’ll admit I don’t always find what I’m looking for.
Overall, I’ll continue to come to this convenient location because the positive attitudes and decent selection of used and like-​new products.
Keep up the great work guys!

I don’t see why some of the reviews are this negative because each time i come in to this goodwill (which is the best one) they are always so organized and the staff there is so friendly. The one girl with short hair i think her name was Dina? Not too sure ill ask next time, but she was beyond helpful helping me find out a price on an item that didn’t have a tag on it. I plan to come back to this one just because of how nice the staff was.

This was the second and last time I will take my donations here. I went in and said I had a donation, just one box that was too cumbersome for me (über prego) to carry. The lady working there said she was alone and couldn’t do it. So fine, i will go somewhere else and i left. Upon following me outside asking how big the box was, insisting that she couldn’t do it, asked to see the box. So i show her. Then argues with me saying, well, how did you get it in here then? If you could get it here then why cant you help me get it out? Then mutters something about «a damn shame» and takes the box anyway. Btw, I didn’t get it in there, i had my husband put it in there. Super rude. Simple: Take the donation or don’t, i didn’t come there for an argument. I will never go back there again.

I was walking in the front door. Somebody was pregnant and she wanted to donate some stuff. She had a box of things in her car. The employee here won’t help her. You put the box inside? You should be able to carry it in? Talk about excellent customer service. Don’t forget to mention about the outrageous prices! I don’t have to shop here! I can go to Wal-​Mart or Target? Look at the picture! They have stuff donated from Target and check out their outrageous prices!

Non profit store selling fake counterfeit designer bags and making profit! They have old out of style designer dress for $ 69 and up ! News flash your a second hand store. It’s just till matter of time that they will get a fat fine. The staff there needs some real customer service training. One girl with short blonde hair was very rude.

Worst thrift store in Fremont. Women’s clothing mixed in with men’s clothing and really high prices!!!
Also the way the merchandise is displayed it looks more like a flea market clutter store than a thrift store

We stopped by here twice when we went to Yogurtland next door and both times, we walked out empty handed. It’s not very organize and they have some very rude employees here! There’s a man that works there that keeps following us around making us feel like we’re stealing. He keeps making sure that my 10 year old son stays with me and reminds everyone not to open packages. Uggh!!! I never had been to any stores that does that to customers. We definitely will not be going back. Parking is in the back and it’s not easy to get an open spot all the time.

Not the place to find a deal. Worn out brand names for the price the same price you would find it brand new. Way overpriced! They have a lot of Target brands again for the same price you’ll find them for right across the street. I hope they find that many families would love to shop here but can’t afford it.

They have a pretty decent amount of stuff to look through but it’s super poorly organized. You have to sift through everything to find different sizes or styles.
Also, crazy expensive for a thrift store. I won’t be going back at those prices.

This is the worst Goodwill I have ever been too.
It was very unorganized and messy there was also only one cashier so the line was super long. I go hunting for bargains in Sac all the time and the stores are not always very clean but they’re way more organized then this location. If I were you I wouldn’t waste your time going there!

This Goodwill is located in a busy section in Fremont. The store is quite large and you can spend a lot of time browsing the goods here.
I’ve been to a lot of thrift stores and I appreciate it when stores sort by either color, size or both. This store, unfortunately, did neither very well, so you definitely have to dig dig dig. I also find that the clothes here are ratty and don’t have very good brands — think Walmart, Target, and Kohl’s clothing. The prices aren’t dirt cheap either. The cheapest item I’ve seen was like $ 6.
I didn’t walk away empty handed though. I did get this cute short black jacket from Armani Exchange for only $ 7.99.

Came here to donate a bunch of stuff the other day during our PRE SPRING cleaning session. The service was quick, we just had to show them what kind of stuff we were donating and they took it in and gave us a receipt. Pretty quick and easy.
Things that they don’t accept: undies, duh. Socks… but they did if they were still packaged. And other holiday/​costumer stuff. That’s about it.
