Goodwill Store & Donation Center

The hubbee and I are moving so this was a great opportunity for me to get rid of clothes I didn’t wear or didn’t fit me anymore (marriage has caused me to put on a few pounds too many –_​-​) any who I came here to drop off bags of clothes, accessories, sunglasses, some hats and a couple of purses and fashion backpacks. Although everything was still wearable and had a long life, the excess pounds and being a woman w/​my style always evolving; donating them to goodwill was a good idea. I brought my goods to donate and they gave me a donation receipt for when i do my taxes. The employee that helped me unload into a cart was super friendly and complimented the clothes I was bringing in, makes me feel better knowing I’m not dropping off ugly or old clothes. I come here once or twice a year to unload and UNHOARD! I get rid of my of clothes and purses and donating it makes me feel better than trying to sell it online. Goodwill gives jobs to the handicapable as well, I’ll be coming here to make future donations.

If you love kids running around and stupid parents doing nothing about it, this Goodwill is for you. I’ve been here a couple times but this will probably be the last. The racks are just crammed with clothing. There is never an attendant at the dressing rooms. And the employees are just rude. This poor old women had two guys cut in front of her and the cashier did nothing. When the women walked up after the guys the cashier told her she was closed. All the employees want to do is complain, gossip, and chit chat with each other. I know it’s a thrift store but there can still be some organization.

Whoever runs the
website should be canned. My
account was disabled and I had no idea why, so I followed instructions and email them. Took me 3 month to get in touch with anyone at their Orange, CA location. I left massage after message for 3 MONTHS!!! With no response! What was given to me in the end, a PERMANENT DISABLED ACCOUNT!!! That’s right, permanent, like in never again… What a joke! Beware of that site ladies and gentlemen

My favorite! I always find Jcrew, Joie, Vince, James Perse & other designer brands here for super cheap! Also i scored a marc jacobs purse for $ 8.99… SCORE!

I see a few posts touting the tax right off for donating items, I would be very careful before you fill in that blank receipt. From experince I can say that the IRS is a lot more picky about this type of right off, they demand documentation that you actully donated that complete Computer system and thousands of dollars of clothes. If you are audited they expect pictures of the items with a resale value not what you paid when purchasing. It doesn’t matter that you bought those clothes at Nordstoms it only matters what Goodwill can sell them for. So be careful or you will be sitting in an IRS office explaining how you wrote off $ 50 dollars for a used clock.

I drove by the back of the store and there were two young men both very helpful. they unloaded my car gave me a receipt and that was it! easy peasy!

Ugh. Why did I even come in here? ‘m a thriftaholic and love spending an entire day thrifting. This Goodwill is like all other Goodwills: expensive, full of Target clearance rejects, shelves stuffed with broken crap from the 99 Cent Store priced higher than it was when new, and tons of kids running around the cramped aisles.
Blech.

Maybe a little smaller than most Goodwills, but GREAT selection. Countless brand new items still in packaging or with tags. Staff was very available and friendly. I’ll be back :)

I pledge to support my local businesses, small and large. The Goodwill in particular; because I want them to stay open. In my lifetime, I have probably spent hundreds of dollars at Goodwill thrift stores in Orange County, California. I buy their used goods i.e. clothing and accessories such as shoes and handbags; books, knick knacks, miscellaneous. The price of used goods is so inexpensive that I can afford a new wardrobe every year when I shop here. After I get tired of wearing the clothing I bought here at the Goodwill store, I donate them back to Goodwill for recycling/​resale.
On top of that sometimes they have sales which slash prices by 50% off. They carry name brands, too numerous to name (Banana Republic/​Gap/​Express etc.).

First of all. Terrible set up. Second of all I’m super bitter because an old lady cut me in line and nobody did shit about it. The woman who checked me out was VERY upset that I asked to purchase a cabinet in the back. It took a lot of strength and effort out of her to ask the guy next to her to check the tag so she could push the button for the right price. Sooo hard, I felt sooo bad I had put her through ALL that trouble… After I checked out she said to pull around the back and the guy would meet me to help put it in my car. So I did. He never showed. In fact, he had pretty much dumped it in the back and wished me luck. An older gentleman who worked there happened to be separating clothes and helped me put the cabinet in the back of my car. I’ve been waiting to donate bag of my stuff to a Goodwill, and I decided to hand the bags to him because he made my day. Even though I don’t think the store deserved anything from me… my donations or my purchases… ugh…
P. S. Shopping at Goodwill has become a HOBBY of mine. People don’t understand the kind of things you find while thrift shopping. Yes… they are previously owned items. But my rule of thumb is to clean things twice before use. And always have hand sanitizer in your purse. I map out and plan to visit new ones every week. I’ve visited nearly 20 new ones this year and frequent the ones I’ve had good experiences at. So you may be able to trust my word… but everyone has different opinions and experiences!

Total fan of this Goodwill location! I was thrilled to find exactly what I was hunting for and had to try really hard not to squeal out loud. They had a ton of everything from housewares to clothes and furniture. I will definitely be back!

I know not to expect much when I walk into these places, but when you find that diamond in the rough, there is no word to describe the excitement you feel soon after…
But this place was one of the dirtiest I’ve ever been to! I walked in and it smelled, plus I just felt… DIRTY! Clothes were squished together in the racks and felt dusty. Anyway I just pawed through the rack a little and decided to leave. The smell was really getting to me. *shivers* Yuck…

I like Goodwill a lot even though they seem to have a ton of stuff from Target, which kind of annoys me. This Goodwill in particular had a nice selection of just about everything, a little scarce on the bags but they had a nice Dooney and Burke behind the counter ($ 49 though, I didn’t buy it).
I did find some nice cashmere sweaters though, none were in my size and they also had a GREAT book selection, though again I didn’t buy any of it. They had a lot of great stuff but it either didn’t fit me or was a little too pricey for a thrift store. You should check them out though.

*_​_​_​_​* I think I’m in like with this Goodwill. So organized (mostly by color). They also have a great selection of outerwear! *sigh* Now only if I were taller, then I would definitely have picked up a few of the coats because a lot of them were very cute and in very good condition! And all for only $ 10, which I think is pretty cheap because guuurrl, you would not be able to find coats at the mall for under $ 10!
In the end, I walked out with a kid’s flannel (lawl, that should give you a sense of how small/​big I am.), a dark green jacket, and a nice cross-​body bag! Total came to be just under $ 20.

Clean store and friendly staff :) definitely the cleanest Goodwill I’ve ever been to.

It seems like this is where they send all the XL and XXL sized mens shirts. I found a medium Izod shirt that was nice but everything else was huge. The selection overall left something to be desired.

Staff: no greeting nor goodbye when entering and leaving. I walked by an employee complaining to a fellow coworker about the tasks she had to do.
Environment: ok. stuff on the ground.
Price: bullsh! t. They totally jacked up the prices at all Goodwill stores.
Items: good findings.

Not the best Goodwill I have been to but not the worst. The selection of clothes is small and not very great for picking through if you are looking for something specific. Then again if you need clothes this is a good place to go.

Your standard Goodwill. Half clothes, half household items.
Space is a bit tight in both the parking lot and the clothing section. I end up having to park a little ways from the entrance if it’s busy. The aisles in the clothing section are fairly narrow and if there are a few people browsing the row you’re on there is a decision to be made…
When you pass them, do you brush against them with your crotch or your rear?
It’s much like at the movies and when you have to use the restroom. You try to make eye contact and work out a mutual passing technique, but often times they are in their own world and you have to figure out what you’re willing to touch them with. Considering the crowd at thrift stores, sometimes I’ll take one look at the person down the aisle and just take the long way around to the other side.
Use your best judgment. Incorporate all your senses. Are they talking to themselves? Do you see any visible signs any infectious diseases? If there is an odor of any kind, consider browsing another section until they move on.

This place is just like all other goodwill’s. It is the average joe thrift stores. Meaning: there is mostly worthless junk mixed in with out of date clothing and items (not the too out of date to where it is cool again). Maybe you’ll find a treasure, but all I found was rubbish.
