Goodwill

I suspected I left my cell phone when donating some items yesterday and Martin was so professional and extremely helpful when calling the store on another phone. He called back to advise that unfortunately no one had seen it or turned it in. Later that night I looked up on find my iPhone that it was in fact still on 25^th and Irving, so we came back today and Martin was actually running the donation drop offs! We suspected I may have accidentally donated it (I know, I know…) and luckily there was no pick up yet, so we searched!
These 5 stars are here because 1) I like this quaint location I’ve been donating easily to for years with great help from the staff, 2) I’ve bought two amazing vintage tea sets here for super cheap and 3) for Martin! My husband and I were so impressed by his excellent customer service and empathy for our situation. So many people these days would be quick to roll their eyes at my mistake or begrudgingly help in searching. Martin was so kind to go above and beyond to help me retrieve my accidentally donated cell phone by searching bin after bin (A LOT TO LOOK THROUGH) and kept making sure we were ok to wait. What a guy! Thank you so much!

its okey good prices good selection ill be back sort of far from my usual stomping grounds though

An average Goodwill store.
It was kind of a small Goodwill and they didn’t have a lot of selection. It was kind of hard finding an employee because I wanted to check out their cameras and lenses. As you know, they’re locked.
Finally found one and he was very friendly.

Wow! Best goodwill experience ever. I came here on halloween. The manager was dressed up and giving out chocolate! The places was so clean and everyone was so nice. You wont find this at other goodwills.

Goodwill on Irving st is great and lets my personal battle against a hoarding personality disorder develop nicely.
The people here are sometimes kinda blunt and in-​your-​face, but hey you can really blame them? I think most of them are volunteers.
Always a good thing to give back, ladies and gents.

Wanted to drop off this morning. Gentleman said to come back at noon and they were full. Really? Didn’t want my donation. Just wanted to drop off. Drove around twice to look for parking but none. No time to go back at noon.

I like this place – it’s smaller than most thrift stores but it’s easier to navigate and not feel overwhelmed. The staff there is relatively friendly and their drop-​off donation is easy. I bought a brand new microwave here for $ 20 which is AWESOME!
side note that I observed: there is a fair selection of clothes here (men and women), not many choices of shoes, a lot of business-​y blazers

What a better place to drop of clothes and stuff around the house that you’re not using anymore? The people at Goodwill are always super friendly.

Ah yes, the Goodwill! This location has the usual stuff and AMAZING staff! I went with a friend, and found a few things, but the amazing part? How about a staff member dancing with my friend’s mom who has senile dementia while she (my friend) was trying on clothes? Just for fun! And then, to top it all off, amazing staff guy went and bought her mom a super cute sweater just because he thought mom was so darling!
THAT is the real meaning of ‘goodwill’! Made my day…
If this were a Visa add:
Dancing with grandma? Priceless…

Hassle, hassle, hassle. Dirty, disorganized and yucky. They made donating a huge hassle. Sheesh.

Nice staff. Super dusty store. Even touching the clothing your fingers get dirty. If you hVe a sensitive nose like me, you can smell the dust and it penetrates your nostrils. Clothing is not very good and sweaters pelting or with tears and statins.
Sorry I drove out all the way here.

its small but a nice pitstop between muni drop and home. i enjoy goodwills and good deals… inside this branch are clothes, ceramics, books, jewelry, electronics, cookware, knick knacks and polite staff
with giants dodgers on tonite and no cable nor wifi setup and not wanting to drain phone data i grabbed an awesome alarm clock radio for $ 6.50 w/​solid speakers
sidebar as last nite a friend showed me an app that allows her to snap a pic of the label of wine as it instantly generates reviews and pricing
couldn’t do that w/​the clock but later found it sells used for $ 35+ in this day in age, go figure?

TAX REFUND.
Goodwill is no joke. They are aimed at helping the community, and this one is no exception. I love purging closets. It has become one of my favorite little quirky hobbies. I think my boyfriend despises it, but whatever.
Parking-​accesible via street and at times *tricky*
Donations-​easy. You can pack a brown paper bag, drop it off, and get your receipt.
Staff-​friendly.
Store-​decently clean. Everythig is seperated in sections and clearly marked.
I support recycling and believe in giving aways clothes that still have a chance at second life. Electonics, furniture, accesories, clothes, plates, books, and maybe even the kitchen sink can be found here.

This is by far my favorite Goodwill in the city. What a gem! They don’t carry furniture or a ton of household things, but it’s definitely the place to go for clothing and accessories. I have found so many name brand items here– my favorite Banana Republic pea coat and several Free People items for great prices.
Not only is this place CLEAN, but it’s well organized and managed by great people. The staff is super friendly and I’m pretty sure recognize me at this point… it’s a blessing and a curse that I live within walking distance! They always greet me with a smile and are quick to attend to customers.
Everything is separated clearly by size and mostly by color and despite being a pretty small space, it doesn’t feel cramped and crowded. I’m moving soon and will be sad not to be as close, but I will definitely be back here regularly.

Not all Goodwills did the 2 Dolla Holla Sale — the boutiques did Feezy Perceezy (
).
«Boutique» translated to «no ironic or fugnilastick clothing for me».
In contrast to how «curated» usually means stuff I’d want to wear.
Actually decent apparel = iNo bueno, señor!
Furthermore, no t-​shirt section!!! (mens, didn’t check womens)
In place of t-​shirts, this spot has a ton of sports jerseys.
I did luck out on a track jack. A red one. Gung Hay Fat Choy!

This is probably one of the cleanest, best smelling organized Goodwill’s I have ever been to! I can’t believe it doesn’t have the thrift store smell! People that work here are really nice. Didn’t find anything but I’m impressed everything is so organized!

Goodwill here is very clean, small, with just a few departments, none bulky:
–electronics
–ceramics,
–clothes, jewelry
–dvds, books
–etc.
buys: toni morrison (.99) the bluest eye
–books here not much selection, priced .99, 1.99
–books way cheaper than other good wills (3.99)
notes:
–very, attentive„ prompt service
–only metered parking closeby.
–chinese managed.

This thrift store isn’t exactly the best spot for clothes and accessories — but they do carry a decent selection of electronics and amps. I ended up getting an affordable set of speakers and a decent amp from here from my record player — after having no luck looking elsewhere.
The staff were sweet and agreed to hold onto the stuff for me, until we could arrange a ride to pick up all the equipment. Though this isn’t the biggest thrift store around — it’s well organized and it’s evident that the staff really care about the place, their customers, and the items that pass through here.
Trust.

My first time to ANY Goodwill wasn’t very good.
There were clothes, a few shoes, books, VHS, VCRs… lots of stuff looked dirty. Clothes were more $$ than I thought, because it’s GOODWILL. I saw jeans for almost $ 30, for $ 30 I can get new jeans from AE.
Lots of people, so it must be good.
4 of us came today, no one wanted a thing.

This Goodwill had its grand opening’s ribbon-​cutting on April 24, so it’s new (
).
The inside feels like a Ross, TJMaxx or Marshall’s. The clothes racks are organized like in those stores, and there seems to be a lot of workers at the registers and wandering the aisles. A bit too many. But, unlike those stores, the place is smaller and doesn’t carry a lot of merchandise (saw shoppers but no one made a purchase).
However, it is cleaner and more organized than the typical Goodwill store. So, it gets an extra star for the time being.
