Goodwill

Shopping in this store was an absolute pleasure. There is ample parking outside. It is clean and spacious. It is well-​lit. The items for sale are logically organized, and clothing is separated by size. I could browse the clothing racks much more efficiently than at many thrift stores, because I could go right to the section that had my size and not waste time. The clothing is very affordable, and each category of item has the same price. Long coats, $ 14.99, T-​shirts $ 2.99, and so on. I found an Ann Taylor Loft wool skirt perfect for fall, for $ 5.99.
The furniture section is well-​stocked with attractive furniture in good condition. I was particularly pleased because I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect folding chair. I found it here at Goodwill, a wooden-​framed chair from a reputable furniture manufacturer, for $ 6.99. In fact, they had two of the chairs, so I bought both of them. They were in great condition except for a few light surface scratches here and there. These chairs retail for $ 33 a piece new, so I was very happy with my find!
The book selection is nice and has a good mix of history, cookbooks, biographies, etc. Not just fiction trade paperbacks, although those are there, too. 99c for paperbacks, $ 1.49 for hardbacks.
There were plenty of staff on the floor, and they were friendly and happy to help. I observed a customer ask a staff-​member if an electronic item had been tested. Without skipping a beat, he offered to test it in front of her eyes so she could be absolutely certain it was functional, explaining that he wanted to make sure she’d be happy with her purchase when she took it home.
The woman who rang up my order at the front register was similarly professional and cordial.
This was all-​around, a really well-​run Goodwill and also a well-​run thrift store by any standard.

I hadn’t visited this location in about five years when I decided to return about a month ago. While I snagged a pair of black Theory dress pants, my experience was pretty lackluster. Maybe next time.

Super easy drop off. Less than 2 – 3 minutes to unload my car load full of stuff and walk away with my donation slip.

Fantastic staff working there. Not something that usually stands out but these guys were such nice people. I found a few things, too. Clean.

An excellent selection of clothes, furniture, and music at affordable prices. Staff here are also friendly and helpful.

I regularly visit this location. Sometimes, I don’t find anything at all. Other times, I totally luck out! I always start in the furniture section, which is relatively extensive. Some of my best finds include a really large mirror for $ 45, bar cart ($ 35), hutch ($ 65), and some Betsy Johnson wedges in great condition for $ 4.99. Customer service is generally decent, depending on who is working. I have never purchased clothes from this location. I browse quickly through the women’s section and if I find something I like, it’s usually priced too high for me to feel like it’s a deal. Shoes are generally the same way. I’ve seen Aldo pumps in there for $ 14.99! They were clearly very worn.
Overall, I prefer this location for furniture, décor, and other home goods.

For shopping, this is my favorite Goodwill. The prices are usually fair and unlike Salvation Army, they have standard pricing (except for a small selection of designer items in the «boutique» section) for most items.
In addition, the clothes are organized by size and type… all adult clothing items have size tags which are attached with plastic, not the horrible extra thick double staples that Salvation Army uses that leave your clothes looking like they were attacked by a pack of vampires… I appreciate that. The size tags are color-​coded as well as placed in separate areas so you don’t have to waste a bunch of time looking through random sizes. They also have maternity and plus size sections.
There are three large, fairly clean fitting rooms and there is a changing table in the bathroom (there’s only one) which I really appreciate. I always find something really cool here… a NASA onesie, baby suspenders, lion costume, new condition Jordans are a few of the items I saw on my last visit. This is the only thrift store where I routinely purchase items for myself because it is so well-​organized that I don’t have to waste hours looking to find a few unflattering garments.
The Tuesday regulars are usually cool and love the babies! Unfortunately, they are my competition for deals on this 25% off clothing day (accessories not included), so it’s not all good but I enjoy overhearing stories about growing up in DC in the 40s… like my grandmother who grew up in super-​segregated DC in the 1920−30s — it reminds me of her.
As thrift stores go, this is my #1 all-​round pick.

Dropped several boxes and bags of stuff off here after work on a Friday. Pull up around the back and unload. Easy peasy.
My husband and I had some time to kill before our evening plans commenced so we decided to check out the store as well. It was well organized, not too crowded, and the employees were nice. The pricepoints were also reasonable. My husband found a couple of brand new dress shirts for $ 6.

Who even knew this place existed!!! It’s a hidden gem in DC. It’s tucked away off of NY Ave, and even though it has a Goodwill sign, it looks like Goodwill offices and not a store.
There’s a parking lot, so it makes donating way easy.
The store is spacious and well organized. I can’t recall anything spectacular or different than any other Goodwill, except for the fact that it’s really convenient in DC.

Place was pretty decent. Not much for home goods. Clothes were ok. Make sure you examine the clothes before you buy them because some of the items maybe damaged.

I’ve been twice and was pleased both times. Favorite purchase was a 4 piece tea cup set for about 5 dollars! Found a few good staples for the fall as well. OooOoo and it is organized pretty well which minimizes the feeling of being overwhelmed.

I just took my first carload of donations here — quick and easy drop off. Associates were friendly and I will definitely be back!

I was looking for a place to donate a giant bag of clothes and box of stuff I no longer have space for. I found this Goodwill online and saw it had great reviews when it came to making donations. Well the reviews were right!
I drove here on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. A little awkward to get to, but once they have clear signage telling your where to go. And although the parking lot was full and 3 workers were all helping unload one van FULL of donations, when I asked a worker where I could put my things he came over to my car and unloaded them right away. He also asked if I wanted a donation receipt. Super quick and really helpful!
The store itself looked big and clean, but I knew if I went in I would come home with more things I don’t quite have room for yet. I will definitely be back with more donations!

Forgot to mention they also give SENIOR DISCOUNT of 10% off all purchases That was on a Saturday so I think it’s everyday! YAY!

I dont mind this store but I will not be returning here. I am a commuter and it is hard to get there and leave in a timely manner because it’s not close to a train. I never had any luck when I went and I don’t have the urge to return.

I like this place. The folks taking donations make it super easy. And the store itself is big enough to not feel cramped and jammed all the time.
For donations, drive your car around back, pop the trunk, and the employees will help you load up a bin with all your donations and give you a receipt if you want.
The employees inside the store itself are just as helpful.
Like all Goodwill shops, you have to search to find something you want, but I’ve never walked out of this place without buying something. At the beginning of summer, I got a pair of knee-​high brown boots for just $ 2. In the middle of winter, I got a great summer dress for only $ 4.50. It pays to shop off season. Also, it looks like the local boutique Current donates their items that don’t sell with the tags still on them — shoes, suits, dresses, tops — all of them are great items, and they are much cheaper at Goodwill than they are at Current.

The drop off area for this good will is very well labelled and manned. The only con is the location is right off a very busy S. Dakota Ave, therefore the traffic can be hectic trying to turn in on it if you’re coming from outside of the city. Given the quality and efficiency of the drop off, I assumed the store would be the same. Although the store is well organized, it doesn’t have a large variety as compared to Village on 193. There was a lot of empty floor space, and they only had about 2 – 3 furniture pieces. However, in comparison to other thrift stores, they do have a «new» area with non-​used items and they had a large selection of boxed bed springs and frames as well.

This is the best thrift type store in the city. It’s easy to find high end brands, some w the tags still on. Well organized and super nice employees — they even helped me pick out an awesome outfit and were good enough to gently tell me when another was just not working. Not much for furniture, mostly clothing and some kitchen stuff. Also easy for drop off — just hand off the bags and go. Plus it all goes to a great cause.

This is one of my favorites in the area. I drop off donations there about 6 times a year; geesh. The guys are ALWAYS friendly and are at my car before I can even get out.
Now onto the inside… when I say I can rack up on some good deals. I recently purchased J. Crew, Calvin Kline, Ann Taylor and Bennetton slacks (all recent season) as I am constant shopper so I know what’s in. I’ve also purchased skirts, blouses and a cutsie Banana Republic dress.
Additionally, I love African American history and have found quite a few books as well. Lastly, cooking is one of my passions an I can always find GREAT cookbooks there.
Don’t be deterred by any negative review as that’s likely a crock of bullshy.

Quick and easy. They bring a cart to your car, they take the goods out of your car, and they hand you a receipt when they’re done.
I haven’t actually been in yet but I do intend to go in one day but I’ve been a couple of times to drop of and have had no problems.
