ReStore

This place is hit or miss for household items you need for your home. Love the fact of supporting a noon profit, but not knowing what you’ll find can either make or break the drive out here. I give props to this organization for organizing a whole bunch of stuff that would otherwise be headed to a landfill. Definitely come here before stopping at Lowe’s (it’s right behind it). You may find what you need for a fraction of the price.

I tried a few months ago to get three boxes of new tile, a window AC and a freezer picked up.
I’m going to try again today as the puck-​up never happened even though all that stuff sat out in front of my garage for two weeks.

Over the years we have donated a lot of good quality items. I’ve tried for several weeks now to arrange a pick up and they keep flaking out, not contacting us/​returning calls, and just not showing up when they say they are. Had I known what a hassle this was going to be we’d simply have given it to the Fresno Rescue Mission Thrift Store. We tried to help you, Restore, with a newer 8 ft ladder, 4 newer florescent shop lighting fixtures each with 4, 4 ft working bulbs, a box of tools and some other stuff, but your system is really flaky.
BTW: after your driver failed to follow through the last 3 weeks, scheduling and then not coming each of those 3 weeks, he personally guaranteed me he’d be ‘the driver’ and would be coming today. It’s 1 PM and they’re STILL no call and I’m pretty sure based on the previous patterns that no one is coming.

I’m getting ready to start a building project and after seeing the tv ads about this place and browsing their website, I decided to drive over to check it out. I was in the market for wood or wood doors. I was under the impression that items here were leftover products from building Habitat of Humanity homes. I expected quality items, for good prices. This is what their ads claim.
I was under the impression that they had a lot of wooden doors for prices starting at $ 5. From their website it made it look like these were normal sized doors. Boy was I ever wrong.
They had a lot of doors that had holes and cuts and in poor quality. These doors had prices of $ 55 and up. I was in disbelief. The only doors they had for $ 5 were the size of a doggie door. Complete waste of my gas and time!!!
The rest of the store had a lot of overpriced junk! Broken ceiling fans for $ 30 up. Busted desks for $ 65. A broken tv stand for $ 70. They are fricken crazy here!!! I wouldn’t pay $ 5 for anything they had in that sorry place.
