Goodwill

This store is clean and well organized. Get on their email list many holiday weekends are $ 3.00 all clothes. See lovely prom dresses etc going at that price. I got a great leather jacket. There is a very large goodwill with lots of parking on San Fernando and fletcher. Same $ 3.00 deals

I really wasn’t expecting a goodwill in Glendale to be full of complete crap. All the furniture was torn and beaten, wobbly chairs. Broken knick knacks. Every other goodwill I’ve gone too has been clean and set up nicely with really decent items.

We were about to buy 3 pants from the Eagle Rock Goodwill in Glendale, CA. An extremely rude cashier accused my husband of switching tags to the color of the week, (purple tag) on all 3 pants. He said the he saw my husband carrying one of the pants and the tag was yellow and now it was purple. The pant in question were khaki’s. Very plain, non specific khaki’s, so for him to accuse us of tampering was so infuriating and demeaning. He even said «you can call corporate, If you want». We denied it, of course and asked him how he knew it was tampered with. He said that it was easy to take the purple tag off and proceeded to take the purple tags off the 2^nd and 3^rd pants. Those tags snapped off with a audible snap because they were obviously not tampered with. He said he would have to charge us the full price for all 3 pants. My husband just wanted to get out of there and pay for the pants but I said no, because it is the principal of the matter.
TO treat customers so rudely was so embarrassing and upsetting. The employee’s name is Juan. And he was working on July 2, 2015 at 1145
I am so disappointed as a loyal customer and donor of goodwill products.

This place isn’t bad at all. Too bad they didn’t have what I was lookin for but, I did see other things I would more likely come back and buy. The place is clean and doesn’t smell as bad as other ppl are saying. it’s goodwill, not Kohl’s. Wide selection on clothes, men and women, very little on furniture, appliances and electronics. But good for someone who is on a buget, then again, who isn’t. LoL…

They treat there employees like CRAP. I saw how the manager yelled at a person that works there, with disabilities. And was having her do something that was too much for her alone!

Found a watch and had a price on it and it said a hundred and thirty dollars I went online to see the price and I found a watch exactly the same but for $ 83 I think goodwill is over purchasing the items and its not fair cuz these items are mostly donated

My mom and I came in here yesterday afternoon. She picked a lovely black winter coat and a denim jacket with the Tasmanian devil on the back. I thought that one looked especially cute. My purchase contained books: Me by Katharine Hepburn, God’s Power to Change Your Life by Rick Warren, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford, Davita’s Harp by Chaim Potok and a baking cookbook. A lot of satisfaction on the way home.

One of my favorite good wills. the staff are always helpful and the mens section is on point. Come here at least 3 – 5 times a month and I always leave with great finds.

This is where i am getting loose pants till i lose weight! i found some cheap shorts and jeans for under $ 7 dollars yay! They even give you a 10% senior discount since you just need to be 55 and older so that will save you the tax. People donate all kinds of great things so it’s just kind of a hit and miss kind of store some days you will find things and others there won’t be anything good. But as far as clothes you can always find cheap Tee Shirts for $ 1.99, Shorts $ 4.69 and Jeans 7.99 Regular Dress Slacks $ 4.00 and they have Dresses and Sweaters & Tops to go out in also. i didn’t care for the shoe selection but to each his own.

Bring a nose plug because it smells like an underground Eastern European brothel up in this joint!
This place stinks. Literally and figuratively. Who is pricing this garbage? Don’t waste your time. You’ll find better items in your neighbors dumpster after they have a garage sale.
They were selling a phoney Coach, rather Goach handbag for $ 49.99 and a Louie Vuitton for the same price. They also had some beat up Target shoes in a glass case under lock and key. Right next to a Kodak 110 camera.
Some items had the original store tags still attached, apparently Goodwill feels a good gauge is to add $ 2-​$ 3 on top of the former store’s price.

I go to this Goodwill every time I need a Hawaiian shirt! They always have a good selection of them. Their furniture selection is great too.
Customer service is about average for a goodwill, but cleanliness seems to be above average. Also it’s a bit out of the way so it’s not constantly raided by hipsters! A good Goodwill indeed.

never really came to these places but I have to admit you do find some little treasures now and then.

«I’ll wear your grand dads clothes, I look incredible!»
Great song, but I digress.
I love thrift shopping. All the adrenaline and endorphins you get when shopping, but without the empty wallet. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it.
This location is clean and well organized. One star docked because it is a rather small store. But still with a decent selection of items.
Pro-​tip: I love looking for furniture at Goodwill. A lot of time you’ll find some good stuff for a decent price. And if you’re super cheap, you can find used IKEA items too. That Expedit shelf you’ve been wanting could be yours for cheaper than the usual cheap!

This is my favorite Goodwill in the LA area. It’s nearly always clean and well organized, and the people who work at the store are friendly and helpful.
For example, one time I was in the store and someone called looking for a random sweater they’d seen on a rack, wondering if it was still there. One of the employees actually put the caller on hold and hunted for the sweater until she found it. Really?
It’s hard to find vintage at Goodwill in general anymore (at least anything older than 1965) but I’ve found a few more treasures at this particular location than I have at other Goodwill stores in the area.
Tips:
–If the lot in the back is full, there’s usually a spot in front of the store on Colorado Blvd. traveling east.
–If you are a normal thrifter, avoid this place like the plague in the two weeks leading up to Halloween. Everything gets disorganized and people spend forever in the dressing room. If you are a normal person looking for an affordable Halloween costume, it’s a good place to look!

Even though I didn’t find what I was looking for, I was pleasantly surprised on how organized and clean it was. Clothing is organized by style and color. The shelf items are neatly displayed. I found things I wasn’t needing but I managed to not purchase because I am in De-​hoarding mode.
Parking is always a bitch here though.

I was in the area so I decided to go to this Goodwill to see the difference in selection between Goodwills in LA county and those in SB county. There are A LOT more designer goodies here but I personally don’t buy a piece of clothing based on what brand it is.
Whoever does the pricing at this Goodwill definitely knows their brand names. For example, I found a Lacoste cardigan that was not in the best condition and it was priced for $ 9.99. I also found an Ann Taylor cardigan that looked a bit old that was priced for $ 12.99. They had small Juicy Couture purses that looked like they were used daily by their previous owner for $ 24.99. Obviously, these prices are significantly lower than buying them new but I’m sure you can find a new Ann Taylor cardigan in their sale rack for around the same price.
I did find a nice J. Crew striped shirt for $ 5.99 which I thought was a steal but I ended up not purchasing it because I didn’t think I was going to wear it. My cousin found an H&M sweater shirt for $ 9.99 (again, you can probably find a sweater similar in their sale section for around the same price).
However, + 1 star because I did find mason jar cups for 75cents each and cute earrings though! If you are more into looking for brand name clothing items you should definitely go here.

Possibly my favorite Goodwill in LA, so far. Good collection of books, art, and various small items for the home. I always hit up this Goodwill when I am in the area and it is always worthwhile.
However, they are kind of lacking in the furniture department. For furniture, check out the other 2 locations in Glendale (Brand blvd. and Glenoaks ave.)

All these people kvetching about inconsistent pricing needs to take a long sip of STFU.
So what if there’s a few items in there that have been mis-​priced. Guess what? If you don’t want to pay $ 9 for a pair of jeans, no one is forcing you. Another tip for you brainiacs: go up to the counter and say, «hey, do think it’s possible this is mis-​priced?» I mean, come on, give the workers here a break. I don’t know if they’re volunteers, or what, but it does seem like, maybe, just maybe, they didn’t attend a six week haute couture course in Milan, so perhaps it is possible that they really couldn’t tell a Louboutin from a Thom McAn. Cut them some slack.
Besides, part of the fun of shopping at a thrift store is the chance that you might stumble on something that might, in fact, be mis-​priced, but in your favor. Like a pair of authentic Tony Lama anaconda skin boots (which haven’t been available in over 15 years, and should cost a small fortune) priced for $ 25. Guess who now walks into a Vegas casino feeling like some sort of Vin Diesel character thanks to his friendly neighborhood Goodwill.
That’s right bitches.

They have lost their mind here.
Price increases across the board especially with their books.
Better off at the new salvation army in Glendale on San Fernando road.
Prices are totally reasonable and a much larger selection than this crappy place.
They get their junk for free and are charging an arm and a leg. Especially their books. These morons are charging $ 5.99 for a stained copy of Ishmail and I can get the same freaking book on
for .01 cents plus shipping for a total of $ 4.00
So where is the bargain???
And now this nasty box is front of the store asking people to bring in their drawers!!! No not their furniture… Their UNDERWEAR. I mean WTF people. This has to be a joke but it’s not. The stupid thing is somehow connected to Haynes underwear company.
NASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTY Goodwill.
I am done with this Goodwill on Colorado. And if they all started pricing as if they’re a boutique, then I will be done with all of them.

Ohkay, this is why I’m not elite (where you need your real name and photo) Because I want to be honest… and I don’t want my job to know my past transgressions. I may or may not have had a moving violation where I paid my fine by doing community service at this Goodwill (just like Terrell Owens!)
On a side note — not even sure they allow volunteers /​court ordered people here anymore. (I’m sure it’s a pain having to train people only there for one or two days.)
I learned:
The donation attendants WILL put something out if you see it in the parking lot /​donation area and say «Hey, I’ll buy that right now if you price it.»
They have a lot of (in my opinion, overpriced) clothing but hardly any furniture as they don’t do pickups like other SoCal thrifts. Also, many workers makes *less* than minimum wage (considered mentally or physically disabled /​formerly received state assistance for bipolar, etc.) The regional CEO gets paid high 6 figures.
Ever since it became chic to shop there (and resell on ebay) circa 2005 or so — many stores started using a laptop to check prices and anything that sounds remotely expensive (Mossimo — which is sold at Target) gets marked way up.
(It’s easy to tell people not to complain about prices when you’re just hipster shopping for your fashion blog or cowboy boots. Some people who shop here are caretakers /​shopping for their elderly neighbors, etc…)
Employees *are* allowed to buy. They don’t get first pick. Well, they’re not supposed to get first pick. You know rules are sometimes meant to be broken. (Never saw it happen here but read the reviews for other Glendale Goodwills.)
Their dumpster fee is very high because of all the crap people leave in their parking lot (and donate. they’re not supposed to say no even if you take in a half-​burned sofa.)
There you have it! If you get caught doing a rolling stop /​going 70 in a 55 — you may have to go to Salvation Army, though. Don’t ask me how I know that they still take court-​mandated volunteers.
