Goodwill Store & Donation Center

I haven’t bought anything at a Goodwill store before, so I can’t rate the shopping experience of being an actual customer here. I was donating items and the process was fairly simple. I didn’t know that donations were supposed to be dropped off at the back of the store, so I went through the front entrance. It’s easier to park in the back and they have a wide-​open collection area there. They gave me a printed receipt based on the number of bags I donated and they tossed the bags into some large bins with all the other donations. You may want to make a list or take a picture of the items you donate to make it easier to track for your records. I found the employees to be helpful and courteous. This location is a very convenient one with plenty of parking. I plan to go back and donate more stuff.

Lots of clothes and it’s kind of hidden but it’s right by Ross. I got a lot of great shirts

This place is a 5 minute drive away and I always let me repeat ALWAYS find goodies here. I’ve found everything from table runners to shoe racks to clothing. There is a pretty nice selection of clothing and shoes here. Long story short this place gets me in trouble. I only ever get greeted by an employee named Daniel, he is nice while the other employees just seem to go with the motions. Overall, i like coming here and I try to do so at least twice a week.

I went back here on 2÷9÷15 and I really looked through the selection of clothes. I was pretty impressed with the variety of women clothes, shoes, and purses. It was inexpensive ($ 5-​$ 7 depending on the type of clothing article). I wanted to buy plain t-​shirts and I wasn’t willing to pay $ 10 for some at the mall or Target.
I actually spoke with the staff and they’re so nice!
Overall, great variety!

My regular ‘go to’ Goodwill is located on the corner of S. Sepulveda Blvd & Artesia Blvd. While checking in using my handy dandy Unilocal application on my Iphone I observed a ‘check-​in’ comment stating that the Goodwill in Gardena was better.
This was hard for me to believe because the above mentioned Goodwill is top notch. I have walked in to my ‘go to’ location and found everything from surfboard to snowboards that looked barely used not to mention clothing that still had the original tags. I have been asked on how I have accumulated my wealth and that answer is pretty simple I am extremely ‘frugal’ with my money and that is why I love a ‘GOOD’ Goodwill.
Well back to the story at hand, I had time to kill so I figured I would drive to the Gardena location and check out if the ‘check-​in’ comment was truth of fiction.
I drove to this location and actually missed the Goodwill the first time around, it was evening hours and the parking lot in which this Goodwill is located had some lights out making it extremely hard to find. Once I did find it I found a huge parking lot that was practically empty. As I exited my vehicle I noticed right off the bat that I was no longer in Kansas Toto.
I walked into this location and the store first off smelled like a transient, if you have never had that smell hit you consider yourself lucky. I noticed the floors were disgustingly dirty. The clientele shopping, well let’s just say was much different than the Manhattan Beach location. There was clothing lying on the floor and employees were walking around clueless. This store at the time of my visit looked like a Toys-​R-​Us on ‘Black Friday.‘
I was so disgusted that I refused to even touch anything but that did not stop me from giving myself a hand sanitizer bath once I got back to my car, heck I even put hand sanitizer on napkins and wiped the bottom of my shoes off before letting them touch the inside of my car.
I will have to say after careful deliberation that the ‘Myth’ that this location is better than the Manhattan Beach location has been busted. Even if this store was giving away stuff there is no chance I would come back here. Actually the only chance I would come back to this location is if they let me bring a wrecking ball.
This location should be condemned!!!

Easy place to donate your gently used items for early spring cleaning. The worker offered to help carry stuff from the car to the top of the ramp. I’ve been here to donate twice so far and will be back since this the easiest Goodwill to donate to so far. They provide a receipt for tax purposes if needed. I took a look at the inside the store after as I am a bargain shopper myself. This particular store has rows of clothes for men and women. Not as much of kids clothing but definitely like a rainbow of colors nicely organized. There is less furniture and houseware goods compared to other Goodwills, but I guess it depends what they receive as donations. The staff inside were friendly and helpful as well always greeting.

I prefer to give them a negative star. If I could take my donation back — I would! It was my first time donating and I regret giving it to them. The alleged manager was very rude and unprofessional. She came back and told me a child’s potty seat could not be accepted. Ok that’s fine — I get it. But her attitude was awful. I let it slide — then she proceeded to go through the clothes I put in a bin and then put it in a bag. She was upset because the clothes was thrown in the bin without a bag. The employee was the one who told me to put it there. It was not my intention and it was not the employees fault either. However, she was rude! So I complained and I asked for the manager. Turns out she was the manager!!! It was an employee who dealt with the issue, while the «manager» stood behind the employee. I strongly encourage Goodwill to train managers on customer service and management techniques. Next time I will donate it to the homeless on the street. The surely deserve it! AWFUL EXPERIENCE!

There is not a Goodwill here. Thanks a lot Unilocal!Just wasted my lunch break trying to find this place, to drop off donations.

Been to other Goodwills where the clothes are better, they were labeled with the prices and even coasted less than this Goodwill. The employees ate even nicer and more helpful.
The employees at THIS Goodwill are rude and need to be trained better because they mistake boy clothes for woman clothes and over charge.

Rapidly becoming a favorite Goodwill! Pretty much every time I walk in, I find far more than I thought I was looking for.
Today the staff was amazing, specifically one Sherry Rhodes, who has a talent for matching items! She pinned my style immediately, and picked out a shirt that all but screamed my name. I took the draping transparent rainbow beauty home along with two perfectly fitting dresses and a flaring camo skirt, all found in the Juniors section. (Depending on the make, my size ranges 3 – 10, usually 5 – 6.)
And all I came in for was a pair of shorts… Which I didn’t find, because I made myself stop shopping, but I’m still happy as a clam.

So far, so good. I found very cute pencil skirts for the cost of nothing. The selection to choose from was amazing and I got an authentic Christian Dior night gown. Pretty awesome.

So i am not a an of goodwill, but I do happen to come to this one a lot because I have gotten some good deals here. Overall the store is clean, in a new shopping center, so after im done here I hit up the ross next door. Customer service kind of sucks. I asked to use the restroom they said they didnt have one. Next week i went, this lady asked to use the restroom, they let her use it. So this kind of got me a lil upset. But overall good store.

At first I was unsure of this good will. I went in a few times & did not find anything. But I continued to check it out & search for items I could alter. I went on a Friday when they had their two dollar sale. I fell in love! I spent 48 dollars & walked out with a HUGE bag of clothes to alter to fit my style AND OF COURSE ALL FOR TWO DOLLARS. I will definitely be doing back to this goodwill

This is where I take our clothes and Items for a second chance to brighten someone day for there first chance, they do not accept baby car seats, no exercise equipments, and no weapons… yes yours truly was trying to give some weapons to Goodwill, Hay I did not know. lol

This goodwill seems very neat and not messy like other goodwills I’ve visited before. I actually just ran in and out since I was donating a lot of old things that weren’t in use. The people in the front seemed very nice. so I will continue donating my things here :)

Stopped by here once to check out some antique collectables for sale on the back of the store, most are just junk and few are buyable.
In terms of what they have to sell for clothing and toys, they have it all and it is very well organized.
My only complaint for this store is that it smells like someones old attic.

Pretty big goodwill.
Just opened and its really organized. It has alot of good sweaters. And the costumer service is great!

Just as bad as when it was on Western Ave in Gardena. Both locations are EXPENSIVE and both have a dirty feel. The new store is a bit better as far as the dirty parth though.
Sometimes things are marked higher than when they were on clearance from the store. I was told from an employee that they buy the clearance stuff from Target half price and then they sale it at double. Most of the time it was cheaper at Target.
I definitely prefer Salvation Army stores in Redondo Beach. They have sales all the time and the clothes are better.

This location just opened 3 weeks ago and i’m impressed! I went in today and walked out with an 80’s windbreaker i’m SUPER STOKED to wear out this winter/​fall ^^ (See pictures) They’ve got some great stuff. (See pictures) They have shelves and shelves fully stocked with some great books and dvds/​vhs, a few isles with many many types of kitchenware! such as plates, mugs, salt/​pepper shakers, cookie jars, etc! It might be that they haven’t been opened for long but i didn’t find GREAT stuff as much as i have at a few other locations i’ve been to in Los Angeles. Never the less, i still love it here. Bargain shopping made easy for the customers here with their neatness, tidy organizational skills and lotssss and lotsssss of parking spaces.
* They don’t have much shoes… YET. can’t wait to come back.
* Saw a Singer sewing machine for 99 bucks!!! (See pictures)
