Goodwill

The decision makers at this location must be smoking some crack! It is goodwill not a shop on Rodeo drive. Why in the world would you pay more for somebody’s used merchandise than straight off the shelf at the store. I saw a yankee candle last week marked 14.99. Seriously?! Dishes and cups should be under 1.00 but they have the audacity to mark much of it at 2.99. Last week I tried to make a donation of a Pier 1 800 love seat that is clean and only about 6 years old they refused it because my cat decided to scratch the top side of it on both sides. Yes it needs a cover or to be reupholstered. I went inside and threw up in my mouth a little at the worn out 30 year old upholstered pieces they did accept. I am sure swarming with bodily fluid stains and bedbugs. But somehow they made it past the gatekeeper! I am pretty much over stepping foot in this location – they really pissed me off this past week.

Eh. I expected it to have more. There are some things you dont sell. Staff didn’t seem interested in being there. Wont be back.

I’ve been to Goodwills across the country so I feel qualified enough to give a solid 4 star rating.
The good:
–Prices are closer to garage sales than Nordstrom clearance rack on clothing.
–For the most part well organized
–The Furniture selection is ever changing and priced to sell. $ 20 bucks for a couch that needs a little reupholstering? Yes please!
–Good variety of brands of clothing
–Ample amount of parking.
The Bad:
–Each time I’ve been there, there has been a shortage of employees – the fitting room rack was filled to the max and there were unexpectedly long lines to check out.
–I’m 97% sure you could get the old Target clearance merchandise cheaper at the clearance sections in Target. $ 15.00 for an ugly shower curtain because it came from Target? Puh-​lease.
The Ugly:
–Sizes are NOT sorted. I hate sifting through hundreds of pants to see the exact style I want and notice it’s the wrong size.
Besides the nuisance of the clothing not being sorted. The Goodwill in Hudson is all in all a positive thrifting experience.

Very clean. Very friendly help (Target take note). Great prices, excellent merchandise.

Is it me or are more and more Goodwills turning into Target light? Maybe considering they seem to receive a lot of Targets product and donations.
I think J knows where just about every thrift store is in the metro area and since I’m usually with, I end up going in.
This location is well organized, clean and prices are reasonable.
I like to go to look for books and movies. Anyone remember Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles? Well I do. I found two other movies on VHS with him in so I had to get them. And for only .49 cents, couldn’t go wrong.
The little gal checkin us out was so chipper and genuinely friendly.
Nice location and a good spot to pull over if sick of being in the car to or from Chicago.
