Goodwill

Not great prices for Goodwill. I mean $ 6.00 for a used t-​shirt is pretty ridiculous. The very sweet lady that checked me out agreed.

If you aren’t looking for something specific, it’s almost always fun to go treasure hunting at Goodwill.
Almost all deserve five stars just for their purpose and cause. This one is usually five stars. But on my last visit there was a new manager and he was absolutely clueless. While I waited in line to complete my purchase, I watched as he was totally helpless in resolving another customer’s issue with getting his credit card to go through, eventually just giving up and letting two cashiers just keep trying things until they got it to work – at least 15 minutes while the line continued to build.
Then he got to me. I had several items that were basically identical. I wanted to buy almost all of them. But two were incorrectly marked at more than 5X the price of the others. Being a manager, he should have been able to make the correction, new or not. Again, totally inept. Oh well, bought the treasures priced correctly and left the others behind.
Given time maybe the bulb will come on. Who knows?

Good prices, good products, good people. I couldn’t ask for more from this store. I check in their once and while to see if any rich people had dropped off any clothing I like. So far I have got a few golf shorts and dress shirts, this is awesome to get good cloths and not spend an arm and a leg.

This review is not really for the thrift store, but actually for the drop-​off store next to the thrift store at this location.
My husband and I frequent this location often. Any time we go on a cleaning or organizing frenzy, our gently-​used items end up here. We are meticulous about sorting our clothing donations by gender and size, making sure that all items are clean and folded neatly. Unbelievably, some of our finds even have the tags still on them (silly us for never wearing them).
Hubby’s a box hoarder, so we always have boxes of appropriate size to load up all of our goodies, too. Nothing stuffed in garbage bags or old shopping bags from us.
We only go through these bouts of organizational mania once every other year since we request a receipt from Goodwill and itemize our taxes in even years. I’m fastidious about what goes in those boxes, what they’re worth and what we can deduct (I have an accountant-​approved spreadsheet that I use to log my donations). I hope Goodwill profits from our donations and someone else enjoys what we can no longer use.
Most times when we pull up to this location, we are greeted with a welcome smile, helpful arms and gentle hands. The items we’re donating are brought right in and placed in their store with care; a donation receipt is given before we even request one. But there are times, however, when we’ve come (and often that’s been when we’ve got a really big donation) and we’re greeted with a scowl, our donations are taken and the box is literally thrown on the floor — and I watch everything scatter everywhere. I’ll stand at the counter waiting for a receipt and I’ll get a quizzical look:
«Oh, you want a RECEIPT for all of THAT?»
Yes, sir. I do.
I’d deduct a star because I was so agitated by my last visit, but I’ve had so many other good visits that I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. I’ve always been happy with Goodwill and their mission, but a condescending attitude is not what I expected to receive here.

We have visited many Goodwill locations around the city of Houston and surrounding areas and this is by far our favorite. The store is clean, big, organized and offers a good selection of items.
My family and I highly prefer to shop at resale shops for a few reasons. They support the local community in several ways, reduce our environmental impact by purchasing used goods and they offer good prices. We try to be as eco-​friendly as possible, to the point that we are willing to pay a small premium for a used item if it means not having to create a need for new resources to be used by purchasing new items.
We have found great deals on toys, household items, small appliances and clothes as well. If you live in the area, make sure to stop by and check it out. It is always a hit or miss when you visit a resale shop but you never know what you may find!

I only had about 20 minutes to spare so I stopped by this store. It’s a super clean and organized Goodwill. While the sign says it’s a Select store, there was no rack or section of selects. Not a great deal of inventory but it was well maintained. The staff was friendly. I found a few bargains but not much, thus the four stars for me.

To hell with this place and all Goodwill MONEY LAUNDERING FOR CARTEL outlets.
This is the hugest ongoing scam in American history. They get everything for free and charge ridiculous prices on any kind of art they sell, which blows my mind. God forbid you’re a broke bachelor like me trying to find something to spruce up the pad, they will charge you outrageous prices and will refuse to haggle with you even though THEY GOT IT TOTALLY FREE AND THROW IT AWAY IF IT DOESN’T SELL.
One time A very nice young lady changed the price for me so I could afford a book they had, but every other time they take you to the bank and clear you out.
screw this place, screw all good will stores. something tells me they are a money laundering scheme for someone to have so many stores like this.
ps screw you good will.
