Goodwill Store & Donation Center

I like this good will bc the have a large jeans selection and good shoe selection. I’ve never been to this one before and it was kind of hard to find

I consciously try to support establishments that support recycling and since I frequent this location to donate household good to throughout the year, I decided to stop in to pick up a few items for a silent meditation I was attending in Northern California.
I was a bit surprised with the prices as I thought I would pay under $ 5 since all the items were second hand. I picked up most dresses all of which were in excellent condition so I didn’t mind paying the $ 8 it cost per dress. I think most of them were new or barely worn.
I do appreciate the fact that they allow you to make returns on clothes which I thought was pretty unusual for a thrift store. I believe it is 10 days with the tags attached and of course your receipt for a full refund.

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION !! This location has the laziest and pickiest guys that work in the back accepting (or not) good quality donations. Three times we’ve tried dropping off quality goods for them to only be turned away or to have them pick and choose what they want. So no wonder people complain about the quality of donations to choose from !!! Blame the lazy guys in the back that don’t like to work !!!

We are active duty military and have recently moved into our rv. Instead of paying 400 a month to store our things, we decided to save money and just donate everything. This goodwill has THE worst donation staff. They are ungrateful and treated our donations like garbage. I would donate boxes of things we planned on keeping! These were not trash! They would throw handfuls of my things from my boxes into their big blue carts. Thankfully I know this now so I don’t waist anymore time donating to this facility and I will stick 100% with the local Salvation Army. This goodwill has left a horrible impression from the rude and ungrateful staff and I will NEVER donate anything to these stores again! EVER!

I had some time to kill before a business meeting and thought, «Why not»?
What a cool thrift store. Clean, big wide isles, no funky old clothes smell and really friendly cute boys running the place.
I was pleasantly surprised by the name brands: Land’s End, Liz Claiborne, Gap and many other among the clothing racks. Prices were very reasonable $ 4.99 — $ 5.99 for women’s top and bottoms.
They take credit cards there’s plenty of parking. I call this a good find.

This is by far the WORST goodwill I’ve ever been to! I’m a die hard thrifter and this one is a fail! Rude staff, no 50% off tag of the week, and no bathrooms! They also don’t honor military discounts. The clothing was all VERY worn and no name brands at all! So disappointed!

Not the best selection of womenswear, but sweet selection of home goods. Don’t come expecting to find vintage pieces.

Nicely organized store with clear prices. You do need some patience and a little time to do digging, but it’s easy to avoid leaving empty handed.
Sometimes this place can be painnnnnnfully crowded, and the narrow aisles do not help. Claustrophobia trigger, big time.
But I recently scored two belts and some beautiful brown shoes for $ 13. Can’t beat that, even at H&M!

It may seem like a deal to get clothes here but… this is the place where you are not going to get the most bang for your bucks. Clothes can get kind of pricey. 4.99 for regular shirts, 4 dollars for tank tops, 5.29 for large shirts, 20 dollars for jackets, 10 dollars for sweaters. Last time I visit, I was amazed by this store. But now I am less impressed. There were a few items that I liked and thought I got a deal on but I would choose wisely. Get the popular name store brands for savings like New York Company, Express, Abercrombie and Fitch, Apostrophes. I would consider those deals. Also, be on the watch out for clothing with holes, color fading, and stains. They are priced the same as other outfits so save yourself the frustration and take a close look before buying. There are good outfits at this store for great savings but yeah… I would go somewhere else to get better savings.

Used their long beach goodwill ecommerce site bought and paid for the shipping of an item. Item never arrived; ups delivered it to the wrong address. Called UPS to initiate an investigation. Asked elsie narvaerz of goodwill long beach to open up a claims since ups closed the investigation and told me to tell elsie to file a claim. elsie not only did not file a claim, she reopened the investigation. Clearly this is a runaround and stalling technique to make the customer give up and not pursue it further. The claim is with ups, goodwill doesn’t pay anything. ridiculous service and I will not recommend anyone to try buying from this organization that is no better than scam websites.

This location is my neighborhood Goodwill and I just simply wanna say that I struck GOLD during my recent experience here! I usually only come a few times a year to donate loads of clothes/​household goods/​electronics, and I’ve NEVER had a problem with them turning me down or anything like that. They usually sort through my things, write me up a donation receipt, and I’m outta there in less than 10 minutes. The couple of times I’ve been here to actually shop for items, I never found anything because I never really took the time to dig around and look. Buttttttt, THIS time around, since I’m currently in a thrift shop/​frugalista phase, I thought, why not? I honestly came not expecting to come out with anything.
45 minutes later… after carefully digging through their nicely organized racks…
I first find a Dooney & Bourke wallet for $ 2.99 (don’t get no better than 2.99 for VINTAGE!); I find a white blazer that fits me perfectly & is in good condition for $ 5.49; a vintage Canon camera which later I found out was $ 1.99 (& still works!!); & lastly, a pair of leather flats for $ 6.99. Alllll this for under $ 20? I wish shopping was this cheap all the time!!!
Damnnnn Goodwill on Atlantic & Willow, you made me one HAPPY CAMPER!!!

I have come here for my Halloween costume shopping each year, and I ALWAYS find exactly what I’m looking for! Never fails. Last year, found the perfect outfits for Peter and Lois Griffin… then this year, found a bunch of 80’s apparel.
Not generally messy, pretty standard for Goodwill. I’ve donated a few times, and it’s been a smooth transaction each time. Parking is VERY sparse, so I recommend parking at a business nearby and walking over to the Goodwill.

Goodwill stores really perplex me. Many of the employees doing the sorting are working for community service credit, the clothes are donated. Why are they so expensive?
I go to thrift stores to find things that are either unusual or cheap both is ideal. Goodwill stores are expensive. They sell tops and shirts for 5.99 — 7.99. I can find brand new clothes for those prices at wal-​mart, many times the brands are from low end retail stores. Thats fine, but charge me a buck or two.
The other day I was looking for a bargain on a round baking pan. They were selling the used pan I wanted for 5.99 I passed and went to the dollar tree and found the same type of pan for you guessed it a dollar.
Salvation Army and The American Cancer Society thrift stores are a better bang for your buck.

While I LOVE Goodwill in theory, I have to say I was pretty disappointed when I was informed by the clerk that they don’t offer any discounts. There was no color tag discount or special. Nada. I guess I’ve been spoiled by the Goodwill in LA off La Tijera which has a ½ off item and discounted item which changes Saturdays and Wednesdays. I found great stuff but the discount part bummed me out. I’ll still go there and browse for stuff that fits like a glove and really unique stuff but for my shopping spree, I’ll go to one that has sales/​discounts.

I like this goodwill because it’s pretty organized. The clothes are all sorted by color and they put the seasonal clothing out in the center, so you won’t have problem digging. They have a large kids section, and lots of stuff from Target, and about half of the store is dedicated to womens clothing. It isn’t the biggest, but I don’t have any complaints. If you’re looking for furniture or shoes, drive a few miles to the goodwill on PCH. It’s much bigger.

In regards to making any kind of donation… clothing articles, furniture, books and more Goodwill makes the process easy for you.
I come here quite often. If you know me, you know I love to clean. Clean and throw sh*t out! If an item is reusable, I donate!
This particular Goodwill has a designated area on the side where you can drop off your ”goods” fill out a quick itemized receipt and you are good to go! I’m literally here no more than 5 minutes.
Quick & Painless!

so organized.
so much better than your average good will selection.
i spent $ 50 dollars on 6 vintage plates, 4 vintage bowls, 2 vintage tea cups, purple evan perricone pumps, black «hermes-​ish» handbag, a japanese signed watercolor, a vintage home «cooking vegetables» recipe book with most excellently dated photographs, two dainy half-​moon china ashtrays, and 3 clip on ties with excellent patterns AND, yes there’s more! a decanter with a cut crystal topper thingy.
now, that’s a lot of stuff. and it pretty much rules.

This place is well-​stocked and relatively clean, but there’s a lot of crap to wade through as well. I’ve picked up a new black leather designer wallet for $ 5.99, and a used Tod’s purse for the same price. Mostly though, I’ve left empty handed. They charge a lot for some things you can get cheaper at Target, and their book section (which is where I’d head first) is tiny and disappointing. Oh, and the service totally sucks. The employees are completely apathetic and unhelpful, but I guess I’d be depressed too if I worked here. Hell, I’m depressed when I’d shop here, which is why I don’t even bother anymore. I mean, what are the odds I’ll find ANOTHER $ 1100 purse for $ 5.99? Please. Why don’t I just buy a lottery ticket? Oh yeah, if you do shop here, you won’t pay sales tax.

I just picked up a pair of black leather ferragamo boots at this place, in mint condition – knee high with zippers. And they have the best lamps & couch pillows ever. I get lost here for days.

do you want to know why this place is good?
they’ve actually turned down good stuff i’ve brought over to donate. yeah. i am talking electronics and even nice pieces of furniture like lamps and such.
what the hell? yeah, most definetely avoid bringing your shitty polka dotted sweater your asshole uncle gave you for xmas. they’ll think it’s shitty too.
