Very frustrating that the fitting rooms are closed and yet all sales are final. Other Goodwills who have their fitting rooms closed have a 7-day return policy. I also didn’t appreciate the attitude I received when I questioned what the return policy was. Besides that, prices are also pretty steep for certain things. I was pretty disappointed with my experience.

My husband and I are going to be living in New England temporarily. We wanted a microwave, since we have one back at home we weren’t looking to spend +$50, so we decided to buy a used one. We drove for 45 minutes to this Goodwill, we found a small $25 microwave, and were very pleased with the condition and price. We were excited we even got some popcorn at a grocery store in that same shopping center. We spent another 45 mins driving back home only to find out that the microwave does NOT work. As soon as you plug it in, the microwave starts operating without you pressing any of the buttons, it will not stop until you unplug it, I thought that maybe we could make it work by just setting up a timer, and being very vigilant, we tried it with a popcorn bag, it was in the microwave for roughly 3 mins and it did not even pop once. This is very annoying because I know that “ all sales are final” you trust that they would AT LEAST make sure things work before selling them. I called once I found out but they were closed, and it’s Sunday today they’re closed. Even if they read this, and possibly attempt to make an agreement I don’t want to drive another 45 mins there and back, it is so not worth it.

Prices are just astronomical now. Whether it’s $75 for used hue lightbulbs or $40 for stereo receivers from the 1990s that sell for $10 on eBay it just isn’t worth it anymore. If you happen to find a good item, just know it’ll be priced the same or more than eBay, yet you don’t get to return it if anything’s wrong. Only way to get a deal now is being lucky enough to find an article of clothing in the main rack that’s priced as an item rather than individual stickers. It was getting bad before the renovations, but I knew the second they painted the walls white they were going to use it as an excuse to triple prices. My favorites: $70 for a mixer with no parts included, $25 chipped and rusted teapots, $15 t shirts, $17 rusted cast iron lodge skillet ($15 at target brand new), insanity. Goodwill is a FOR profit company that takes donations, everything in the store is given for free, yet they markup prices OVER retail at times.
