The products have a lot of choices but the rude cashier made the experience frustrating, the elderly woman before us couldn’t hear him say 2.11 she heard 2.09 so he screamed 2.11 loudly at her twice in a row and shook her up a bit I could tell then asked us if we had different bills because he didn’t want to break them. The cashier with the fancy looped belt and laced red shirt.

TLDR; GREAT! About 25% menswear, 45% womens clothing, and 30% housewares. Small jewellery couter too. Pros: Weekly color tags. Better quality items then most SA stores. Cleanest SA I've ever been in. Great selection. Prices on half the items were good, the other half a bit higher than other SA. Employees were very helpful and attentive. Cons: Just a handful of items were unreasonably priced (IE: a simple sweater for $16 when most were only $3 to 5); never seen that before at an SA, it was really strange.

Questions & Answers

Any stipulations on donating a mattress and box spring?

Becky Sawielski | Oct 19, 2019
The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center | Oct 19, 2019

Yes there are, thank you for asking. The Consumers Product Safety Act (CPSA) of 2008 prohibits us from accepting mattresses that were made before 2008 because they do not meet CPSA guidelines. Also, The Salvation Army does not accept mattresses that have any rips or stains as part of our commitment to offer quality, used items to our customers.

Is there any reason why I wasn't given the 69 cent price on purple tag items at the Plainfield location today, SATURDAY. I asked them wait, aren't those the sale tags and they said yes yet my receipt shows they charged me the haha of price!?

Yes. The 69 cent sales ended last year. We no longer do 69 cent sales. Only half off the color if the week. They ended last September. So you were charged the correct price.

I have two used dawn comforters and number of used decorative pillows. Do you accept these?

Because we do not have facilities to make repairs, we cannot accept items that are in need of repair. Thank you for thinking of us!

An item was accidentally donated Monday evening at the Plainfield location. A wooden snowflake my mother made. Would it be possible to find and purchase this item? Do the donations go to a distribution center?

If you know what day and time you made your donation, there is a possibility of locating this item. However, it would be very difficult because we receive a significant amount of donated items everyday. Items donated to our Family Stores generally do not go to a distribution center unless a Family Store receives more donated items then they have room for. At that point items may be moved to our warehouse or to another Salvation Army store. In order to begin seeking out your lost item, you can make contact with a store manager by visiting the store where you dropped off your donation. At that point, the manager can work with you in attempting to locate this item.
