What clients say about The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center in Brooklyn (NY)
Items are not discounted. They're being sold at prices higher than the original price. A planter with the original price tag on it that the store didn't bother to mark down or put a tag on. Shein for $20. A junky tshirt likely given to the former owner for free sold here for $6. All shoes essentially start at $20. Saw a small Gucci children's shoe for $80. A single worn towel is $6. Used bath mat for $7. Loose playing cards for $5 each—split into separate bags as if they were collectors' pieces (a quick google search revealed they are not).
I visited the Salvation Army thrift shop today expecting a typical shopping experience. Upon entering, I was not greeted by the two staff members at the front door, a man and a woman, who barely acknowledged us and gave off an unwelcoming vibe. The moment I stepped inside, a strong and unpleasant odor hit me, which immediately raised my red flag, indicating the cleanliness and comfort level might be lacking. The shop itself was cluttered, with clothes and items strewn about haphazardly, making browsing difficult. Overall, the staff's attitude and the store’s condition made the experience disappointing. As employees working in customer service, I believe you all need to improve your approach to ensure customers feel welcomed and comfortable instead of unwelcome and uneasy. I won't be back, do!
The prices for used items are higher than what you pay for new. The items are too worn for the prices they have. Some items I have seen in the store have been there for years. I would highly recommend they go through all the old sheets they have and put them in a large bin to be purchased for $2 or $3 to clean them out and start fresh. There are some old pans where the teflon is so scratched and flaking that no one is going to purchase for $15 or $20, if at all. I would think they would want to move items quickly so they can put more out. They take so many donations there they have to take them out to the warehouse and then to other stores. This takes time and money down the drain. I have purchased just one item there in the 5 years that I have shopped after I have dropped my donations off.
Recently been donating to Big Reuse on 12th St. Love thrifting here. The store can be jumbled in certain areas but you can see they try to keep it organized and the prices are really good. They get the concept of moving inventory quickly.
Always better when the entire store is half-off! This location has inflated prices. Most likely due to it being in the Boerum Hil section of Brooklyn. Also, the manager prices items on her whims
Update: Prices STILL inflated, but still worth a visit every 50% off ssale day! There's a different manager. She makes an effort to post the cute items on IG. I've noticed she also responds to comments and questions made under her IG posts! Defiworth the visitS!
I love thrifting, so I come when I can, but usually I’m turned off from coming here. It’s overflowing with stuff on the main floor, obscuring some of the racks. The lower floor with furniture and random stuff is pretty hazardous and hard to walk through.
The biggest issue is the prices. I can’t imagine who pays the prices on this stuff. This is supposed to be for people to afford necessities, not to price gouge or “pay for the employees.” I’ve seen framed pictures for 199, worn out shoes for 29.99, and old sheets for 12.99. They write it in sharpie on the item, so it will forever say the price of it. Why would I buy something that says 49.99 on it now? Why ruin the item?
Recently I saw a framed piece of wall art, it didn’t have a price. I asked, was told 12.99. I passed and thought I’d try back during a half off day if it was still there. Came back to see that that piece now had 29.99 written on the back. It’s all a scam unfortunately. Even for nyc, the prices are wild.
I will still come on half off days, but feel like it’s harder and harder to find anything interesting or worth it.
*EDITED to say that the manager does price things at a whim, with seemingly no consideration to what it would have cost new.
I wish they would price things lower AT LEAST to clear things out and make the store shop-able! There are boxes everywhere, things falling all over the aisles, and piles of stuff that are impossible to even see. I haven’t gotten any kind of houseware here in years because they write the price IN SHARPIE on it. Dumb
This location frequently has a group of 5-7 shady dudes sitting outside poaching your donations from you before you walk in the store. They have a big van on the street full of items people were looking to donate. They are extremely aggressive and will chase you down the street if they have to. The Salvation Army account will probably reply to this review with some AI generated response about valuing customer safety blah, blah, blah but they will do nothing about it.
Edit: Like I said, the Salvation Army account replied exactly how I thought they would and they will continue to do nothing about it.
This store is always messy and disorganized whenever I stop by, but this time was the worst. Actual hazard violation and there is no excuse for it. One of the workers had the audacity to accuse me of stealing while packing my items in a reusable bag and followed me around the store. It made me uncomfortable. I would avoid this place in the future.
I adore Corina she’s amazing, always working! She’s never not attentive to someone or fixing something or just being zen while working. Her vibe is everything! She’s able to maintain her vibe even during the psycho phase of rush when all the jerks come in raid the place don’t fix anything, are rude and uncouth….shes #stoic and I love that about her. Thanks for sparkling zen master!!! Your #iconic #goodluckcharm #goddessvibes #fierce
Please train the manager on how to price the items correctly. She is charging over the price of what an item would cost if it were brand new. None of the items are correctly priced. Me and several customers were shocked at what she priced. We even looked up the cost of an item brand new and it was $10 less than what she priced it for. When we asked her about it and showed her the price on walmart she walked away and said that's the price.
Donate at your own risk! I donated family treasures, truly collectible items that I thought would sell and fund a worthy cause; rehabilitation services. I could have sold the items but chose to donate instead. As we were being dropped off in front of the store, 3 thugs took the items from us and were placing items in their own car. SA should not allow this sort of criminal behavior. Other patrons with donations also had items taken from them. It was so disturbing. When we managed to get inside the store there were only 2 employees and they seemed understaffed. The young man shrugged and never said a word when we asked where was NYPD with this blatant robbery of donations right in front of the store? I guess he didn’t want to file a police complaint and chance being attacked later or worse, losing his life. This is NYC now. Sad. No one answers their NyC location after calling California 800# no one answered and no one ever cared to call back. SA is poorly managed at the corporate level.
I had a great experience shopping here. I was greeted at the door and the lady was very helpful and welcoming. I found exactly what I was looking for and something extra. The best part is I didn't even know they had an 1/2 off sale. Thank you for your hospitality.
I haven’t been to a Salvation Army store in a while, so perhaps I am out of touch, but when I visited last week prices were extremely high.
There was a used couch with an “as is” sticker on it for $599.00
There were used mirrors, matching, for $199.00 EACH (these were perhaps 18”x24”, not huge floor pieces)
These prices were representative as well of the lower level, which had furniture and goods piled haphazardly. Furniture ranged from $199-$599.
I’m aware the country has been facing inflation, but the SA is an organization that relies almost exclusively on donations, and the SA stores only sell donated items. So the prices seemed like a slap in the face.
What happened to being a resource for the needy- or people who find themselves in difficult financial circumstances? The pricing here was more indicative of a hipster vintage store in Williamsburg, but without any of the quality.
The staff however was very nice.
The staff here are friendly and work hard to maintain neatness and cleanliness in the store. However, on many occasions I noticed some shoppers just left their tried clothing on the floor which made the changing room messy and the clothes dirty. Perhaps the staff can put posters to remind shoppers to return tried clothing either back to the racks or on the racks provided between the changing rooms.
Today (3/21/23) I noticed one changing room door was broken. This should be replaced soon as one working changing room is not sufficient for the shoppers.
Tips: Although the store closes at 7pm, both basement and 2nd floor shoppers need to vacate these shopping floors by 6:30pm.
Please help me to fine back my favorite salvation army thrift store down by Atlantic Ave. It some where around the area of Atlantic . Near to classie. I completely forgot about he exact address. One thing I know they have a lot of furnitures to n stack. The building is a three store building. With good prices
This is a good thrift store. Two levels- walk up to 2nd floor - not sure if they have an elevator - They had a good assortment of clothes. I wish the items were better organized by size. But I did like that all items were grouped-. Pants, tops, dresses, blazers, coats, etc.. I did find that they were pricey. Much more expensive than what I'm used to. They did have 50% off specific color tickets and some item tickets were $1 -. Overall I give it a good rating.
I have been shopping here for years. Many of the staff are kind and lovely. However a few are… not.
I came to buy clothes to wear for the marathon morning and donate once the race starts. When I went to check out the cashier decided that “the price had been changed” on a 99 cent item.
Seriously? I’m trying to save money but I ain’t that cheap. Mind you this dusty robe looks like it’s been in the store for a minute and stained. You can keep the dusty robe, the selective price gouging, and veiled accusations. I’m not coming back. I’m glad to give my money to Out of the Closet up the street. The staff are much nicer and they don't give money to homophonic causes.
I used to love this store. Unfortunately, they have increased the prices so high—even more than retail. They do run sales every week but they sometimes do NOT honor the discount and would make an excuse that some items were mistagged.
The managers here are always cranky, they seem rude even to people dropping donations.
There are some good things with decent prices but the price gouging is getting a little out of control with a lot of items. Charging 19.99 for an average used dress is ridiculous. There were an immense amount of clothes that were extremely worn and stained. You’re better off going to the goodwill bins.
Great shopping experience. Lots of mirrors so you can quickly try on the things. Great prices (not sure where to look for deals of the day...but I got a nice red hoodie for half off which made it $4.50 to my surprise!! Would've bought it full price, loved the piece, good quality). Great designer bags behind the counter (around 20 bucks) and tons of vintage jewelry too. The workers were polite and pleasant the whole time too.
I visit here often and it's okay. They definitely overprice things for a "thrift store". Sometimes you can catch a good item which is why I still peek in whenever I can. Every so often I happen upon there their 50% off days which is cool, but it would be nice to know in advance.
Very good prices for the clothes, books and other smaller items. Looking back, I regret not having picked up that sewing machine for $35 when I had the chance! Looking forward to shopping here for the furniture and larger items when I move into my own home.
The absolutely worst unrealistic prices for jewelry I have ever seen ever. Who prices a Sterling ring for $200. And a costume jewelry watch for $200. Let that sink in a Sterling ring for $200 it's not even Tiffany. The Croton watch they priced for $200 is priced more than a gold watch. Saw customers laughing at the prices. Who ever prices have no clue about jewelry. Will never go back to that store it's a big rip off and I love Salvation Army. This is the worst pricer I have ever seen in my 20 years of Thrifting. They need to go back to school and get and education. Oh the watch is still there 3 weeks later.
Not a bad selection of clothing. Lite on the men's shoes but everything else is good. Great prices. Make sure to bring shopping bags to take your purchases home in. THEY DO NOT SUPPLY BAGS FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR PURCHASES HOME. BRING A REUSABLE BAG!!!
The salvation Army once upon a time was a place to shop for those who are in need. NOW used items are WAY WAY overpriced. Who would pay $10 for used glassware? The Clothes/shoes/pocketbook/wallet prices are ridiculously high for used NOT A CONSIGNMENT store. This organization Is no longer for the community.
**Corporate can save BS talk about the prices reflect to cost of paying the workers.
The Atlantic Avenue Salvation Army is of dependable stock, offering a variety of discounted clothing and other items to raise money for the non-profit. The donation process is quick and easy, and the supply of items always full if not always the most varied. It's not necessarily the prettiest store, but the employees are nice and if you're a rummager you may find a treasure.
The store has no signs letting you know the sale of the week. All other salvation army’s have it at the door. We had to ask 2 ladies. Rude unhappy people work here. They have 3 floors no one would know unless you ask. At the end we wanted to buy items with the sale color tag the lady at the register pulls a WE HAVE TO SELL IT AT FULL PRICE BECAUSE THEY ARE COATS. She pulls a printed sheet from behind the counter when we asked where can we read the rules at. This are donated clothes this is not Macy’s. Prices are ridiculous........
The workers at this store are extremely rude. Today I came at 4:40pm and they were closing early and yelled at us when we pressed them because it says 6pm. This is one of the last true thrift stores in brooklyn, I traveled a long way in hopes of finding some good wares there but was disappointed.
