Goodwill Chinook Thrift Store

Better than Value Village as it is a nonprofit and has about 88% re-investment into the mission of creating self-sufficiency with the unemployed. This location in particular seems to have pretty regular turnover on clothes, but it’s not the best for furniture as it does not hold much inventory and these tend to be marked a bit too high. Interesting art and collectibles. Clothes tend to be clean, and the staff are helpful. They make it extremely easy to drop donations off and accept a lot. You cannot get reimbursed for returned clothes, but you can exchange. You can try stuff on in the store. Did I mention it’s better than Value Village? Ok great.

I come to this goodwill because they have a better selection than other nearby stores in the sections I shop. However, they price things quite high - $4.50 for a bottle of bath and body works soap when they are under $4 at bath and body works currently. The staff at this location are frequently quite rude and miserable - especially Carol. Today she yelled at someone for leaving their cart “in her way” while they were shopping in a crowded book aisle. She shoved the cart out of the way, sighed loudly and muttered under her breath. Someone then asked her about the washroom and she rudely responded “give me a minute” and brushed her off. We all have bad days, but I certainly don’t get to treat people that way at my work.

Horrible parking situation. Impossible to get parked, had to park on the side street. Staff is not well trained and the floor manager is less than nice. Found some lovely christmas decor so my experience was not a complete loss

Great Second-Hand Store!nI absolutely love this place! It’s always clean, well-organized, and full of amazing finds. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are very affordable. I’ve found many high-quality items here, from clothes to home goods. It’s a great way to shop sustainably and save money at the same time. Highly recommend!

Employee Christine was very rude, I am here weekly won’t be anymore I spend hundreds of dollars a month, other employee recognize me I am there so often. Sold me $40 vacuum, which I brought home and tested, the battery lit up started to charge so I thought it was fine, when I went to use it after I got back from vacation it wouldn’t turn on and also would no longer charge, that same day I brought it back with stickers still on and the receipt but I was 3 days past the window - I didn’t even want my money back, I just a credit to spend in store that day, but she refused due to policy and refused to get me the manager I was asking for even though I requested the other manager multiplenTimes - what a joke of customer service. Maybe their policy shouldn’t be to sell broken shit they got for free !
