Goodwill

Not very well organized with a very thin selection despite going after New Years. Seems too dark.

This GoodWill looks smaller on the inside than from the outside. The selection is small, but well organized for a thrift store. As usual, it’s really up to the customer’s willingness to dig for gems. For being a thrift store, the prices are somewhat high, but they actually do have good quality stuff so it evens out.

Cyndy’s Bottom Line: Great service from the donation drive thru staff.
This review is for the donation drive thru only.
I always receive excellent service when dropping off my donations. The employees are eager to assist with carrying the items out of the car.
Very courteous and helpful!

I’ve been to Goodwill in every state that I’ve traveled through and this is the cleanest one I’ve ever stepped foot in. It’s well organized, easy to navigate through, and the employees are very courteous. The store is small and so is it’s selection, but plenty of donations should mean plenty of turnover.
While Goodwill provides a service to the community, all controversies aside, I can’t understand why prices are so high. Stores like Goodwill draw people, like me, with the expectation that things are priced to sell. I found several items exorbitantly priced and our small group left without considering any purchases. I’ve never experienced sticker shock at other Goodwill locations and I feel that this locale is the exception. This is the second time I’ve visited this particular Goodwill and walked away feeling perplexed over the same issue.
Verdict: Prices are too high for this guy. Where there is another Goodwill, there is way.

Goodwill has increased their prices too high! You are receiving donations from the very people who shop at your store. I’m just heading to Target or other new stores because the prices are no different

This Goodwill has some NICE donations! I was there last week and they have $ 2,000 hand carved, curly maple piano. Gorgeous!
This is definitely a nice Goodwill, but that means higher price tags.

A bit pricey but the demographics may handle it and support the store. I’d say better value for personal purchases than a destination for resellers. Tight store with fair amount of furniture.

This is a good Goodwill. As usual, the selection of women’s clothing greatly surpasses the men’s and that’s ok; dedicated male thrifters would have accepted this reality long ago. Ladies, I’m sure you’d find some cute stuff there. And guys, lots of ties, suit coats, khakis (not so many jeans), dress shirts, and, when I was there last weekend, a surfeit of rain boots. The size of their T-​shirt section is nothing to write home about – I collect tees – but I found three that were appealing, an unusually high number for me.
A lot of used kitchen appliances, a whole rack dedicated to miscellaneous chargers and ext. cords, and a diverse selection of plastic and dishware.
The book section is remarkable. Be prepared to scan, head cocked to the side, eight cases that are five feet wide and ten feet high (I’m estimating) full of fiction and nonfiction. They even provide a stepping stool for those who are serious searchers.
The size of their CD section is also considerable. A lot of obscure artists and outdated PC games, but put in the time and you may find something you like. I came away with «Demon Days» from the Gorillaz, Third Eye Blind’s debut album, and «The Bedroom Tapes» from Carly Simon. Also in the music section there’s a collection of vinyls and a rack of cassette tapes, as they resist obsolescence.
This Goodwill also has a miscellaneous offering: socks and underwear still packaged, cheap products like dish soap, deodorant, paper towels and the like, furniture in the back, paintings, and aged electronics.
Overall, I think it’s worth the trip to Falls Church If you like to patronize secondhand stores. They leave some things to be desired, but I’ve seen a lot worse.

Came here looking for a piece of furniture… selection wasn’t too big and they were placed all around the store. Doesn’t make sense to me but maybe they don’t have enough to have a section. Still worth a visit though. a friend saw some chairs marked $ 10 that another friend bought for $ 50 each.

I love the housewares and art often at this store. This is a donation center so it has more turn over then other local stores. It is neat and clean. The location has tons of parking and is pretty easy to get to. The store is bright and well-​organized.
Staff is nice and helpful.
This location accepts donations.

This Goodwill location was A-​OK. Of the 3 locations in the area, this one was far from a stand-​out. There was only a minimal selection of CDs and DVDs. The clothes selection was ok. Things were definitely more along the lines of middle-​aged type clothing. Even still, the suit selection left much to be desired. The blazer selection was fairly small.
The random knick-​knack selection and home accents sections were the best of the 3 locations (lots of nice decorative pillows, but at an outrageous price in my mind at $ 8 and $ 9). There were lots and lots of nice glasses, but the cookware section overall was pretty crappy. The only thing that could possibly be worthwhile is that there were numerous crock pots and I think I saw a couple of rice cookers, too.
For clothing, I really think there are some much better Goodwills to do some digging at. This one is fairly new and still needs some time to build a nice inventory.
In terms of donating, this donation center is a well-​oiled machine. The donation guys are kind and efficient. I just walked over with my bag, not quite sure what to do, and the guy kindly took the bag off of my hands with a smile and a kind greeting. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about. It couldn’t have been easier.
I must admit, however, that I wish I’d given my stuff elsewhere because Goodwill is so pricey, so I can’t imagine how helpful it would be to those in need. I will definitely bear that in mind in the future. Maybe Goodwill ought to offer discounts on a daily basis for those on a fixed income in one form or another (pension, welfare, unemployment, etc) or for those who qualify for other forms of government assistance.

This place is AWESOME! I have never been more impressed by a Goodwill.
This store is clean and organized, the items well-​edited, and the donations process quick and properly staffed. Other thrift stores could do well to follow their lead.
For donations, you just pull up to the back, and there will be staff there to help you unload. They do have some rules, such as no already opened board games.
Something I noticed that made a positive impression: there’s a sign on the door stating that everyone gets a fair shot at the items — the staff aren’t allowed to shop at the store and nothing is picked over or held before customers see it. This shows because the items are in often in good condition or unused/​new. They even have a few sections of new discount items and clothes with the tags still on.
Even though I usually only find 1 – 2 good items when I go to a thrift store, this time I left with two striped shirts, a crew neck sweater, a cardigan, a denim skirt, and a pair of bronze pumps. Major haul!
The clothing items are priced by type — e.g., skirts $ 6, shirts $ 5 and the shoes are priced individually ($ 5 – 15 it looked like).
I think the book section of any thrift store also can tell you a lot. At this store, there are only books in good condition, similar to what you would feel comfortable loaning to a friend; nothing yellowed or torn.
I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for quality thrift items and if you don’t want to spend a lot of time picking through crap to get to it.
However if you prefer «digging» more through piles of stuff to find your treasure, this might feel too much like a regular store for you.

Brand new Goodwill location. Great selection with a ton of frames and framed art. Their clothes selection wasn’t very large but my girl did try on some vintage suit pieces, no luck on that front though.
We had to drop off some donations and stopped inside to do some shopping as well. Lots of houswares as well. Worth a visit to do some looking around and the proceeds go to a good cause.

Is this a new Goodwill? Well, old or new, they had a good supply of clothing. I was looking for some tweed items for my upcoming Tweed Ride DC event and found a ton of great stuff to buy and wear for my event. Thank you Goodwill for being awesome!
