Came here at 9pm rushed from work to.get things I needed bt it was closed it says open till 10 bt it wasn't. False advertisement
Jazmin C.

Got here at 9:08 since I had got out of work late and online, and at the door, it says that they close at 10:00.

Do better dollar tree! Hire more people or get a system that doesn't crash. At least hire people that are literate.
Jennifer M.

I can under being closed for uncontrollable reasons. However when putting up a sign, make sure that the person who is writing it is literate. Because this sign says: "We close" ??? What are you close to? Reopening? End of the day?

My "super old" $20 bill.
Shannon K.

I was just turned away from the cashier at DollarTree on Blanding because I was paying with a 20 dollar bill that the cashier said was "too old". She said they had a new store policy that they can't take "old twenties" anymore. She then went on to examine my bill and say that it was "old and full of marks". This after I wasted 15 minutes in the store. I asked her why there wasn't a sign about this new policy, and she just shrugged and flippantly told me to take it up with corporate". I asked to speak with a manager, and she said she WAS a manager. I went over to DollarTree on International in Oakland, and they accepted my bill with no problem. The cashier and manager both looked at my bill and said it was fine and that they'd never heard of a DollarTree policy where they stopped accepting older twenty dollar bills.

They charge you a bag fee even when you don't want a bag

They charge you a bag fee even when you don't want a bag. I didn't notice when I got to the car and was too lazy to go back for 10cents Improvement: don't charge ppl a bag fee if they decline a bag.

My daughter loves Stich and princess! My LoL wrapping paper yeah us! 11.17.2022 suppose to b getting Mothers birthday gift bags!

Found everything I wanted and to much more. My 22 year old came up with stocking stuffers! I was spending $10 not $22 ha! I didn't appreciate not getting my receipt! When I pay credit card I like my receipt! I do not appreciate she began ringing up the next customer. Than shocked I needed a receipt! My only complaint! And I choose to be kind and not hold up the line. I also zap my receipt for points to earn money back! Grrrrr! Do better Dollar 25 store!

Quality/Quantity - You get what you pay for, but sometimes you get more!! I shop here for very specific items, but then I sometimes get more with my impulse buying/hoarding... Mainly because the Dollar Trees in Reno are almost always out of stock, so I have to buy everything I am not able to get up there. I can't even tell you what I bought; one of this, two of that, etc.. Plus, I can't even remember why I came here today??? Atmosphere - Great in stock conditions; they were filling the shelves today! Service - Got lucky. One register had a long line when I walked in, but by the time my hands were full (yes I did NOT have a basket or cart) and walked back to the front, there was NO line. Price - $1.25 each + tax, so for me, I spent $20+ today. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1989 with 15,288+ locations. I did not know that Family Dollar "merged" with you in 2021.

Seeds!
Matthew L.

Dollar Tree is a great place for gardening supplies! Dollar Tree has 25 cent packets of vegetable and flower seeds, which all have had a pretty good germination rate. The best selection of seeds are available in the beginning of the year, and the best picks usually get all taken by mid-March. You won't be able to find any rare varieties of flower or veggie seeds; however, there are (surprisingly!) quite a few of heirloom vegetable seeds available such as some of their beans, peas, and lettuces. If you're lucky and come early enough, you can score some pretty nice planters. Dollar Tree also offers $1 bags of soil. Soil quality is not good, as it's very heavy and sandy, so I would SKIP it unless you plant to amend the soil. Other than gardening supplies, Dollar Tree offers quite a wide array of kitchen tools (mostly from the Betty Crocker brand), stationary and gift wrapping items, and general household goods. I love how everything is a $1 or less. Quality is generally pretty good, although some items are better than others.

Cookie tins for Christmas!
Jenn H.

The Dollar Tree is a great place to stop for supplies. Some favorites include - disposable plates, serving platters, etc. (easily transported but low price, so if it breaks or gets lost, NBD) - gift wrap, bags, tissue and more! - tupperware More recently, we found these cute Christmas cookie tins that we used to gift cookies to our friends. Customer service is hit or miss. A few weeks ago, the employees were all super friendly and helpful. Recently, when I went to pick up a few more cookie tins, there was an employee putting away all the Christmas items. While I was looking at the tins, he was taking tins out from in front of me to put away. A bit off putting, but I was able to get what I needed.

This Dollar Tree looked big but I felt like it was missing a lot of inventory since half the…read moreshelves were empty. I was surprised to see that the candy, snacks and drinks aisles weren't fully stocked. Even some of the fridges in the front didn't have any cold drinks inside. On the plus side, the store was well lit and clean. Most of the items in the store were $1.25 but some items were priced higher. On the day that I went, there were signs on select items that they were on sale for $1 as part of Dollar Tree 40th anniversary. The store had a functioning price checker in the frozen food aisle and the toothpaste I was looking at really did scan for $1. The store looked like it was understaffed. There were 2 cashiers and 2 really long lines. I didn't see any other staff while I was there. I was planning on buying some essentials but I had to ditch them after seeing the lines. There were a few people in each line buying carts full of stuff and I didn't have the patience to wait. There was a security guard at the front who greeted me as I walked in. I think there was another security guard who came out of the office to scan the aisles. Maybe she caught something suspicious on the cameras. I did notice a couple of little cameras carefully hidden in the aisles so they were watching closely. Parking wasn't an issue since they had a big parking lot. However, the parking lot looked really sketchy and run down. The surrounding neighborhood looked really bad too. It was one of those areas where you had to make sure you lock your car and not leave any valuables visible in your car.

My Mother and daughter went in. I'm giving it a three bc I…read moredidn't go in. However, they had everything my family went in to get. Also, a three bc they said cashiers were quick. They said lines were super long. The cashiers rang up other people items quickly. This made my family thrilled. Also, a 3 bc it is in a scary part of East Oakland. One man just kept walking past the car saying hello. I believe he was unhoused. He didn't asks for any money/food. It was just the way I parked and the car next to me were super close. He had to squeeze between them. It was sort of awkward. ! But he was kind. I would recommend bc my family said they had everything! A heart could desire.
