    A small glimpse of the vast women's clothing section.
    Nancy H.

    I call this store the "Nordstroms of Goodwills". Yes, it is THAT awesome! I'm not a big thrifter per se, but my kids are and, with them, I've been to a ton of thrift shops in OR, WA and in my new hometown of Vancouver, BC. This Goodwill is IMO the gold standard of thrift shops. I've visited here a few times just to donate bags of clothes that no longer fit me, but until recently, I've never shopped around in here. But on my last visit when donating bags, the lady who helped me suggested I "shop around", so I decided to have a look-see, if only to write a Yelp review. But man oh man, I was blown away by this place! Here's why: -it's huge, immaculate, incredibly well-laid out, with clear and large signage suspended from the ceilings, so at a glance you can see where every department is located (i.e., womens, mens, kids, household, toys, etc). -the people who work here are incredibly friendly and helpful. Even when I was bringing in my bags to donate, the woman at the front cash came over immediately to help me put these big bags in their donation bin at the front of the store. I didn't ask her to help me, and I wasn't really struggling, but boy, it was nice to get the assistance. (Note: there is a donation area at the rear of the store but I drove around this complex of stores and couldn't find the rear donation area. So I brought my bags of clothes into the store via the front door). -the store is laid out like a real store/boutique with display tables and mannequins in the front (when I visited, since is was early June, they had a summer theme going, with mannequins in swimsuits and beach attire, displaying summery accessories, and colorful beach towels on tables, etc). -there are a bunch of fitting rooms here and they are large and immaculate. -the clothing sections were the most organized I have ever seen, hands down, anywhere. I checked out the women's section for a long time. There were long areas labelled "activewear", "short-sleeved tops", "long-sleeved tops", "capris", "jeans", "pants", "sweaters", "jackets", "swimwear". Within each section, the clothes were arranged by size (small, medium, large). (Note: there is a whole 'nother large section just for plus size women). And THEN, within each section organized by size, all the clothes were arranged by color (all the whites, then yellows, then oranges, then reds, etc., etc). I have not seen such attention to detail in organizing clothes in a thrift store anywhere -Now I have to mention the clothing itself, as this was another feature of the store that blew me away. Not only was the selection of clothing in each section huge and meticulously organized, but the clothing itself was bloody AMAZING. Everything looked new. I kid you not. Many items still had original tags on them but those items that didn't still looked new. I looked through everything (I was there a LONG time). I didn't see one item that had an errant thread or a missing button or a defective zipper or a rip or tear or stain. Nothing had a weird, musky smell (some stuff from thrift stores have a musky smell. I know you know what I'm talking about). Every single item was in pristine condition. And I am no fashionita but even I recognized SO many big, high-end brand names: Nicole Miller, Ann Taylor, Patagonia, Columbia, Michael Kors, Guess, True Religion, Brandy Melville, Madewell....... So many more, I can't remember. Oh, Adidas, Nike, Puma, Athletica..... You get the idea. High quality, brand names, all in pristine condition. -I see some people complaining about pricing here. Well, compared to so many thrift stores, this Goodwill's pricing is freaking amazing! Tops are in the $3.99-5.99 range (keep in mind, some are totally new, the rest look totally new, and are in perfect condition). Jackets were $7.99-24.99. I got a bunch of tops and 2 light-weight jackets and a designer sweatshirt for under $40. C'mon, you can't beat that! And keep in mind, Goodwill isn't a for-profit organization. The money they get goes to their mission (check out their website for info on this wonderful organization and to learn how it helps people get back on their feet, in communities across the US). I really have a hard time understanding how reviewers here are complaining about the prices of items here. A new Puma work-out tank top, NEW, for $2.99? C'mon! (NOTE: every Wednesday they give an extra 20% discount to military people and folks over 62 years old. Hey, that's me! Bonus!). The household/linens area isn't large and many shelves were empty but the lady at the cash told me they'd be remodeling this area soon. So stay tuned! This is a wonderful store, and I am adding it to my "must go-to" list of places whenever I visit B'Ham.

    I will think of something creative to do with this wooden ring!

    As a person who visits thrift shops regularly (you never know what special treasure you might find) I appreciate that this Goodwill is consistently well organized and always full of "stuff". I head for the furniture section as I am on the hunt for interesting pieces to paint. Since the furniture is located in back of the store I must pass through aisles full of all kinds of tempting items hard to pass up. Today I purchased a good supply of mason jars and a large wicker basket and two spoons all for less than $5.00!

    A big store.

    Why buy it new when you can pay just as much for a old, worn-out one? The prices they charge are RIDICULOUS

    I especially like how the book section always seems organized with books shelved into easy to find categories.

    I cannot possibly praise Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop more. They helped us to liquidate our…read moreproperty in September 2020. We had a very complex moving situation. We have been in the process of downsizing and moving my parents, during COVID-19, from Point Roberts, WA across the border to Canada. Point Roberts is separated from mainland USA by two borders (in & out of Canada) and, with the border restrictions and safety concerns, the timing couldn't be worse. Also, there is no market for an Estate Sale out of our home, as the Point Roberts community is very small, isolated and practically empty at the moment as it mostly consists of Canadians with a 2nd vacation home who do not currently have access to their properties. Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop really came through for us and exceeded ALL expectations. The communication and response time was excellent. They showed up on the date expected and were very calm and patient during the stressful, but necessary, process. They gave our generations of belongings a 2nd chance at life as donations or to be sold by their business, rather than being sent to the dump (which was our only alternative option). The owner, R.B. Wick, also appraised the value of my father's coin collection. He was very knowledgeable. Everyone we interacted with was helpful, personable, and empathetic including the owner who came himself on pick-up day. I also appreciated their interest in sustainability and giving back to the community by donating to those in need affected by the recent fires in Washington. I give Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop 10 out of 10 stars!

    Need to make some money fast? Then this is your spot. I sold some old coins, collectible Disney…read morestuff, and an old camera here. I of course didnt get as much as I would have liked for everything, but I do feel the amount they gave me was fair.
