Things have only gotten worse here. The pricing is outrageous more expensive than any other thrift…read morestore. This is like a high end boutique in Carmel. There are no bargains here, you'll be paying more than ebay or Etsy on items that they get for free. Why don't they markdown items that don't sell? They wont negotiate on their prices either. This is a strict business which doesn't care if you return to patronage. They don't support our community, only their cause. And how do they support our veterans? I have no idea because they won't tell us. They should put out a new letter that documents what they're doing for our veterans with all of our donations. My husband is a proud veteran but gets no benefits from here. Oh, only a10% discount, and only if you have your discharge paperwork. There are NO BARGAINS HERE. They rarely have sales, only once in while and rarely have free things, items that won't sell but are basically broken down garbage which belongs in the landfill, with the exception of books, lp's and dvd's or vhs. Nothing good or useful. Moreover, the staff is unwilling to negotiate prices, indicating a strict business approach that does not prioritize customer loyalty. They are not friendly and somewhat rude and snotty, especially the young man cashier, he's just rude and uncaring. I find it disconcerting that they scrutinize donations and selectively accept only items they deem saleable. As a result, we no longer donate to this organization. Why do I come back? With hopes that some day it will get better. Especially after reading all the similar negative and disparaging reviews, it's not just me who sees all the unfavorable things here. Its our community speaking, please listen to your community and act accordingly.

I have donated a ton of stuff here. My mom passed last year and I have been purging. The store is…read moreclean and organized. However the man guy I always see when donating stuff seems like he doesn't like his job. Never seen him smile once. I actually feel kinda awkward donating here and try to avoid it now. You would think since you are giving them free stuff they get to sell they could at least say thank you.

Lost its charm in recent years. My biggest gripe is that they used to have 2 fitting rooms and now…read morethey only have one (they got rid of both and then later added back a single large room), which is annoying but wouldn't be as big of a deal if they didn't also limit you to 5 items and 10 minutes in the room before kicking you out. Since this change, almost every single time I've gone to try something on I have to wait for someone to be done with the fitting room, and whenever I get out there's another person waiting for me. I will not be returning unless/until they sacrifice a little bit of floor space for a small fitting room to accommodate the amount of customers they get on the daily. They're extremely popular/busy and get their items for free, I feel like they can afford it lol. Aside from the fitting room situation, their staff is generally friendly and positive. I have pretty much exclusively found clothing items here, their home and furniture section is pretty small and usually uninteresting. It seems like at least 1/4 (possibly more) of their clothing selection is comprised of jeans and about half (if not more) is comprised of low quality fast fashion items. I used to come here and leave with at least one thing I loved every time, and I've left empty handed the past few times I've come here now because the quality to price ratio is way worse than it used to be. On top of everything, their prices have definitely gotten more expensive over the years which has also led me to not shop at goodwill as much in general. The gist of it is Goodwill needs to stop being greedy lol.

Martin is the least professional designer I've worked with. His work is of questionable quality and…read morehe doesn't do what he says he'll do. No follow through and no integrity. I've worked with a couple of great designers in the Bay Area, he is not in that category. A really fun day after the whole process is almost done is installation day. The designer delivers you all your furniture and places it where you've planned. This installation day is essential because both parties inspect the finished product and, hopefully, approve of the work. A seasoned and high quality designer always does this last part. He failed to do so. I do not trust him.

This carpenter is the worst carpenter I've ever worked with. Not only he delayed our windows and…read moredoors work for our house so many times, but also, he did inferior quality of work. Our contractor requested him so many times to keep his work schedule, but he ignored and delayed his work. He is not a responsible person and is not professional carpenter. Our house was newly constructed 3 years ago, but already has many problems with windows and doors he made. I requested so many times to him to fix, but no responses from him at all. It's hard to believe he is still in business. Please stay away from this carpenter, otherwise you will have nothing but waiting time and money.
