I'm not from Ashland. My daughter died and I've been getting mental health help from Tamarack Health. My brand new truck broke down. I barely made it to the dealership. It was going to be a good 45 minute wait until someone could rescue me. So I decided to go to the closest place...Goodwill. Upon entering it was well lit And maybe 3 people in the store. As I headed to the back of the store. I was yelled at. She yelled backpacks at the front of the store Now! It was very rude! If this is how you treat people. I will never donate to you again. I'm ashamed you would treat anyone in this manner. I've owned a Corporation for forty years. Niemi Trucking Inc. Ashamed of you! Do Better! People make the place! Goodwill has always given me a feeling I was donating to a safe haven for those in need! I was proven wrong today. read more

Went to donate new/ sealed merchandise worth almost $12000, but was unsure how and where to bring the items . I went inside to get information since I am not familiar with the process. An associate/sales person angerly told me that the drop-off is outside then kept repeating "can't you see it!" several times while pointing outside. Then I was told that the place is full and don't need anymore donations. I will never donate or support this ungrateful company who thinks humiliating me in front of customers is o.k. Give to St. Vinnies, animal shelters, at least they don't pay their CEO millions of dollars! read more

Will consider leaving a greater review if my issue can be resolved. Before this location moved buildings, it was quite small, hardly found items when shopping. Now that they have a larger facility, perhaps they got more items in to shop for. I was impressed. Today I left with a full cart! Now onto my issue; upon unloading my items when I got home and checking my receipt, I came to realize I was charged twice on not just one item, but two. I can take some blame not paying attention as the cashier is scanning, yet again, I had a full cart to unload. Once realizing the mistakes, I called the number on the receipt only to be greeted by "the number you dialed is not in service" prompt (I don't know how recent this location switch took place, but I'd assume a large organization would have operation phone lines as soon as they were reopened?) I am not a resident of Ashland county as I traveled from another county to shop here, so it's not so much as an "easy fix" to drive an hour+ any time to resolve this. Hoping this review can bring resolution until the next time I am able to travel up to Ashland, by then I can only imagine it being too long since my purchase to resolve the discrepancy. read more

Goodwill - Covered the cashier's name to respect their privacy. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

When I lived in Ashland, my friends and I all frequented this store weekly. While it is not as large as Duluth's, they got a lot of their items on rotation. I found some good items here at good prices. I do wish it was a bit bigger. read more

It's a goodwill. I'm adding a review because it doesn't deserve to be rated one star, it's just fine for a Goodwill. What Goodwill is a 5 star experience? If you want a five star experience you should try the places the donated items came from new, those places can afford to offer a 5 star experience. Goodwills generally offer a 3.5 star experience and that's just fine. You're not getting a 5 star rank for offering used bras and dinged up end tables, and old weird appliances. But there's good stuff there and the people running it are doing a great job keeping this place going. I got my dinged up end tables there, and my closet. It's a place people need, and it keeps some good stuff out of the landfill. Great job! All the stuff you're looking for from a Goodwill, you'll find here. I've been going to thrift shops since I was a kid, none are 5 star experiences. People don't donate all their favorite stuff, they donate things they no longer want. sometimes the reason is because the item wasn't great in the first place, sometimes things fit weird, and sometimes it's great stuff they just didn't want anymore. You're taking a chance. Also, to people who say the stuff is overpriced, yep, some is, don't buy that stuff. How much do you think it costs to heat that building? To pay the employees a living wage? I doubt this place is rolling in profit. And if you want a 5 star experience those prices will have to go up. read more

These people offer true junk for high prices, ripping off people who already have little money. We bought some defectively made shower curtain hangars; they looked fine, but when we got them home, they were weighted in such a way that the "upper loop" slipped off the shower curtain rod any time you moved it. We returned these items in pristine condition, repackaged, and explained the problem. The manager said that we could return them for a $5 exchange next time she was in. Well, we returned repeatedly and -- guess what? -- she was never there. Finally, we found her there, and she said, "Oh, it's been too long." Hey, nice setup there, lady! Avoid this place like the plague -- worthless junk for hyperinflated prices to rip off those with little money. They lost our business. Go to one of the other thrift shops or Walmart -- it's actually cheaper. I actually compared a couple of prices, and Walmart WAS cheaper, and even the ones that were cheaper are all problematic and have no guarantee. As usual, those with the least money have the least right to be treated as human. read more
