I mean, this is one of those Goodwills that you have to dig through bins to find what you want. I suppose for some, that makes it exciting. I think you really have to have a treasure hunt mind set. I went on a Saturday. While someone said the regulars are rowdy, sitting near the cash register waiting for a cart, I saw a few families and pairs of people. No one seemed all that rushed or excitable. So, like I said, no cart. But while waiting for one, I saw two families check out with some pretty decent stuff they would probably get for less than $10. I think I would have rated it higher - but I really wasn't trying to dig through bins. (I mean if plus size stuff is hard to find at the regular stores, how much of it will someone find in a bin - and I really just wanted a winter coat.) Plus, hey, I was willing to, but didn't want to do that w/o a cart. I do agree with the reviewer who said it was clean. It was just as or even more clean than a regular Goodwill. read more

It is what it is - a treasure hunt! if you enjoy that type of thing, you'll love it, if not, stay away. I, and others, spend hours there. new bins/tables are brought out periodically (not sure how often, 30 mins maybe?) and starts the hunt all over again. I have bought so much useful things, and very cheap. you pay by the pound, and if one of the items would weigh more, the max to pay for it is $6.99. read more

Not a bad place to find some hidden treasures. But be careful, the regulars are kinda rowdy. Stay out of their way. Wear gloves and maybe a mask. I go often. I'm a reseller and make a little pocket change from time to time. For a goodwill outlet it's pretty clean. read more

Love the bins! I know it's not everyones cup of tea to dig through lots of STUFF that's both good and bad...sometimes very bad :). But, I have found so many great things that I try to visit as often as possible. You just never know what will turn up. I found the staff to be friendly as wel. A smile can go a long way. Hope it never reverts to a regular Goodwill store where the prices have become ridiculous! read more

I lived down the street from here for 20 years now and I enjoy a daily walk to this place as far back as I can remember! Always a treasure to find! read more

I've heard rumors that this location might eventually change to a regular Goodwill store, and I hope that's not the case -- the bins are truly one-of-a-kind and such a great resource for the community. This place brings together thrifters, bargain hunters, and local families in a way that a regular store just wouldn't. It's more than shopping; it's a shared experience that supports creativity, sustainability, and community connection. I would really hate to see this change. Losing the bins would take away a unique way for people to explore, discover, and enjoy the thrill of the hunt that makes Heidelberg Goodwill so special. Not to mention, devastating to the shoppers that cannot afford the prices of a regular store. Please keep this treasure as it is! read more

As I reseller I love going here and finding merchandise to sell. I go about once a week and it always feels like a treasure hunt to me. I really hope the rumors of it being changed to a regular Goodwill are not true. I would not travel the hour I currently do to shop at a regular Goodwill and at that point would probably end up going to the Canton Ohio one which is only slightly further from me. read more

Today 1030Am still no change.. Manager assistant manager and two kids and no change..what the hell

They take forever to change out the bins only for them to be full of tagged junk. Waste of time

Every time I check out, I swear the old woman with the black framed glasses overcharges me by at least 20.00. Then when I point it out she says oh sorry. If this has happened multiple times with me then it's happening to others. You need to retrain her or watch her closely. read more

Get ready to get your hands dirty, and maybe get in to a fight! This place is a total s#&t show, but is worth the hassle. I can not tell you how many fantastic deals I have found here. I am an avid thrift shopper, it's my #1 favorite thing to do. This place has no shortage of deals if you are able to sort through all of the bins and withstand the people looking over your shoulders trying to snatch things out of your hands (not even kidding) The fact that local goodwill stores donate their goods here, and you can get clothing for $.25 a pound is fantastic. However, it's sad to see people who really REALLY need those clothes to dig to the bottom of the bins to find things. I kind of just graze through the isles and look for thins that stick out to me. A suggestion would be for the employees to be a little more careful when sorting items. I've seen some filthy things thrown in with clothes and household items - There is also glass that somehow gets thrown in with them - and you will see that with how aggressive some shippers are here - there may be an instance where someone gets cut on something that shouldn't be in there. read more

0/10 Attitude. Gross. Rude. Tried to ask civil questions and get cheaper table and they all acted like I was some sort of alien. Weird vibes don't go here. Goodwill is corrupt anyways they don't pay their cashiers enough ever. Don't blame the cashiers as much as I do management because management had same attitude as cashiers. read more

I mean, it's thrift store if you're looking top notch items you're not likely to find them there, but having said that I love this place. It's truly fun to go through the bins and it's pretty cool how they switch them out every half hour to hour and especially with the pay what it weighs aspect. I've gotten quite a few awesome finds there the only downfall is it's always crowded. Sometimes there's no parking spots. And you could really kill time there I mean you go in before you know it. You've been there for three hours if you've never been check it out. read more

Goodwill is a fun place to find unusual stuff, but like everyone else says, it's way overpriced. There's no way a poor person could afford something in goodwill much less an outfit. It's out of control. I donate elsewhere because I want people in need to actually be able to buy my goods. read more

This is one of just a handful of Goodwill clearance centers in the country. Shopping here is well, an experience. They take donations from the public, from retail stores, and "leftovers"and overstock from other Goodwill stores. First, as soon as you walk in, grab a cart (to your right, next to the entrance). You're going to need it. Just trust me on this. Everything, save for a back wall of knick knacks and glass ware, is in huge, wheeled bins. And no, it's not sorted. That's your job. Everything is basically piled into bins, regardless of item type. Sometimes, they will have a couple of bins near the entrance with mostly clothes and linens, but don't count on it. You can find clothes, toys, linens, seasonal decorations, pet toys, pots, pans and shoes. All in one bin. Keep sifting and pawing through the dozens of bins. You'll most likely find something useful. In the back, diagonally across from the entrance, is furniture. You're going to find bargains. And yes, they'll bargain with you, but not at the cash register. Poke your head out into the receiving lobby in the back of the store (by furniture). There's usually a door attendant or two, unloading vehicles at the drive-up donation entrance. Ask them. They're usually willing to drop a price. But please, be fair. Goodwill's mission is to help those less fortunate become self sufficient. So don't lowball them on a new desk. Please. They're electronics (anything with an electrical cord) are $1.29. Each. There's electrical outlets on the back wall, to the left of the employee doors where they come in and out with the bins. They make announcements every hour when they roll out new bins and remove the "old" ones. Please stand clear. They move those suckers fast. They accept cash, credit cards and debit cards. Some hardcore shoppers wear gloves, because not everything that's donated is clean. Some bring their own bags. Goodwill does have some cardboard boxes just inside the doors for glassware, etc. but bring your own, in case they run out. Or, donate some boxes. I recommend bringing newspaper to wrap your delicate items, too. And if you buy furniture or heavy items, they'll help you load it in your car. Just ask. I tip them, but that's up to you. The employees are always nice, friendly and willing to answer questions or help. Beware, because some shoppers are not nice or polite. Just find another bin, and more treasures in another aisle. read more

Goodwill - Convenient! Drive right up and then unload your donations for you. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Heidelberg, Pennsylvania

It's clean, organized and the staff is friendly. I like that they have teacher, military and senior discounts. We also like the 99 cent color discount on Sundays! read more

The employee was rude when arriving at the distribution center. They would not take our donations although there we're similar items that had just been donated the car before us. Waited until we got the entire donation out of the car to tell us they wouldn't take it. read more
