Raise your hand if you like a scavenger hunt! Those of you with hands in the air, follow me. We're going on an adventure. At the Goodwill Outlet, we will circle around the large bins of miscellanea-clothing of all sorts and sizes, books, household items-all mixed together for the thrill of the hunt. We don't go here looking for something specific, but rather let the treasures make themselves known. It can take a bit of looking, but if we're lucky we will find something great. Periodically, the staff brings out new bins. At that time, the old ones will be rolled away and the hoards of people who are standing by eagerly will pounce on the new bins when they are declared available. It's fun, it's wild and it's unpredictable. Clothing is paid by the pound, and you can score some pretty good deals. Happy hunting! read more

Goodwill Outlet - Thrift Stores Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I'm pretty sure all the unsold stuff from all the stores go here. I'm not 100% sure but seemed that way if you're looking for clothes or books this would be the place to go. Anything else you won't find it!! read more

I used to really enjoy donating and shopping with Goodwill, but in recent years, they have been making that difficult and based on this online purchase, I'm going to provide feedback that hopefully encourages change. In general, I have two issues with Goodwill. 1) Pricing. Items used to be affordable and as of late, items cost far more than reasonable. Should never see anything used at Goodwill that I know I could find new at Costco for a competitive price 2) limited discounts. I found another thrift store in my area that does exactly what Goodwill lshould. When you donate to them, you get a coupon for either 10% or 15% off. Great incentive to have people come in to donate. It tells me you value my donation and purchase. For this purchase my concern was the slow, lazy, sloppy handling of my auction item. In other Goodwill auctions, I paid for my item and it shipped in 24 hours. In this case, I reached out after 3 days and got a reply that standards handing was 5 days. My item did ship the following day, most likely based on my ticket, but this is my gripe. As someone who has spent decades in logistics, it's clear to me this is an amateur operation. Any efficient seller would package and stage the items after taking photos, that way, when the auctions closes and payment is tendered, all you have to do is apply a label and hand it off to the carrier. That is same day shipping made easy. The true burn is Goodwill charges a handling fee. Who charges handling fees anymore, it's a scam! If you charge to handle my items, I certainly expect you to expedite them, with delay, otherwise you are just padding profits. Here is the problem, If I don't bid, item's don't sell for as much, which means less money to Goodwill, so do us both a favor, when I pay 3x of the auction starting price and you charge me for handling, and I pay the minute that auction closes, my item better ship next day, or I'll never bid on another auction. Goodwill is always literally begging for community support, I provide it through purchases and donations and never get anything less than a hassle. Recently, I bought an item that was mismarked, the size on the ticket didn't match the label. I bought it based on the ticket assuming it was correct, when I attempted to return it, I was told it had to go back to the original store of purchase, because it was out of district for my local store. Isn't Goodwill, Goodwill? I'd hope you could return to any store and if accounting is that tight, charge back the return to that location. Again, Goodwill is earning a reputation for being less than accommodating, and I don't think they can afford that public profile. read more

Thrifting extreme! If you want to compete with resellers and find the "last chances" of the Salt Lake City Goodwills, this experience is for you ... and I will say experience. This isn't shopping! This is digging, close quarters, bins, rope drop runs. Think Black Friday multiple times an hour. The advantage to your hunt is cheap pricing. On the Saturday we went, the clothes were $1.99/lb. This seems to be a scale they can change any day as the price is just listed on a computer screen. read more

I've been to a few Goodwill Outlet locations. This one was the cleanest I've been to. It had nice staff and the lines were short The place was busy. We got there midday and like all other locations, the carts were taken already. People were standing around (waiting for new bins, I assume) and some were digging through the bins. Bring your own bags is my advice We stayed about 45 mins, never saw a new bin come out so I assume they rotate every hour or more. They had more bins then I'm used to. The bins weren't as organized as other locations (housewares vs clothing vs shoes). They were all kinda intermixed. The place was pretty warm (temp was over 100 outside). read more

A Horrible experience. I asked them to pack the item with care and what I got was the items thrown into a box. I wrote to the location BEFORE it was shipped and was assured by the person replying: Reply On 5/30/2024: "We will pack with extra bubble wrap and cardboard to avoid damages". Look at the photo - Do you see any bubble wrap? Do you see any protective packing material anywhere? Does this look it was packed WITH CARE? Does it look like this location cares about how they treat customers? It doesn't look that way to me. It's your time and money - use it well! read more

Goodwill Outlet - I requested bubble wrap and packing material for protection - what I got were the two items jumbled together and thrown into an empty box - Thrift Stores Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Bro I legit have spent 8 hours there and actually bought a garbage 5 pound jacket that was filthy! I'm just really sad because now I have to fight in a di line to get decent shoes clothes or really anything. It so sad because other bins are still good and this place had running shoes for days. Now it's just trash literally. It makes me sad to get taxed at a regular goodwill but the bins is just vile read more

Four stars because I personally love coming here. Ask anyone who knows me, and my perfect morning is at the goodwill outlet. The prices are by the pound so they A. Are literally the cheapest you can come by and B. Are not able to ridiculously mark up ANYTHING. Minus one star because the bathrooms are unacceptable and because they're not open on Sunday, when every other Goodwill location in Utah is. OPEN ON SUNDAYS. read more

I was sad to see just a ton of bins with clothes piled in them. Everything was mixed together, so it was impossible for me to find a starting point for anything. read more

Goodwill Outlet - It was just a warehouse with bins of clothes and stuff all mixed together. Sad that the other photos were not accurate. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

This store was really strange. This is an absolute last resort type of place. This is where you go if you absolutely NEED some cheap clothes (trust me, that's all that's there), and would rather dig through big blue bins that are full of them. Your cart is weighed by the pound, and that's what they charge you. Sort of a "flat rate" store. The thing is, this is a great concept, but the one here in SLC was less than pleasant. It was very scattered, everything was everywhere. You really had to dig through them to find anything. As I said, it's all in big blue bins, which would have been fine, if there were CATEGORIES. Nope, you can find ratty mens socks in the same bin as Levi's skinny jeans. There is a simple solution to this, which is to separate mens stuff from womens stuff, separate tops from bottoms, separate shorts from pants, separate outerwear from inner wear, etc. The store was super dirty, everything was everywhere, and I will never unsmell the bathrooms. Not a pleasant experience. By the way, there are four other Goodwills in the area that are so much nicer. The best one was the Goodwill Store in West Jordan, on 6980 S Redwood Road. That one was clean, organized, and had super helpful staff. Go to that one, it's much nicer. read more

I decided to stop by this thrift store while running some errands. I'm not a big thrifter, but every once in a while I like to check out the thrift stores to see if they have any good items or things I need. This place is basically a big warehouse with giant garbage bins full of items. I believe this is the place that has one of the cheapest prices and that is the main point of this thrift store. It's not for looks or for service, but for the price! I walked around the bins for a little while and I realized you definitely have to DIG through those bins to find something good. Even if this place has little to no service or any sort of dignity, it would help if there were a few easy changes to the place. I found it difficult to locate anything. It would be nice if there could be some paper signs on the garbage bins as to what the bin mostly consists of, like "men's clothes" or "children's clothes". I also feel like it would be nice if there could be a sort of dignity to the place. It almost felt like people were digging through the trash. It is pretty dimly lit inside the building and there is no sort of "welcoming feeling", maybe some color to the place would help make it feel more like an establishment rather than a place of homelessness. I believe this place helps many people with finding things they need for an affordable price and that is awesome! However, some small changes might help the atmosphere of the place and make it seem a bit more inviting. read more

I totally loved it!! If you have the patience enough to looking for things, you can find really good deals. It's really affordable and a enjoyable experience read more

There's an okay selection but I couldn't really find anything that wasn't lower quality which touché it is a secondhand clothing store

Ever wonder where the stuff goes that doesn't sell at the Goodwill? Yes, it goes to third world countries. But, where does it go before that? To this warehouse where they bring everything out in huge bins and you dig through it all, fill your cart, and pay by the pound. A lot of it is crap, but you can clothe your family for pennies if you need to. They pretty much have all the same stuff that a normal Goodwill sells including the occasional pair of designer jeans, but consider this like the "scratch and dent" stuff comparatively, or the stuff that just didn't quite meet their "stringent" quality controls. Not sure why because some of it is pretty decent. Anyways, most bins stay out for a specific period of time - long enough to give everyone a chance to pick through them, then they take them back and bring out new bins and everyone attacks like jungle piranha. Dig deep enough and and you will find plenty to take home. I found an Ed Sheeran t shirt, some good clean toddler size clothes for my nephew, a near mint condition Tonka bulldozer and a Nikon 35mm camera all for $9. I don't care about Ed Sheeran, so I sold the shirt on eBay for $8 and got most of my money back already. I didn't even wash it. Man, I'm a jerk. read more

See all

I heard about this place from many friends and friends at school and so me and two of my other friends decided to go our older sister, or his older sister was taking us and we showed up there and I really liked the idea of it because of instead of it, being like savers, where people will come and clear everything out, you kinda have an equal chance basically, the idea of that is that when they bring bins out, people are able to stand behind a kind of caution taped off-line, and when that line is brought back, people are able to go and look for the stuff. Everybody's kind of just very aggressive but it's nothing personal. It's just them wanting a thrift, after the bin had been cleared out on all the good stuff had been found they would tell everybody to get back behind the caution, tape lines, and they would switch the bin they had brought out with a brand new bin in the back room they brought it out and then they counted down and everybody ran to find the new thrift stuff you can see the video I found some Carhart jeans of vintage Nike jacket and some corduroy Levi'sI was very impressed with what I found and I felt nice cause usually when I go to savers or Goodwill I don't really find all that much but this felt like I had a good chance. Five stars do recommend. read more

I usually love the bins but i went today with a bag of my personal clothes worth 1000$ and i asked if i could keep it behind the counter so they could watch it till i found a cart, i come back 45 minutes later with a cart and my bag is gone. so i freak out and talk to management and they say they don't have it but they will look and that it most likely was thrown into the trash compactor? They search and nothing, i later asked a worker if he saw a bag behind the counter would he throw it into the trash compactor and he said if the bag was behind the counter he would leave it till its picked up and if not by the end of the day put it in the back, sorry i know this is a long story but I'm wondering what to do? read more

First the guy who said the stuff here is things that didn't meet Goodwill standards is wrong. 'The bins' are over flow. Stuff that didn't sell at Goodwill and they needed to move out to make room for new inventory in the store. I found a mink coat today. So yeah... there more to it than things being 'scratch and dent.' I'm even seeing some DI tags there and I know the church sells off stuff they don't sell after having it sit around in their store... so wondering if Goodwill is buying it. That said... welcome to Covid 19, 2020. In other states Goodwill Outlet is being very conscious as to limiting the people in the store, social distancing, etc. Here they obviously care nothing for their customers. Though the have signs up about social distancing, nothing is being enforced. Monday they at least had bins spaced ab bit. Today? Nadda. They even had a group of people who weren't even shopping but sat in camp chairs in a group of three hour, blocking three of the bins and the isle do no one could get through. One of them actually laid down in the bins and the other had his large dog sitting in one. I'm sorry but what the ... ? Most people aren't wearing masks and yeah, it's the Wild West out there. Kids were even running around with a Nerf type gun shooting each other and anyone who got in the way. I know it's filthy dirty Goodwill Outlet where you can find people's dirty underwear that GW threw in. But seriously maybe at least some moderation from management? Some logic? Some sense of trying to make it even a little safe? Maybe have the male appendages enough at least to ask that people not nap in the bins and perhaps find somewhere else to loiter? Maybe give at lease a tiny bit of a .... read more

I usually only write reviews when the customer service has been exceptional or absolutely awful. In this situation, IT WAS AWFUL. First of all, get some signs posted if you guys have rules. Tiffany was so rude about their rules that we were just supposed to know by walking in there once? No. I'm not okay with the way she treated us at all. She needs to be talked to about the way she's treating people. I get it can be tough to work in a situation like goodwill and have swarms of people but the least they could do is say, "hey we are trying to switch the bins out we ask that everybody stay to the sides until we have them switched out & when we say you're good, you're good" but being our first time in we had no idea what was going on. So ??? No need to be rude, Tiffany. I've lost faith in humanity at this point. The rest of the workers were pleasant to work with. I hope you guys will do something about the way your workers treat people ha. read more

This place was horrible,but they keep this place really clean for there floors but everything else was just so bad

Mix and match. Best place to find random kids books at low prices. Mainly go here for that but always pick some of my own books all the time. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT HERE, I found so many gems I got about 10-20 sweaters 4-5 pants/jeans and I got lots of shirts,3-4 dresses as well. And I got 3 tote bags if you love to recycle and reduce use, and are in the area come here I totally recommend it in total I spent 40 dollars on my clothes. I recommend this thrift store strongly! read more

Lots of stuff to sort through but everything is dirty and unorganized and/or damaged. I get that it's kinda the point of rummaging through things however there weren't many hidden treasures when we went in. read more

This location is not a traditional thrift store. Instead it is a place where you can buy clothing and other items such as blankets by the pound. read more

Although this place is a little dirty (it's a second hand warehouse, what do you expect) I have found some very neat things looking through the bins. And it's VERY well priced. I bought 7 clothing items and a few books and it ended up only costing 20$ dollars. read more

What an awesome experience. This is the epitome of thrift stores. Huge bins, never know what your going to find but some of the finds are extraordinary, do some digging and you'll find name brands and some brand new clothes. read more

Its rough in there but totally worth it. I've found amazing items and paid so little for them.

This goodwill store is poorly managed and customer service is abysmal. They sell a lot of their higher-end items on ShopGoodwill.com along with the entire country's goodwill stores who are on to this selling technique. My experience with them, for the first and last time, has been with ONE item. For the past four months, I have been communicating with a mystery person who will not identify themselves. You can imagine the sordid details in an anonymous person's emails when they don't think they need to be responsible for their actions, inactions, inappropriate behavior and lack of any professionalism in representing this retail store. It bothers me a lot since all of these goodwills state that they are selling their high-end donations to help train those in their community that needs a helping hand. Makes me wonder who's training, evaluating and monitoring the management of this store. This "person" blocked me from participating in any auction they have on this site telling me that I used foul language in a previous communication. So, I looked at my entire history of emails I've sent to all goodwills who use this site to sell their high-end donations. I found one, asking them why they have me blocked for using "disrespectful" and "foul" language in a previous communication. Problem is, there isn't any previous email communication that I've ever sent to them. They continue to ignore my requests for proof of their claim and I never hear back at all. I guess Forrest Gump is correct, "STUPID IS. STUPID DOES." read more
