    Well organized, ready to take donations. They were ready to hand out receipts to those who need them.

I understand being on your phone and not hearing is annoying for anyone, but I was on the phone for a few seconds with no one behind me in line for the self checkout. You never know what kind of day a person is having, and good customer service goes a long way. The other workers were running around working hard. Will not be going back.

    This Savers in Nashua, NH is an absolute dump. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless…read moreyou enjoy being ripped off and digging through filthy junk that should have been thrown away. Zero stars if that were an option. The store is disgusting, and the pricing is beyond outrageous. These are donated items, yet they're charging more than original retail prices. The shoes were revolting--dirty, worn, and completely unsanitary. I couldn't believe they were even allowed on the sales floor. The prices are a complete joke. The purses were just as bad. The "name brand" bags up front were priced higher than what you can buy them for brand new. This is a thrift store, not a luxury boutique--act like it. The staff made the experience even worse. No greeting, no customer service, nothing. When I asked an employee for help, she flat-out told me she was too busy while standing around gossiping with another employee. The lack of professionalism was shocking. This place is a mess from top to bottom. Management clearly doesn't care, employees aren't trained, and customers are treated like an inconvenience. Do yourself a favor and shop literally anywhere else.

    The prices are insane now! What are they thinking asking $5 for used, old stained, kid's clothing?…read moreWomen's clothing is also overpriced with a used blouse costing at least $7. I went to buy extra dishes for Thanksgiving but each plate or bowl, no matter its condition, was $3. I found out that day, Hobby Lobby has the SAME PRICES for NEW items! A set of four beautiful bowls, $12. Tried Home Goods and again, $12 for four plates. We can do better at any other store, even non clearance items, and they are new. Really Not-so-goodwill, you can do better. And honestly, what are you doing with all the money from customers who "round up". Jeeesh do you get to keep the interest you make on all that money. Quote; "Financial Impact of Roundup Donations Growth in Donations: Roundup donations have significantly increased, with total contributions rising from $389 million to $749 million over the past decade." Really?! Who is benefiting? The article goes on to say goodwill does not specify where the donated funds are directed.

They had great friendly staff and Tammy went out of her way to make sure we found what we were looking for at the Manchester New Hampshire Goodwill store. There was plenty of parking and great hours. Most days are 9am to 6pm. They have a great variety of product for great value. I'll be back. I hope you find time to visit, because a dollar saved is a dollar earned.

    I will never go here again. That should start to explain things…read more If it makes it a little confusing, then let me go into detail. We, myself and one other person, came in early on a Wednesday morning. It was the 13th, to be specific. And we came in at approximately 8:56 am. What we didn't know however, was that it was Senior hour from 9:30 am to 10:30. That isn't what I'm complaining about though. Sure, we were a bit miffed that this wasn't on the website when we came but we didn't have any problem with it. We just sat there and waited for our turn. Then, at exactly 10:26, did the rest of the people who weren't 60+ started coming and we were at the front of the line. By now, we were just happy to be getting our turn. Then, a man, whose name I will not disclose, asked if he could move forward with the last people from the line for the 60+. They asked his age, from which he respectfully replied that he was 59. They let him in. But, now you see, this is where the plot thickens. He had someone with him. A woman who was clearly disabled in a walker who needed help to move around. They didn't let her in. This was a conundrum. Why? Let me go back. Before, there was another woman in the 60+ line who pulled along with her a young woman who was clearly in her 30s and very capable of staying behind and waiting her turn. So then, I ask you, was it fair that this 30 yr old was allowed access, while this poor, disabled woman was forced to wait outside, uncomfortable, like a common stray dog? I think not. Hence, the other person that I was with, started asking the guy who was at the front door, why they didn't let the woman in. She, the other person, was very respectful, and tried her best to be understood, because she had a bit of an accent and some words ran together occasionally. The guy looked a bit affronted. Then a woman who worked there came out and the whole thing started all over again. Then, he came out. I believe his name is Will McGovern. The pantry manager. This guy had to be 6'3 maybe, with a beer gut, blond, blue eyes, and holding a shake from McDonalds. He came out with fury in his eyes. He then started spewing, and pardon my language, bullshit about how she was disrespecting his employees, and a whole bunch of other shit. I swear, the guy was on a rampage. The people behind us were shocked. And angry. She looked shocked as well. She vehemently denied this, stating that she had only been asking. Anyone with eyes could see this. Literally anyone. The guy just kept saying "I dunno. I only know what I heard." In this namby-pamby little prissy boy voice. I was shaking by this point. Not from fear though. Oh no, not from fear. Rather, from anger. Anger that this incompetent little overgrown brat called this other person, who happens to be a close family member of mine, a liar. He then proceeded to pluck the card, the card that you use to get in, right from her hand and said that he would permanently take this away from her if she continued to disrespect his employees. I had enough of this by this point. I got right up in his face and told him off. I said, "Sir, I apologize for whatever you think you heard, but clearly, you are not listening. She told you what happened but you just wan't to live in your own little world of denial. I can vouch for this woman. She is trustworthy and she has never lied a day in her life. Never. She is painfully honest." I then started to say MY piece because he had his turn. It was my turn now. He was silent. Shocked in fact. I don't like causing trouble with people. I'm usually pretty easy going. But, this man, no wait, this Lounge Lizard, this social parasite, insulted us, disrespected us, and treated us like we were nothing. Like we were less than nothing. My grandparents didn't come here, to this country, to be treated like some bothersome parasite. We did not fight for our freedom, to be treated like crap. So that, when we need a little help, a little helot get back on our feet, to be treated like a common slave. So, if you, Lounge Lizard, social parasite Will McGovern, are reading this, I hope you feel ashamed of your actions. Will McGovern is a racist man who hates woman and Latinx people!

    Excellent organization! Great people! Working for the less fortunate. Love their work and kindness.read more

Just don't leave stuff during off-hours because the sign tells you not to do it, so it would be rude to do it. There's always a guy there. He's friendly enough. If you don't see him, he's either deep inside sorting out the items or inside his car next to the trailer. So just holler and he'll come right out. The new tax law has increased the standard deductions. Making it almost impossible to write off charitable donations, but please do not stop giving. More and more people need your help. Donations across the country have gone down since the new tax law. Some people feel that since they can't write it off anymore, then why bother. It's wrong to think like this because it's not about you. It's about your fellow citizen that may need that coat you haven't worn in 5 years. It's about giving away those sneakers because you have a dozen sneakers laying around, and some teenager is walking around with holes in his sneakers because his parents can't afford to buy him a new pair. It's about giving away that VCR you have in the basement collecting dusts because you're all about DVR now. So please clean out your closets, drawers, cupboards, basement, attic, and just give.

Ive shopped here a few times during the pandemic and each trip I've found the store to be completely COVID compliant. It's a large store with everything kind of spread out and at times I've found some really great items. Depending on the day or week certain color tickets go on sale. . Today the 50% off tickets were : white and blue. Green tickets : , .99 Everything is hung up and catagorized. But you do have to look through long racks - sometimes loaded with overpriced items and it takes time. If you have the patience and can deal with the fact that it's an older store, the long racks with some of the stock stained/ripped etc it can be a good place to shop for vintage, modern & anything in between. You never know what you will find! I'll also add that each time I've been here the staff are always pleasant and helpful !

    I was soooo impressed when I walked in here. It's been a couple years since I have come in here…read more The store is pretty big with a huge selection of clothes. They also had a good selection of nick nacks, kitchen stuff, furniture & all that other stuff out back. I was very impressed with their prices. I visited another goodwill store back in April down the street & was very disappointing as their prices were very expensive & they hardly had anything in their store. This is the store to go to!!! I went in hoping that they may have had some Pyrex for sale but didn't find any but walked out with a cat litter box, dish drying pad, old fashion travel iron and a plastic dog food container. The pet stuff I actually got for my Mom's dog & cat. I went in with my friend who was looking for some sheets for his camper bed & he walked out with this super cute small desk & chair for his daughter & a dresser for himself. Those were also reasonably priced. There was a little line that moved kinda slow. There were only 2 cashiers working. I believe they have to manually punch in the prices (I can't remember...lol) so that can make things a little slow.....so don't be in a hurry when stopping in here. In the past I've actually dropped off some donations which was very easy. They had bins on the side of the building that you drop your stuff off in or you could walk it inside next to the bins & drop it off in there. Real quick process.
