Even though this is for profit I always find amazing finds in home goods. Some items maybe pricey…read morebut they have a daily colored tag sale which makes the treasure hunt extra fun!

There were many times I went here over the years and walked around as a sort of meditation,…read moresometimes even first time thing in the morning before I hit the road when I knew it was gonna be a tough day and you invariably would find that special deal and the rest of the day would be great RWBlue was organized, clean, a little crowded, but very easy to find what you were looking for ....everything had its place and there was a place for everything ....now I've gone back a number of times since they've changed their whole business model and they're very much like 2nd Ave. things are not as clean. They're definitely overpriced and I've never seen such a scattered mess in my life in a department store, layout.... usually most of what is there is what people are bagging up and dropping off at the dumpster there in the parking lot I'm very disappointed that they've gone so commercial...It does seem like they're cherry picking anything that's worth anything at all and leaving what you would probably find at the Salvation Army ....one step down from Goodwill. Definitely not a place where people would go to get great deals or find cool clothes or just what you wanted for the house, but didn't want to spend money on. NO NO NO Not that way anymore. Now I go in with a list I walk around try to find those things I want. Ask the girls where those things might be now and just like the department store. Things are sometimes even in two or three different places at once ....so like everything else, red, white and blue is becoming so commercial that it's not unique anymore.... it's blah blah, blah, and more blah.

I have been using Pickup Please for YEARS and have donated through this service many times, so it…read moreis extremely disappointing to see how poor the service has become. A couple of weeks ago, a driver came onto my porch, looked at the last box I had set out for donation, and then simply walked away without taking it. I have also repeatedly had issues with the donation receipts. When the pickup is on my porch, the receipt is often tossed wherever the driver happens to leave it, including in the middle of my driveway. Most recently, I received confirmation that my pickup was scheduled for the day. I was told that the trucks run from 8:00 a.m. and could be out as late as 6:00 p.m. I had everything properly prepared and clearly labeled "VVA" as instructed. No one ever came. I understand that routes can run late and that occasional problems happen. What is frustrating is that these are not isolated incidents. I have been a longtime donor and have used this service for years, and the level of service I am experiencing now is simply unacceptable. After years of using Pickup Please, I will no longer be using their pickup service. It is unfortunate to lose a service I had relied on for so long because of repeated issues that could have been easily avoided

I have used this veterans' donation pickup service many times in the past and have always had…read moresmooth experiences, which is why this recent interaction was disappointing. Last night I spent a significant amount of time gathering 15 bags of donations for pickup. These were not just random items -- many were new and unused, including five unopened boxes of Depends that belonged to my mother who recently passed away. I could have sold some of these items, but I chose to donate them because I believe we should take care of our veterans and support organizations that serve them. As I have done in the past, I placed all the bags together clearly on my front porch for pickup. I have had at least 10 previous pickups with this organization and have never needed to label the bags, and everything was always collected without issue. This time, however, I received a phone call and returned it within three minutes. By the time I called back, the driver had already left. When I spoke with the representative, the situation was framed as my fault due to a lack of labeling. While I understand that procedures may change, the interaction felt more like blame was being assigned rather than someone working with me to find a quick solution. Only after expressing my frustration was it suggested that the driver might return after completing the rest of his route for the day. I also had to call back again just to confirm whether I would receive an update either way, which added to the confusion. My main point is that good businesses work collaboratively with the people who support them. Donors are taking the time to gather and give items that could otherwise be sold or discarded, and a little flexibility and appreciation goes a long way. I did some research afterward and noticed the service currently holds around a 3-star rating, and I can understand why communication and customer experience seem to be a recurring theme in the feedback. I truly support the mission of helping veterans and hope the organization can improve its communication and willingness to work with donors, because many of us genuinely want to help.
