One of the only large thrift stores in Kingston, other than Value Village (and a couple of…read moreconsignment shops). I generally enjoy shopping here, but one thing I notice here compared to Value Village is the clothing here is usually in worse condition. Do they not check over the merchandise when pricing? It seems any time I find something good, something's wrong with it. I came this morning and found a nice Roots pullover (score!) but when I looked closer there was a purple stain all over the front. Then I found a Wilfred Diderot sweater ($98 value), but noticed a large rip in the arm. I know it's a second hand store but come on, we don't want ruined merchandise. I will say that I like that the fitting rooms let you take in 9 items, rather than just 6 at Value Village. Overall it's an OK spot for thrifting, but they need to do better on quality control.

This post is in regards to service at the Talize store in Kingston, Ontario. On October 28th, 2026…read moreI purchased a pair of jeans. When I got home I found a hole in the seat of the pants. I had missed noticing at time of purchase. I returned the next day at 11:10 am to return the jeans. I did not have the original tag for the jean. I was told they could not take the pants back and said that policy was such that there is nothing they could do. I spoke to the manager, a woman in who appeared to be in her later forties, long bleached blond curly hair. She advised that she could not do anything for me (the jeans had cost me $50). I asked if I could get the contact information of her supervisor. She told me she was the manager on duty. When I asked her to speak to her supervisor she directed me to contact head office. I asked for her name or her employee number as I wanted to refer to it when speaking to the head office. She refused citing that the information about her name or employee number was confidential. Since the given name and the first letter of the last name appear on the bill of sale I come to the conclusion the MANAGER LIED TO ME. For whatever reason she did not want to divulge any information about herself. No name, no employee number. I appears that this manager of the store lacks integrity. Not taking the jeans back because of the tag missing is their policy. I get that. I doubt very much that lying is in their policy,

I love second hand shopping, so I was excited to try a new thrift store in Kingston! This place…read morehowever, was really...shabby. It reminds me of a yard sale crossed with walking into someone's dirty cluttered basement. Nothing is organized well, things are all over the place, scattered on little tables everywhere. Clothes are not displayed well, and the kids clothes are just piled up and attempted to be labelled with age/size. As I was walking near the back of the store, I felt a cobweb on my face (ew!) I wiped it off, then about a foot ahead of me was a dangling dead spider, hanging from the ceiling. That was enough for me...I raced out of there! I guess they don't clean properly, or there's just so much dirty clutter that they can't keep it clean. I hate to give such a negative review to a new place, but it was literally the most terrible 10 minute shopping experience. Yuck!

Hmph. I have serious bones to pick with Value Village. However, it remains to be one of the few…read moreremaining second hand stores in Kingston and I'll begrudgingly cart out to the wasteland of West Kingston every now and then to pick up some new duds. My beef is mainly the price. The prices have really gotten stupid over the last few years...However, they do occasionally have great steals and I have many a shirt, pair of boots and a few jackets that I count amongst my treasured possessions gleaned from VV boutique's aisles. My other issue is purely philosophical in that Value Village is owned in part by (gasp) Walmart. BUT! My groaning aside, I still head out. Two to three hours later and fifty bucks down I'm usually set for another semester. Also, they usually have random housewares and knick nacks that I'm always forgetting that I need. 20L glass carboy for beer brewing? Right on!

This is probably the best second hand store in town as I've found a lot of great deals, but I've…read morealso found cigarette burns and stuff like that on coats. I used to drop in once a week and would occasionally walk away with a NFL/NBA jersey. Once scored a great condition Peyton Manning Jersey and an equally good Randy Moss in the same trip. You can also find some pretty awesome jackets there, once found a roots leather jacket that went for a couple hundred on eBay. Overall I'd say this place is very good at what they do.
