I bought one of those turtle lights that plays sea sounds and glows stars as a baby gift for a…read morecouple, the moment I got home I tested the product and it didn't work, in fact it even looked pretty faulty And dangerous when i opened it, I went back within the same hour because it's walking distance from my house. the smelly pig nosed cashier refused to take it back because "we don't do refunds on electronics" I told her by definition it wasn't an electronic because it doesn't work as one and they're selling it wrongly marked as one (illegal FYI) and they should've marked it as broken while selling it and their ignorance should not come out of my pockets then she tried to lie and say "it's because the tags not attached" despite the fact that I have the tag and one of the employees could easily re-attach it because they do the tags anyways and I unfortunately had to ask for her manager but she lied and told me she was the manager the only reason I know she's not because my friend works there and I've met her managers twice she blatantly lied to my face. I told her that this was a gift for a 1 month old baby and that since I'm a college student and cash is tight that I need the money back to buy a new gift for him. Still nothing, heartless. It got to the point where I told her "I could wait here all day sweetheart" (which was hard because this girl does not shower) eventually she gave me a "5$ off anything 25$ or more card" which is a bs deal even if I WASN'T returning anything and not to mention also not covering what I bought, my friend who works there stole a few cute pink shirts for me to have as compensation, probably costing more than what they took from me so I hope a they see's this and consider's it a lesson in stealing from ppl who don't have much, teaching employers proper hygiene might be needed too Store Location: 1154 Chemong Rd, Peterborough Cashiers appearance: white, blonde, short, young 20-30yrs, overweight, dark glasses, acne, ponytail, round face

My friend and I meet at Talize about every 6 weeks for a shop and lunch afterward. I'm from Minden,…read moreabout 1 1/2 drive away, so this is an event for my friend and me. I love that Talize still has change rooms. So many thrift stores no longer have change rooms, so I won't go to them as it's just too far for me to come back to return the items if they don't fit. So, having change rooms is a big plus for me. (Value Village lost my custom when they removed their change rooms). Yes, the prices are steep on some items, I certainly shop with one eye on the price. You gotta know your prices before buying. But you can still get the odd item that is a deal. Customer service is ok. The change room staff is friendly and helpful. As long as Talize keeps their change rooms, I will be back with my friend!

I had a few things to donate - which is around the LHS of the building - you'll need to back out as there wasn't much room to turn around. Seems they support both local and abroad causes, which is super. Staff seemed friendly, and are made up of a large portion of volunteers. I saw them online in a search and got there a little too close to closing as it was a bit of a hike. They let me take a quick 5 min to look around. Planning on going back.

I'm really frustrated with my experience at Value Village and unfortunately can't give a good…read morereview. There are no fitting rooms, so you have to buy items and try them on at home. When I went back to return things that didn't fit, I learned there are no refunds, only same day exchanges, with no option for store credit later. This was my third time returning items from the same purchase. Today I was also told they would not accept belts or even new, packaged socks for return. It feels a bit like a scam if I'm honest. Overall, the process has been too inconvenient, and frustrating and I will take my business to Talise.

I was here before to give my set of clothes. Some from shein, garage, TNA, and others. They sent me…read morea text when clothes were ready for pick up, took about 1-1.5h. They didn't take any of my clothes, guess it's not what's "in", which is okay. I go around here from time to time to spot some nice deals on clothes from Aritzia / Lulu. I noticed quite a lot of poorly used clothes on the rack and even with holes and rips. You really have to ensure the clothes are in good enough condition to your liking before purchasing. They do offer refund anyway just in case within 7 days, clearance items are final though so make the right decision. I have purchased a few great deals from here. I think it's a nice place to get second hand or even brand new items when you get lucky. So many lightly used but you just have to be patient and go through stuff, eventually you'll find nice ones. Quick tip on white clothes - check collar area and underarms to ensure no discolouration. Darker colour clothes - I don't know about you but I dislike deodorant / lotion marks when I pick it up from the rack. Just a random thought! I will continue coming here once in a while just to snatch some good deals especially when they have promos!
