Urban Exchange in Murrieta is one of my go-to spots whenever I need to clean out my closet. They make the selling process quick, easy, and the offers are always fair and reasonable. Their pricing in-store is also super reasonable, which makes it perfect for finding cute pieces for events, last-minute outfits, or just refreshing your wardrobe without overspending. I definitely recommend Urban Exchange if you're looking to sell clothes or shop for fun, affordable finds! read more

Urban Exchange - Thrift Stores Near Me - Temecula, California

I come here often. I usually find a couple of cute things I want. I like the music there, the layout. All in all, I am a huge fan of the store. Trying to sell clothes is always a humbling experience. The prices can be high on anything that is supposed to be a higher end brand. Sometimes I see things that I have purchased in a bargain bin at anthropology or Nordstrom rack and laugh at the prices they have them for at this store. read more

Brought my teenager out for their first thrifiing experience and I was pleasantly surprised. The store was well organized and that made for a pleasant visit. Items were hung nicely and we were able.tomfind a few items they were interested in. The jeans and t shirts were abundant and it didn't take long to find items they liked. We will definitely be back. read more

Love love loveee urban exchange! Everything is so cute and the staff are the absolutely sweetest. Justin is so helpful and the absolute sweetest and accommodated to us when trying on a million different things. Highly recommend anyone to come in and take a look! read more

This place picks and chooses who they want to trade and buy back stuff no matter if you have Gen Z or free people brand or any vintage. This is the second time that they looked through my stuff and claimed I had nothing for trade or sell... I was told to leave the bag and they will look through it, i was watching from a distance the appraisal girl is what I'll call he but she barely took anything out my bag, I had free the people and vintage stuff, but two mins later a lady came in and they took everything out her bag and gave her credit. I'm saying this because I took the same items to another urban exchange and got $$$$. Maybe I would of felt better if they actually looked through my stuff and not just look at me and decide I had nothing read more

First time customer! Great selection and fun environment. So happy I stumbled upon this spot. Will definitely be back! They have a whole free people rack! read more

This is absolutely the best place ever and so much so that I don't shop anywhere else. I've brought several of friends with me a lot and they too have become regulars. One of the greatest parts is that you are getting something that no one else has and at a more than fabulous price. I can easily spend 3 hours at Urban, have so much fun doing so. The team there is a family and I get treated like one of them. It's on my 10 favorite things to do, maybe in 5, lol! read more

This review is on behalf of my mother, who visited your store recently: She was really disappointed with the customer service during her visit. When she entered the store, no one greeted her or even acknowledged she was there. She wandered around for quite a while without anyone offering help or asking if she needed assistance. It made her feel unwelcome and like her business didn't matter. She expected better service and attention. read more

Urban exchange is great, I got a fair price for my all saints jacket I brought in last winter. Keep in mind to bring in clothes that are for the current season, and don't get upset if they don't buy any of your things one time because sometimes they might just have too much stock it's nothing personal. Also you are helping reduce waist by buying clothes here verses a department store. For the most part the staff is always nice and welcoming. Overall I'd give this place 4 stars. read more

I mean, everyone isn't lying about the poor customer service. I walk in & not acknowledged. It's a Tuesday so you would expect people to be more observant as it's probably not as busy as a weekend. ++ the organization is odd & it's definitely not thrift store prices! I usually don't mind but 12 dollars for a used graphic tee is kinda insane lol. Not my cup of tea but I admire the idea! :,) read more

Love how easy it is here. Wait was less than 15 minutes given I had 4 bins of goods to sell. Will definitely be back. Service is so welcoming and fair in sales. read more

One of the BEST spots to shop for clothes in the Temecula Valley! I've been coming here ever since we moved down here from LA and it has continued to impress more and more! The clothing selection is well organized and they ALWAYS have new things in every time! This is still one of my go-to places to find clothes for any shows, events or special occasions. I have also gotten some of my favorite everyday type clothes there too! On top of that, the owners are some of the sweetest people I've ever met! One of my other fav things from there are the candles that the owner makes!! Salt Water Taffy and Pixie Dust are scents that I LOVE to have in my home! read more

I got paid 40% cash upfront for items; jeans, boots, purses, that I no longer used but didn't want to just donate or give away. While the staff looked through my items to see what they wanted to buy from me, I shopped around the store for about 15 minutes. They ended up wanting 95% of my items and I was happy to get paid. I was given the option of store credit or cash. While store credit was more value, I opted for the cash option. I also got 20% off of anything I wanted to buy on the same day so I bought a pair of like new Gucci tennis shoes for a steal price and worth way more than I paid, which made me feel as if I got more value out of the deal. The staff was friendly and said I had a good eye for fashion. I'm glad there's a unique place to shop to find those one-of-a-kind pieces to add to our wardrobes and to get paid for items that no longer serve our closets. I also referred friends who traded goods for cash and they were happy with their experience! Thank you Urban Exchange read more

Best customer service and they give you fair value on your items. I love the option to trade or sell to them. You'll always find a gem on the racks. read more

Urban Exchange - Vintage rack - Thrift Stores Near Me - Temecula, California

Very rude staff and manager acts very arrogant and very careless when you voice a concern definitely will not be coming back till new management read more

I love coming to this store! Amazing selection and especially funky jewelry. Always good vintage finds and statement pieces. Unfortunately the staff is hit or miss, some of the girls are lovely and some not so much. Selling here is a challenge due to their buying hours but not a huge deal, just plan accordingly and call ahead. Overall a great shop. read more

awful customer service. got turned away immediately upon entering because "they only take clothes in between 11-3". awesome. some of us have to work on the weekdays :) i do not understand this policy. read more

Visited on 4/17/24. It seems like a friendly place. I had my headphones on, so no one engaged me. It reminds me of Plato's Closet. It's definitely aimed at a certain group of people; there's a rack labeled Free People. I removed TWO stars for organization. At first glance, it looked organized, and sure there aren't things on the floor, and there are sizing sections clearly like most stores (S, M, L), but as you browse through, you quickly see things are all messed up. This makes finding your size an EverQuest mission, and that is just so time-consuming. The shoes are lumped together in large sizing groups. This seems bizarre to me. 8-10.5 are all mixed up. If you wear an 8, a 10 won't work and vice versa. I picked up a few shoes looking for my size before I abandoned. Store organization is extremely important in a clothing shop. There were several workers on the floor; they need to get on top of this. I don't think workers aren't doing their tasks; I found things mixed up in every section I browsed, so I think this isn't something they do? They just make sure things are picked up? Not sure. It's not a treasure hunt. Window displays and ambiences isn't enough, gotta pay attention to the small details. You're not Ross. I removed a star for sizing diversity. I did not find any plus-size section. I saw an ASOS size 18, a green dress with the back out. It wasn't to my taste. I saw some XL, but they belonged to those brands where their XL is closer to a medium, to be frank. I assume any plus-size clothes fly off the shelves or sit and rot? Cool-looking clothes in plus sizes are hard to come by. It's not impossible to source some plus-size clothing. I see people on Poshmark do it. If you are a size 10 and below and need an outfit immediately. Youll find masculine and feminine; I saw both in the store, and peeps looked to be younger. Could have been ages 17 to 71 for all I know, just saying peeps looked young, fun, and spry. Now for pricing. I didn't study the prices too closely. I saw 16$ and 24$ a lot. I'd pay these prices for my size. It's going to be hit or miss, I bet. I didn't note their price of purses. I'm not a purse wearer, so I didn't look at any. I saw a size 12 tennis shoes on the outside rack at 50% off for 24$. 48$ for used shoes seems steep. I did see some lapel pins priced 8$ and I chuckled bc it seemed overpriced. But all the pieces were a certain style and you're paying for that style. If you found the same pin at goodwill it would be half that price or less. I'd pay that price to quickly find the "style". I read through their reviews, and here's a trend on feedback they seem to not be taking seriously. Repeatedly, people report feeling completely disrespected or made to wait a long time, only to be turned away. If you have dedicated shoppers who suddenly renounce their affiliation with you after trying to make an exchange, you're clearly handling that transaction without proper tact! Train up on how to build in proper etiquette for how to let down a person or tell someone no respectfully and remain in their favor. Respect goes both ways, and they have an opportunity to set the tone. If you're yelling or screaming with these people, you have lost your marbles, and you and they are in the wrong. I don't recall seeing a single Yelp person say they got a great deal on their exchange *dead*. Well, there are some lukewarm reviews on here regarding selling their clothes to Urban Exchange, but they date back to 2015. On February 22, 2024 the owner stated "We pay 30-50% in cash of our selling price" that sounds inflated and they do NOT have the reviews to back this up. This information is not posted anywhere on their website or social media that I can find. Someone said "Look I sold probably $2,000 of clothes for $115". Let's just assume that person is exaggerating and it's only $1000 retail. (I think that's the argument UE would make that the clothes were not infact worth that much bc the owner has made several comments stating how she's sorry how, high cost items can be frustrating to sell at a fraction of their retail cost) That's closer to 10% and that's the figure I think they give. The figures people report just don't add up to the fraction the owner states. And she's been stating this 30-50% figure in comments for years. I'd even double it and say maybe sometimes people get 20%. And there are reviews to support that claim as one person stated they were offered 54$ cash for 300$ of clothing. The second thing I noticed in reviews over the last year are people stating the stock is stale. But I'm not sure if that's the case at this very moment. Bc they had several sales in March. Spring cleaning? Including a 1$ sale in March & February. In February they had a 25% off day of the entire store. If you think their prices suck but like their inventory, follow their instagram and be on the lookout for their sales. I expanded some of my points in the captions of my photos. read more

Honestly this place is amazing, I visited Temecula 3 years ago for a hot air balloon and ate at Annie's which happens to be across the way. This was the best coincidence because I purchased a Louis Vuitton bag for $450 which I still use to this day. I now circled back to Temecula for a wine tour and I'm extremely happy I remembered to visit this spot because I found some more reasonably priced gems some of which included doc martins for 85$! read more

First time visiting this store to sell a great amount of items. A lot of my items were either like new or new with tags. I did some research on this shop before I came in & I checked on their website to see what they were currently buying. I had also went into the store to check it out & spoke to a male associate about how selling to their shop worked, he was really friendly and explained everything and answered any questions I had. Long story short they did not accept not even one item from all the three large bags I brought to them. And it didn't make sense to me because a lot of the brands I had were on their sales floor for sale, just in worst condition for the items that were on their floor that they were selling. I understand they sell vintage items, but heavily worn does not mean the item is vintage. I personally didn't have good luck at this shop and maybe the next person might. A lot of the items were pricey too, but somewhat decent on other items I saw. Sizing was all over the place too, if I was looking to actually shop for my size, it would be very difficult. read more

I come in here a lot and noticed they don't really much care what the item looks they just buy if it's a high brand. And a good example was from today.. these lululemon are at the end of there life. Once they get like in the photo they are done for. Yeah you can wear them but have that fabric destroyed from miss care from the owner. I've owned a lot of Lulu and this is unacceptable. They were selling I think 4 of the same pair , same style and size. While these where the worse, they were all priced at the same 24$ please stop buying just for the brand and actually buy for the condition the item is in. If they weren't like this I would of bought all of them. And I come in almost every week just to see what they have new. There was even more issues I should of took a photo for . I get it's used but cmon the condition is where people are going to choice to buy or not read more

This was such a fun experience! I took my four granddaughters here and they had a blast picking out clothes. They all found something that they love! This store was so well organized and the merchandise was so well displayed, it made it feel like a special experience- it really made us feel like we were hunting for gems! I was very impressed! read more

Urban Exchange - So we'll organized and displayed! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Temecula, California

This place is awesome! It doesn't smell which is strange for a used clothing store. The staff are super welcoming and friendly unlike in San Diego where many vintage shops- they're like "too cool for school rockabillies" with an attitude. There's a ton of cute stuff from all eras. It's very well organized and overall a really pleasant shopping experience. Super happy I found this place and can't wait to come back! read more

I love this store. The Mom and Daughter team who own it are the sh#t. Great selection of clothes, jewelry, sunglasses and shoes. I love it as there is also a huge selection of men's stuff. Most often I am shopping here w my daughter. She has a quirky awesome style. Always something cool for her here. Today was platform Puma sneaks and Calvin Klein overalls. I have seen some who are unhappy w the selling process. Urban Exchange does their homework. They know fair market value. They buy based on need, seasonality, quality, condition and an IT factor. If they don't love your stuff, don't take it personal! read more

I loved this place Vintage stores are my thing and I wasn't disappointed. A few things were overpriced for being used but you could definitely find many gems There is so much to look at. Clothing, shoes, great handbags and wonderful jewelry. I purchased the cutest retro crossbody that looked like it came out of the 60's and a pair of bell bottoms that I can dress up or down. Also, at checkout they have hundreds of earrings to look at. Chose a pair of fun looking jetson earrings The girl at the counter was super nice. Asked where we were from and I told her the store reminded me of Buffalo Exchange in San Diego. She agreed. My shopping experience definitely rated an A+ If I lived in Temecula I would be here at least a couple times of month read more

My experience here was about as far from the yelp reviews as possible. I was greeted warmly when I arrived. My items were looked through efficiently and they took about a 3rd of what I brought in. I asked for feedback on the items they didn't take and it all made sense. Found 2 great items in store and still ended up walking out with money in my pocket after purchasing them. My advice if you're going to sell - it's not personal. Remember you didn't want your items any more and they are running a business based on what they need for the store, what's in style, and what things can be sold for. Overall good experience and I'll be back. P.S. They are also awesome about answering the phone and explaining the process for those of us that are new. read more

LOVED this gem of a store. Everywhere you look you found amazing items. If you're ever around Temecula. You must stop here. We bought so many unique items and great prices. 10/10 read more

Urban Exchange - Metallic pieces - Thrift Stores Near Me - Temecula, California

buy/sell/trade fashion store with great customer service. My first time trading was a good experience. To be able to trade a few clothes sitting collecting dust in the garage for a high end pair of shoes was worth it! For trade, I paid only $6 more for shoes that are retailed new for $300. Great trade! Thank you! read more

Such a great resale store. They just expanded the store and now have even more great vintage pieces. They have many name brands as well. I'm always able to find something good here. Only drawback is some pieces can be a little pricey depending on the brand but overall great place! read more

Urban Exchange - Thrift Stores Near Me - Temecula, California

This is by far one of the worst places to find anything for a decent price. This use to be a cool spot to go and find some diamonds. Now a days you go in every other week and it's the same boring stuff on the racks and way overpriced items you can find on eBay for half the price. The lack of knowledge in the men's department has clearly shown over the last year cuz they have stuff sitting and tagged as vintage when it's not. Be aware of all Nike shoes from price to authenticity. There's been a lot of fake shoes in there and have heard the buyers multiple times say they didn't know how to authenticate high end items. Also when you sale there. They'll only take your cream of the crop items for under the percentage they told you. Then go back and see what they priced it at. read more

Easy to trade in your clothes and shoes. Have a decent selection but not my size in New Balances, I wear size 11, but they had 9, 9.5, and 13's. I want to add that I never see preowned New Balances in stores so that in itself is great. read more

This is my second time coming to this location to sell clothes and shoes and being turned around. I called ahead of time to confirm if they were still accepting clothes to purchase. The store employee confirmed yes. When I got to the store, I could tell there was some renovations happening and I asked again if they were purchasing she said yes I was told to come back in 30 minutes and they would let me know what they would accept and not. When I came back, I was told they weren't going to accept any of the items I bought to them. I bought gently used designer items that looked practically new. After being told they weren't going to accept anything. I followed up with a question asking was it because of the renovations and they were processing a lot of boxes and displays when I got there. Instead of just saying they were busy with renovations they let me wait as if they were actually going to process any of the clothes and they didn't even look at any of them. The owner needs to be more forthcoming and write a list of things she accepts and doesn't for each season to be helpful. Just a complete waste of time. I will not be returning. read more

Overpriced!! Don't bother trying to sell anything to them. they only look for unique things and they don't care about new unused things, they only want things they "need" and it's all based on the cashier's opinion. Everything is $30+ read more

Absolutely easy and awesome experience selling some clothes. Look I sold probably $2,000 of clothes for $115, but I'm the one that bought them and couldn't sell them to save my life on Poshmark. So I'm totally happy with it. Moving soon and just really wanted to try to sell to downsize. I tired Plato's closet first and it was a laughably bad experience with rude clueless employees. I came to Urban Exchange, staffed by actual adults, and was treated with respect and an interest in actual designer items (even if not for the $$ I would have loved). I will absolutely be back as I continue to purge. read more
