Let me start by saying their pricing is insane. They get their items for free and then upcharge tremendously. People come to the thrift store to purchase items that the malls and other companies are charging a high price for. It is selfish that this company takes advantage of people trying to run away from the high cost of society. Also, having no change rooms is ridiculous! I went to purchase a pair of pants, and they only have self-checkout open which is yet again ridiculous as they have an employee standing right behind you to make sure people aren't switching the tags. I don't understand the point of that and having no trust in your customers. How about we hire real people in need of work and put them at a cash register so they can ensure no switched tags. Absolutely ridiculous of how this company has turned into a money hungry business with no respect to their customers read more

As far a Value Village goes this one is huge and has a lot of stuff. All Value Villages are kind of messy and this one is no exception. The drop off is always busy. Half of the stuff is used crap in poor condition, but one could put together a decent cheap outfit if they really search. Also good place to buy toys for kids at cheap prices. Lots of toys. Kids love it.I think October is the best time of year to go here. This place is great for halloween costumes! read more

quite big and lots to look at but very slim findings this year. 10min walk from skytrain and the mall. well stocked and friendly staff but prices have gone up so much from last summer to the point you gotta think very well if something's worth even getting (used tna pants $35?!) can be crowded specially on tue and fri/weekends so best to come early on weekdays, resellers start digging at opening. read more

I don't understand the lowly three-star average reviews here. My sis has become a thrift store buff, asked me to take her there and I saw a very spacious, clean, organized and efficient store. Our visit was less than two weeks before Halloween and they displayed many brand new costumes and accessories at reasonable prices. I tried on this one amazing witch's hat with flower detailing and an attached veil. I actually felt sexy. It was only $7.99 and I snapped it up on the spot. The staff are ever so busy, very attentive. A classic rock song started playing through the store; I loved that song for the longest time but never knew the title. I asked my sis if she knew but a female staff member who overheard my question answered 'Baker Street' (by Glen Rafferty). How can I not love this store? I had a great first-visit experience! read more

Value Village - Thrift Stores Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

If you want to be thrift proud, don't even come close to a Value Village. They are highway robbers. They price the materials THEY RECEIVE FOR FREE at amounts that are almost equal to and sometimes greater than the original asking price. read more

This is a nice big location, the hugest one I've been to I think. It's clean and well organized, but I deducted a star for also being one of the most expensive locations. I thrift a lot, and the pricing for linens here had me laughing, I could go get new ones at Ikea for the pricing of used ones here! Decent quality here, and nice staff. Overall I won't be making the trek out to this location again though. read more

Great location, newish building, roomy and tidy store with clean washrooms and friendly staff. You're almost guaranteed to find something you want. Would be a near-perfect thrifting experience, but the prices are high end for used goods (books, especially, are bizarrely high-priced). Use of the fitting rooms is also at a premium, and they'd do well to sacrifice a little floor space in the shoe section to make another row of rooms. I try to only shop on 50% off days and wear leggings and a thin shirt to try on clothes over them while standing in the aisles. ;) read more

BEWARE !!!! They will sell you name brand sunglasses for big money which turn out to be fake. It happened to me today. Going back to talk to them about it tomorrow. I will post the update about what happens. Feeling so ripped off right now. So I went there and relieved they actually gave me back my money. I almost didn't think that it was going to happen after one employee says "you know, just because its in the showcase. it doesn't mean the sunglasses are real name brands". For the price they charge ! Just wow! read more

I found a two piece swimsuit for my daughter, and went to buy it. Both the top and bottom were together on the hanger. Same brand, same size, same pattern etc. When I got to the till, the lady found that the top, and bottom were priced separately. I said there must be a mistake, clearly the pink patterned five year old swimsuit should be sold as one item. The lady at the register said that they must have come in at different times, or been priced from different bags. I then asked for the superviser. It turns out she WAS the superviser, and was insisting they are sold separately. It was ridiculous! The were clearly the same swimsuit. For a child. They seriously need to hire people with more common sense to be in charge. Horrible experience. read more

New Points System at Value Village Please watch your points everyone. With the new system you earn 1 point for every dollar you spend, and when you reach 100 points you get 30% off. I went in with 80 points saved up and a 30% off value pass. I used the value pass to get 30% off my purchase but when I got home found that it had also used up my points too!!! When I brought the receipt back in, all they would give me was a new value pass card that expires next week (the points expire after 2 months - also not a good deal but better than one week!) Check your points. read more

This Value can be a hit or miss. Usually a bit of a mess but worth running over clothes on the floor. Also the most busiest location on 50% off days. + Kids section is decent, bought a Comme des Garcons cardigan here. Got lucky on a pair of dansko shoes Good coat section Close to other amenities read more

Writing here to bring attention to the management about the incredibly annoying, loud, invasive high-pitched whine in this store, audible over the music. I come here once a week or so to look for DVDs and a few things for the house, and I first noticed it sometime in the past month or so when in looking for plant pots for spring. I thought it would have been taken care of by now- but sadly it had not been addressed when I was in tonight. Not sure how any business can allow this offensive, obnoxious, inconsiderate type of thing in their establishment- what are the management thinking? JUST FIX IT ALREADY!! As one who suffers from both tinnitus and hyperacusis, I won't be returning until it has been resolved- when I got home after being in there for a 1/2 hour, my tinnitus had been activated because of the constant exposure to the high-pitched frequency and now I'm sitting here with my ears ringing. The only reason I stayed that long was that I had a return exchange I needed to make, so I had to find something to replace it. As a former General Manager of several busy, customer-focussed service businesses, I would never allow this to continue in my business. Get on it, Value Village. read more

I always found Value Villages to be well run, good value etc but lately the quality is down & the prices are up. They never used to hang items up that were so ridiculously wrinkled up that you couldn't tell how well they fit. They should at least try to steam them, it would also be a bedbug deterrent, (not that I have ever found any) but they told me they just take clothes outta the bags & hang them up. Tops that used to go for 3$ are now 7$ and jeans that used to be 7$ are now 13$ though everything is more wrinkled. The Items that I bought weren't bad, I just think they could do better. read more

Alright store. Things are pretty cheap some are average but all reasonable. You can bring almost anything to donate to value village and they'll sort them out except furnitures read more

the worse manager I have ever seen I asked about her name .her name is Kelly.she is always mad and yelling at employees in middle of store I feel like I am visiting a military office the employees are all hard worker and very helpful I use to go there and spent at least $200 a month because of the environment which the manager made in the store i am not going there anymore read more

Great variety of clothes and bits and pieces.... however the prices are ridiculous!. On a number of occasions I have looked online at what something costs new and Value Village is more expensive. They get the things for free and they put unrealistic prices onto the USED items. I am now going to donate to another charity store.... I am not going to contribute to your greed! read more

This is the first Value Village we have been to and was pleasantly surprised. Huge, very clean store. Excellent prices. Great for kids clothing since they will out grow it in a few months. Good selection of big and XXL sizes for men. I realize that they sell items that are donated to them and you might think the prices would be cheaper; however, if it takes these prices to keep the store this clean and organized, I have no problem w/ it. We'll be back. read more

I used to love shopping here but I find the clothes are marked higher at this location at times. Also, it is getting more difficult to find a great item since it is so busy. read more

I enjoy poking through antique and second-hand stores and this one has lots to look at. I go in about once a month and almost always find something neat to buy. Like any thrift store (and any Winners store, for that matter), you have to look through some crap to find the gems, but they're there. Happy hunting! read more
