Goodwill Industries of Central Virginia Reviews

I drove 30 minutes to this location and they were closed, since march. That s some BS.

Not a normal Goodwill! All items are I sorted in bins and you buy textiles and housewares by the pound. You have to put in the effort to sift through the junk. You never know what will pop up!

The regulars are absolutely terrible at this location. They shove, push, steal. I ve been to so many outlets and the shoppers at this store are gross. They yell at employees. They shove employees. We ve gone up here twice and both times we were treated terribly by the same people. It s incredibly cut throat. I m a reseller myself, but no other outlet allows this behavior to continue. I ve seen people banned from stores for less than what these people do on the daily.

I love this outlet. We are a very frugal family and get so much stuff here. It's like going on an adventure. The kids have a blast. I also want to commend them on their handling of the pandemic. They have really gone above and beyond to ensure everyone is as safe as possible.

Went to this location for the first time last weekend. Great shopping experience. Not my first time at a goodwill location, so I would say go early. I went at 9am. I was finished by noon and that s when the majority of people started to arrive. I didn t have the experiences that other people are talking about with people pushing you. Don t even see someone putting their hands on me..... lol anywho, I found a lot of great items here. I found a Michael Jackson off the wall vinyl and it was less than a dollar. Original case with lyrics and everything. Spent $20 and walked out with a garbage bag full of clothes. Outlets really work in your favor and my budget s favor. You just have to be willing to put the time up to find the deals. These make it worth it. I spent three hours digging through bins and found enough clothes for my winter wardrobe to be replenished. Only catch is it s a little dirty digging through bins. I would bring gloves. Hands felt extremely dirty at the end.

These types of outlets are always a lot of fun. Sadly, even though they are limiting the number of people inside, at least half of the patrons have their masks pulled down or not on. The goodwill door monitor wasn t even wearing her mask over her nose.

They aren t social distancing. Customers were standing shoulder to shoulder waiting for the employees to change out the merchandise. I saw people having conversations with the mask under their chin instead of covering their nose and mouth.

Ah "the bins" as they are called in most re-seller groups. My first visit to this location. They don't like you taking photos or video so be discreet. Was told photos not allowed by staff. Separate electronics area that's priced more like a regular Goodwill. What's the point of that? Prices are way too high in this area. Everything is priced mid-eBay selling prices. No flipping items from here.
The regular bins however not bad. I found plenty of junk for $14 I can use or sell. I am primarily a re-seller but I also buy and have found plenty of items for my personal use as well. I love the treasure hunt and if you do you probably already know all about it.
This location however is kinda hidden in the back of what I always thought was just the Goodwill office building. For years I never knew this was even back here. You have to go around the building to the back!
