Goodwill — Attraction in Pineville

Currently the best goodwill location in town mainly due to staying open until 6pm when the other location closes very inconveniently at 4pm. Dressing rooms are available and employees are usually helpful and show good customer service skills. The manager could be a bit more friendly and approachable though. Everything is usually in good order and easy to find with no clothing items damaged in a way that would make them unwearable. Prices could be better but that is an issue with Goodwill itself and not this location specifically. I do still appreciate that this location honors the punch card (10 punches awards 25% off entire purchase) and utilizes the color of the week discount system. (Items marked with the color of the week are 50% off) I visit Goodwill locations in every town i visit and so far only Cenla locations have these two discounts/savings, however, the locations that do not, seem to have lower prices overall in some departments.

A review of Goodwill in general: The pricing of items leaves much to be desired when it is not at all what I imagine and would rather see when donating MY used items. I choose to donate at times, instead of reselling them myself, with the hopes of helping out someone in need. I don't donate to Goodwill any longer because it seems more like I am just giving away money to a corporation and helping them to profit off of people in need. Many times when shopping there due to having a financial hardship, I find I am being charged same-as-new prices or higher than new prices believe it or not.

Goodwill does, however, offer the option to exchange within 10 days which seems fair for the most part. 99% of the time I don't ever have to utilize this option, as I can try on before purchase, but it definitely gives me comfort knowing its an option. Instead of this lowering my purchasing amount, it increases it, as I feel confident in buying, bc I know it won't go to waste compared to purchasing at other second hand stores that don't allow try ons, returns,...

I love visiting & shopping Goodwill stores. Always a bargain can be found. I love finding name brand clothing in New or almost new condition. It's a great place to find & buy nice furniture, figurines, small appliances, vintage glassware is my favorite finds! You can actually find new items with price tags on them. Goodwill stores are online as well, I buy lots of Bibles there, especially children's bibles; they're real cheap & affordable so I'm able to buy alot, I love knowing children have a bible to learn the basic life instructions from, to grow in God. The people are always so friendly & helpful at GW stores. Go visit your local GW store it is a charitable organization & you're helping others, ministries, local organizations, etc, they offer jobs to the less fortunate as well. Support your local GW store today! Donations are greatly appreciated that's how they thrive. Good luck...

The prices are too high for the quality of the product. The products are donated to them and then they hike up the prices. Some of the goods are in bad shape. Update… August 30,2024 went back and found a toy for a baby. I was at the register paying and noticed a a piece of plastic was broken on the underside of the toy exposing a very sharp point on the toy. I told her I changed my mind because I didn’t notice the broken piece. I told her before she handed me my change. She counted my change and closed drawer and said all sales are final. I said okay but this is an honest mistake and I haven’t even left the cash register desk. she said it doesn’t matter absolutely no refund, absolutely can’t get money back. Wow … obviously I couldn’t give my grandchild the toy but couldn’t get the money back either. I would recommend you spending your...
