Newark Neighbours Thrift Shop — Local services in Niagara-on-the-Lake

The worst thrift shop I’ve ever been to. Most items weren’t priced so I found other products in the same section as a reference that did have tags on them instead of trying to find someone to ask every time. The lady at the counter offered the price of the products marked $8-$12, but the other lady working wasn’t happy with that and marked each item to $20 (which I think is absurd for a thrift shop). To mark it up after one employee had already said a price isn’t fair, the price shouldn’t keep being increased up til the moment of paying. When I finally went to go pay for my items she then raised the price again, another $5. I put everything back and left. I’m never going back there and I advise that no one else does either. Terrible experience, don’t donate to them go somewhere else. They don’t even deserve a star but I can’t make a review...

Everybody on here writing bad reviews should be ashamed of themselves. Everyone that “works” there is doing it voluntarily- maybe you should try. Yes, you might have to wait a bit but remember they are trying their best. Some of them its their first day.

I find it disappointing that people could comment poorly on such a thing. Do you donate your time or things that somebody else needs? Disgraceful, disgusting the comments I have read.

Take the time when you are going “shopping” and NOT at a mall Thrift shopping you browse. Take the time it took you to write that review and do something positive for the community.

Every single time I walk in there I feel absolute love and happiness. Everyone is wonderful. The prices are so fair and its going to a good cause.

Be kind people....

I don't get why "regular" household and decor items are not priced (Do we really have to ask the staff?), and the supposed high end vintage/antiques are priced like in an antique/vintage store. Case in point: Complete 1950s/60s ashtray stand with slag or onyx trim and glass ashtray selling for $100. Once or twice a year they would drop prices -- oh wow, what a deal. In the meantime, visit yard/garage/church sales and you'd still find pre-owned "brand name" mugs for 50c to $2 -- which is what Newark used to charge back in their old location. I guess when you have an antiques "expert" running the store, there's nowhere...
