Plato's Closet Richmond Hill — Local services in Richmond Hill

This location is big so there’s lots to look through - but this can be a good thing or bad thing depending on what size you’re looking for. I personally do find good pieces from time to time at this location, but I wish they had more stock in clothing for women that are sizes Large and up.

In terms of selling to Plato’s, I think that they should make a better effort to buy more clothing items that are size L and up for women so that they can improve their stock in these sizes.

I came in today to sell a bag full of clothing items that were sizes L-XL and they only ended up buying a few clothing pieces from me. I had a few items I felt like they could have purchased from me because they were in genuinely good condition (especially compared to the clothes in their stock), new with tags, not old styles, or of the brands they carry (e.g. Zara). They did take almost all of the shoes I brought in today which was nice and for sure, I’m grateful.

I understand that some of the pieces I brought in to sell today were older/not popular styles (I definitely expected this going in and I’m totally fine with most of the pieces they chose not to take from me - I just thought I would try selling them anyway).

And I understand that PC purchases items from sellers based on what is trending at the moment (which doesn’t seem like a good long-term business plan), and that their usual customers may be of sizes smaller than Large.

But it is really discouraging as a customer who is not a size XS-M, to see a lack of stock in my size or larger and then witnessing PC not buy good clothing pieces in larger sizes from sellers.

When I look at their stock in store for clothes in XS-M sizes, there is so much more stock to choose from and yet not all of them are great tbh - I see brands like Shein or clothes that trendy from 5+ years ago.

So it’s disappointing to see that PC will buy those kinds of clothes from sellers just because they’re in smaller sizes and then not buy perfectly good pieces in larger sizes from sellers (even just to increase their stock in these sizes and give people of bigger sizes something to choose from).

It is also very discouraging to sellers; I know that for me, I don’t feel welcome or inclined to sell my clothes of larger sizes to PC when they don’t end up buying perfectly good pieces. I’m sure this is the case for other sellers trying to sell their L or Plus size clothing to PC as well.

I continue to shop as a customer at this location because once in a while, I will find clothes that fit me and are my style. But this isn’t the case for all women who bigger than a size M.

I think that PC can definitely improve their stock for Large and Plus women sizes by making a better effort to purchase larger sized clothes that meet their standards from sellers. They can easily turn down some of the poor quality clothing in smaller sizes from sellers and make the effort to purchase larger sizes from sellers if they have a daily/weekly purchasing limit or something.

I really hope PC improves in the ways I mentioned above because purchasing clothes secondhand is of course sustainable, good for the environment, and is more affordable at times. They just really need to work on...

lol waste of time if you’re trying to sell here. they don’t even look through your stuff i brought in 2 huge boxes filled with only brand clothes then got a notification maybe 15 minutes later that it was ready, i go and pick up my boxes (surprise surprise they didn’t pick anything!) and i look through and everything was in the exact same position as i left it in. let me just say also, there was no one even in the store so they can’t blame not looking through things on it being busy. i work in customer service and let me just say the white girl with the frizzy hair is literally the rudest employee ive ever encountered. the management here sucks clearly as they get plenty of 1 star reviews and obviously never do anything about it. i literally beg you guys to take your clothes to the vaughan location, they have great staff and will actually take your clothes. they claim things are out of style, then sell absolute trash on the floor. “not in style” im literally still a teenager, how the hell are my clothes out of style when you guys sell the same things people wore in the second world war? absolute joke, can’t even be mad at the staff when it’s obvious they have terrible management and the owner is probably just as bad. side note - this place also has the worst reputation with girls my age due to the reasons i stated above, so don’t be surprised when your sales are plummeting lol no one wants...
