West Volusia Habitat For Humanity in DeLand — Local services in DeLand

Skip this place! I have driven by for several years while traveling through this area, so I finally decided to stop in. I had envisioned a more than pleasant time (Please see the review of another RESTORE that makes this place look like a dump!) considering there are several others I've visited and had wonderful experiences. First and foremost: There are items that have been sitting almost a year without any price reduction (I know how to read the date codes from visiting other RESTORE locations). When I entered, no one greeted or even acknowledged I was in the store. After they saw the camera come out, I started getting the nasty looks, which I could care less about. I was here to find a good deal , if there was one to be found. Unfortunately there are not ANY good deals (Unless your local!There were some locals talking to the lady that was working about discounting items and the worker darn sure discounted them!). I noticed items with outrageous prices. Some items were new but priced just a few bucks below retail value that also had dust as if the items were sitting for long periods of time. PAINTERS BEWARE!!! Every paint bucket that I saw had rust on the rim , so as soon as the lid is popped, you will have a bunch of rust in your paint can (Best of luck with that one!). I did ask the lady working at the counter if there was a discount on an item that was marked extremely high and had been there for almost 8 months. She said there were no discounts. I kindly walked out of the store without purchasing a single item. NEVER AGAIN! Now I know why I never stopped at this dump of a location. Unless you have an endless pocket / pocket book / purse, I would highly recommend skipping this place (Or if you have someone that lives locally in the area, you might be able to get...

It's really sad when you want to do the right thing and donate to what is a good cause, but you get the feeling that hey could care less if they get items or not. I called and explained that I had a large dinning table, with china hutch, and misc house and construction items to donate. The lady I spoke with asked if this could be handle by one person and I said, no that they would need to send 2. Only 1 person showed up and he was only told about the table and china hutch. Said that the top piece had to be off of the base since he was by himself. I explained that I told the lady they would need to send 2 people. Even offered to help take the item off and then he advised that he didn't even have room in his truck for either piece. Said he would come back on Sat. Morning to pick it up. I advised that would be fine, since I had to have it out by Tuesday. Finally received a call at 11:50 on Saturday that he would not be able to pick up since he did not have anyone to help him. Said he could try for Monday or Tuesday, but if he did not have a helper, could not guarantee. SUGGESTION FOR HABITAT- DO NOT SAY YOU CAN OR WILL DO SOMETHING WHEN YOU CAN'T. (Your not even...

Unfair pricing. I askedfor an adjusted price on some doors I needed and NO was the answer I have been trying to refresh a camper I live in . Some months earlier I noted one girl there that is getting a house built by Habitat was bragging that she out smarted an officer because she was drunk and under age she was pregnant and the old man Ray that worked there did not even seem suprised and chuckled along Also the item that I could not get reduced because "They cannot" was purchased buy a man I met where I work . He was saying that the old man gave him a discount. I am living in a camper because I lost a mobile home , my home, when my job was done away with. I have never recovered since. I am a good citizen and Habitat would not help me but WILL give assistance to...
