Habitat For Humanity Restore — Local services in Homosassa Springs

My husband loaded a large picture with glass front and solid back into my car to take to donate. On my way it started raining. I pulled as close to garage door as possible. I saw no employee in site so I honked. An employee came to door and waved. I motioned for him to come to my car door. He wouldn't. I lowered my window while rain poured in. He asked why I donated during the rain .I said it wasn't raining earlier. Would he please get the large picture out of my back seat. He said it will be ruined in the rain. I said no it won't it has bamboo frame and is glassed and hard product on back. All the while rain coming in my car. He was wearing a African helmet type hat so it's not like the rain is beating him on his head or that he is going to melt. I'm handicap and I got the impression he wanted me to get out and unload it. Never again!! Next time when I'm in Ocala I will donate to Goodwill. They offer drive up service with a pleasant attitude and smile. Always...

I want ReStore to be successful; it’s for a great cause… but, it should be more affordable. I saw 3 beautiful wood and leather barstools - $500 EACH! Only someone with financial substance could afford $1500 for 3 barstools! That bothers me in principal… ReStore should serve its community, especially the non-wealthy…those who can’t afford to drop $1500 for 3 barstools! If you wonder why your turnover is slow… your prices are grossly high. Not a fan of...

I went to buy a fridge and the lady told me atleast 20 times that when my boyfriend goes to pick it up that the guys there will absolutely load it for them. Then when they got there the guys wouldn’t load the fridge till I called and even when I called and she told me they would my boyfriend had to go talk to her directly and she complained that him and his brother couldn’t load it by themselves. Then once the men finally put it in after arguing for 15 minutes she said that the 30 day warranty she had given me gets voided once it is put on its back which she didn’t tell me at any point...
