I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience with this business. Their website clearly…read morestates that furniture and large items should be emailed ahead of time for approval, so I followed those instructions exactly. I emailed Jes with multiple pictures of a storage cabinet and end table - both in very nice condition - and asked, "do you take pieces like this?" Her response was a simple "yes." Based on that confirmation, my husband and I went through the trouble of getting a trailer, loading the items, and even taking time off work to deliver them. However, when we arrived, Jes refused to accept the pieces. When my husband showed her the email where she had said "yes," she claimed that she didn't mean "yes" she would take those exact items. When pressed, she admitted she "probably should have been more clear." This was extremely unprofessional and a complete waste of our time, effort, and money. To make matters worse, she also complained that our trailer was blocking her alleyway, despite the fact that we were there because of her prior approval, and had pulled the trailer over far enough that cars could get by. Clear communication, respect and accountability are basic expectations in any business, and this experience fell far short. I will never be returning and would caution others to think twice before relying on their process.

The Salvation Army is great, because it's by far the cheapest thrift store in town! Their prices…read moreare below dirt cheap! Back at their old location, they used to have a ton of stuff, however it appears that their new location doesn't have as much. They sell clothing, furniture, restuffed mattresses and a bunch of household items. However, they have next to no electronics (old stereos, TVs, etc...), but their used media section is pretty good. Vinyl is $.20 each and tapes and CDs aren't much more! The downside is that the selection isn't the best. Mayo literally drops off truckloads of office stuff off here on a regular basis. File cabinets go for $10/drawer, and office chairs go for $7. We got a giant a file cabinet that would go for $600 new for $50. Plus, it was stuffed with hanging folders (probably worth and extra $50). You have to stop there frequently, though because selection changes dramatically from day to day. Overall, Salvation Army is a good place.

I was there on senior day, March 23, 2022 with my 86 year old sister, a Mayo Clinic patient. Practically impossible to think she's not a senior citizen. She checked out before me. It didn't seem to me that she'd gotten the senior discount, so I asked the "lady" at the register if we needed to ask for the senior discount and she could not have been more snippy when she said, "Yep, you do". Almost gleeful that she'd overcharged my sister and knew it. Really???? When you get all the stuff in the store for free you have to be like that? So, BEWARE SHOPPERS, IF you're a senior, AND you happen to be there on senior day.. Ask, or you will not receive any discount. You might, however be treated quite rudely..

They ended up offering me almost $170 for the items they could accept, and I was ecstatic. It seems like they must get new items pretty often because the inventory always seems refreshed when I go in. I love this store.

Each time I have left annoyed by the attitude, always finishing conversations and gossip with coworkers before acknowledging a customer. No greeting when walking in, and they make you feel like you're bothering them by coming in. Not to mention the lack of clothing that they'll take. I have been using Plato's all over Iowa i for a very long time so I know the "rules" on what they will or won't take and pack my drop off accordingly. The Rochester location recently offered me $16 for 3 agree People items. One sweatshirt worn once, a brand new never worn pair of leggings, and a fleece 1/4 zip. I ended up taking all my items back and declining that payout as it was a total joke. I took these same drop off bags to another location where they took nearly everything for $200+. I won't be going back... ever. I'd rather store the clothing while I wait for Poshmark orders to come in, which says a lot as I can't stand keeping it piled up in the house.
