I don't really like second hand stores much, but my husband managed to find some records at a fair price. The interior was very tidy and organized and the service was quick and efficient. read more

This place is a mess. Overpriced garbage! Nothing good. It's all sent to e-commerce and doesn't make it to floor. Even their clothes belong in the dumpster. Don't shop or donate there! So many other thrift stores that actually help people And their prices are not inflated. read more

OK, this store has one crappy mirror over by the womens clothing. So if you are a man and want to see how a dress coat looks on you, walk over to the crappy mirror in the womens side to look at your feet. Because that's what you will see. The entire store is donated and they can't put mirrors up in several areas for people to see if it might fit or look good on them?? I like Goodwill, always have, but yesterday I just got plain ticked off trying to find a decent mirror for my hubby to see how he looked in a jacket. Come on, GOODWILL, but some darn mirrors!! read more

This store never really has a good selection of furniture but the clothing selection is usually very vast. They do a pretty good job of keeping the clothing in size order as well as color coded. read more

$5 for a crappy bath towel someone probably dried their butt with for six years. no thanks

This Goodwill isn't anything special or out of the ordinary; it's actually smaller than most other Goodwills I've been to. However, you don't go to Goodwill for the ambiance, you go for the deals! With low expectations walking in, I left with a Columbia winter jacket that was just my size, was a color I liked, and seemed to only have been used a few times (and gently, at that). This beauty cost me a grand total of $4.33! Now that's why you go to Goodwill! Also, just a comment on the service, I think it's probably a hit or miss here. When I was ready to check out, I went up to the counter; no one was there. The closest two employees were chatting, even though they saw me waiting. Granted, maybe they weren't the ones assigned to cashier duty at the time or something, but they could have offered to get the cashier for me. Another employee walked up after about a minute or two and she was friendly, the one who rang up my awesome jacket. I wouldn't expect great service overall because a) it's Goodwill and b) only some of the employees are helpful. read more

MERS Goodwill - Not a very large Goodwill - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Fairview Heights, Illinois

After moving in with my hubby, we realized we had so much extra crap. TVs, camcorders, clothes, fixtures, etc. Honestly, a garage sale is out. We live in an area where an eyesore like that would be not appreciated. So why not donate it? The process is so simple. Drive up to the back doors behind the building. There is usually 2 guys back there. They help you unload and your done. You can't get any simpler than this! And it might help someone less fortunate get some cool digs for their place. read more

I don't know where all of the donations at this store are going, but they are certainly not making it to the floor. This place is BARREN.

It may have just been bad timing (well, it obviously was), but I came in looking for more kitchen accessories. There were FOUR (seriously, FOUR) crying children in there for the 25 minutes or so that I was there. I could have handled one. But four. Plus Uncle Kracker was playing on the radio so that also wasn't great. But for the real review. They actually had a decent amount of housewares, and I found some cool old plates, a Bundt pan, and some wooden spoons. It was on my way out the East STL area, so I'm glad I stopped in. The store was clean and the aisles were nice and wide to move through (a problem I've seen for parents with strollers/carts/etc). read more

Great place to find mens new dress shirts for $3.00 & shoes for the whole family. Many people don't know it but The Goodwill had brandnew things donated & they sale it cheap! read more

Kids racks are usually empty. Not much boys clothes. And they mix girls with boys. Haven't scored a good deal here. Most toys are missing parts and/or broken. Household items that go together are marked separately. They get dollar tree items and mark them $2 lol There were cockroaches in the women's clothing, gross. Truly, not a very good goodwill. Sucks compared to other thrift stores. read more

When in the middle of nowhere with just a few hours before a flight home, I bought too much stuff for my New Years trip to St. Louis and figured I'd check to see if I could get a used suitcase for a good price. I found a Samsonite suitcase for $6. SIX DOLLARS. I know if I went to Ross or TJ Maxx it would have been $130 easy. So thanks again Goodwill. You always seem to do me right in the heat of the moment which is why I always donate to you guys before anyone else with my old unused clothing items. Happy New Year. read more

This is probably the nicest Goodwill I've ever been in. I don't come here often to shop, but I always try to give them my donations (unless they're military items, of course). During my most recent trip, I gave them my box springs and king mattress along with about half my wardrobe. I've been trying to save on space and when you haven't worn something in 3 years, it's time to say goodbye. Unfortunately, my mattress was not to their standards, but they took it off my hands anyway. The kind gesture confirmed my opinion. This place is awesome. read more

I live in Saint Louis, and I think this Goodwill is better than any on the Missouri side. #1) It doesn't smell totally funky inside like most resale shops. (maybe a little, but not to the point where I want to bathe myself in hand sanitizer like I normally want to after leaving a resale shop) #2) Usually decent merchandise. I'm usually looking for furniture, housewares, and stuff like that, so I can't speak for their clothing selection. #3) Prices. Their prices are lower than any of the Goodwills on the Missouri side. In MIssouri they will have something with a clearance tag from Target that they are trying to sell for the exact price, or something that is damaged from target for only a dollar or two less. Some of the old, used, and beat up furniture they try to sell for almost as much as new. In fact, I bought a really cheap bookcase at big-lots for $25 and I recently saw the same exact one for $35 AND it had definite signs of wear and tear. Today alone I bought: 4 x iridescent stemless wine glasses that I just saw at Homegoods for $5-6 a piece, for $1 each. Funky wine bottle holder for $3. Full size modern table lamp with shade for $10. It looked unused, or very gently used. It looked like something that could be bought at Macy's for $100. read more

I never find anything actually worth the, ever present, long line waits. I do not recommend this goodwill.
