But coming to you from 2015, this place is rockin'!
Not going to give it the full five stars because it's not the cheapest or nicest looking store around. I expect cheaper prices as the place gets drabby-errrr. But that is by no means a reason not to go, just initially misleading.
The place is much more organized than what I read, even has a 16+ section which is nice.
Also note, the men's section is microscopic, even considering the smaller sizes of men's sections at charity shops, it's almost overlooked.
But for women, it's great. They have a sale rack out side, a $2 rack indoors, 50 cent table, boutique or price-ier items section, intimates and swim separated out and in baskets of different quality and prices: glorious.
The selection is wide in style and in size. I found basics I was looking for, like black leggings, and ridiculous cocktail dresses that I would't find anywhere else.
The ladies working there were extremely friendly and on top of making sure the people milling about the place got what they needed. They were really nice to one girl shopping there, helping her in the fitting room and encouraging her fashion sense, which, coming from snobby-mall culture, I appreciate.
They were having a 30% off day when I went which made everything even more of a bargain than the tag prices. I spent $24 and got a cocktail dress, nice black stylized leggings, a velvet+sheer shirt, two bras and maroon tights.
The girl who rung my up was sweet, funny, talked to me about clothes, gave me tips of other charity shops around and was just great.
Maybe not 5 star status, but this place is awesome. Should totally be a must on your thrift-list through Auckland.
