'Eye Candy for The Mind' - that was my impression the first time I walked into their store. Lots of vintage (and not so vintage) LPs , and a whole lot more. One of Burlington Ontario's hidden GEMs. And I mean that literally as well as physically , this place is really hard to find. But well worth the visit.

First time today going here (ever) after couple of gov. imposed lockdowns since it opened around…read morethe same time last year My impression of this store was that it was quiet, organized, the people working there were nice and there were a lot of stuff to choose from. In the aisles, the items were organized based on what they were while the at the ends of the aisles (the side near the clothing) were organized by colour. The prices seemed to be lower than the couple of thrift stores I have been to. They don't calculate taxes on what you are getting so if you spend $5, you will pay $5 which was a shock to me (in a good way). I will probably here many more time in the future. I would totally recommend coming here.

*Rating only for the Donation Centre*…read more The Donation Centre at this Goodwill location is great! This plaza gets pretty busy and parking seemed to be packed but if you're looking for the Donation Centre, it is located on the right side, where there is additional parking. There is also a curbside area with signage directing you to pull up to for drop-offs, there's no need to park. At a glance, the Donation Centre looks to be very clean and organized. There is a large door open on the side of the building for donation drop-offs. We were told to leave our donations in the doorway, and the staff will later retrieve and sort through them. They operate with contactless donations - how convenient! Goodwill works with organizations that provide assistance to those with barriers seeking employment and upgrading their skills. What doesn't get sold in their stores, gets rotated to other locations, to Goodwill outlets, then sent to textile factories to be upcycled and repurposed. If you're looking to donate your items, please support non-profit places like Goodwill, rather than for-profit businesses in the area like Value Village and Talize.

Kitchen appliances, computer chairs, retro kitchen dining sets, crappy vintage floral couches, CRT televisions, stereos, desk lamps, ironic scenic paintings and BLINDS. Every student needs real blinds instead of those see-through bedsheets that are a peeping tom's dream-come-true. This place has all the furnishing you need to put together a student dwelling! If you're doing renovations, they have supplies like surplus tiles, light fixtures, even unopened cans of paint and caulking. It's a good deal, worth checking out and it all goes to a good cause. They also accept donations if you're moving out and don't have time to sell your furniture, etc.

I haven't been to VV Brantford in a long time. I went in last week to look for a specific pair of…read morepants/leggings & found 3 pairs which I would need to try on. I couldn't find the change rooms! When I asked an employee she informed me they had been "removed", that I'd have to purchase the items and try them on at home. I was floored! When cashing out, I specifically inquired about "return policy" and how much time I had to return the item/s. I was informed 14 days to return merch. Never within the scope of our conversation was it mentioned that store policy was "EXCHANGE ONLY". It wasn't until today when I went to "return" for a "refund" was I informed that the store is EXCHANGE ONLY - as an employee pointed to the fine print on the receipt. I was so angry at not being informed of this when I made the purchase & was specifically asking about returns, I tossed the item/s in the cart and told them to keep my money! So NOT ONLY have your stores REMOVED CHANGE ROOMS, you now FORCE people to PURCHASE (perhaps several) ITEMS, go home try them on, come BACK to the STORE (wasting more time & $$), all for an "EXCHANGE" instead of a REFUND!! I'd say that was a HUGE RIP OFF! I have donated several items of wares and clothing to VV over the years - I will no longer be doing that. Your store policies are ridiculous especially when one cannot try on items! Also the prices you're charging for "donated" items is getting pretty extreme - especially when one can buy similar items new for less at discount stores such as Giant Tiger... Bring back the change rooms and "exchange only" isn't an issue - I'm done with VV.
