Honestly, this place was pretty horrible, especially since it was almost impossible to find…read moreanything here, including an automatic teller machine or a place to top up my Opal Card. Okay, the help desk was sort of helpful, but then again despite their directions I still ended up spending ages actually trying to find something that I simply wasn't going to find anytime soon. The place is confusing, and while one might be able to get some cheap goods here, they fact that you can really only get here by car means that its accessibility isn't all that great either. Well, there is a bus stop nearby, but getting inside is still a challenge.

It's winter in Australia and looking for summer clothes? Well thankfully this salesperson at Seed…read morestore in Chatswood Chase mall suggested I go to this outlet mall where most retailers dump their past season clothing's. We took the Uber and it was located right along the bay. Beautiful sight and you can walk the 7 km if you feel like it. Found a lot of bargains. $9.99 summer clothes. $5 kids clothes. But of course, if you're into designer high end brands, They're all here. For tourists only, just visit the Guests Services and you will receive the Visitor Passport for extra discounts in most stores. Guests services also provides charging stations, complimentary herbal tea or water and lounge areas.

This David Jones is like no other. It's pretty badly organised, with not enough staff to keep the…read morerummage piles in order, and because of the sheer size of the range that David Jones carries, it's difficult to organise it. But if you are just browsing it's a great place because there are clothes, shoes, electrical, homewares and more under one roof. I bought a good quality brand name iron here for half the price I would have paid if I shopped in the department store. So this time I got a good David Jones quality iron instead of a dodgy K-mart quality iron for a similar price. Queues are often long, so be prepared to stand and wait - it's not a run in and run out kind of experience.

I used to work for David Jones, and I do like a good bargain…read more Classic fashion, fashion hiccups and the hell-spawn of satanic fuck-ups by the (usually) accomplished David Jones buyers always end up here. Occasionally you get to see some really awesome "my-god-what-was-the-buyer-thinking" moments of an entire wardrobe of the same style out on display, but in general, you find great great great bargains on really great fashion, gifts, homewares and small electricals. Like the voyager jacket I wear everywhere that was normally $395 reduced down to $70, and the Milano (that's DJs own brand) of shoes that were normally $200 down to $59. And the countless other great bits of classic fashion I've bought. It's a pity it just isn't a bit bigger. But there's nothing wrong with this place, and I like it.

Yeah I love all things IceBreaker and look for specials and bargains…read more Handy to have an outlet so close. When they do have sales they have some great prices for great merchandise. Not a huge store, or fancy in anyway. It's just set out for older stock and bargains. Worth the visit for anyone looking for quality and warmth with natural fibers .

Also a white lace minidress with lovely bell sleeves that was by a local fashion designer...and yes, these all came home with me. Shout-out to Natalie and Hazel who were both extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. One big gripe that may sound silly but it's a legit issue: they pack WAY too many items onto each rack. They are so tightly packed together that you honestly can't slide them apart to see a garment. I mean there is truly not even a tiny gap between the hangers; the hooks are hard-pressed together on the clothing rack bar. I've never seen this many garments shoved so tightly, even at a down-market thrift store. It made it so difficult to browse that I ended up skipping past big swaths of racks that I really wanted to look at but simply could not access. It was bizarre and extremely off-putting, which is a shame.. If I could have actually SEEN the clothes properly this place would get a full 5 stars. Dear shop owner: if you absolutely must put out this many items, just buy longer racks. There's space in your store to put in more racks, especially upstairs. You will sell MORE clothes when people can actually browse through them. Stop buying hangers and start buying racks!

In what can only be described as a mini recycled clothing hot spot, lies, amidst two charity shops,…read moreU-Turn Recycled Clothing. A slightly upmarket opportunity shop. Where as shops like St Vincent De Pauls, or Vinnies, as it is known, stock large amounts of everything, clothes thrown onto racks and boxes and boxes yet to be unpacked waiting patiently out the back. U-Turns is more sparing with the clothes that it sells. It's as though the clothes must first pass a series of tests before they are displayed in the shop and sold to the masses. Are they stylish? All the clothes available on the U-Turn Recycled Clothing racks are very hip and very apt, some faux fur formal wear for your first foray into furry fashion. Bold and brash cowboy boots with buckles and buffed leather finishes. A hat made of a mink that makes you think about the stink it would have caused to hunt said mink and taylor him into a hat. The prices reflect the classier appeal and display of the clothing and, while cheaper than most first hand clothing, is a little pricier than the shops next door. You could find, mixed amongst the trash and bland clothing in most thrift shops, a piece of treasure that would look so bold in your wardrobe, but to find that you would have to be lucky. Likewise it would be quite unlucky to find some trash in all the treasure at U-Turn.
