They…read morehave a wide range of sizes and styles, and their prices are low enough that they rotate through their inventory frequently. They also have a nice selection of shoes, an impressive formal wear section, and recently started carrying men's clothing. During my visit today, I noticed that they've really upped their jewelry game too! Bonus points for the friendly and helpful staff and inspiring displays.

It's some good quality stuff that they carry, and I can see some trendy outfits that can be made from clothes on the racks. While waiting to checkout, I also read that the people who work here are mainly volunteers and the proceeds go to a local women's shelter. They also give out vouchers for women in need and vouchers for Back to Work. What a great mission with great clothes!

Horrible experience. Absolute waste of time. The store is a…read moretotal mess with items piled up everywhere, but that's her problem. What shocked me was her attitude: the moment I tried to pick up an item to look at it, she immediately snapped "NO!" at me. She literally forbids customers from touching anything, rejecting every single inquiry with a rude "No." It creates an incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcoming atmosphere. To top it all off, the prices in this disorganized hoard are completely detached from reality. Paying premium prices to be treated with absolute hostility in a messy, empty store is ridiculous. Do not waste your time or money here. Avoid this place at all costs! UPDATE The response from the owner, Chelsea, is an absolute fabrication. Her claim that I was "going through her personal belongings behind the counter" is completely ridiculous and utterly false. The items in question were sitting directly ON TOP of the main sales counter, thrown into a disorganized pile in plain view of anyone entering the shop. If these were truly your "personal, not-for-sale belongings," why on earth were they left piled up on a public retail counter? This is a desperate, made-up excuse to cover up your hostile and completely unprofessional behavior. Furthermore, you did not "politely explain" anything. You repeatedly snapped a single word at me: "NO!" - treating me like a dog that had wandered into your yard rather than a human being and a customer. It is pathetic that instead of taking accountability for your terrible customer service, you choose to invent outright lies to gaslight people. This owner is not just incredibly rude; she is completely dishonest. Avoid this place her behavior is absolutely unhinged.

I discovered this sweet shop a few months ago when doing some Bellingham thrifting with my mom…read more It's in a fairly large space and is so incredibly well organized - one of my #1 requirements in a thrift shop! All of the items were clean, and there wasn't really any "junk" to sift through to find treasures. As always, I started in the kitchen area, where I'm always looking for some interesting bowl, jar, or rare kitchen gadget to add to my collection. Then, I meandered over to the linens, through the furniture, over to clothing, and of course spent a considerable amount of time in their crafting and book area. Their prices were super reasonable, and the staff (who all - or most - appear to be volunteers) were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be adding this to my Bellingham thrift store rotation!

Visited this Goodwill location a few months ago…read more In short: the prices have gone up enough that it's almost not worth stopping by anymore. I'm sure rents have gone up and Goodwill is feeling the pinch like a lot of businesses/not for profits these days but when your closest competition is Value Village and your prices match or exceed VV's, that's a red flag to me. Our most recent visit was definitely our most disappointing one. I found a number of interesting looking games, two of which had multiple price stickers. These two were both card games and when I brought these to the attention of an employee I was told that the higher of the marked prices were the most recent. Each of those card games was priced at $10, which to me was ludicrous. On the other hand, large boxed games like Monopoly were less than that. Clothing was also more expensive than I'm used to in this shop and so I found very little of interest. The selection and quality varies widely as you might expect, so you never know what you're going to find. Plenty of parking out front and the staff were friendly enough.

The store is laid out well with a variety of items. The prices are reasonable, I just didn't see much when I went. But that is how thrift shopping goes, it's often hit or miss.

I shop at Value Village somewhat frequently and I would just like to comment that the return policy…read morethey have in place for not offering dressing rooms and listing their second hand items at the rate they do, seems very unreasonable to me. The only "return" option is actually a strict exchange (no credit issued) that needs to either meet or exceed the amount of original purchase within 14 days. Lets say I buy 4 pairs of pants that I cannot try on in store, at $12.99 a piece and none of them fit, thats $52 worth of thrift store merchandise that I need to purchase, in order to return the used pants that i had no option to try on before buying. This policy also leads to people trying on clothes in the aisle because of course they would.. and ultimately this creates an unprofessional environment and personally I feel disrespected as a customer. I hope Value Village considers restoring the dignity of their customers by either offering a dressing room or changing their return policy in the future. Thanks.

So until they realize that and ESA animal is just as important as a service dog, this review will stay here and I will not support any store that will not let am ESA support animal inside their store...I had an emotional breakdown inside there after they told me I had to take my animals out of there. This is highly unacceptable and truly wrong. ALL SUPPORT DOGS ARE EQUAL! SOME ARE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS!! SHAME ON YOU VALUE VILLAGE!! CHANGE YOUR STATUS AND BE FOR THE PEOPLE!!

Even though it's the closest consignment shop to my house, I find The Clothes Rack to be a little…read moreoverwhelming. They have everything and I mean EVERYTHING - the place is pretty jam packed and decision fatigue is real here. But once you get the lay of the land, figure out where and when things are kept, and realize that even the cool stuff on their walls and displays is for sale, it's hard to walk in here without buying at least one or two things. I like to start in the back, at the 50% off rack, then work my way towards the higher priced items in front. Yes, things are a bit pricier than you average consignment shop here. But you get what you pay for, as most of their items are high quality, recognizable brands, and I rarely find anything flawed or dirty. They also have an impressive selection of accessories, including designer bags and lovely costume jewelry.

The First time I came in I needed a box to ship a snowboard, I assumed I would have to buy one, but they looked for me but couldn't find a specific snowboard box so brought me out some ski boxes tape and scissors! Mind you I had never been here or shopped here before I couldn't believe how gracious they were! Not to mention I had a friendly dog hanging around as I was building the box! So rad! The next time I had to sell some of my gear to pay a bill and the guy working in the gear section could feel my pain and gave me a really solid deal that he really didn't have to! This place is special In Bellingham and the people who work here have to be the best spirited team in any shop around town. So that being said if you want to have a good day looking for gear or selling or buying gear by a crew who truly cares your only place to do it is here. Thanks again. Mark
