😠 The guy who works there seems to be a bit of a jobs worth and doesnt seem to be really that interested in your donations.They say charity begins at home.It certainly doesnt start at Barnados Congleton.Better to take your donations elsewhere.

😠 Twice I have tried to donate to this charity shop. The first time I had large bags , parked and struggled in, only to be told by a lady that they are not taking donations today. I tried again last week only to be told by the same lady, they would only take donations if gifted aided. Naturally both t...

British Red Cross shop, Oswestry

Thrift store

🫤 Lovely staff, no complaints there at all… The prices however, are utterly ridiculous. It’s a charity shop for heavens sake and it’s charging people £15 for items of clothing. It’s way too expensive and something really needs to change

Oxfam

Thrift store

😠 Visited the store today and the stench in there was putrid. I think it was eminating from the big bloke behind the counter. I was awful, it was a very warm afternoon also which made the smell even more ripe. I suggest a bottle of shower and some Lynx Africa

😠 We have been donating to BHF Andover since 2003 in memory of my father-in-law and have always found the staff friendly when we brought in donations. However, that is not the case this year - on my last 3 experiences bringing in donations the staff have been unhelpful. They make you feel they are doi...

British Red Cross shop, Hove

Thrift store

😠 So overpriced and all the design/size labels cut out of garments. Found a plain white t-shirt priced at £15 looked like a generic t-shirt you could buy for £3.50 at primark and the label was snipped out so you dont even know where its from

😠 We requested a pick up from BHF Acocks Green and when the driver arrived he said he couldn't take anything but he could come back tomorrow as a private person and clear everything for £80!!! We reported him and the woman in charge apologised and re-arranged the pick up a few days later. When the dri...

British Heart Foundation Home and Fashion Store

Thrift store

👍👍 I think this place does not have enough recent positive reviews. I imagine all the negative reviews in the last few months are special cases. I had a delivery come today: incredible service, the two movers climbed 3 stories for 4 heavy items. Nothing but kind and helpful in the store, and when I ask...

British Red Cross shop, Chelsea

Thrift store

😠 I saw a review that said ‘they forget they are not harrods’ and I completely agree. I found a lovely sweater but as I was trying on a pair of Gucci shoes I was thinking about buying (questioning the authenticity) a sales assistant was hovering so closely over me and giving me suspicious looks. As wa...
