Employees are very rude and clothes are all over. Pricey for the stuff they have. I was trying some clothes in the fitting room, manager knocked the door and kicked me out. She was leaving and wanted to clean the fitting rooms before. That was 4pm. They close 7pm!
I would have to say this is a very nice place. And the staff is awesome. I go probably 1 time a week depending on my need for puppy blankets.Big, organized, decently clean! No smell like I have read in previous reviews. I mean cmon we are in Oakland and downtown. So ya maybe some homeless population around or inside. Whatever... Really. Thats what salvation army is right. A place to re-home clothes etc At bargain prices!
Find some dope ish like 3 out of ten times i visit wich i think is pretty good for a thrift store especially one in down town OAKLAND
Why did she have to be so rude?I arrived at 5:50 PM because online it says they close at 7 PM. I was excited thinking I had an hour. And then the lady at the cash register start shouting at me, “WE’RE CLOSED”I said: Ahhh , it says your close on 7 PM online.Then she says again “SORRY WE’RE CLOSED“Then I say: OK :-(As I’m walking out I’m passing the shoes, so I have nine minutes at that point and just looked at the shoes quickly, because I can make decisions in a minute. And then I hear again: “MAM, WE’RE CLOSED!”She really had to go there and include the MAM.If it’s 552 by that point, they’re still technically openSoooo darn rude.
Clean, organized, depending the day. They are fresh new arrival things. It is in the edge of Chinatown
Employee were very friendly and helpful. The selections were much better than the goodwill I been too. Prices are affordable with 25% off on Saturday making me save even more. This place is busy and quite big. Location down town china town everyone stop in and out seem busy.
The store is decently clean inside for a thrift store. Some good deals on brand new items. Usually a good selection of quality, slightly - used furniture available at this store. Parking can be a challenge, but sometimes you can get lucky. Metered, on-street parking. There is a parking lot with a salvation army sign about a block away.
You can find just about anything at the salvation army. I been going there with my parents and grandparents since I was a little kid and even now as an adult its a very special place.
So I got a shirt. Half off white tags today. The people kept to themselves. If you want assistance youll have to ask for it. But if you dont like being asked if they can help you & followed around the store its the perfect store for you. Decent selection for a second hand store and I enjoyed shopping all around down town Oakland. The atmosphere and people are unique and friendly.
I usually find something cool but, I also go through e everything 1 item at a time when I do this I find better stuff today I got a brand new long sleeve grey wool button down shirt , a short sleeve like cut like Hawaiian style just not loud , and a tank top a little used for a little over 10 dollars , also there was an illegal I saw shoplifting
Sales on different color tags every week cool finds
Great thrift spot. Lots of furniture and fair prices on kitchen supplies. Theres even a corner of the store for pricier, more specific and quality stuff. My only gripe is the hours theyre open. (Update. Longer hours. Nice) Otherwise a great thrift store.
Ive Been there many times and never once smelled urine,, the atmosphere is very pleasant the same with every employee I have encountered.
Huge selection of clothing and convienently organized. Staff was wonderful.Dressing rooms were big. Hthry had multiple tag and date sales which is always a plus.Also for those driving they gave free parking a block away. Just get the pass signed after your purchase! Nice to know if driving around crowded oakland.
This store has do many good deals. Plenty of new items with tags on them. The staff is so nice and helpful. I love this store.
Its a thrift store. Some of the previous reviews have been harsh. Please be nice to the staff, Im sure your kindness will be appreciated.
The cashier lady on Friday morning was very rude not helpful at all she over charge my items.Need more people to keep clean and organize.
This is the best value thrift store in Oakland. It is better to take the time and explore the store. I have the most success during weekdays. The boutique has a wide range of jewelry and shoes are nicer . Worth spending time to shop.
Salvation army those help everyone out.thre goal is too recovery people who was missed leaded down the wrong path.giving them hope in there community to be a humble survent of christ our suvor. Three mission is too help gods children and give them hope .three not about profit-sharing and other things media may say. But too give back too people as they did into others.it was once say you make one step Ill make the other.for those dont know.salvaton army provide services all over united States. Making away out of no way.they provide all resources available to them. Making a huge effort in all community service threw out america. Their mission is to focus on community and giving help to those in need
There are wide varieties of clothing.. Lots and lots of jean which is cool to me. Now the accessory category is a little lower than usual but the experience is always a pleasure. Thanks Salvation Army Store...
This store has great furniture, wonderful people working there and a great place to drop off items. Location is great being so close to the freeway. God bless them for the great work they do.
It was coo. The clerks are very polite and they dont tolerate rif raff and thieves try a b slick walk in out without paying. I really appreciate that. They dont profile black people either. All 3 people tryna steal were middle aged white men. Hey. Im just saying........
While I was in the store, waiting in line to buy a small dresser and some other things, an older man came to the front and was taking the dresser that the sales clerk had asked me to bring up front. When I told the man that I was buying it already, he started swearing at me....he was calling me all sorts of foul words and cussing terribly but the staff did nothing to stop him....it was determined that he was right and he continued to tell and cuss at me. I left the store because I was so upset. The staff again did NOTHING.....I think they were afraid of him but they should have asked him to leave or at the very least, admitted that they had made a mistake and offered some interference or a kind word.
Not a beautiful location and store , but it serves a Hugh purpose to anyone in need of recovery and job training....support this non profit place...I prefer Macy’s and Nordstrom but would rather give to this organization
Went there today. The showroom has been painted and remodeled. The Furniture displayed was beautiful. I’ll be back weekly.
Great selection but you have to search much more than at Goodwill or Out Of The Closet. No sizing organization and mend and womens are mixed in. Safe was amazing and helpful
I think that the staff here is absolutely amazing. Always pleasant. Looking for items here is a real hit or miss at times though.... As to be expected with any second hand shop.
To expensive and no parking. Thrift stores are meant to be for deals! $14.99 for a used nightgown? I can get a new one for $10 at Ross🤦♀️
Good location in Chinatown . Free parking lot next door. Plenty of discount according to the color of the ticket. Merchandise arrive daily.
It changed my life. My 9 month stay with them has gotten me 12 years clean and sober as of June 2015. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your program.
Telapthy is real. We call it Slave net. You are a part-time cyborg slave to the government. Reality is much more like an episode of Black Mirror than you are allowed to believe. Snowball, Zion out
Great donating experience! Be aware - the hours listed on Google Maps is for the shopping side - donations are open until 6pm every day!
One of the best second hand stores with a very large section for clothing as well as they are salvationist you can find things to wear and thanks for your heart spirit
Very bad customer service you try and get a hold of hr very unprofessional as far as employment is concerned makes you drive a hr away just to tell you to contact hr just awful dosent make any sense
I went in, found what I was looking for and in less than 10 minutes, I was done. Crystal the manager helped me. I truly needed help and she was the answer to my prayer.
Good streamlined donation processes with minimum human contact, and cars lined up to drop off one at a time.
Called twice and they hung up both times. I wont be going to this location.
If you need a quick bargain are you looking for hidden treasure I guess so but it will take time because you have to look through everything closely and purchases are affordable
Since the Remodeling... It is not the same store.Would rather go to any other second hand store, this is not the one.
Its a larger floor, usually stocked pretty well.
Love this place I always find a good shirt and nick nacks
Store looks good after the remodel. Prices are way to high tho.
The staff in the donation center are efficient, friendly and generally very helpful. Best experience by far!
Come early for Donation drop off..If not prepare to wait.Like the location, convient and close....
Great finds and good staff
When you drop off used clothes and stuff they got a guy there has a rude attitude
Donation took 1 minute and the staff were really nice :)
A basic store with occasional gems or sale items. Good solid staff, parking not so good.
The cashier is very nice ,customer service very well
Always find good clothes furniture and cookware
Its a good place! There you can find good stuff really cheap and kind attends.
We went to donate some stuff to them and they had an employee had a bad attitude
Great staff but hard to stomach the place with a constant smell of urine. Dressing rooms are disgusting.
Salvation army always has good recycled
We love the place the help is fantastic I dont like the fact that you know that I was there I feel like its 1984
Friendly staff , community building and always find something I love.
Fun to shop and discover gems at a low price. It supports the employees who are getting back on their feet.
Tough program, solid church. Doing the most good. These people save lives.
Its a wonderful place silkyboe rating a 10
A crowd of half-way-house types storm into the place regularly at around 3:00 PM. Weird.
Its gavin bish
Great selection of rugs and furniture. Easy parking
Currently not assessable due to flooding
Difficult to find things. The racks are too crowded and clothing is not arranged by size.
I like salvation army and have a good price. Thanks !!!
They had 2 hats I liked
Nice! Good people, clean place. But no BR? Come on.
The employees are cool and the managers in Oakland and Alameda are great.
Nice and easy donations unloading with friendly helpers
You can find a excellent thing there.
Centrally located right off the freeway friendly people and always willing to help
Helpful and quick unloading, goes to a good cause. Easy in and out.
Very convenient drop-off location.
Bought new kitchen chairs! 50% off Wowza!
Can usually find good use books cheap
Walked in walk right out with what I wanted
Can find stuff here occasionally and also has a donation drop off
More value for your money!
Filthy store with rude and inattentive employees.
Lots of stuff. Great prices.

2022-03-14They Ripped us OffTook our money and the table—wouldn’t give us store credit when we realized the table was too big for our car. We never even got the table out of the store, but they wouldn’t even let us try to see, if we could take the table top apart (which was completely doable since it was an expandable table) The so-called manager, of this-so-called charity wouldn’t even give my elderly mother store credit for the table we had just paid for…PLEASE DO NOT BRING DONATIONS HERE. They treat everyone like trash, no dignity or compassion here.

2022-06-05Very courteous staff, clean, well-organized and a very generous selection. But, I would be remiss if I didnt disclose my affinity for the Blood and Fire.

2022-02-11A very wholesome experience to see to the happiness of people buying used/donated items. There appeared to be a joyfulness in their souls.

2021-12-23The Adult Rehabilitation Center at Salvation Army helps men suffering from addiction and alcoholism learn to overcome thier disease and live healthy, productive lives. I have personally witnessed the miracles that occur here and it is wonderful and beautiful, thank you Salvation Army for all that you do. Every life matters.

2018-05-08Love this store. I can usually find what I want or need for way less than retail.
Review №8
2021-07-08Pretty decent store, most of the items are clothes, but everything seemed to be reasonably priced. I ended up getting some toy cars for my son and a propane firepit. Yhe other furniture seemed decent, if not a little outdated.

2021-11-20Lots to choose from but they dont have a return policy of any kind. If you buy it and it doesnt work for you for whatever reason oh well too bad you lose!!! I can not spend my money here when they dont appreciate their customers enough to have some sort of return policy! All that I hear this place saying is Me, Me, Meeee! I dont mind spending when I know if something doesnt work out I can take it back for a fair exchange.

2020-12-06I’ve always had a great experience at this location. The employees are helpful and polite. I’ve never smelled anything bad, it smells like all thrift stores. You can find some really good deals and most things are priced fairly.
