Another thing I want to discuss is the immense corruption at the regional level. There are TONS of horror stores about employee theft and how they give themselves steep discounts and re-sell the items themselves while sorting through and pricing items. IMO, theft is unethical in any corporation and the GW should not be... absolved from doing what right and helping their community. You use helping the poor as you platform, well maybe try pricing items so that the poor can actually afford them.Read More

I get that you're a "non-profit" helping the unemployed, but if someone isn't there to serve the poor with reasonable prices, then where do they shop?Often times items are priced higher than retail and junk items sit on the floor for several mos, while quality items are thrown straight into the dumpster daily w/o even ...looking at them. Wouldn't it make more sense to actually weed out the junk, sell quality items cheap for quick sale, then move the new inventory in quickly, and cut dumpster costs. Not only does this help the poor, it cuts down on the wastefulness of throwing out quality goods, attracts new buyers/helps the poor, and actually makes more money for YOU by generating more sales. I also get that you sell 90% of the clothing by the ton overseas, but why not help the poro in your own community? What good does an overpriced used item do if it never sells, you get it free anyway, + you get free work from gov sanctioned employees, so why not give a little???Read More

That sounds like a reasonable request.

My wife & I like to go to as many Goodwill stores as we can fit in on Sundays and rescue (buy) figurines. We live south of San Antonio so that is where we shop. Last week we took to the road and visited several stores way outside the San Antonio area, loved them all except the one in San Marcos. The San Marcos store wa...s very neat and clean however their prices matched retail for new products on many items. They were excessively overpriced. On the positive side workers were very friendly and the store was very well organized.Read More

No problem will do. Also the best part is they (goodwill) have kept me on their list and a few other orginizations (long term care facilities) and ticket to work programs are working with me too.

Not to mention back early last year I was volunteering at the donation center right next to the place that got me the job

Connie Karpowicz I'm writing because I want to know how you can justify charging 80-100% of retail for used stuff that you didn't pay for, and then throwing away tons of merchandise that wont bring your price.

That is right 166 Independent franchises with 166 CEO's making upwards of 300,000 per year plus.. See Goodwill is a great con game and you are absolutely correct to not believe one word these people say. Yhey are as much a fraud as Madoff and Ponzi schemes are. They benefit so few communities and so few people. I worked a number of years for them. I feel dirty just working for them. Please learn the truth about these non-profit monsters...

I no longer donate to GW, because of the horror stories about disability discrimination, overpricing, and employee theft or mgrs saving the good stuff and severely underpricing quality items to give themselves huge discounts so they can resell them.

Not to mention, it's common knowledge that a huge portion of the items donated go straight into ... Read Morethe dumpster, because of the overpricing and inability to make room for extra inventory from not being able to sell. Let me also point out that it seem suspicious when something on the GW auction is selling for hundreds of $$ more w/5days left than the same exact thing on Ebay w/only 5 min to go. I once bought a ring from your online auction and the shipping was $18. Absolutely ridiculous.
