Save the Children Cannington

This is my first ever negative review of an op shop. I generally love the philosophy of op shops and use them a lot both to donate and to buy. I brought a bag of nice, clean clothes with me today, but the sign on the door said they did not accept any donations. This would be fair enough but the shop is literally overflowing with items that WILL NEVER SELL. Loads of stained, torn, damaged clothes and shoes. It seems as though there is very little or no selection and everything ends up on the hangers. This is such a pointless exercise. There's no space for new donations but a significant amount of what's on the hangers will never shift anywhere. Additionally, there's very little rhyme or reason to where the items are displayed, ie mixed sizes, colours etc. it's a real shame because it's such a massive space with so much potential. The shop.coyld be making so much more money if it was better organised. Please, could the management do something about it?

I never give bad reviews. But this store is an absolute joke. Currently moving house and dropped off some clothes and was given a hard time by two elderly employees for the donation. Returned a few days later to find my clothes on display, even on the mannequins. I then tried to drop off some kitchen wares. The employee watched me bring the heavy box all the way to the counter and then refused me. An absolute joke of an op shop.

Quality clothing and lovely staff. Would’ve given 5 stars however I genuinely feel their prices are too high for an opshop - in comparison to many other opshops. I likely won’t visit this one again as I prefer to know there maybe some sort of discount, especially if prices are already ‘up there’ (like salvos half price colour discount or vinnies/sammys regular 5th/10th visitor). I understand there will likely be a response/‘reason’ to my negative but it won’t change that opshop prices of late are much higher than they need to be.

Horrible!!!!! Bad quality clothing, limited items, I had asked to use their toilet as my son was busting but the staff told us that they wouldn't help. I would rate lower if I could, but sadly 1 star is as low as it goes, and frankly, even that is too generous. Their heart may have been in the right place with the name and ethos, but their execution is appalling.

I love this Op shop. The staff is very nice. Well organised display and there are lot of good goods playing hide and seek. I do understand the shop opening hours may vary unless we become generous to offer our free time to take a role of a volunteer at this shop. I bought some $5 dresses for me and a game which I had been looking for for several years for my kids. Also I bought some music books for my entire family. So happy to stop at this op shop. I will come back when I need something.
