Salvos Stores Craigie

Great little op shop. Always super friendly staff ready to help and have a chat. Whenever I go in to “just to have a look around” I’ll come out with some small treasure. Bonus than it’s my local.

I would love to know who is behind all the greed in this shop! so much for helping those in need.. can't find much under $15 in this shop anymore. I can't afford to buy clothes brand new hence why I go op shopping so I don't appreciate t shirts being $15!!

Lovely little store, always find some goodies there. Love the way they dress up the front window display differently every week & put up a Facebook post so you can see new stock. No junk, you can tell they have gone through the donations and only put out good items. If I have occasionally found a mark or missing button etc they gladly lower the price. Parking easy and right outside shop. Staff happy and when I was last there, there were local high school students helping out as part of their community service, there was lots of laughter & they were trying on clothes to show customers different styles, was a fun atmosphere. Some shops have a musty smell from old donated goods but this was fresh and welcoming you to snoop around.

I experienced an absolutely awful encounter with a staff member at this store who berated my four year old son for sitting on the floor and playing with a toy. This woman handled the situation attorciously and was extremely nasty to myself and my child leaving all three of my children in tears as we left the store. I am disgusted with the way we were spoken to and treated!

What the ___ happened to the Salvos? I gathered a Bundle of about 5 things in there the other day and they tried to charge me $74! I put half the items back and despite much resistance I managed to get the attendant to negotiate on the $15 boots (that were making a mess all over the counter from the flaking leather) because I assured her there'd only 1 or 2 more good wears out of them. When I got home I realised the other 2 things I bought were damaged/ faulty as well including a $19 jacket that didn't zip and had missing buttons. Better off just buying new.
