Goodwill Outlets & Bins in Fredericksburg

Loved the staff at the Goodwill Outlet/the bins, they were very nice and helpful. I got some good clothing and shoes to resell at a very cheap price (I think clothes are about $1.50 per pound.) However, I have to say it was very dark and dingy and hard to accurately examine clothing because the lighting was bad. There was also a lot of dust which made me cough. But I love Goodwill and you really can't beat the price. If you are sensitive to dust, maybe wear a face mask. I would also come early in the day because by the afternoon the best items are picked over by the professional resellers.

Staff is great, probably need more of them though. Complaint is about customers. There should be a 1 cart per customer rule and people either need to not bring their kids, or keep them by their side. Two people jammed up registers by pushing 4-6 carts overflowing with items. I have no issue with great deals, we are all there for the same purpose. However, one person taking all the shoes or another buying all the toys and then preventing other customers from being able to move because their carts are parked all over the place, then lining up so many carts that the line is now wrapped around by the bins so again, customers can't shop, is ridiculous.

There's the Goodwill Outlet and a Goodwill Store at this address. The outlet sells things by the pound. There are large bins (see photos) that you dig through. It is sort of organized by the bin. Lots of digging for treasures. I found two totes that cost me $3.30 total. The Goodwill store looks like a department store. Very organized and great prices. Very friendly staff. I purchased a gorgeous cabinet for $31. Two gentlemen loaded it for me. There's a large parking lot but it was packed. I had to drive around to find a space. Both stores were very busy.
