(Please do Yourself a Favor: do your shopping/donating to Project Phoenix {Dearborn St}! They are 100 times more appreciative & helpful!)I've known Goodwill to be Quality, having shopped here long time; even after the store changed Management.BUT NOT after purchasing 2 pairs of jeans last night for husband (we've purchased there, on quite regular basis).Purchased this at 1501 Placida Rd, Englewood, FL 34223 Goodwill location.The pants Regrettably did Not fit him.Thought to self: just take them back- it's been less than 24 hours: Nope, the Manager stated they do NOT allow returns of any type, any longer!!!In past years- Goodwill was dependable, always Excellent & would recommend to anyone!!!....NOT Now.Rather ashamed to admit shopping here now.... I've heard many Englewood locals complaining about the "New" Goodwill.(They've 1 superb employee, Patrick, who's Awesome, Amazing with wonderful attitude! Professional, cheerful, kind) who made it through the "Changeover" (which then new store became expensive, lost ALOT of 2nd hand items, replaced by new now; deceptive advertising: shortly after Changeover, I was emailed 50% off coupon, that after couple hours of my shopping there, for Holiday presents was informed, they would NOT accept!!! Had to put ½ items back, wasted 2 hrs of my time!, and totally frustrated).Over the winter, asked about if they had a heater for my workshop for ranger girls, was told there was No way that could find one. I called Project Phoenix (Dearborn St) & the ladies went to work looking! Next thing You know, I was told to come on over: they had 2 units!Really! With this visit, it's Last straw!! They are given ALL these items by Donation: FREELY given to them & they cannot, will NOT work with a patron who has shopping here for years!????!! That's Absolutely: RUDE.Was looking forward to just exchanging for a larger size, BUT No way!This deserves Noting.HOPE someone will listen, & make Necessary changes, for I will NOT shop here again.Yes, Goodwill is a oxymoron! Should be called BADwill, husband exclaimed.

I’m perturbed about Goodwills pricing!!! They are NOT doing any great service to the community!I mean Come On!!! EVERYTHING IS DONATED TO THEM!!! Yes they employ disabled people but they don’t paid them much. I think the higher management is padding their pockets Really Well!!! It GREED!!!I NO LONGER donate to Goodwill due to their Greed. I encourage others as well to donate to other Charities that help people!!!NON-PROFIT? HA!!! Someone's making a HUGE PROFIT!!!There are people who can’t afford to shop at Goodwill!!!!

Found things twice with no cash tag on it inly a size tag. Get up front to pay and they tell me they can’t sell it because it wasn’t priced.

Ever since they switched to Manasota goodwill they have been in a downward spiral. DISGUSTING and chipped Yeti cups for TWENTY DOLLARS?? A keychain that was $80 NEW priced at $125? Absolutely outrageous. The clothing racks are empty as well. They have no idea how to price anything.

Used to be my favorite location! I don’t know who took over but they have messed it up so bad. Everything is jumbled. Sizes aren’t separated by rack tags anymore so you have to look at every tag hoping to find your size in something. It was red tag half off but since they took 5% off red tag 50% off didn’t matter. They stopped $1.49 sundays and mondays. From what I can tell by today the 50% off tags color is no longer a thing…even though the signs say it is because they took 5% off. I’ll miss this location

I used to really enjoy this location, but after the new ownership took over, the prices are insane!! Unfortunately, I won't be stopping here often anymore..

I’m not sure who exactly does the pricing here but the price for things especially donated things that a lot of people are donating for those less fortunate to be able to get what they need but save a few dollars that they may not have to buy new yet here they charge a insane amount for used things I have seen things priced actually for more here then to buy new at the store I’ve seen things that were purchased at dollar tree for 1.25 being sold here for 3.99 I also know I am not the only one I know multiple people who stopped coming here because of that for their prices your better off buying new and not donating to them because they’ll sell it for way more then what it’s worth this was at 1501 Placida road in Englewood

They refused to accept donations (a bag of clothes). Stated they don't accept donations when thunder storm is happening. There was none yesterday - just cloudy and occasional drizzling. They should find better excuse.
