Salvos Stores Midland reviews
23Good selection of good but sadly the front line staff (Terry) was super unfriendly toward different race! This behavior is not acceptable in 2023! He was purely ignoring me from the time I walk in, he said hi to all Aussie customers and chatted to them at the counter. However when I go to check out, I said hi to him, he didn't even reply, he didn't ask for my phone number to find my membership in the system, when I told him Im in the system, instead of saying sorry I forgot to ask you, he said oh I have to re scan everything with an unhappy face! This is very bad for customers! Who does he think he is to judge me or look down on me? I'm there to spend money not asking for money!
The shop was great. Prices good. The Asian lady on the desk was rude. Didn’t have any customer service experience. She never smiled although I was polite. Felt she had an issue with me. Would not go back for this reason.
I dropped off some breakables and asked the staff where I could put them as I assumed they wouldnt want them in the bins. The staff were so rude, the man with the bald head in particular. They also need a better system than asking people to cart multiple boxes of donations to their back sorting area. Needless to say I’ll drop the rest off somewhere and else than have to interact with that horrible man again. If he’s a staff member he needs to be replaced, if a volunteer, some basic training on how to treat fellow humans with basic dignity would be good.
The air conditioning doesn't work well. Change rooms are so hot and humidity. Lovely staff rho.
Found some true bargain beauties yet again at this store, It is good to see their prices are almost at a fair standard across the board although some of their pricing such as DVDs and onwards is much richer than even other salvos stores such as Ellenbrook and others in more wealthy areas.
You will find the staff to be very friendly and helpful and that there are plenty of volunteers that stay onboard and will be recognisable very easily. The store layout is as best as the space can allow and is very neat and organised with a spacious feel.
You may find some very awesome bargains and oddities hidden around the store and the prices overall seem to be slowly finding their way back into it becoming a store where you might one-day struggle to walk out with nothing or even several items ️
I believe a decrease in the multimedia prices such as DVDs and they would see a much quicker turnover whilst keeping decent stock levels, Ellenbrook salvos offers DVDs at $1 a piece even on multi packs at times and keeps a strong library going still and I believe if Midland salvos were to meet similar pricing that they would market themselves as very affordable rather than being on par with the Pawnbroker stores of the area and their being very closely priced with their nearest competitor opportunity store Dreambuilders
The owner or manager here was very nice and so helpful made sure I had everything I needed for my house and didn't worry about prices. The Indian lady working here tho was rude and didn't seem to want to help me with anything I felt rushed and hurried til the manger came and helped me
Just dropped of 6 boxes of unwanted stuff. Staff very friendly and they seemed very happy at what was dropped off
One of my favourite Op Shops.
I can always find something for mum or myself.
They have a good range of electrical items and often have helpful items such as wheelchairs, shower seats and other living aids.
I find their prices reasonable and love browsing there.
Amazing staff always so helpful beautiful lay out
And great prices the new manager has made some great changes its back to being my favorite go to store
Absolutely gorgeous lay out. Whoever upcycled all the furniture, created a gorgeous display.
Disappointed that I walked out with nothing. I found the prices to be very high and walked over to vinnies and kmart to buy products cheaper.
Understand that there are overheads, understand that all goes to charity. I am an avid recycler. However, over priced for broken second hand items that I can buy cheaper brand new or managers that are attempting to be antique dealers that charge inflated prices for vintage goods. After being disappointed with the last 4 or 5 salvos I've been to. Ive decided to stop donating to this particular charity as well as visit their stores. I think that the concept of op shopping has been lost on this particular organisation.
Very friendly and helpful staff every time i have been there, bargains galore to be had all over the store, i shop there a lot and prices are really good on almost 99.9% of items will definitely be shopping there again in the future!
Nipped in there to get some Christmas present stickers and some things for my cosplay on my was to my work placement, staff are super helpful and understanding that I have found an item I thought would be great for a cosplay but it had no price on it 10/10 going to recommend this place to every one of my friends who live up this way:)
The store is neat and tidy, and the staff are often quite friendly.
I am pleased with my Anakin figurine and the Buzz controllers I have bought.
Ultimately a lot of the prices have seemingly steeped, prices vary considerably as well at times on identical items. Whether it is just flat batteries or true faults with the despicable me toy on the right is unknown but there is a $7 difference with no writing upon the cheaper one (such as "as is" etc) to speak of any faults there.
And in recent times the video game prices have raised beyond that of Ebgames and Hock shops in the Local area on some of the lower end titles as I have noticed
I find myself questioning purchasing from the Salvos store much more as it seems their competition (although not having such neat and tidy stores with great displays) have truly beat this store in prices in general and are contending with the name of the store.
I know that Salvos Midland has its upsides and that it may seek the balance of a luxury retail experience, profitability and value one day. But the value for money is where it has started to fluctuate.
For the luxury experience, quality clothing, a variety of brand new items and a loyalty rewards card I would recommend this store.
When seeking the thrift shop bargains. Explore deep and seek, you may be lucky.
Some really great finds here. Staff are all super polite and lovely, and the art along the walls/changing rooms is really cute as well.
They are understanding and it would be great if they give discounts at the counter, for the people.
I am a volunteer their 1-2 days a week during school. They're pretty good don't have much of a problem with them. But they cld bring their prices down a little an not be so expensive
Colourful and exuberant staff helped make it a memorable shopping experience. Great selection of goods and well situated with Good Sammy's, Vinnie's and Save The Children Op shops in walking distance.
Since they changed their business model last year, their prices increased and the services decreased. Disappointing. I tend to go elsewhere now if I want value for money
I love recycling stores! And this one is massive! They always have great sales on and a large range of shoes and handbags. I like coming here when ever I can:)
Love it.the variety is amazing.lots of treasures to find.and an amazing number of new articles.clothing gifts etc!
