Salvos Stores Fitzroy

This is a great Salvos store. It's been expanding over the last few years, so the range is very big. It's also easy to donate goods, as there is a big area at the back of the store.

This store is massive. Nice staff and great prices too. They have a good book, shoe and activewear section and lots of stock to look through.

On the upside the place was well organised and staff were friendly but to be honest I was very confused by the pricing. The furniture and crockery were really overpriced for the condition. Some of the clothes were the same price they would have been originally. I was excited to come here when I saw how big it was but many of the clothes were not in good condition and some even unfortunately soiled which was really off putting, crusty marks, grease stains and coffee marks. I don't know what the protocol is but I was disappointed. ☹️

Big salvos store, plenty of stuff, washing machines and electricals available, several book shelves, parking available at the back,lots of shoes

It’s not the greatest op shop. I find the stock turn over isn’t high and the quality of the clothes is lacking, often aged or ratty. A few in need of a wash cause quite fowl texture or smell. Pricing is okay. I’ve yet to find anything great here. Staff are fine.

Words cannot express how deeply infuriated and disappointed I was by my experience at Salvos this morning. I've been on the lookout for a pair of work boots for an upcoming job, so naturally was thrilled to see a well-worn but very wearable pair of leather Timberlands in the shoe section. They were a perfect fit. Excited about my lucky find, I approached the counter to purchase the boots. The volunteer who served me, unfortunately, took it upon herself to deem the boots too worn to sell! I reassured her that I wasn't concerned about the wear and tear and would gladly take the shoes in their present condition. They were very wearable (I tried them on), so I wasn't concerned with the rough aesthetic. The lady then took the boots out the back to 'ask the manager'. She returned empty-handed to explain to me that she wasn't allowed to sell the boots as it was an 'OHS concern.' Beyond that, she claimed the issue was for her to SELL the boots, not for me to wear them. Completely, utterly absurd. I reassured her that I was CONTENT with the state of the boots, that I liked them, that they fit me perfectly and I would gladly buy them. She wasn't budging. Seeing that the woman wasn't interested in a conversation or a rational discussion, I departed in disgust.After simmering on the situation for some time, I returned to the store to speak with the manager. She informed me that the boots had been thrown IN THE BIN, and that since I'd left, the bins had been collected by the council. The high-quality leather boots were currently en route to landfill. Seeing my devastation at the news, the manager thought it warranted to interject with Well

I'm not usually a buyer at Salvos stores, but I do often drop of still-good clothing or other items we no longer use. Usually the side entrance on Westgarth St is open (onto parking lot and you'll see racks in front of or just inside the roller door). When side not open, drop off via the front entrance. Friendly staff.

This is a large Salvos store with a great selection of reasonably priced items — staff are also friendly and approachable ☺️

Leanne's the manager is a true legend. Volunteered here for some time. Great bunch of people, and some hidden gems now and than. Love ya, Leanne!

Good sized store with friendly and helpful staff. Clothing sections are large and well stocked in both quantity and variety. Good range of homewares such as cutlery, crockery and other kitchen & home decor items.Electrical items are a bit hit and miss; sometimes they will have fans/heaters, fridges, etc; Othertimes it may only be a lamp and desk clock. So it's a bit of a lucky dip there.My only complaint is the pricing for furniture (read: shelving, couches, ent units). While not overtly expensive, they are not what most people would consider to be OpShop prices.
