About Goodwill Southern California Store & Donation Center
Goodwill Southern California Store & Donation Center offers a spacious and clean shopping environment, though experiences can vary. Many customers find it well-organized with a decent amount of staff, making it easy to browse items. Some shoppers appreciate the variety of unique items available, including silly ceramic pieces, but have noted that prices seem to be higher than at other thrift stores. Customer service also receives mixed reviews; while some employees, like Leon, are friendly and helpful, others, including the manager, have been described as less accommodating. Donation drop-off hours can be inconvenient, as some customers have reported that donations are not accepted shortly after opening. Additionally, there are concerns about the store's temperature, described as uncomfortably hot on occasion, which has affected the shopping experience for some. Overall, the store has potential, but improvements in customer service and pricing may enhance the experience for future visitors.
Went to drop off items, young gentleman came to help grab items out the car. Fast service.

Meh. I usually find at least one item, if I search the whole store top to bottom. My best finds are just luck of the draw, from visiting so frequently (it’s close to my house). Their trinket/home goods/etc section has been virtually empty for the past couple weeks. Idk what’s up with that…?
