Ypsilanti Goodwill Store and Donations is one of six locations in the Metro Detroit area that sells gently used items and accepts donations. The donation center opens an hour before the store and closes an hour before it. The store offers a decent selection of clothing, which is well organized, and a variety of vinyl records, although many are heavily used. The store is generally clean and neat, but some customers find the furniture prices to be too high. There are multiple fitting rooms, though occasionally some are blocked off, which can be inconvenient. Pricing at this location has received mixed reviews; some find it reasonable, while others mention that prices can be vague and inconsistent, with orange tags sometimes indicating higher prices without clear signage. Staff at checkout may sometimes lack friendliness, as some customers noted they did not receive greetings or thanks. Donation policies vary: the store does not accept furniture or picture frames, and donations should be sorted and bagged, not boxed, to streamline the process. Customers have reported that staff scrutinize items during drop-off and may refuse certain items, which can be awkward. Despite these issues, many appreciate the store's selection and organization, and it remains a popular choice for nearby shoppers. For more details, visiting their website is recommended.
Unless you're buying clothes, expect to pay some high price. This was the first store I've ever been to that doesn't have bags.

I own a resale store in Detroit called Hiptique Resale. It is difficult to find high quality items in excellent condition locally as they are highly shopped in my area. This particular Goodwill ( not all) has high standards for their donations. I am a pro and I was very impressed. I'm going back today!

Very nicely organized and clean, fully stocked. Some prices are not logical.
