Thrift Stores near Rockaway, NJ

“A blonde worker (whose name I forgot to ask for) approached me and held up some clothing making suggestions. A very sweet interaction. While running the register and the sales floor, she also informed me where the deal of the day tagged items were.
When we got to the register her mood seemed to do a 180 and she seemed down and like she was trying to take care of a million different things(if you work retail—you know), (and other reviews have noted this same thing happening with what I’m assuming is this same person, actually) but nonetheless, she still made me want to return to this location.

My complaint really falls on what appeared to be a staffing issue. A suggestion: hire more people so this woman can continue to drive up sales. Running around the store (while I’m assuming the other workers have their head down) obviously exhausted her. She went from smiley to looking really exhausted in a matter of 10 minutes.

If you don’t take care of your workers, they will move on to somewhere where they are appreciated. I hope she finds a good spot because she was probably one of the nicest workers I’d interacted with in a LONG time… just so disappointing to see her running the store by herself while seeing other workers not bother to help her.

AND most of the clothing she suggested, we bought. I’m so sorry for not being able to give her credit. It was Thursday May 29th at about 12 PM if you can look up who was working that day.

If you read until here; retail workers sometimes are working long hours, with other workers that don’t care and they probably get yelled at AT LEAST once per day. Remember that before you’re quick to write something damaging… could end up being their job.
And no it is not OK for people to be rude to each other, but remember that if someone isn’t giving you 110% it could be for a good reason…especially at a super busy GoodWill.

My heart goes out to that super nice person. I hope things change for you!! Thank you for being awesome!!!! (:”

“The customer service was absolutely excellent! They had every book you can imagine and their entire children’s / Teenage section was so well organized! It made for the perfect Saturday, and they were very good with my 2.5 year old son!”

“Best thrift store. While chains like Goodwill and Savers raise prizes past brand new, you can find gems and good brand clothing and basically anything here for probably a buck or two. If you’re buying outside, a nice employee will eyeball the stuff you want and take cash. Cheaper than garage sales. I’m so glad I live close by now.”

“The Thrift Store at 25 Market St, Morristown has a surprisingly high quality of donated household items, everything in beautiful condition and beautifully displayed! It's more like an elegant, high-end, in door garage sale, with an amazing variety of quality items in every household category, but with LOW, LOW PRICES like you would see at the last hour of a garage sale when "everything must go!" We love the bargains, but even more, we love that money is all going to support the wonderful, caring work of the Market Street Mission!”

“This small store is well run and easy to find. Plenty of goodies to be found inside, including designer labels and unique trinkets. The volunteers are so friendly and know the store like the back of their hand. How do they fit so much into this space? Added bonus: proceeds go to much-valued volunteer services in the region ($40,000 last year) .. so your retail therapy will really help the community!”

“A hidden gem! Pretty reasonably priced beautiful items. Shopped in the 5$ sales rack, shoes are 50% off right now. Can follow them on IG @taylorsconsignment for any updates on special hours etc. Offers tailoring services on the 2nd floor. Very kind owner”

“FYI: There is a 3 bag/box limit per donation.I want to say that every experience I have here is good but I unfortunately can’t. I still think it’s a decent thrift store and I always buy something from them. I also really like the woman who usually works the front and I have always found the prices to be fair. There are some great deals on houseware, clothing, and Vera Bradley. The store has a 3 bag/box per donation limit that isn’t advertised until you go to the back to donate the items. I do not donate frequently but try to give them quality material when I do. Today I tried to donate 3 bags of clothing and shoes plus an additional small box of housewares (silver plated serving dishes and Pyrex cookware). They accepted the bags of clothing but wouldn’t allow me bring in the housewares box from my car. The woman in the back was rude and aggressive with her delivery of this rule and just unkind. I was taken aback given that I drive out of my way to donate here instead of a Goodwill/Salvation Army - thinking that a small thrift store would appreciate this more. I understand that everyone has an off day but when rules for donation aren’t explicitly advertised, some grace and tact would be useful for when someone unknowingly tries to donate outside the rules.”

“What a gorgeous consignment shop. They do such a beautiful job with, not only curating lovely things, but then presenting them in such a way that you walk away inspired with home decorating ideas of your own... Prices are reasonable for the treasures being offered... Worth stopping by this one regularly!”

“It's an excellent place where you can feel in family, they love to help others and share their food with the people that need it. They love to share Bible promise's and pray for many people... I love to help in this place too.”

“i frequent this thrift store, and it’s definitely one of my favorites in the area. the employees are all super kind and friendly. the only things i will say, sometimes the prices are too high, and you will see items sit for a long time because of that. the other thing is, the women’s racks get over stocked, which makes it very difficult to browse through. items will come off the hanger, especially tank tops, or they get tangled. it ends up being more work for the employees in the long run to fix. i think they should add more clothing racks for the women’s clothes. and if you lower the prices, things will move faster, and you won’t have that problem. sometimes i skip looking through racks that are too stuffed.

overall, better than goodwill! and the money you spend actually does help people.”
