Cancelled my pickup without any explanation. Tried to contact them numerous times before and after - no answer. Don't waste your time - they are highly unprofessional and unreliable.

I always find these places interesting. You never know what you'll find there and it'll normally be a very good price. I don't buy clothes there but I see people who pick up some very good brands at very good prices. Sometimes the clothes are not even used.

Since this Salvation Army store location is in the exact same location as the Salvation Army’s donation center, it seems to get a lot of the best merchandise. If you are looking for furniture, you will find a lot here.

This review is mostly for tourists as most locals know already: Prices are a much higher than you might expect for things like wall art. They have some items that are high value priced far too low and some low value items priced far too high. Not much of a precise rhyme or reason for the pricing as is the case in many second hand shops. That's part of the fun in going to places like this, right? Books are always great value here though. I found a first edition Harry Potter Philosopher's Stone in mint condition and several early print Tolstoy novels in okay shape for a dollar I think? Maybe less. It is a Salvation Army Store so don't go there expecting a trendy second hand shop. Not a super clean place like a boutique "thrift" shop would be but certainly not dirty or anything of the sort. The staff are polite and helpful but again...don't expect a boutique experience in customer service either and for a multi-story large store ( different departments[housing, clothing, furniture, etc.] on different floors) it can still be a little crowded or at least it was when I stopped in. Most of my fellow customers were tourists, locals from the neighborhood, a few boutique buyers on the hunt for stuff to resale at their shops, and most notably a group of 20 or so well meaning but rather frustrating ( to the staff at least, lol) immigrants that were trying to ( quite smoothly I might add) barter the prices lower in what I think was Portuguese? I don't know what language and neither did the store staff, lol. Lord have mercy on them because it was a situation worthy of an SNL skit. Ha! A lot of smiles around the room watching that mess go down. SO there you have it, like everywhere in NYC the rich and poor and middleclass all live and shop at the same places sometimes, The Salvation Army Store is one of those places. Anyway, I hope this helps any tourists coming to the city that were curious about the shop. Have fun and enjoy the city!

The best selection of used clothing that I’ve ever seen. All are in great condition, many name brands and some with tags, never worn.

They have everything here. They don’t have instruments. But they have almost everything. A great place to go on a rainy day. You can find almost everything here, although again, no instruments.

Trying to buy a pair of slippers for a costume. Picked up a pair that really should have been trash. They were absolutely filthy and worn out. The woman at the counter wanted to charge me $25. Just too expensive.

The home decor and kitchenware section was small but I was able to find some nice items that will make great gifts.I'll definitely be returning in the near future.

It is not nice at all and there is a young lady who is very rude and disrespectful, I definitely do not recommend it, try another store

I love this Salvation Army store right in the heart of Manhattan.First: when you shop or drop donations here you are helping men and women recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. And that is a good thing.I donate goods here, glad to help folks in recovery and contribute to saving things from landfills. The staff in the drop off area are friendly, taking my bags from me and offering me a receipt.I also shop here. As an eBay seller and selling coach, thrift store like this are a great way to support non-profits and find items to resell online.When you get to the top floor where clothing is- always note what colors are on sale. I take a picture with my phone. Typically Wednesday is Family Day when most of the merchandise is half off.Note: with NYC bag rules, bring your own bags. There are SA branded shopping bags for sale for $2 when I was there last.

This is a review for a donation drop off. I was skeptical and almost drove all the way to the Bronx.Staff were super nice and helped me unload and carry my donations. I had 2 big cartons of products and a very large laundry bag of clothing.I drove right up to the open door driveway of an old fire engine garage at this Salvation Army location early on Saturday morning before too much traffic (10:10 am).Many services that pick up unwanted merchandise charge for this service!I suppose you can request a receipt but I didn't as I rarely am able to claim this on taxes.Happy my old stuff can be reused by others.

Furniture is not much but the clothes are a lot. Most of them are for women few for mens.
