Editor's Review

Goodwill - Delaware is a mixed bag, and it’s clear from the reviews that this place has its fans and its critics. On the positive side, many customers appreciate the variety of items available, especially in the home goods section. J'Nessa Stone hit it on the head when she said, 'The dress selection is fantastic! This is our go-to thrift store.' Fair pricing helps keep folks coming back. However, not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Multiple reviews mention questionable customer service, with Tia LeMaster lamenting, 'Literally the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had in my entire life.'

Another recurring complaint is the store's policy on items without tags. Morgan Durfee was understandably upset when a staff member took a stuffed animal from her child, stating, 'I will never give bus,' highlighting frustrations that seem common among shoppers.

So, what's the takeaway? Goodwill - Delaware has potential but needs to address its inconsistency in service and policies to truly shine. Those willing to overlook some bumps in the road may find great treasures here, but be prepared for a few frustrations along the way.

Horrible goodwill. I've been to almost every goodwill in mid ohio. They have a policy if the tag is off they take it and throw it into a pile to be repriced for the next day. No other goodwill have done this. The incredibly rude lady took the kids st...

First time to this location. Seems the store is way bigger than needed. Not as organized as some others I've been into. The prices were fair and reasonable. Seems like they mark one category the same price no matter what it is. I'll be back again.

Rude employees. Another thing, your no tag is a lazy excuse. Not customer friendly. You can always price it as a like item that has a tag. Even if you have to make a tag it probably doesn't take more than a few minutes to do. I've worked a different ...
