Shopgoodwill of Berwyn, PA and some Shopgoodwill has a policy that a signature is required for orders over $100. Is it too much to ask Shopgoodwill and the others to inform their customers of this policy before an order is paid and shipped out instead of finding out later that if no one is at home to receive the package then it will not be delivered? The customers can then provide a work or business address where someone can sign for the package. I understand Shopgoodwill has to protect themselves from packages getting stolen but why not punish the thieves/porch pirates or customers that files false claims instead of punishing all their paying customers. The rules should be change, if the customers paid the shipping cost, the customer should be given the choice if they want a signature or not to receive the package. If Shopgoodwill pays for the shipping costs, then they can make up any rule they want that favors them, it should be as simple as that. Luckily for me, FedEx scheduled a delivery on a Sunday and I can stay at home to receive the package but unfortunately, FedEx did not even bother to ask me for a signature, so much for that store policy.

The only thing I don't understand that.....yes....you're sending you're money to help other people...and I've been using S.GoodWill Online for awhile now..... BUT... I just can't wrap my head around a person spending $300 on an item you could find ANYWHERE fort $100 or less... Which brings me to the question "Are Goodwill employees allowed to bid?" Because if I was ONE of them I'd just purchase items at a crazy high amount until "I Assume" the item gets put on to the floor. I even TESTED this with an item I wanted that cost about $200....& put up a price at $450....& Believe it or not...the next day someone put $1 over and won!!!.....A week later I saw the item back online ......Disc. t he same EXACT thing.....Lost.....but this time "It Disappeared" It's just that either people have no clue that they're other places to buy. For 10x's cheaper (I HIGHLY DOUBT) or there's something else shady going on. I've always been a GoodWill supporter ...even when they went online....but now it just seems like a cluster of people placing crazy amounts to either have us spend more or for them to get GoodWill price on the floor. I mean with the amount of money I've heard/seeen people spend....maybe add GoodWill bucks/Points to use later on....it would make up for the price gouging/shelling that HAS to be happening..... I don't....I miss the old days of going in looking into the glass cabinets up front to see what AWESOME deals they had.....they still give you the PUNCH OUT cards for $10 off after you spend X amount....but for the 20-40 male AGE group ....Why would we go into the store knowing that the items we like are 100% online? I used to go in weekly ...now maybe 3 times a year hoping someone messed up and put an item I like on the floor. I guess the store is now for women from the ages )60+ who go there anymore.... Kind of sad when your think about it & even with people saying "We Will NEVER USE G.W. ONLINE AGAIN" Theyll be back hoping to get that lot people missed. On that note....someone should secret employe the online store and Whistle Blow what's truly going on. Thanks Again and I hope someone with a consciousness sees this and trays to remedy the situation......Plus they should look at REDDIT too. They'd be amazed!! Johnny V

Any “bargain” you find will, likely be negated by the preposterously high shipping costs and handling fees. Great stuff, overall, but be sure to search elsewhere for the item you’re interested in before hitting the “buy it now” button. Online resale is HUGE - so I don’t think it will be too much longer before shopgoodwill.com becomes more in line with the shipping/handling costs of its major competitors.

It can be fun to participate in auctions. Most Goodwill auctions have some nice items. Much of the clothing is New With Tags, but if it doesn’t sell, it just circles back again. You will see it later, if you watch long enough. Beware of HIGH shipping weights. I have seen items listed as weighing a few pounds, but shipping weights are 10 pounds or more. This will add a much higher cost to the auction amount. I saw a neat framed painting, bid amount was at about $10, it weighed 3 lbs, but shipping weight was so high the shipping cost was over $47! A few extra pounds for box and packing material is acceptable, but wow. Most of the money goes to a good cause, so just be cautious and have fun!
