Team Amvets Thrift Stores

Kind of torn on this place. Adventured here this morning on a whim. I got there at 9:30 and it was already packed. I found some good finds but overall I would say the store was super overpriced. There were shoes being sold for 20$ and movies were 5$. The place was kind of messy too. Most thrift stores charge half of what they charge. I didn't like that they charged sales tax as most thrift stores don't. Probably won't be going back for a while.Also- they staple the tags onto the clothes!!!! And not just regular staples. Super duty staples that are painful to get off. And they damage the clothes.

The worker is pleasant and friendly, they have a large selections and they're always cleaning up the areas. The pricing change lot for clothes I can't pay $5.00 and up on clothes, it's a thrift store not a department store but the rest of store the items are still a decent price, unless they they change their prices even higher. I go sometimes but not often. I wish it will go back when prices were reasonable.

Haven't been here in a long time. I wanted to check out a couple thrift stores in the area in search of workout pants. I found them all grouped together on one row. I just had to check the tags on each pair for sizing. I found three pairs I liked and when I checked out, the total was $12 and some change for all three. I didn't have to wait to check out and the girl who helped me was really nice. This store wasn't very big compared to some of the other thrift stores in town, but it was neat and organized. Be aware of your surroundings when shopping here, there were quite a few people just hanging out in cars in the parking lot.

Great baby and kids section with good prices. Got 8 pieces of clothing for $9. The store was clean and organized and there was a lot to pick from

No fitting rooms. How can you buy clothes without trying them on? There were a lot of cashiers though and they seemed friendly.

Don't bother looking at the clothes. They have a nice selection and good prices but they don't have a dressing room. Let me repeat that; no place to try on clothes that are "unique" sizes because they have been worn. No wonder they have LOTS of inventory.

Amvets used to be one of my favorite thrift stores... not anymore. They increased their prices by $2-3 per item! I used to also get a card to stamp after my purchases and they don't do that anymore either. Workers are pretty rude... not very friendly. Every employee seems like they hate their job. They also decreased the discount for seniors. Seems like the store just got greedy. Good selection of clothes but not sure if it's worth it anymore with the price increases and limited discounts available.

I want to first explain that I have been a faithful customer for over 40 years, since you were located downtown. I have referred customers to you. Some are from Madera and foothills. I let them know that the store is clean, friendly service and reasonable prices. I love that you have special discounts to veterans, teachers and seniors. I often run into people I have referred, on senior day. I work over 60 hours a week, so when I have a chance to go there I'm there. Have rarely spent less than $100 at each visit. Last time I visited, about 2 weeks ago, I was terribly disappointed and so were several customers, in fact 3 of them walked out. They had decreased the amount of discount for seniors, to 10%! It has been 20% for the longest time. What happened! Plus other color tag discounts, also were eliminated. I was so upset. I asked one of your employees, and all they could say was that, it's under new management. Don't you realize that you will, I assure you, loose revenue. Just that day, 3 customers walked out upset. I was surprised that, that day, SENIOR DAY, there were hardly that many customers, I was surprised that I was able to get a cart and parking, that rarely happens! You need to reconsider that you are doing. I felt it was important that I write and let you know how I feel. Didn't know what else to do. Don't know if you will listen to a long time customer. Sent from Mail for Windows

The service is awful. There was no price tag on the item I wanted to buy and they said that I could get it on Tuesday the earliest. I asked the lady if there was anything that she could do and she replied very rudely "no that's our policy it's on the wall"

went to Amvet's today. the parking lot was EMPTY.. so weird. normally, senior day has a line to get in....Well...I soon discovered why. New management is out to take every one of your pennies. they have reduced the veterans 20% discount to 10%. they have reduced the seniors day discount from 20% to 10%. they've done away altogether with their Thursday, student and teachers discount, and they will only do one color discount a day at 50% rather than the two one at 50% the other at 75%. and they don't combine any discounts anymore. so if you're a senior. Or a veteran, you can not get that on top of the daily discount anymore. You can have one or the other. and if you have a 50% off item, you have to get back in line in order to get that 50% off if you're a senior or a veteran. Because they will not ring up one with the other. so today, I was FORCED to only Ring up my regular priced items with my 10% senior discount. Then anything that was the daily 50% off, I had to keep in my cart. Turn around, get back in line and wait to ring them up separately..no...im not joking. They refused to do separate ringing in an effort to Make it as Inconvenient as possible for you to get a discount. The discount that they offered to get you here to begin with.. So..if you are a senior or a veteran and you have 10 things in your cart, you can ring them all up at your discount 10%. But if you happen to have a daily 50% off, they won't give you that at 50% off, you have to get back in line. It's really messed up. and the poor cashiers feel terrible because they've got management Watching them like Hawks and will punish them if they try to do the right thing. Unbelievable...just ridiculous. Last bit...the priced have gone higher on clothing and everything else
