Bin Stores in South Carolina

"Visiting from NC where we also have a bin store. This location was much bigger with a lot more bins. Went on a Monday and found quite a few items. Definitely need to set aside a good chunk of time to sift through everything and to have items opened. For those that have never been to a bin store: -Items are either loose in the bins or in boxes -you cannot open boxes and need to take them to the table in the back to be opened -they provide large Ikea bags to hold your items in -each day is..."

"There's nowhere posted that there's a rule that cars parked at the far end of the parking lot begin the line up to enter the store and if you're not in line you don't receive a bracelet to enter. How is anyone supposed to know this? A guy named Ralph (called himself the manager) came out of nowhere and told us "the other customers should have told you about this rule". I then told him it's not the customer's job to have to tell me. He was standing at a distance, so I was speaking loudly so he could hear..."

"Enjoy going to this place. Large selection of items offered at this place and staff is friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that it seems quite a few items that were put out on the days that prices are $0.50 - $1, get left out and are also in the bins on days that prices are $5 - $6. The issue is that many times I run across items that I would like to have, but not for that price. Of course, this is merely an agitation and doesn't create any real hardship or problems for me. I'll continue..."

"Seriously the best treasure hunt you could ever wish for. I have visited a lot of bin stores around the country while traveling and this one is one of our absolute favorites. The only thing I suggest to people is please don’t open the boxes. They have a box opening station USE IT!!!! If you open the boxes and lose parts to whatever product is in that box, then nobody wants the product and your ruining a great Business. I have seen many bin stores close because they don’t have control on this. I always love when I come to..."

"Read: This is a LIQUIDATION store. Afraid of getting covid (or the flu, or a cold)? Then mask up or don't come. Boxes torn? Yes, how did you open your Amazon box and then send it back for return? Was the box torn? Or did a "not so smart" or greedy customer try to peek inside the box and tore it open? Both possible. Please be open minded and know where you're going and what to expect. One thing that I did NOT realize is that they sell expired food. I was disappointed to spend about $20 in food items..."

"So you have some young lady in there on a power trip. Short female short wavy hair. We were kicked out for no reason at all. We were approached by one employee because of box open which we did know know. We let her no we will not be doing it again she was very polite about the situation. Then five mins last the other girl came up to us very rudely and very disrespectful and said you have to now. She wouldn't give me the chance to even speak. We stopped when the first lady came up to us...."

"It’s a cool store. But like someone else stated, unfair treatment when it comes to the larger prized items. The employees also could be a bit friendlier. They feel superior over the shoppers and show it. Not cool. Updating this. You’re not new anymore. Where’s your restroom? I know the bathroom in the new location can’t be broke too. By law you need to provide restrooms Other than that. I felt like I was at Temu outlet store. You used to have great products. Not anymore. Still same unprofessional crap going on. Rules constantly change. A sales person literally pointed..."

"The staff needs better training. Every employee seems to give a different set of rules, and if the rules do change, that needs to be communicated clearly. I’m not going to scan a QR code just to enter a store—there should be a more straightforward process. Additionally, more care should be taken when hiring staff. Many employees appear unkempt and are often quite rude and condescending. If there’s an issue with customers looking into already opened boxes, then it’s the employees’ responsibility to ensure all boxes are properly sealed and taped. If that’s not being done, the blame shouldn’t fall..."

"Found some good finds… but upset about the way the owner handled things when it came to my mother and I looking at some of the merchandise. We were trying to lift the tape on a bag to simply see if we thought the product was what we thought it was (which I guess is not allowed.. the sign says do not open boxes but nothing about lifting the tape up on a bag to look inside)… and instead of him politely coming over to explain this to us, he yelled across the store. When we tried to explain we..."

"BUYER BEWARE!!! They shout at you with a megaphone to not open boxes. That's because many of the items are used / returns and as a result are missing parts or damaged. If you want to check an item, you have to wait in a line that stretches all the way back to Terra Haute. What's worse There are no refunds or exchanges, I could have bought a week's worth of groceries with what I spent on absolutely unusable items. They have terrible customer service since they won't do anything to make it right. They should at least offer refunds..."

"The store use to be a really good place to find some great deals. But lately the quality of the merchandise has not been that good. You can’t get accurate scans on anything using the Amazon App anymore. Seems like the items are no longer from Amazon. Maybe they will step up their game and start getting good quality items again, until then stay away. Update: went back to the store again recently to give it another try still not as good as it was when they first opened. Not really worth the time to sort through a bunch of..."

"This is a reply too stil la sorry excuse for an reply ive been to many and way many for u to put a "retail section" least do your damn reasrch nd put the right prices than the worse prices yeah o ly old people and others who dont do reserch will just think its a good deal when u have things that u go to amazon is cheaper is insane Worse idea for a bin store I've ever seen they take all of the stuff out the bins then decides the price on them for greed the reason for..."

"When I went to the store, I thought I had found some great bargains, but I was in for a big surprise. My wife picked out a picture frame that was marked at ten dollars. However, when we got to the counter, the cashier informed us that the price on the picture frame was not the selling price; it was the price they had paid for it. This happened throughout the store—items were priced one way, but the totals at the register were much higher. I also picked up a 25-pound dumbbell that had no price tag. When I asked..."

"2/10/2025 I attended the grand opening and then have been about four more times. I love it! It’s my new store. The employees are super helpful and go out their way to assist in any way. Another thing I love, is that all the items are based from Target, Walmart, and Home Depo. if you don’t think they have a price listed for 50% - 80% off the retail price you can use the retailers store apps and scan the item to see the retail listed price. Only down fall is all the times I have been, I have never..."

"I went for the 1st time yesterday & found a juicer for $65. I was excited but was advised before going to check that what I get actually works before buying. At the checkout counter, I asked the young cashier if I could test to make sure that it works before I buy it. He opened the box & told me that it was brand new & still in its original packaging, so it was good. I took his word for it & bought it. He told me I had 7 days for a return. I opened it today to..."

"I had a very disappointing experience at Bin Depot- Florence on 8/17/2025. While shopping, I was wrongfully accused of stealing with no evidence to support such a claim. It was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. Stores like this thrive on customer trust and repeat business, and treating paying customers as if they are criminals is unacceptable. If staff believed there was an issue, it should have been addressed professionally and discreetly — not through baseless public accusations. I left feeling disrespected and wronged, and I cannot recommend shopping here until management takes responsibility for how their staff handles customers."

"After a bad experience at local auction, I wanted to see if I could find some good deals, and I did! I found two pair of pants, a soft blanket, a litterbox house, a two pack of gummy probiotics, and a seat cushion all for about $25. I am very pleased and will return. Also, the workers were friendly!!! Huge plus."

"Friendly employees, always good buys and unique items to purchase great prices. They change everyday from $7 - $1 through out the week. On mostly all their general items. They do have a seperate area with higher priced merchandise for purchase."

"I love this place! Great products for really good prices! You have to dig through the items but it's worth it."

"My husband and I were in your store Friday morning. I have never in my life seen such rude customers. They ran all into me with the carts. I had several people snatch boxes out of my hand. I am 70 yrs old. I can’t believe people are so mean. I would love to go back, but no way I’m dealing with that."

"Wasted my time coming here. I came because I was told that they would restock the bins throughout the day on Fridays, which they should at $10 an item. I came at 2:15pm and asked when the next restock would be, only to find out that they were done for the day. They said they usually restock 5 or 6 times on a Friday. Google says that they're open from 12pm-7pm on Fridays, so I don't understand why you've already restocked the bins all 5 or 6 times when you're going to be open for another 4 and a half..."

"Wonderful place to shop, amazing staff. Shoutout to JOSH who is one of the best, really went above and beyond with helping my Mother and I! Hands down my new favorite place to shop! 🖤 …"

"BEWARE!!! This place is terrible. The system they use by hyping people up and making them stand for 20min before they roll out new bins out is dangerous. You will be pushed, shoved and elbowed, doesn't matter if you're a female. You will be lucky to grab 2 items before people shove their way in. They dont bring bins out on the hour like they claim either. They allow buggies, so that keeps people from getting in the bins to look. Also prices start at $10 on a Friday, bunch of broken JUNK. WONT BE BACK 🫡"

"People are too pushy, block entire bins with their buggies, you can barely even get close enough to the bin to see what’s inside. Everyone literally grabs all the good stuff within the first 10 minutes. Very disorderly and not enjoyable."

"Me personally the last few times I shopped there i have noticed every time I go to the box open. I it feels like other customers are always looking in to what I'm opening.And then asking me multiple times over and over , do you want that , are you sure you want that then they take forever standing there pretending to look at an item so they can look at everyone else Items and claim dibs on the returns i feel like they shouldn't be able to ask another customer if they want their item.I feel like that should..."

"I went on a Thursday afternoon and everything was really picked over. Nothing was worth $8 to me. Spent an hour searching the bins, shoes and clothing, but left without buying anything. Wasted time. Staff were pleasant, but definitely not a place to return to. Better clothing finds at the goodwill clearance center in Berea."

"They have the best quality products of any binstore! When you can find $100 items for $8 or less, what more could you ask for? And on top of that, the staff are super friendly and happy to answer any questions you have. This place is a must visit!"

"We had an unpleasant experience. The young woman who works here accused us of opening boxes, even though you can see what's already been thrown out, some even without bags. The manager was rude, yelling and laughing at us because of the way he spoke to us."

"We went on a Friday which is the day before restock so understandably it was pretty bare. There were hundreds of phone cases and screen protectors and a bunch of junk and that was about it. You could fill a bag for 10 dollars on Fridays which was a great deal but if you aren't a reseller and you didn't come very early, right when they opened, then you weren't going to fill that bag. They did also have some books. The clothing was really great. Not included in the bag deal but I believe all clothing was $3 when..."

"I absolutely love the store I love your employees they are always so sweet and so very helpful I’ve been coming in there since you opened and the ladies that have been there have always been so sweet and kind and have a great personality of someone that would run a store like that. I shop there almost every other day love it"

"Great affordable pricing. Good selection of men’s clothes. Had a little trouble finding what I wanted but Kelsey was able to help me find what I need and was very helpful and nice always has a smile on her face."

"Very reasonable in fact, I would say cheap prices. Lots of women ,& kids clothes. Even some mens. Some seconds but nothing worse than second. Overall worth checking out. I purchased my husband a pair of jeans & t-shirt, me 5 pair of underwear, a bra, 3 shirts & a pair of leggings all for $46. I would have spent at least a hundred to get all that at wally-world."

"Once upon a time I LOVED this place. The last 8-10 months it has gone way down hill. I'm not able to utilize the in store stuff so much since I have mobility issues and can't stand at the bins and go through the mountain of junk while looking for the rare gem. I have been bidding on the auction items and something's not right with them. Not once, not twice, not three times but four separate times, I have put in my right before the end of the auction, watched the timer tick down to zero, see that the..."

"My family and I have visited this location several times, have gotten overcharged before, but I did believe it was a human mistake so never did I made it an issue, or a bad review. since we was not new to the business we are aware of the rules. Some boxes are usually falling apart, but we understand the concept of the store so we don’t mind it. 🫠it seems like the employees where afraid of us stealing or opening the boxes, we was fallowed around the store and they told us multiple time to don’t open the packages, (it..."

"This was my first time in the thrift store. The staff were very helpful. They are careful when opening packages for you so you can see what is in the box or package. I had several items and they were patient with me. At the bin the starting day is Friday there's seven dollars per item and goes down each day. Tuesday was $2 a day. I got some very nice wrist splints and neuropathy type products. Everything looked good. I did not see any damaged goods there was a box and it had written that is did not work..."

"It's a good place to get cheap stuff but unfortunately my experience there has been rather odd. For example the amount of greedy people that go inside the store is insane because you hardly ever get anything good because the people that I guess pay to get there earlier than everyone else gets all the good stuff. Plus I've noticed that a lot of people horde buggies close to the entrance has been a problem because as far as I remember you're only allowed to use one buggy to your advantage to get the stuff that you want. I've seen..."

"Absolutely love this shoppe. Lots of bargains. Something new all the time. Owners are super sweet. Very friendly."

"Very great place and awesome staff we stopped by to just look around and found some bikes brand new in the box so we got 2 of them went home to put them together and one was bent I took it back and no questions exchanged it no problem at all will definitely be coming back soon"

"I love this store! I love the people who run it they are so friendly! They have great items! I just hate standing online for such a long time so I dont lol!"

"Wonderful new bin store in Honea Path. Small but super clean and high quality. No trash in these bins 🥰 …"

"While Bintime is practically the original "bin store experience", there's literally competition on every corner now. The past couple of years have hit every business hard & they're no exception!! The owners have gradually kept more more of the high ticket items from the bins & customers. They frequently & consistently remove ANY high dollar item before sending pallets to each store. Those items are then sold online & at auction to the highest bidder. While they pepper a hot item here and there & lure customers in with promises of super high quality and high dollar "wins", they're few..."

"I've been going to Bintime for a long time, but this is the first time I've taken the time to write a review. When I first started shopping there at the Taylors location I could always find some good stuff, but lately the quality and selection has been subpar. It seems that there is way too much Chinese junk, where at the other location we could find some good name brand stuff. Any good items are ending up in the deal den. The prices on those items are still good, but that isn't the reason I fell in love with..."

"When I tell you this is my type of fun! I discovered bin stores during the pandemic. It became a Saturday ritual just to have something to do! While visiting Greenville one weekend I was reminded that this store was in close proximity. As such, my mother and I opted to stop by prior to leaving the city. This store has a very organized layout. The perimeter of the store consists of The bigger and basically nicer items.. The Sunday I was there they had various clothing items, weights, kettle bells, electric bikes , furniture, just all kinds of good..."

"It's fun seeing what u can find. I like the $0.75 days, and I have found some really good stuff and only prefer new in-box/package sealed items. I have found a $60 Sonicare toothbrush, sterling silver jewelry, complete set of door handles/knobs for most of the doors in my home($30+ each in store), set of nice door handles for cabinets($10+each in store), beauty supplies, brand new $50 sports bra, products for phones, charging ports, water fountain for pets, set of new curtains, new queen comforter and sheet set, tools, etc. I could go on and on because I have found..."

"I went on a Wednesday that means that the prices should have been two dollars in the bins but when I got to the register she tried to charge me $10.80 for a jacket that was in a large bin full of jackets and clothing that were exactly alike. I had to leave without purchasing anything because the prices are not clearly marked and not as advertised. the employees were very friendly. The prices are just not as advertised."

"This store is awesome! I went on $10 day last week and bought over $500 worth of stuff, and it only costed me $45 after tax. The staff were very nice, and the products were amazing. I am so excited for next Friday's restock to see what else i can find!"

"Not your very best first impression... On this type of business it was big and spacious with a lot of items that weren't price very well (within sight, price tags ripped or misleading) a very musty smell, because of ventilation. Overall this place has potential... To grow into something big and beautiful"

"I've been here 2-3 times and I like shopping here, they do have some great items. Some of the prices of certain things could be a little bit cheaper I feel but I love stores like these. Also, I know there's the Monks Corner location but Is there another location you guys have as well? If so where at?"

"They are honest with the original price or always realy close. I think they are fair with the amount on days and what's in bins. You cant even go to 1 tree for 1 any more. Found many 20 to 40 items on 2 dollar day you just gotta know what your looking for. Dr Browns 4 pack bottle set of 4 bottles 2 dollars , many are single also but a good bottle 2 breast pumps 2 my daughter is going to have a good Christmas for our little bun in the oven."

"The store has very good prices, but there is very little to choose from, and the staff is very rude to customers. We went to shop there and the total was $8.88. We gave a $20 bill, and he gave us $1.12 back. When I asked him about it, he got mad."

"Seriously, they don’t have anything in the bins that’s worth more than $5 on $15 day! And to top that off, it’s all bedding!!! Who wants that!? It’s the same stuff I was getting at the other bin stores for $1. They are putting all the good stuff on the shelves for outrageous liquidation prices. It’s better to sell 1000 items at $1 and make $500 profit. sell a few items for $15 and only make half the profit."

"Be mindful of the prices before they ring things up. The cashier tried scratching off the clearance sticker as if I didn’t see it and selling me the item at full retail price. He seemed very annoyed that I said something but eventually gave me the item at the lowest price on the tag. Just make sure you are looking at the prices before checkout"

"Went to the Clothes Bin for the first time today and had a HORRIBLE experience. First, I walked in and I was NOT greeted into the store, as everyone else was. I felt weird about this because the lady was standing right at the front counter. Not only that, I could feel that she was staring me down as I walked around looking for my items. I felt that because I was so much younger than everyone else in the store, she was scared that I was stealing. She made sure to greet the order ladies in the store and..."

"I was traveling back to Ft Laud and had some time to kill. Happened upon this store and almost loss my mind. My husband and sons are super sport fans. Since Im from SCarolina I love the SC teams t shirts. Due to airline bag restrictions could only get a few tees. No other Tanger Outlets have Clothes Bin. The closest one to me is West Palm Bch. How can I obtain more tees from your company? Please advise"

"Stopped in last Monday for the 1st time found some nice new cute items for $6 a piece! Our only issue was the price difference we paid by debit card & didn't pay $6 a piece but $6.50 it ended up being. My daughter bought just a couple of items & indeed they were $6 a piece. I'm not sure why the price difference unless your up charging extra for using a card over cash!? Didn't see any signs saying so only ? Cashier asked was cash or card when we got to register. If you're charging more for customer..."

"I don’t want to hype this place up too much but they deserve it. I went in with low expectations but found some awesome clothes, with tags on, completely clean for a great price. There was a lady working that Saturday who was just amazing. Immediately talked to my friend and myself about the clothes, herself and our trip. We live 2 hours away and we will come back with intentions to come back to this store. 10 stars. ❤️❤️"

"Вот вариант отзыва на английском — естественно и по-американски звучит: > Great store with amazing deals — most items are priced around $5–7. The boxes can’t be opened, but it’s very easy to check what’s inside: just use the Amazon app’s camera (Amazon Lens), scan the barcode or the name on the box, and you’ll see exactly what the item is and its original price. Very convenient and transparent. The staff are polite, friendly, and always willing to help. Definitely worth visiting if you enjoy good bargains. To get best choice come half an hour before opening, at 9-30."

"Very rude staff (ladies in the back that open boxes are very nice and polite). But some security guys need to be fired, they are racist. If your teen dare to touch a box, they kick you out of store, if they walk few steps behind me I get yelled at, they want your children there with tied hands. Where do you see that at any other store that teens can't even look at the boxes that are closed and they are not even opening the boxes, just looking. Very dumb rules. I get it that they don't want boxes..."

"Almost left 3 stars bc of the HOURS of OP. It is terrible for the working class. This place is like any other discount store , you can or can not get lucky, you have to stand and dig- it’s like seeking gold in a goldmine. It’s definitely worth it. I have never left empty handed. I would give 10 plus star and change to 5 stars if they could open Atleast twice a month until even 6 for us who work during normal business hours or two early morning days around 7am. I am sure they would get more..."

"I'm sure each day/week will give different results but the items I found for $3 were much better quality than the odds & ends missing pieces of plastic I saw for $5 at the Mauldin location the day before. Spartanburg had a lot of Amazon items. I didn't take a picture of the sign, but the building does have their logo on it now. Some of my finds included a bubble lawn mower, hanging file folders, Sushi Go game, Golden Ticket game, rolling adjustable plant stand, Lego set, can/jar risers, sleep sack, book, blanket & bird feeder."

"I’ve been to Bin Empire in Surfside Beach several times now, and unfortunately each visit has left me with a bad feeling. The bins are often filled with broken or damaged items, and the overall atmosphere feels uncomfortable. There is a woman with dark red hair who consistently hovers very closely over me while I’m shopping, which makes it hard to browse in peace. Today, on dollar day, I found a metal sign that said “It’s always 5 o’clock by the pool”—perfect for my neighbor. While I was still shopping, that same employee came up to me and whispered that..."

"This Bin Store has unique products! The tools and household stuff was $3.00 - I got a dog door- (wooden) in the box for $3.00. What a DEAL!!!!!! They have Sam’s Products, Cute Mug Sets w/ spoon rests, children’s toys, sheet sets, and 8 piece comforter sets. I got a set for $7.00 today! This same set retails at Walmart for $27.99. You must come every week, because items change. * They have a 2 kids tables 5 items for $5. AWESOME * They have another table of socks, bras and underwear-5 items for $5.00! One bra I got was..."

"What a great store. I’ve found some amazing deals in here. Pool pump $2,bunny ears for my car, a wooden dog gate for the doorway for $1 , lazy Susan party tray $5 and soooooooooo much more. One day I ended up having to take 3 trips to the car and only spent $40. I definitely recommend shopping here if you love a good deal. They even have a 20 items for $5 bin that I found a bunch of holiday items including a snoop on the stoop."

"I love going to this place! They have $1, $2, $3, $5, $7, $10, and $15 days and they have nice things that make great birthday gifts and Christmas gifts. They have things that you need in your home and a variety of things at great prices! Just yesterday, I bought a few Sherpa blankets that are really soft and warm and my boyfriend bought a new shower head and a Christmas tree that we just love!!! Kim and Robin and many others are so helpful and friendly and treat you like family. It’s a great experience and awesome for..."

"I wanted to clear up some confusion in the recent review that seems directed at me. For the second restock, security asked everyone to return to their original spots, and I went right back to my chair toward the back. Anyone in that area — including security — can confirm that. The claim that I “snatched a PS5 from an old lady” isn’t true. There wasn’t anyone like that near me, and the reviewer mentioned being in the line at that time, which means they wouldn’t have been inside to see what actually happened. I found the PS5 while searching..."

"This store picks and chooses when they want to follow policy then when you say something they are rude and nasty ! I have gone multiple times where I’m at the check out and the cashier will take multiple small items and list them as one item together. Especially on days when the price is higher. Last time I was here on a $5 day I was able to get multiple packs of lashes (3-4) for $5 since they considered them small items, I go in today thinking I’ll get that same deal and mentioned something to the cashier and..."

"This store used to be good, but the quality of the items has gone down significantly. There are way too many seasonal paper goods and decorations that I don’t think anyone has money for nowadays. Some clothing and occasionally some beauty supplies that are ok deals. They used to have a lot more supplements and medications. The food items are almost always expired and so beat up. On some food, I would consider buying it, but last time I shopped, so much of the food was months past the expiration date. The box opening station is not very effective as..."

"I recently visited this bins store, and I won’t be going back. They’re illegally surcharging debit card transactions, which is a violation of the Durbin Amendment under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Surcharging is prohibited on debit cards—whether PIN-based or signature-based—and this practice also violates card brand rules. Their signage is not compliant, failing to properly disclose surcharges to customers, and they don’t provide a receipt unless you specifically ask for one. Even then, it’s only sent via text or email. I paid with my debit card and was hit with an illegal surcharge, which could..."
