Goodwill Bins in Fort Lauderdale

"If you want your stuff take, bait and switched, and to sit for hours enjoy yourself a great time at the Ft. Lauderdale bins… they have literally taken electronics from me and charged me way more than the pound because and I quote “they are worth more” I found these items in the bins I expect them to be atleast by the pound and you should never be able to bait and switched people who wait and dig the bins all day. It’s unbelievable aswell as they overcharge for hard goods to some people and then to others they don’t. I’ve been told it’s 1 per pound by the manager for hard goods and others I can’t even get a word in about it… bad experience, on top of that they take literally all the items out of the bins before bringing them out, it’s like what’s the point. Fix your stuff guys."

"pretty solid outlet store with some good finds, there are a few things to note 1st, they do not sell jewelry. They only sell clothing and home wears, no furniture either and very, very limited shoes. Certain items are not priced by the pound, I picked a few dresses, but they were actually eight dollars each so I ended up passing on them. Make sure you bring your own bag as carts are limited and they do not have shopping bags. no bad smell and honestly, the place seemed pretty clean and all the clothes seem fairly clean too. Two dollars per pound is a little pricey, but I would go back at the end of the day."

"I’ve been coming to the Goodwill Outlet in Fort Lauderdale for a while, but lately it’s become incredibly unfair for regular customers. There’s a clear issue with favoritism. The main employee who brings out the bins is constantly giving special treatment to a certain younger guy — it’s obvious that money is being exchanged between them. While the rest of us are waiting and trying to shop fairly, this one person gets first access to everything before anyone else can even look."

"***Update*** The stuff here has fallen off. You can still find a gem or two, but they're few and far between now. You can definitely find some hidden gems at the Goodwill bins, but the overall atmosphere can really take away from the experience. The staff isn’t just giving instructions—they’re often yelling at customers in a confrontational way, which makes the place feel tense. I get that managing the crowd can be tough, but the behavior of some customers is just plain rude. People will cut in front of you, reach over you, or even snatch items right out of your hand, acting like you're invisible. Another reviewer mentioned the same thing—it’s like basic courtesy doesn't exist here. If you have a high tolerance for rude behavior, you might still enjoy the treasure hunt. But if you have a short temper, you’ll probably leave more frustrated than satisfied."
