Goodwill Bins in Romeoville

"I was pleased to hear of the opening of a Goodwill Outlet (aka “The Bins”) in the Chicagoland area. This is not your typical Goodwill experience, be prepared to dig through literal mountains of clothing to find things you like. I’m docking one star because of the parking lot. For the size of this place, the parking lot should be bigger. On a Tuesday late morning, every spot was taken and I had to park along the side of the lot. Many people seem to hang around for hours for the rotation of the bins. When they bring out new bins, people wait until they are all out before digging through the new pile of clothing. People have multiple carts filled with items. Likely many are resellers, but you can still find some quality items, some even new with tags. The items seemed to be about as clean as your average Goodwill store, but there were a lot of clothes with stains, which seemed more than average. Just make sure you inspect your items carefully and you’ll be fine. I would recommend visiting the Goodwill Outlet!"

"this is a goodwill outlet, not a regular goodwill, so adjust your expectations accordingly. the clothes are in bins and you have to dig through them. sometimes things will be dirty. most of the time they will be poor quality. and it is 80% clothes, yes. for now, the place is very clean and pretty pleasant to be in. my only major complaint is that they are putting WAY, WAY too much in each bin. it makes it impossible to thoroughly look through them, and it’s exhausting by the second or third bin. i spent 2 hours there (found nothing, by the way) and the tactic became just doing laps of the store and skimming the tops. as well as being there when new bins were put out. i’m sure i missed some decent stuff, but it was all i could do. bring your gloves, your muscles, your headphones, and block out a few hours. maybe you’ll have some luck."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Treasure Hunt for the Patient Shopper 🛒🧤 This Goodwill Outlet is actually a great spot if you know what to expect. Everything is in large bins, so you’ll need to be patient and ready to dig, it’s like a treasure hunt! Most of the items are clothes, and with a little time and effort, you can score some amazing deals. A few tips from experience: ✔️ Bring gloves (trust me) ✔️ Wash your hands after ✔️ Don’t leave any personal items on your cart ✔️ Keep your cart with you at all times, some people will not think twice about taking it or rummaging through it It can get crowded and competitive, but if you go in with the right mindset, it’s worth it. Definitely a goldmine for thrifters on a budget. 💸👕💼"

"Went opening day and was crowded. Went back a few weeks later not as crowded. But be warned be careful where you are sorting through because you could have someone a bin over just tossing things into the pile you are trying to go through. The employees are nice, the customers not do l so much. And the complaints about nothing sorted. There's a reason why the clothes are priced by the pound. You have to try and find what you are looking for. And no it's not more expensive than a regular good will. I got 3 shirts for under 2 dollars.(not 2 each but 2 all together) while the stores sell shirts for 3-5 dollars a peice"
