Brotherhood of St Laurence

“Quite a big Op shop that has a large range of clothes, books, pictures, decor, homewares etc. Brought sweet little t-shirt for 6 year old and some books. 19.7 husband looking for a certain size plastic container, me just browsing as usual, however did buy a coaster and placemat set, in unopened packaging (an unwanted wedding present?) which was one I actually used to have a long long time ago but wore out (Monet prints), how weird, had to buy.”

“Bought a lovely knitted blanket, good nick. Great customer service as always. Love that op shop 100% recommend”

“New managememt has improved the layout and ambience of the store... The staff are friendlier too. They have a great range of homewares, some collectibles, interesting jewellery and great books. The clothing is set up so you can buy tops and pants from $5, but there's a section with better brands and retro stuff as well.... Great store and fantastic shopping strip as well!! 😂 👍 👍 👍”

“The clothing at the time I was visiting was/is split into two areas. One area by the counter which has pieces individually marked as they deem them to be of more value, and another area which have untagged pieces set at a price depending on category. I selected an item from the area which have a flat price (a basic dress of a non designer). The assistant had eyed me the whole time I was in the store so knew which area I had been. I started to feel uncomfortable so decided to just pay and get out of there. When I handed her the dress to pay, the assistant looked over it, feeling it, holding it up and saying it really was a beautiful piece and shouldn't have been in the section I found it. She asked me if I removed any tags off it (I was offended she accused me of this) and told me it was too much of a steal to have it for the usual flat price. She then tripled the price and said it was fairer at that price cos it was too nice an item. This is not the first time I've been to this exact store and told the price I thought my item was, should have been higher. The first time even had a price sticker on it. It's such a shame that these gestures are deterring people from coming into their stores by jacking up their prices and also changing their mind on items. I used to donate alot of items to this op shop but I won't be stepping foot in here anymore sorry.”

“Not a large shop but stacked with lots of stuff. It has a double shop frontage but the surprise is how deep it goes in. Makes for a fascinating time looking around the place. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere.”
