Salvos Store Newstead

“These prices are completely out of touch for an op shop. Charging $20 for a secondhand top defeats the whole purpose of being a budget-friendly economical option. Op shops exist to make clothing accessible, not to mimic retail pricing. It’s unreasonable to mark items up just because they’re from an average brand, especially when stores like Zara are fast fashion and should not be priced above $15 at most. Remember, these clothes are donated for free. If you want to stay true to the mission of an op shop, the pricing model needs serious rethinking.”

“Considering all other op shops in Brisbane this has better price options if you don't have a lot of money. I bought a few good treasured here today Salvos seem to be the way to go for op shops these days. ”

“During a visit in store, a homeless man came in and asked the staff if he could take one of the donation bags as he needed clothes. They told him no. He then proceeded to pick a few items from the shelf, went to the counter and asked the staff member if he could possibly have a $5 discount as he only had $20. He was told to “come back another time” Disgraceful”

“This op shop is now listed as a Boutique. So don’t go expecting some amazing deals. Don’t get me wrong, there is some alright deals but there is a dedicated section for overpriced clothes which occupies a good half of the store. It’s mostly fast fashion brands listed for imo too much listed as “boutique” items. Lovely staff, they just need to be more transparent about this shift from good deals”

“Gorgeous little op shop tucked away under the Bunnings, very high quality selection and lovely staff!”
