Vinnies Wembley

“Yuck! I would never set foot in Vinnie's again after my experience in Perth. Full of horrible old ladies who -- given they are volunteers -- seem to like spending their free time picking on young women in their stores. They would never DARE treat young men the same way. They would never.”

“The ladies could see me waiting for opening time… I was a 3 minutes early… all trying to look busy but waiting for the exact time to open. As a Catholic school teacher who works above and beyond my work hours…. I find this part of the faith community and retail workers a sad trait to have!”

“Overpriced. Expensive. I’ve purchased the same items at other opshops at 1/3 the price. The way they price donated items feels like they have shareholders to take care of.”

“The greed of places to price things the same you can find them in store. These things are donated! A profit is understandably necessary but it’s becoming more frequent that I leave empty handed due to these prices. Some tips: Kmart and target clothes don’t belong in the designer section, and I guarantee if you lower your prices you’ll sell so much more, people will return to shop here, and you’ll have to send less DONATED clothes to landfill - this favours not just your business but the local community and the environment.”

“I regularly visit this shop as I live nearby. I always find well priced, quality surprises. The staff are extremely helpful and curtious and friendly, particularly addressing parked cars unaware of the parking arrangements, wrapping large items carefully, on request, and just helping around. Some items are more upmarket and more expensive than others, but I often find great designer items for the regular price. For all this and more (great pictures section) I will return.”
