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!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. 💸👕💼"

"Goodwill on steroids... The staff was excellent, professional, and super helpful, but unfortunately, that was the highlight for me. First off, adjust your expectations. This isn't like any other Goodwill. Second, the clothes are in bins, and you have to dig through them, so bring gloves. Third, it was a huge mess, and nothing seemed organized, with higher prices than my local Goodwill."

"Very fun experience digging through the bins and searching for hidden treasures! My friend and I went and had fun watching the resellers go crazy when they roll out the "new" bins every so often. If you stay away from the crowd, you'll have personal space and be able to dig through the bins for a while, but if you go to where the new stuff is when it's being brought out, you'll be amongst others who are aggressively digging and throwing things everywhere. Not a fan of the resellers sitting by the entrance/exit and live streaming loudly, but it was definitely a fun experience and the employees were very friendly and helpful!"
