Came in with my partner to look around was greated by Victoria and Maddison who were so kind and warm when welcoming us in. Couldn't help but hear them helping out another guest and they listened intently and made sure the guest felt heard and taken care of. I'd give 10 stars if i could.

Great store, first time customer. Walked away with $125 store credit card that I can use back in Nashville, Tennessee. A bit crowded and a great way to recycle a large amount of clothing, shoes, bags quickly. Offered 50% store credit of their sales price that label on the,spot. Very transparent. Only 25% cash for unneeded items. Disappointed only in their retail price on namebrand, like new handbag and boots. Make more on marketplace but with zero hassles.

Great experience, they seemed to have really changed their service attitudes and check in ease for selling items. Before some of the buyers weren't very friendly and somewhat rude. The staff greeted all customers as they walked in and were very pleasant.

place smells. Dirty floors and gave me horrible allergies. Skin irritated and runny nose. They do not interact with you and the fitting rooms are small and crammed 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

This was such a demeaning experience. When i arrived i was so cheerful and tried to make small talk with the young lady with the curly hair and she was not responsive and barely glanced at me. I then stayed quiet and just kept to myself. Then another employee started to help another person on the selling waitlist and were having a pleasant conversation. Midway towards my selling experience the the employee helping me decides to finally start conversation, i guess she picked up on the pair next to us what real customer service looks like. At this point i just couldnt wrap my mind around why did it take her so long to engage with her customer and I just made short responses. I felt her stare at me for not continuing the conversation and yup once I glanced at her she was hard core staring at me. Just completely unprofessional. Also, i understand that they're selective and look for certain clothes or conditions but there were some styles that were literally identical to what the person next to me was selling and they did take theirs. The young lady helping me said that she did not take it cause it was worn out but the clothes that I actually wore the most are the ones she kept. And then the other employee told the one helping me to give my item a higher price than what she wanted to give me....Just take your stuff somewhere else to sell, it's really not worth your time, energy or money to deal with someone like that.
