Anglicare Op Shops - Villawood (Factory Outlet)

"Visited on the 04/07/2023 This op shop is very confusing I must say. Not everything is priced especially the bric-a-brac items, so we have to ask the staff how much everything is. This isn't helpful for them as they're busy and they got annoyed with us. Also for some items be prepared to pay full eBay or pawn shop pricing. Which is very sad to see in a op shop. I get they need to pay for the rent and utilities but at the end of the day it's a charity for giving to people in need especially in a lower socio economic community. I only recommend going here if you like purchasing everything in bulk and paying eBay and pawn shop pricing."

"This place is mainly for second hand clothing where you need to be prepared to sift and sort through huge bales of clothing. You don't pay for each item but total selected clothing is weighed. It is a matter of trying to find treasure and if you persist and go early there are plenty of treasures to find. I have found some pretty good items with high end brand names. They sell big bags of Lego and toys and sometimes you can land a bargain in the bric n brac section."

"I wouldn’t bother going here if you’re after clothes. They are all in massive bins that you have to rummage in, and hard to tell how they’ve classified them. So pretty impossible to find anything. None of the books have prices that I could see. Not much staff there to ask questions."

"Friendly staff, huge quantity of items (be ready to rummage!), on site parking, all monies raised go to find Anglicare’s community services work, and they even sell affordable kitchen pantry items - what’s not to love!"

"As it is called outlet/headquarter, so I have thought it is a bigger shop with greater variety. However, the majority of items are large quantities of clothes items paled up in giant containers. I would say, it takes some luck and time to get what you need to look for. Staff are not as attentive as other Anglicare retail shops. However, if you are looking for really cheap clothes, shoes and some household items, there is an decent chance that you can get some luck."
