I hate it when people make me act ugly. :( So, I need 2 cabinets. 2. My daughter & I went to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Memphis ReStore on Saturday. I found a set that would work. Problem was? It was $356 and change for 13 pieces. I needed 2, and they wouldnt just sell me 2. Okay, well, the secondary price was $285.33. Okay, no big deal, but I wanted to take a few days to think about it. I called in today, "hey is that set that was there on Saturday for $285.33 still there?" I could have honestly NOT cared whether they said "yes, but its $356", but thats not what they said. They said "Yes, $285.33 for 13 pieces". Now, I dont know WHAT I was going to do with 11 more pieces, but I could have sold them, re-donated them, or whatever, but I did need the 2 cabinets, so ok - it was cheaper than retail, a match for what I had - Good Deal right? Take my lunch, drive ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way to Winchester & Riverdale, and go in to buy the cabinets.... Id figure out how to get 13 pieces home later..... and Im then told that "oh no no no, they arent $285.33" - I figure ok Im prepared to pay $356. Oh no, the 3 that BOTH My daughter & I saw on Saturday? Yeah, that has MIRACULOUSLY changed to an 8. They want me to pay $856 for some used cabinets that someone DONATED to them. Ummmmmm, no. Although Ive heard great things from friends in other cities about their Habitat Restores, Ill never head back to the Restore in Memphis. Every single time Ive "tried" to go in there to possibly buy something and help out Habitat, they have their prices marked at or above NEW retail. Ive even seen items that I HAVE that they are asking more than what I originally paid for them NEW years before. I understand helping out, I understand volunteering, I do. Im just NOT going to get ripped off in order to do it. After reading charles review below, now Im even more disgusted.

My mom and I just recently put my grandmother in hospice and had to clean out her apartment. We wanted to donate the majority of her belongings and needed to clean out of her apartment ASAP. I put in a request to Habitat for Humanity to pick up the items and the following day I received a call to schedule a pick up. They werent able to do it as soon as we needed. I explained why we were donating the items and that I understood they werent able to pick everything up since it was so last minute. Not even 5 minutes later I received a call saying they had a cancelation and could do it right then. When I got there, two guys were already waiting to be let in the apartment. These two men (forgive me, I was overwhelmed and forgot names) were super fast and efficient. I can not thank Habitat enough for making a difficult situation go so smoothly.

I took my time taking out cabinets and tops so I could donate them. When I arrived at the store I was greeted by an older gentleman saying they had a hard time selling them and they would end up rhrowing them in the garbage. I felt like my donation was nothing more than an inconvenience. I gave them another chance and called to have them pick a furniture donation at my home. They said they couldnt come after five. I took off early, only to have them not show up for the appointment. When I calledo, there was no apology. They said they could reschedule for another day, but they would not be making any more pick ups that day. No apology for not calling to let me know they would not be there either. In the future I will donate to an organization that actually appreciates donations and doesnt see them as an inconvenience.

Hey everybody. Here is my review of Habitat for Humanity. A wonderful charity that does so much good but kind of difficult to make donations. They sent me a gifts in kind link but as my donation was more than $5,000.00 they explained that I would need to obtain an appraisal. A representative did recommend The St. Lucie Appraisal Company who was able to use my list of donated items to prepare the personal property appraisal I needed. They also completed the necessary IRS Form 8283. I highly recommend Habitat for Humanity. Call The St. Lucie Appraisal Company if your donation exceeds $5,000.00.

Starting out they were well priced and you could find some good deals. Over time they have started to raise prices or try to use eBay as a guide for prices when in reality they are overpriced. Ive found some good deals and go often. Id recommend finding them on Facebook as they post photos of the stuff every week.

Well the store was nice and the people where nice. But they have this black man who drives his truck and makes the deliveries... He was suppose to deliver my couch at 1 but here it is almost 5:30 and he keep saying hes on the way. I will shop at the store again but Ill never use his services again!!
