Red Cross Shop Canberra

Very clean shop and friendly volunteers.

Very overpriced- some things selling more than new but very neat shop

Australian Red Cross is a well known and respected organization that needs no introduction and amongst its many voluntary initiatives - Op Shops managed by dedicated volunteers

Love the shop; I bring all my donations here as I love to support a good organisation who genuinely helps society; most staff members are very grateful and friendly.Nice place to shop on occasion aswell, although price randomness is bewildering; some things are crazily cheap but many things are very expensive and that's fine if new or near new but I refer to things clearly well-worn selling for $30 etc; this would be offputting for a lot of people;just one other thing would be great: not everybody celebrates Christmas so if staff could remember and be mindful to not make assumptions and wish customers/donors a merry christmas it would be respectful and much appreciated; obviously the intention is good but it's time society as a whole acknowledged diversity.

Visited in February 2022. As other reviewers have commented, the store is terribly overpriced. The volunteers lack the expertise to price accurately - stained u0026 torn garments were on the floor for $15 u0026 $30 respectively. Additionally, there appears to be a distinctively hierarchical structure to the volunteer staff (as evidenced by the conversations held in full earshot of the public). Although I got a few good things, I won't return in a hurry.

Toddler shorts are ten dollars and clothing your children here will cost twice the cost of buying brand new. Op shops used to serve the community and be a place you could give your stuff with some life left in them so someone else in the community could use them. Now common people can't afford to buy second hand and have no choice but to buy brand new items and because red Cross aren't selling anything to common people they don't have the space to accept donations and common folk have to throw their bought brand new items into the garbage. There's no throughput. It's just a big stagnant hole that drives people to generate garbage on a dying planet.

I called to volunteer, the lady on the call responded unapologetically.. I am giving 5 star because this organisation helped me during covid

Red Cross stores are great places to shop. The people that work there are friendly. A wonderful organisation for those looking for volunteering opportunities.
