Some of the ladies in this store are really lovely. Some are incredibly rude. The manager is particularly abrasive. There is an attitude of being a high-end secondhand shop, when in reality it is supposed to be an op shop that supports a good cause. The pricing is ridiculous ($12 for old glass jars, $25 for a dress and $20 for someone’s old shoes) and the ‘justification’ is really poor. If you question, they will snap “it’s retro!” “it’s designer” (when it’s from glassons.) While there is a chance to find the odd treasure I’d generally just skip this shop.
Wow, awesome op shop, I have shopped in Op shops all over NZ and Aussy, the Whangamata Op shop is the best I have been in.
The staff are wonderful and a huge help, the shop is a credit to all the staff and manager.
The stock is clean and of a very high calibre, where eles can you buy genuine Italian leather handbags for $20.00. The staff tell me that all proceeds stay within the community, rock on Whangamata Op Shop.
The manager’s abrasive? I found her extremely pleasant and helpful. As were any of the staff I spoke too. I’ve always found that you get back what you put out. Maybe not everyone’s noticed that yet.
Dunno about the values but Vel probably has much more discerning taste than I do. I do know that I was DELIGHTED with the purchase I made. And it was nice and clean 🙂
$15 for on old dress w/ pit stains lol! I reckon Catt works for this shop b/c nobody would ever say its the best shop in nz and aussy LOL are you joking!!! Italian leather or not the bags are donated and shouldnt ever be 20 its an op shop not a secondhand shop. Yeah its mostly clean and lots of the ladys are lovely but the people talking it up are just doing damage control and stopping the reviews from being honest. Maybe they could actually listen to people and make changes and it might get better?? The other op shop is wayyyy better lol.
