Nice staff, large and better prices than the other stores. This one has furniture down the back. Back today and lots of nice items

Love browsing this store. Found two dining chairs which I have been looking for to compliment our existing ones. Staff was pleasant, cheerful and very helpful bunch as always.

Great Salvo’s shop. Good range of men’s and women’s clothing,hung in sizes so easy to find, good furniture,all sorts of household goods, great array of glassware, and parking on site.

This is a great store with a great team. I volunteered with them for a year but now moving interstate. I was open to going back in future. A great place to shop and also a great place to volunteer if you have time to kill or need to get hours signed off. They always need volunteers.

Usually a good selection of items and a large store. Sometimes the clothing racks are too jam packed, but you can get a bargain on most visits.

This is a very large store with a great range of furniture, clothing, books and bric a brac. You can spend a good hour or two in this store just browsing. There a good number of staff that are only to willing to help you. The prices are affordable with so much to choose from is amazing

At the risk of giving away my hard-earned op-shop secrets, Kings Park Salvo’s should be at the very top of your thrifting list – especially if you’re hunting for furniture or homewares! Parking is a bit tricky, as the single-lane driveway is narrow & can be quite challenging to manoeuvre/turn in if there’s more than a few cars parked. Once you’re in though, the staff are welcoming & friendly and there’s always someone on hand to help you lift your latest furniture acquisition into your car. I never come away empty-handed, as everything is fairly priced….unlike certain other Salvo’s stores (looking at you Mt Barker & Noarlunga, which are priced like vintage/antique stores!) Someone was complaining below about having to drag their pram up 2 steps at the front – but there’s actually a very wide disabled entrance at the side, so if you have mobility issues or have a pram don’t be discouraged by that review! Try and go during the week if you can, to avoid having to practice your 30-point turn skills to get out of the carpark

Bought a queen size bed frame from here but the customer service was very disappointing not one of the employees of this place helped or asking do you need a hand carrying the bed frame we bought. Could be they racist to my husband and we went home we saw there were holes like for leg stands on the legs of the bed frame, my husband said to me to call and ask about the legs stand does it included or not, however they not sure or don’t understand what I’m talking about, there supposed to have something for the hole. If there not any never mind. I added the picture about the hole on the bed frame I’m talking about. I won’t go here prefer going somewhere else.

Good service, friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. I picked up some great bargains.

I’ve been in this beautiful country for almost two years, and this is the first time I’ve experienced favoritism. When I walked into the store, I smiled twice at a young lady (mid or last twenties) with short hair, but she didn’t smile back. I thought maybe she didn’t see me

After finishing my shopping, I went to the cashier to pay. I saw the same lady smiling and speaking very kindly to an Ausi customer before me, which made me second guess her earlier reaction. But when it was my turn, I smiled again and said, ‘hi,’ only to be ignored once more. She didn’t say a word, scanned my items quickly, and threw the clothes toward me like they were trash

I understand people can have bad days, but it hurt to be treated so differently, especially when I saw her being so kind to the person before me. I’ve always thought of the Salvation Army as a place that spreads kindness, but this experience was the most disrespectful I’ve ever had

The lady at the counter was beyond unpleasant. I pop by to drop some items off but she rather acted as if I were bothering her or she was doing me a favour. Incredibly rude & with a terrible attitude.

This happened on Sat morning 7th of Dec, if I were the manager I’d want to know if my staff were treating customers in such way.

Thanks

The parking sign…”authorised vehicles only…others towed away” certainly deterred me from shopping at salvos. Apparently the problem is fitness customers from next door. The sign should read..”Salvos customers only”..

Fairly decent prices
Friendly staff
Some bargains still can be found

I think this place is a joke. When we saw the prices my jaw dropped… Some old (not cool vintage) wedding dress was $800, broken picture frames $15 , jumpsuit I found was $70… Are you for real? Kmart is much cheaper than this joke.

One of the best organised opportunity shops in Adelaide, wide range of second hand goods from clothes to books and bric a brace also sells new mattresses at very affordable prices, we come back here annually never know what bargains you will find. Store staff are very friendly and happy to have a chat.

Well laid out with friendly staff. There is a loyalty program available

Out of all the servos this was one of my least favorite as far as service , quality and price

Lots & lots clothes, books, shoes & toys etc. Interesting to have a look into.

This has to be the best Salvos shop ever. The kindest, friendliest, loveliest people work here. The prices are fantastic . It’s such a pleasure to know you are going to be greeted by big smiles & big hearts. Love these guys xx Laura Lindy Elvira Sharon & Dylan . Hope I haven’t missed anyone cos you’re ALL wonderful

Went to salvos at Modbury and all I heard were people in a side room with the door open bitching in a loud voice about other volunteers that I’m supposing werent there that day. It was a terrible atmosphere to browse in so I just left. Wont go back either

Wow what a great store! Very clean and tidy, staff are very fair and knowledgeable on prices. Would like to mention staff member Ada. She was very friendly and welcoming she gives the place alot of positive energy.
Will definitely return

One of the best in Adelaide, all items are organised and priced well, lots of new stock all the time, a bit of everything, and I always find designer gems here. The guys that work here are so lovely and kind. Keep up the great work ❤️

Very friendly and helpful staff lots of nice stuff, but can be very expensive on some things, especially when they get it for free. $150 on a hallway runner and not that long only a short one as I need one, puls a big rug for a big open space lounge room. And don’t hove that kind of money. As on a DSP

Best salvos store i’ve been to in Adelaide!! Cute setup and well organized!! I love it^^

Prices are ridiculous, shop very outdated needs a freshen up. Staff friendly. Has a dirty feel to everything.

A great second hand shop with a great variety of clothing and homewards.

A bit expensive but felt homey. Lots of granny’s

So helpful. Not dismissive like another charity. Salvos could quickly assess what could be sold on and what would be useful for a person in need. Staff were kind and professional.

Thanks Salvos Port Adelaide for sending this lovely Esprit jacket. Gently used condition & looks great with jeans. Only $15 – ordered 16/6 & received interstate 20 June

Ordered a pair of Peter Alexander Floral Pink Shorts online. Perfect condition and great price. Can’t wait for summer to wear them!

Good size store with lots of stock. Quite a large range of men’s and ladies clothing. We had a good wander around the store and bought some bric a brac. The customer service was good. Would visit more often if this op Op shop was in our area.

Large store well set out & lovely staff

quality of clothing isn’t that great, even when you find a good label it looks terrible because it’s so crushed up. i rarely find something to buy in this store.
all of the staff that have served me have been friendly

Friendly service and some of the clothing is reasonably priced.

Worth a look, every now and then you get lucky and find decent items. Prices are usually negotiable as well which is nice.

Friendly customer service. There are some interesting customers that I’ve seen here expecting 10/10 service and then Karen out at volunteers but I’ve never had an issue.

Friendly staff found some great DVDs and books.

I go to a lot of op shops and from today’s visit to this one, I can say that it has the friendliest staff you would find. Very welcoming and they had a smile on their faces like they actually enjoy working there.

2 stars because, at first everything was fine, I went to the store to see some kitchen things, etc., suddenly an old woman who worked there followed me and kept her eye on me, I thought I was going to steal something or something like that, I I felt very uncomfortable and bad, there are good staff except the old spy woman.

I was disappointed in this store. The level of customer service is not ok. I heard the clerks whispering on two occasions and both times when I looked over at them they were looking at me and shut up immediately when they noticed me looking. It was uncomfortable, unprofessional and plain strange.

Sincerely it’s terrible management, they think it’s David jones we can’t afford nothing in the store. So expensive and the staff are so rude and unhelpful I was to get a table in store with price on not display or something soon as she saw me taking they removed the tag telling to me it’s not for sale. Very racist. Unhelpful and unfair to us and to people who help with things to help community and poor people.

Lots of great items and well stocked with quality clothes. Clothes are laid out in sizes which makes things easy to find. Staff are very friendly and greet you at the door.

My first time in here, I was surprised at the stuff they had in here. Some vintage stuff can be found here, as well as sporting items too. Worth a visit.

On the fence. I am an op shop fanatic but the phrase that sprang to mind after I hit the “review” button was, “more style than substance”. The staff seemed nice. I suspect they’re carefully curating what they sell (probably take great pride in it) and I don’t doubt if you’re a size 8 or 10 you could pick up something terrific. If you’re not, good luck. Then again, you never know what you’ll find on any given day. And it is a quirky little shop.

This shop has really great clothes for dirt cheap. So youre getting good vlothes to wear while spending a lot less while also saying puppies? Tell me a better deal.seriously…..i went to their other outlet all the way in mawson lakes because i wanted to check out some morw clothes there. There I found the jacket i frequently wear now. Check the shop out and thanks me later

Wow! I have never been to an op shop with such a great range of quality clothes! Even better was the fact they had sizes to fit me (12-14). And bonus, they had a 50% sale on everything, making their affordable clothes even more enticing! The team was super kind and friendly from the moment we entered. I walked out with a bag packed to the brim with new clothes, many of which still had original tags on too! I’ll be back the next time I’m in Adelaide.

Curated high quality preloved clothes for a good cause. Staff seemed a bit abrupt but trying to be friendly.

Great little Op Shop stocking just about everything except electrical and the kitchen sink! Lots of items on sale such as bric-a-brac,books,men and women’s clothing,shoes,etc and you will always find something special whilst also supporting a
worthwhile charity! I always find it a fascinating place to explore,and they surprisingly sell a lot of designer wear at ridiculously low prices, too good to be true! Interestingly there’s also a good range of jewellery to choose from! It’s fast becoming a popular shop that won’t cost you the earth for whatever you choose to buy and you can always donate your pre-loved clothing and goods too, proceeds going to a worthy cause! It’s truly amazing what you’re lucky enough to find here, Lucy and her team of volunteers are friendly to deal with too! Open 7days.

The heavy set lady with tattoos is super unreasonable and rude. She stole my friend’s clothes and sold them. Was instantly standoffish when I asked a simple question about getting the clothes back. Will not be supporting this op shop again when there are many more with lovely staff and that don’t have people scamming and stealing.

I have been visiting this store across a number of years, it is one of the best op shops around Adelaide. The store is very upscale, wooden floors, tall ceilings, vintage upstairs (so hard to come by in an op shop), fantastic quality items and lovely staff. The staff have created such a positive experience being so friendly and helpful, a big shout out to Chloe and Caroline who are an asset to Red Cross!

The interior design and the arrangement alone deserves a 5 star rating. This is the best looking second hand store I remember ever visiting. Great Red Cross theme and very well organized areas. Stylish and unique pieces! Not the cheapest but certainly a treasure trove for people looking for something more unique. Even the books are organized by topic. They also have very nice porcelain and Glasware! Make sure to also visit the upstairs area.

I’ve found some really cool pieces from here in the last 6 years! Easily my favourite op shop in Adelaide! Reasonably priced too. I’ve always had the best shopping experience here. Shout out to Chloe, Dom and Suzie for the best service ever!

Need to get some consistency with customer service and volunteers in the store, not just people who are helping out for their Visa application points. Your goods are donated, it’s not eBay and it’s not Myer or a boutique. You cannot receive something that is clearly second hand and Google it and decide that a 100% polyester scarf that is pilling is $10.00. That’s ridiculous. It’s only acceptable if the item is in excellent condition.

The most beautiful op shop in Adelaide. I always find some of the coolest pieces here especially jewellery. There’s a little something for everyone. Chloe, Dom and Susie are the best!♥️

I just love this shop, the layout is great with the racks colour blocked. So easy to find what you are looking for. The staff are so friendly and willing to help at all times. It is my go to store with reasonable prices.

Expensive but makes sense with location. Found some great books. Def have a look while waiting for your movie at palace nova

Funky, bright and vibrant! This Vinnes has a little extra flair. Items are still quite pricey, but some fun things are definitely to be found.

The ladies that work in this store are so helpful, beautiful and genuinely caring. The stock is turned over quickly and there is always new and interesting pieces, especially in the jewellery section. Everything is priced realistically and the shop is always well organised and kept nice and tidy. One of Adelaide’s best. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice op shop with great finds to be found. absolutely floored with the beautiful kookai zip up i found for only 8$. i expressed these emotions at the checkout, that excitement was later dismissed as the lady behind counter added that i was able to “find the same thing at kmart”. i was immediately taken aback and slightly embarrassed. I felt as if my excitement had been suppressed. don’t dim other people’s flames to make yours bigger.

Vinnie’s had a 50% off dresses sale today. I tried to buy a dress with the sale and the storeperson claimed the item was a top not a dress, despite my telling her I had tried it on and it was clearly a dress. The storeperson refused to honor the 50% off dresses signage posted all over the shop and claimed it was not a dress because held up against her it landed at waist height. The dress was not her size, which is why it landed at waist height. I felt awkward about stating this for obvious reasons and left the interaction there.
In case there was any doubt, looking up the item online, the brand has labelled the item as the “[BRAND] Woman Aztec Print Fringe Multicolored Midi Dress”. It was a dress.
The exchange was overall unpleasant and unnecessary, and I do not recommend this store to others.

Well presented store with good quality items. I thought the prices were reasonable given it’s location. However, 2/3 of the staff were enough to make me not want to visit again. One person *literally followed us around the store*, not commenting or offering assistance, just staring. It was unnerving. If you need things to occupy your time, speak to your manager but don’t follow people around. And the other person, who I suspect was the manager, was very cold – she was straightening the racks and I lightheartedly apologised that I was just about to go through that rack and “try not to mess it up” and she just looked at me. Only the young woman behind the counter was friendly and helpful.

Very friendly staff,great range of retro gear.
Store manager bright and sunny.

Dina the Store Manager is an absolute gem. Always so helpful and lovely to deal with. She understands the art of customer service. A very rare breed.
