Reviews of Habitat For Humanity Victoria ReStore - Uptown (Scrap Yards)

Paul Considine

I love habitat for humanity as it's a great place to find bits and bobs for around the house. I would give it a five stars, but I find the prices a little on the high side compared to what it was at the store 2 years ago. Like many of the second hand or thrift stores, they all come in at a low starting price point to get people hooked, then raise the prices to what the market will bare. There are many places these days to find used items, so I've been weaning off going there as frequently as I used to. In the end, if I don't find anything while there, I always come out feeling that it wasn't a waste of time because of the great staff.

Vaughn Smith

Very thankful for their service.

Gwil Roberts

OK assortment of stuff. The good stuff disappears quick though.

Phoebe

Super cool furniture and household products at fantastic prices. I love checking it out whenever I've got a project in mind and always recommend when friends are looking to furnish their homes. I've loved everything I've gotten from here, great staff too!

Patrick Sekida

Great place for used/new construction items for home repairs. Flooring, furniture, lighting etc etc

Kyle Gilmar

Not a fan of leaving a negative review for this place, but at this time, do not trust their webstore. Placed an order for items on the webstore, no confirmation email or receipt, money was taken, but the site said I could come pick up the following day. When I went to the store, nobody had any idea of what was going on. It took two days for them to figure out that the items I purchased on the webstore weren't even available. I've purchased many tools there, though, and had good experiences, so trust what is in the store, not what is online, until they fix it.

Giulio Mari

Loretta Paterson

Debbie Overton

Treasure hunters Paradise

Stan Haner

High end used furniture and household items change daily

Jordan Brackett

Great place to get inexpensive furniture, tools hardware and many other household goods while supporting a great charity!

Murray Stone

This is a great place for all kinds of unexpected bargains, although the used furniture prices are a little higher than at some thrift stores.

Llweyn Friars

Lots of items for DIY or furnishings, home repairs or changes. Profits goes to the charity and their home building concept.

sdkonkle

Great spot to stop in if you are doing some work around the house.

Andrew Kim

Good price and used one

Stephen DUSTY Roberts

A wonderful organization!

Anthony Lima

I always manage to find some awesome treasure...

Brian Green

I understand that they are a charity raising funds but some of their pricing is higher than retail or online used websites. Having said that pretty good for finding older reno stuff

Chris Smythe

Cool

Tiffany Jacobson

Wonderful store

Russell Redcloud

Kind of like a builders thrift store..can get items like cupboards,paint,older furniture,flooring ect

Finn

Fantastic place with fantastic people. Especially on student sales, you can get anything for a cheap trick. If you're a handy individual then making these steals like new to use is a bonus!

Chris Boonar

So much goodness!

Patrick Coble

Great place for finding fasteners, old tools and odd building supplies.

Paco Klein (MadnessInBloom)

Great store for building supplies, furniture etc.

Mustafa Farah

Decent price but not much stuff.

Louise Ashtree Academics & Mediation

New used items almost daily. Average quality items donated-rarely anything upscale, prices can really vary-some items underpriced and some items priced too high ... No bartering. Generally well organised. Flooring, kitchen appliances, some furnishings like desks, sofas, chairs, tables, mirrors, framed prints, lamps and shades, hardware, paint and supplies, cabinets... Outdoor items. Merchandise really varies. Staff generally friendly and helpful. Good cause!

James Howard

Found the dresser I've been looking for!

Mel B

This place will take all of your old building supplies and appliances

Paul Blood

Good parking, very helpful staff.

Catherine Novak

Everything you need for the home, from wiring to windows to dishes to crystals for your chandelier

Derek Roberts

Really useful place to get previously donated housing hardware and furniture.

I have a small residential Contracting business for General repairs and upgrades. I go here at least once a week to check on availability of tools and for supplies for my clients. This is a not-for-profit re-sale outlet that accepts donations to be sold for Habitat for Humanity's building program. It's amazing the range of goods sold here: from books on every subject to CDs, used furniture of all times, building supplies such as tiles, numerals in metal & plastic, area rugs, even boxes of laminate flooring. It's important to go once or twice a week if you're seriously looking for great buys. I recently purchased a heavy duty 2.5" air-powered nailer which retails for more than $200; my cost for a nearly new one was $65!

We have shopped and dropped off at the 2 locations in Victoria. The staff are always helpful and the selection changes daily.

Jude (seaDrake)

Lots of great household 'stuff' not just furniture; good prices; helpful staff.

Greg Krantz

Some pretty good deals.

Shane Hansen

Great place for tools and deals

Kathrin Lake

Great. Love all restores.

Nicole Canuel

Best prices for a used good store!

Robin van G

sometimes I think the price for a used item is on the high side, and they only took one thing from us when we were moving last year. that said, if they have what you need, it's great to not have to buy new.

Joseph Yeo

Good people , great prices

Darren Lyster

Good place knowledgeable staff

April Gilliland

Great prices on basic supplies for a renovation, but household goods seemed a little on the expensive side for used. It is for a good cause though.

Shana Sylvester

Great quality items & very reasonable prices :)

Andrea McLeod

Great place to find new and used items for your home renovations. Very helpful and friendly staff!

Tanis Abuda

Hard to find the location.

Sandy Kerr

Lots of good, cheap new and used household hardware and building materials. Friendly helpful staff and purchases help support a worthy cause in an environmentally friendly way!

Shawna T

Such a great place to find household items!

Derek & Joanne Pinto

Handy place to meet a need. I find the prices a little on the high side but it's going toward a good cause. The staff are helpful

Christopher Kennedy

Good selection of reclaimed household fixtures for remodelling. Selection of new items such as light switches. Used furniture looked like remnants of the 70's. Or 80's.

Philip Thompson

I have made several purchases here. Mostly, the prices were not what I would call a real deal. However, if you want to donate to a worthy cause, Restore is a good start. For example, if you need just a few square feet of brand new tile, or even brand new lighting, you might find it here, comparatively inexpensive. Contractors often dispose of surplus stuff at Restore. I once purchased a used tool which broke the first time I used it. Next time I was in the store, I was abruptly told that there is a strict 'no returns policy'. I have donated quite a bit of stuff as well. I think of my donations as a small way to help some deserving family get a break into becoming home owners. All in all, I recommend Restore.

Johanna Palmer

I enjoy shopping salvage always surprises

LadyBaws aka BOSS

Awesome selection, knowledgeable staff and great prices

Darren Laberee

Need to make regular visit as the stock changes all the time. Great deals to be had

Malcolm Howard

Awesome place to buy used building supplies or to donate any tools or other building stuff from around the house.

Jon Woodland

Great place to find bargains for your home.

Helen Graham

I volunteer there once a week..just love it.

Scott Freeburn

This place is incredible for finding all sorts of materials! Awesome contribution to charity as well.

Cliff Bentham

Good used articles at a great price

Alberto Galleguillos

Lots of cheap stuff

Mike S

Compared to the Langford location, this one has a very poor selection of items to look at and many overpriced for the condition they are in. Suggest making the trip out there

Jeffery Will

There is a lot of usable things, there is also a lot of junk, it's nice to stores donating some of the overstock items

Annette Michalik

Love love love this place is so relaxing.

Michael Moore

It's basically a builder's thrift shop that benefits the downtrodden. New/used stock changes every day

david smith

The variety is pretty eclectic. The prices are very fair. I missed out on a couple of good deals but that's life. A great place to shop that is doing great things for the community!

Alan Keser

Great place for second hand hardware , home improvement materials and supplies.

Selena Henderson

If you do not have a high income but would still like your home to look nice I recommend this place. I went in by chance one day looking for a bike to ride to work and I actually found one at a easily affordable price. The furniture looks well kept and the shelves are stocked in an orderly fashion, unlike stores run in a similar manor.

West Coast Ghost Crew

I find their prices a bit high for a place where everything's donated

Jeffrey Kosar

Used stuff

Riddle Pond

Great idea, but lacking knowledge about products and pricing at this location. (Some used items are mark more expensive than new at home depot.)

Raven Stierle

Lot of odds and ends, found some cool stuff there. Regularly have sales on furniture. Got a pretty nice dresser for 50% off, def a score.

Smokus Cat

They do not keep their word. You don't want to depend on these people for anything.

Tom Kile

A good place to donate things when renovating. A good place to shop inexpensively

Eric Andersen

Some great items for a good price.
