Sue Ryder Arvostelua 

Used to be so a good shop, but now the prices are just crazy. Barbour top £9, Barbour cardigan from £20, picture £40. Primark, New look brands from £4 onwards. If you will find a nice designer piece, do not get excited, please, PLEASE PLEASE check the item accurately. All of them are damaged. Stained, ripped, with holes. If you show the damage to the shop assistants they just do not care.

WHOA! what a piece of toast....so rude and obnoxious they make free money with donations and volunteers and have an attitude as well! Not only this, they pull the prices up after sizing people up, if you have an accent you pay more even though the items are priced or not priced or the tag has come undone or whatever nonsense they say...good cause yeah right rip off as they please more likely welcome to the charity shop planet of greed...Hey manager girl from Lboro clean that shop aint you get any half bottles of cleaning agent??

I am happy with my purchase. I bought a nice dressing table with mirrored drawers. I was a bit nervous about it as reviews on here are not great.
It was delivered within two days via DPD and item is great. It was bought on sale , but brand new. It has a little damage on one of the boards but nothing extremely visible.

Staff at the Dundrum branch Dublin are So Rude they speak to you as if you are Dirt.
If only Nice Friendly Helpful people would work for the store it would be a joy to visit.

If I could give these clowns zero I would.

Offered them a near perfect item, sent them photos and they accepted the offer. I got up at 6.30a.m to make sure I, and the item, was available.

When the driver turned up, he said he couldn't take it because it had one tiny, and I mean tiny, very faint mark on it.

What do they want for free?

No reflection on the driver, he was very apologetic but said he'd "get into trouble" if he took the item.

If you want your time wasted, I'd highly recommend interacting with these clowns. Otherwise, avoid.

I bought some cups & saucers from this shop in August. My fault for not checking and the ticket said 2 were damaged. When I got them home, 5 cups were damaged and the plates were missing. I rang up to speak to an assistant and was rudely dealt with. Whenever I go in this shop, they are always having a go about someone of something in a loud voice. Their service is appalling. But to be ripped off so openly is another step. I wrote to the Head Office to express my disappointment. They said someone would get back to me which of course they did not. This was August. Avoid this branch at all cost. If you are raising money for charity, you still have obligations.

Evasive Manager at Farnham shop.
Booked online donation of 3 seater sofa 2 weeks ago and unfortunately today when it was meant to be picked up,no one came to collect.
On speaking to the Manager at the Farnham store this afternoon she insisted that there was no booking logged. I had a screen shot of booking and l presume there was an error after l had booked, technical or human.
Rescheduled another collection date for Saturday and attached photos as requested.
This afternoon received a call from the Manager to say that slot wasn’t available and would have to wait another 3 weeks, not a problem.
Then she decided to be honest and said the sofa was old fashioned and not what she felt would sell.
Ok, l’m not offended the furniture belongs to my 93 year old father who has just been discharged from hospital and needs to downsize.
Instead of being evasive and not honest with me she has wasted my time and hers. This individual needs to be trained in communicating in a honest and truthful manner.

Went to Sue Ryder charity shop in Banbury, Warwick rd.
Jackie the manager was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Jackie clearly values her customer care and was very proud of the shop.
Myself and my friend had travelled from South Wales for a camping trip and often seek out Sue Ryder charity shops in the area. We were not disappointed.
Many little finds were had and it was a pleasurable experience browsing the products which were clean and cared for.

Thank you, we hope to be back next year!

Hello to all,
Our Market Drayton shop is absolutely tops!
I am disappointed by those who feel the need to write bad reviews about other shops. Remember folks that you are supporting a CHARITY. You should give as much cash as you can for items even if you suppose they are cheaper elsewhere. Also remember that staff are VOLUNTEERS. They are entitled to be a little grumpy now and then.
Lets all show a little charity!!!!!

Absolutely appalling on line ordering system & customer service back up.

I've just spent the good part of an hour trying to order an item.

It took SIX attempts for the payment to be processed & the helpline was a joke - a recorded message disconnected immediately after requesting me to send an email.

On my final attempt, I forgot to add a donation but c'est la vie, the experience has put me in such a foul mood that I'm not feeling particularly charitable at the moment & I certainly hope I never have to use this service again.

Pah!

I popped into nuneaton store and what a great store, everything £1 except new goods, friendly staff and very welcoming

Following the death of my mum, I needed to empty her house - Sue Ryder were professional, polite, and really good at letting me know when they were coming and also who they would send in advance - can't fault them. Thank you for making something that could have been distressing straight forward

I very rarely feel the need to complain about things, but I and my sister in law recently visited Sue Ryder in Saltash in Cornwall, we had spent all morning quietly sorting out things as I am downsizing my accommodation, I have also recently been diagnosed with a heart condition, so was not wanting to rush. Having checked opening time's on the website we drove to the store, outside the store was a sign saying donations accepted whenever the store is open, we did also ask a lovely young volunteer within the store if it was ok to bring things in, she explained that they encourage people to bring donations in the morning, but as we were there we could leave our offerings there this time.
I took one of the trolleys, loaded it up and took it to the back room and started to unload, whereupon an older woman said very loudly" did anyone tell you that you could bring that in here?" I informed her that we had been told we could - I then received a very unfriendly lecture on how it was not convenient for them at that time and we needed to bring it back another time. After some discussion she reluctantly agreed to keep the donations I had already unloaded, but my sister in law was instructed to take her trolley back out and we had to put the rest back in the car.
We left and went to Banardos who were very welcoming and grateful- certainly know where I will frequent in the future!

The worst customer service I have experienced in charity shop which is based 9, Portswood Centre, Portswood Rd, Portswood, Southampton
I just can not believe each time Im coming to this shop I have never been acknowledged or welcomed.
All I can see is Manager with 2 other employees sat on the sofa drinking tea or coffee chatting and gossiping .
No one ever offered a help.
How come the Manager still keeps her job?
When you ask for assistance as things are located so high you cant easily reach but they are busy chatting and gossiping on the sofas which are in the shop for sale.They are unpleasant, rude and arrogant.Clearly too many people " working" there as they seem really bored.
How come the Manager kept her job for whole this time as in place like this you would expect friendly and helpful staff. This place is the worst shop amongst Portswood charity shops. I wonder if the Manager of this shop working there for punishment?
As the person who replied to me from Sue Ryder claimed that it wasn't clear which charity shop I wrote review of I provided an exact address.There is only one Sue Ryder charity shop in Portswood Southampton so there should not be any doubt which shop I have mentioned.
Also I have receipts from that shop as proof, as I have shopped there before and had similar experience so Im hoping I gave enough evidence this time and my review won't be flagged and removed from this platform.
Thank you.

Went into the Finchley/Ballard’s Lane with a large sack of wooden toy donations. Two shopkeepers saw me as I walked in and proceeded to walk in the opposite direction.

I thought it was a bit odd, but waited until one of them returned, greeted her and happily handed over the sack explaining they were all individually packed inside for ease. The woman didn’t say hello back, took the sack, turned around and walked away with it without any type of response. I thanked her for her troubles and still not a word.

I appreciate it was an hour from closing and the job is a demanding one, but I walked out having thanked someone for allowing me to donate with not even a hello in return. I wasn’t expecting masses of appreciation at all, but acknowledgement of our interaction is warranted.

Not sure it’ll be my first stop on the high street in future!

Dear Sue Ryder (Shinfield Road, Reading),

Just a quick note to thank Davina who was lovely, charming, and commercially astute since she encouraged me to buy some lottery tickets after I had delivered a few items!

Regards,

Ian

The two chaps who turned up( a bit earlier than I had expected) were efficient, courteous and took items other than those I had listed. Thank you.

I contacted Sue Ryder as I had several items of furniture to donate from my mother’s house, as she had recently gone into a care home. The furniture was in good condition and perfectly saleable. I sent photographs of the items beforehand as well. When the collection company arrived I was told that three of the five items had been declined by the shop. According to the collection company this is a common occurrence?! The shop didn’t have the basic courtesy to notify me of this beforehand (which apparently they are supposed to do) this was incredibly frustrating as I was obliged to drag the heavy furniture down from upstairs for them to collect. So I was left with three items of furniture I now have to find a home for. This is doubly irritating as I had previously turned down an offer from someone else for these items in the belief Sue Ryder would take them. I don’t think I’ll be donating to them again any time soon. All in all a very frustrating outcome.

A cute little shop with lovely employees. The clothes are very cheap and the antiques are adorable <3

The worst charity ever!! They let me down so badly! They have no idea how to treat donors!!!i bookednonlibe uploaded pictures of furniture I wanted to date and they confirmed the were coming and when drivers turned up told me that they had been told not to accept my furniture!!! BUT at no point did they think it would be right to inform the donor that all furniture pieces would not be picked up. I even cancelled another charity due to pick up the following day . It is a disgrace how they treat people who want to give for a good cause. Then why did I go through trouble to take pictures of everything uploading them and confirming they are coming only to be told they would not accept any of it . So so rude Do Not give to them
