GoodwillToo.com - Online Thrift Store Shopping for a Cause

Goodwill brick-and-mortar stores have been a charitable organization for a long time, and in recent years, re-branding themselves as less of a donation center, and more of a quality thrift shopping experience. With a mixture of both donated and gently used items, also had attracted a number of retailers and wholesalers donating new merchandise that had gone unsold in stores like LL Bean and Macys, among others. These retailers also got a beneficial tax break while helping the Goodwill organization raise money for a variety of causes.

Now, GoodwillToo.com is an online store for savvy shoppers looking for some steals and deals, primarily offering new merchandise, but you may find a special one-of-a-kind item donated to the stores as well. Goodwill Too has this to say about the online shopping experience:

Goodwill Too is an online Goodwill store with a difference. Where the traditional Goodwill store offers mostly donated goods, Goodwill Too offers its customers mostly brand new merchandise (often closeouts and other similar purchases, keeping costs down), with a scattering of gently used merchandise. Our merchandise is categorized and we have a category called "Gently Used Merchandise" where the majority of our donated items are kept. We also mark our donated items "-Donated-" so customers can distinguish these items from the brand new merchandise.

Goodwill Too, at present, offers flat-fee shipping on its orders, with standard shipping costing only $7.99 for any order weighing up to 150 lbs (actual or dimensional weight). We only ship to U.S. destinations, however, including Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. territories, and we only accept U.S. currency in payment. At this time, all purchases are processed through PayPal. One does not have to have a PayPal account to make a purchase.
