Sourcing Our Stock: Discover How Our Thrift Store Thrives!
A common question we're usually asked is 'where do we find our stock'? Well, to save everybody the hassle of emailing us, we thought we'd write a blog post that reveals all!
To put it simply, we source our stock from everywhere. We accept items from anybody who is willing to donate, and are extremely thankful for having the support of so many thoughtful individuals.
In addition to donations, we also collect unwanted stock from local charity stores. Believe it or not, many charity stores have to adhere to certain standards when choosing what donations to sell. Any items that are slightly damaged, creased, or dirty, are usually classed as 'unsellable' and therefore discarded. At Beautiful Bargains, we strive to restore items to their original glory, and always wash and iron any items of clothing before resale. Furthermore, we endeavour to repair any damaged items (to the best of our ability), and if unsuccessful, we clearly note any defects when listing items for sale online.
Lastly, we regularly scour local social media 'for sale' pages in search of stock. If an item is listed, for example, as "Free to collector. If not claimed before Tuesday we will take it to the local landfill!", we jump at the chance to collect if nobody is in need of the item.
Our mission is important to many, and should be important to all. If you want to enquire about sending us donations, you can contact us via our contact page.
