May Court Nearly New Shop - Oakville, Ontario

I found this shop when searching for thrift shops online. I am so glad that it popped up on the list. The selection was really great and the staff, who are all volunteers are really friendly. They even have a sale section in the basement. I will definitely visit again.

Very disappointed in policy that items under fifty dollars unsold become theirs.
When pieces you know are worth more second hand. Very low pricing on items that are new.
Lesson learned.
I agree with other review. It's either a warm welcome or you feel like dirt when you go in.
We all in life may not need to sell items because it's financial necessary.
Luckily there are still very nice people working in store.
Guess you need to read bottom note on consignment print out..unless over 50.00 it's donated to MayCourt. After 30 days.

Be prepared to be abused and treated very poorly by just about every volunteer that "helps" out in this shop! It is shocking how they get away with this sort of customer service. They talk among themselves, whispering and looking people up and down. They need to have a meeting, a big one, and told that if they want to volunteer here they must treat everyone with respect and kindness. Warning you must have "Thick Skin" if you want to shop or consign here.

Extremely disappointed. I use to consign with them back in 2000 when I lived there & they were pretty good. Now I drove in from Kitchener to consign with them again and 1) they lost an item when it was time to pick up 2) person quoting prices was shockingly low as these were all designer items 3) person in charge of store told me they had theft problem 3) didn't even offer to give me the 50% or any other option like credit 4) the ladies are chatting amongst themselves all the time, I know they are volunteers but come on - no professionalism customer service to the public at all 5) the ladies at the store were trying on clothes and doing their own shopping of these items being brought in - so disgusted with their behaviour.

It's such a shame that this place and what it stands for has deteriorated so badly. Also just last few weeks drove by and when I asked about theft, cashier confirmed - oh yes we still have an internal theft problem. I think it's time they really watch and bond the people who volunteer there. Let's see how long it will take for them to clean these issues up and take this place seriously, with professionalism and remembering why they are there.

Cutest shop with very friendly staff. I was told all proceeds go to charity and goodwill efforts. Bless these women who volunteer for such a noble cause.

If there was less than zero star rating I would choose it. These people are very horrible. I was accused of writing a bad review about this place, but I didn't. I am writing this to warn people not to trust the people running this store. This place is a scam. I feel heart broken because I brought about 86 items to consign, just because I'm a single mom with many severe health problems and can't work. So to help to have money trickle in I thought I could give this place a try. Due to my health conditions I cannot carry a big box, and my clothes expired on February 13. I called in advance on Friday February 9 at 1:27pm to ask if I they would be able to pull my clothing so that they don't clearance them out and basically claim them their property. The supervisor said that they would pull them when they expire and that I could collect them on Saturday. so I called again Thursday to see if they kept their word, but you know what they did? they claimed all 36 items as their property and all the money that customers would pay would go to them. I spent at least $500 on all those designer brands that it hurts my already malfunctioning heart as a big blow. The supervisor named Jennifer told me that I can't talk to the director of the store Lori because she is on vacation. So what can I do? They are scam artists as I repeat. How can they claim to be a charity to help those in need when they are busy ripping me off as a someone who needs money? They told me that it would take too much time of the volunteers to pull the clothes for me. So what is the purpose of the store to make money at all costs? even if that means ripping off the poor who come to their door to consign things because they desperately need money? These people are awful. Especially that director of the store Lori who has the final say on everything. I spoke with her husband Paul and he asked a lot of personal questions, and I poured out my heart to explain my difficult financial and health problems I am experiencing. He said he would explain all to Lori to try to convince her to let me collect the 33 clothes. what happened? She ends up telling me too bad...basically. With brands I consigned are brands like Tristan, Guess, Calvin Klein , Armani, Mendocino , etc. Sigh...my heart just hurts from this loss. Some of the clothes I bought from Italy too. Avoid these horrible people!! Buy your clothes at garage sales and outlets! No point in supporting scammers who disguise themselves as doing good and then they malfunction by saying they have a business to run.

I was supposed to take this review down in exchange for them to have given me back all my clothes. I need to warn people to not come to this place. After todays experience and i need to share it. They kept 27 items and or sold them and kept the money for themselves! I called one week in advance before my clothes expired so that it would stop them from clearancing them out and keeping the money. They kept all the expensive things of mine like a suede jacket and my Abercrombie jackets and my guess tops, my Calvin Klein jeans, my Levi's jeans, my jeans from Italy, my pieces from Italy. At least they could have done is not keep the money but to give me the money they sold my clothes for half the price instead of keeping it for their own own called charity. The approximate amount they made and kept was $184 , and yes it is a big deal! My heart problems increased because of this place.

Always finding amazing designer pieces at a fraction of the cost of retail! Super friendly and helpful volunteer staff and all the proceeds go to local charities! Bring your quality gentle used goods too to place on consignment and earn a few bucks!
