Earthly Treasures - Columbiana, Alabama

Used to love coming here but it’s now turned into another greedwill type of place.
Prices going up too much and the donation quality has either gone way down or inventory just isn’t making it onto the shelves like most other thrift stores because of shady employees. Again not sure which is the reason for that but it’s one of the two!
Again I noticed employees buying items on their breaks in the past on items that haven’t even hit the shelf yet so I’m wondering if this store allows employees to buy items same day or are they supposed to wait 24 hours before buying items anyway just another observation.
It never even bothered me that the roof leaks like a sieve after it rains, as long as prices were reasonable and there was a good amount to choose from.
I say just get it together so we the shoppers can come back and enjoy ourselves

I love the christian atmosphere, but the workers need to show it more. There’s a very unenthusiastic, unwilling to help, and annoyed attitude from a lot of the workers. I don’t know which lady it was but she was at the desk and looked to be the manager. I was unimpressed.
Average thrift store though, big selection of everything just not a whole lot of quality. It somehow manages to be both organized and unorganized at the same time, with things grouped together but not in any “section”. Just groupings of the same item randomly in the store. I’d recommend to check it out but don’t expect much.

I love this store more than the American thrift stores. There prices are lower they have Monday when color tags are discounted some items only a quarter. I have better luck finding what I was looking for. Also if you have a medical supply that a family member needs if they have it they will donate it to you free of charge we have found everything from shower chairs sliding board wheelchair costly boots for broken bones the list goes on. We also purchased a really nice loveseat and matching recliner that had electric recliners built in they worked fantastic and clean I spruced them up just for my own sanitary reasons but wasn't visually needed. Negotiating the price of both with a manager and got an got both for under 150$ when I say the quality of the them where excellent ? for that price! Had help loading them and left extra happy ? definitely recommend.

Loved this small town thrift store where prices were actually thrift-store prices and where I actually believed the mission was to help people. I donated everything here and shopped here frequently. Suddenly the prices have skyrocketed and it's become just another example of greed disguised as "Christian" charity. As much as it upsets someone as lowly as me, I can't even begin to imagine how Christ feels. This world. ?

Had a local bartender rave about how great this place was. The prices were amazing, they had a lot of "vintage" stuff, etc. The review was by far one of the most inflated I've ever heard.

Came in today and immediately the place just gave me crippling anxiety. Everything was strewn all about, there was no rhyme or reason to the placement of anything, and the whole place had me hacking up a lung, it was so riddled with dust. The clothes had stains all over them and, although all the tees were $.50, they were so decrepit looking, I would've just ripped them up and made cleaning rags if they'd been mine- not donated them assuming other people want their disgusting hand-me-downs.

As for the selection, the "vintage" items were few and far between and certainly not quality enough for resale. I found 3 total items in the entire store after an hour of scouring. The prices were pretty stellar like she said, but I would've paid more for better items at a good ol' America's Thrift.

The staff weren't exactly friendly, either. Sorry you have to work on a Saturday but most young people do until they get into a M-F career, soooo.... Yeah. I'll take reviews from acquaintances with a grain of salt in the future.

I love going to this consignment/thrift store alot!!! I cannot come away from this place without picking up at least a few items each time I visit!! Very large store location with everything you can think of from furniture to clothing for all ages for males and females!! They have a large selection of seasonal/holiday merchandise, housewares,toys you name it!! It has fantastic prices too and a Christian atmosphere!! Each department has a wide selection to browse through too. The prices are better than any other thrift store I have ever visited. Keep it up guys, you are awesome!!!!

We used to love this store and go here atleast once a week but the prices have gotten insane. I stopped donating items and giving business when they started selling used items at the same price I can go get it brand new. I would rather take things to the dump or give them to someone I know then give it to them to be sold at the prices they are selling things.

I’m giving 3 stars only because of one employee! 5 stars otherwise. There was nobody at any of the checkouts, so my husband & I went to the closest one because we had seen people checking out there when we came in. I had taken all my items out & placed them on the counter, all while this employee watched me do so. He then walked up to the farthest checkout & while never acknowledging me, he says, “I’ll take the next customer here.” Another customer went ahead of me. I was fine with that, but what I was not fine with was the employee not even looking my way, AFTER seeing me empty my cart at the other register. I left my items & we walked out. It takes no time to be nice, especially to a customer who is purchasing items to help you have a paycheck!
