Fonthill ReStore (Habitat for Humanity Niagara)

Good store. I usually have a couple of purchases when I leave this HFH. Some prices are a bit high but only for a few items usually,…..to be expected. The store is well run by the looks of it and although I never needed assistance from staff, they all seem nice every time I go which is a few times a year. I am a happy casual shopper and I will continue stopping in here whenever I’m in the area.

I am a regular shopper at Fonthill restore. I always love going through their glassware and finding new dishes to add to my collection. Their prices are awesome! Just came back from value village and their prices for similar items were 3 to 4 times more. I’m going to keep going back to the Fonthill restore. Also the presentation and cleanliness is so much better.

A good shop with plenty of parking, just off the main strip in Fonthill. Available are (pre-owned) things like entire kitchen cabinetry, stoves, hardware, doors, crockery, glassware, sofas, chairs, tables, flooring, and a myriad of other items at a discounted price. You never know what you’ll find. Like a thrift shop for building and decor.

This is usually a good store but I had a very poor experience on the weekend. I saw an old Dyson (10+ years) vacuum that was tagged as tested and working so I brought it to the front and asked if I could see its suction but was told no, that it was in good working order. Well.... that's not really true. I brought it home, cleaned and charged it for several hours but it wouldn't run at all, so I left it charging overnight. After 12 + hours I got 10 seconds of power before it died and no suction, even with just the head in use. I was reminded that all sales are final when I bought it on their assurance that it worked. So now I've ordered a new $60 battery in the hopes that will help and then I need to take it in to be serviced because of the lack of suction. There are no obvious obstructions so I'm not sure what I'm in for but I can't afford to be out $100 for a non-working vacuum so here I am watching self service youtube videos. It was a very disappointing experience and I will be much more aware of what I purchase there.

I'm confused. The furniture I want to donate meets the requirements and is in very good shape, but they told me it won't sell and that they won't pick it up. I thought this was a donation center, meant to help those in need, not a for-profit operation. Just to add to this, kijii free went in a hour
