Love thrifting? Live for online shopping? If you’re nodding right now, you’ll fall head over heels for our new online store.

Brimming with thousands of pre-loved items, Salvos Stores online is the virtual op shop that never sleeps.

Nearly 100 Salvos Stores around Australia hand-pick items from their shops and list them online. They take the pictures, write the descriptions, list the items online and get a little skip in their step when someone purchases them. They’re also the ones who carefully pack the item up and send it to its new owner (that’s you!). 

Although we’re likely (okay, definitely) bias, online thrift shopping is one of the best ways to get your online shopping kick, while doing your bit for the planet and supporting programs to help those in need. Talk about a win, win, win.

You might also wonder, why would Salvos Stores go online?

This has been a huge step for our organisation and one we’re so excited to share with our customers. Quicker than we could have imagined, Covid-19 changed the way our organisation worked and that meant going online and making thrifting a digital experience. 

Our online store ensures our customers can still op shop. It keeps our teams engaged when stores have had to temporarily close. It allows us to be there for our community. And, it means we continue raising funds to support Salvation Army programs for vulnerable Australians (something that feels more important now, than ever before).

So, why not take a look for yourself? (Go on!)

A few weeks ago we introduced you to Brigitte and Fiona - online superstars busy listing items online for sale every day. If you missed the introduction, you can meet the amazing duo here.

In this part 2 behind-the-scenes look at Salvos Stores online, we get an inside peek at how items make it from the shop to the online store.

Spoiler: It involves a team of stylists, photographers, and website technicians... Just kidding! Fiona and Brigitte (and nearly 100 teams just like them) cover the entire process - they even hunt down the pesky care label.

Behind The Scenes of Our Online Store | Part 2

The days are longer, the air is warmer... spring is finally here! It’s the perfect time to clear out your old items and make way for new op shop finds (well, new to you at least).

For some, op shopping is a much-loved hobby. They can walk into any small thrift shop, or huge warehouse-style Salvos and flick through the racks with ease. Just by looking at the dress/jacket/top they can get a sense for if it’ll fit. If it’ll flatter them. If they’ll feel great in it. 

For others, the racks brimming with pre-loved clothing are intimidating. It’s difficult to know where to start browsing and near-impossible to decide if it’s worth trying something on. 

If you fall into the second camp, we’ve got a few simple tips that will turn your op shop pit stops into the exciting thrift-ventures they should be.

It sounds simple but take a moment to actually feel the fabric of the item you’re considering before you bother trying it on. Is it soft? Does it stretch? Is it see-through? For bonus points, check the care label. It’ll give you a quick snapshot into whether you need to hand-wash a piece, dry-clean it or (fingers crossed!) can chuck it in the machine. The care label will also let you know what it’s made of – is it mainly natural fibres like cotton, linen or wool, or is it synthetic (which may irritate those with sensitive skin). A blend of both is often the case, and usually delivers the best of both worlds.

All Salvos Stores are colour coded, which not only looks really pretty but allows you to head straight for the hues that work for you. The colours that show off your complexion and work best with your hair. The colours that make you ‘pop’. If you usually shop the same hues out of habit, or aren’t sure what your colours are, this article is a great way to get acquainted with your complimentary rainbow shades.

Thrift shops are filled with clothes ranging from BNWT (brand new with tags) to true vintage finds that have survived the decades, and much like trends that have evolved over the years, so have the way designers and brands size garments. You may be a certain size in today’s world, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that a vintage garment in that same size will fit just as well.

Although nothing beats trying a garment on (whether that’s in a change room, or at home when purchased), there are a few ‘size at first sight’ tips to keep in mind.

Don’t limit yourself to your current size. Labels are almost meaningless while thrifting, so look at the garment’s shape over its size tag.

It sounds obvious, but hold it up to yourself while on the hanger. The waist and length can be checked in moments with a quick hanger test.

Think outside the box. If it’s a shirt or blouse you love but it’s too small, could you wear it open over a tee? If you find jeans that fit perfectly but are too long, could you chop the hems off? Your only limit is your imagination when it comes to thrift style.

We hope these short and sweet thrift-tips inspire those new to op shopping. To share your own hacks, tag @SalvosStores on Instagram – we can’t wait to see them!

Covid-19 Update | 6 Stores Reopening in WA

Salvos Stores has made the decision to continue to operate and support the community through 30 of our re-opened Metro Melbourne stores, following the announcement from Victorian Premier on Tuesday 7th July around re-engaging stage 3 restrictions within this area.  

Unfortunately, we will be closing 12 stores as of end of trade Wednesday 8th July. 

We would firstly like to thank our community for their support whilst we have re-opened these stores, and we have loved welcoming you back into our recently changed Salvos Stores environment.  

Throughout this 6-week period, our stores that remain open will continue to support our community in two ways: 

Community Support; we play a vital role at Salvos Stores by ensuring communities have access to great quality items at reasonable prices, as well as providing support for the most vulnerable in our community. We want to ensure that this winter, our community has access to everything they need from us. 

Donations; we have continued to see lots of amazing donations over the last few weeks and we want to ensure we can continue to be there to graciously accept these. 

Within these stores you will continue to find the additional precautionary measures in place to ensure that we can continue to keep our teams, customers and donors safe whilst they visit us. These are: 

Maintaining social distancing & people per square metre rules 

Additional cleaning of our stores throughout the day and every evening 

The installation of protective shields at our counters 

The provision of PPE for all our team members 

Hand sanitising stations at our store entrances 

Quarantining our donations (linked to blog post) 

Whilst we will miss you at many of our locations over the next 6 weeks, we are sure we can come together as a community to make a real difference.  

If you can’t visit us in person, you can shop with us online.  

Thank you for your continued support and understanding since April, and in the coming weeks and months to come.

Following the announcement from the Victorian Premier on Tuesday 7th July around re-engaging stage 3 restrictions in Metropolitan Melbourne, Salvos Stores has made the difficult decision to close 12 of our re-opened metro Melbournestores from Thursday 9th July.

With more people being at home, we've seen lots of amazing donations make their way to Salvos Stores - and we are forever grateful!

We wanted to update you all on how we manage our donations from the moment we receive them until they are placed for sale. We are committed to your safety and ensuring we are taking the necessary steps to minimise any potential transmission of COVID-19.

Most of our stores will operate contactless donation drop-off, which means items are placed in one of our donation bins on-site during selected hours. It's best to call our local store to check their donation hours before you make the trek. 

Once donations are received, many of the items are placed into quarantine for a period of up to 72 hours to minimise risk to our teams and to our community. After reviewing our procedures in line with information provided by Safe Work we have made a couple of changes to our quarantine process; 

Clothing & textiles are processed for sale 

Books and games will be quarantined for 24 hours

Hard furniture will be cleaned and sanitised before sale

Fabric furniture will be cleaned and sanitised before sale

Homewares, electrical, jewellery and other hard surfaces will be quarantined for 72 hours

All other items will be quarantined for 72 hours

After the items go through this process, our store teams (wearing gloves) will sort through the donations before pricing and placing them out into our stores for sale. 

As always, there are new items placed out for sale in our stores each and every day. 

For the moment, our change rooms remain closed but we will offer a refund should you find anything you buy from us isn't right for you - and all returned items go back into quarantine just to be on the safe side. 

We will continue to review and revise how we handle donations as things change and evolve, and are committed to keeping you informed on this process. 

Thanks for all your wonderful donations as well as your continued support. 

To our wonderful Salvos Stores community, 

We have been overwhelmed by your support since our stores began reopening in mid-May. Whilst we are taking a slow and steady approach, we are pleased to announce a further 14 stores will open on Monday 15th June.

This means we now have 226 Salvos Stores open across the country. 

Donations are very welcome and encouraged at all of these stores during opening hours. 

We are looking forward to being able to announce more store openings in the coming weeks, and thank you for your patience if you are still waiting for your local or dare we say favourite Salvos Stores to reopen again.
