Today my wife went into your shop to donate some items and yet again she was spoken to about a donation in a derogatory manner. The woman also walked off not finishing the conversation and was sarcastic to my wife when she left. I have had a woman be rude to me in the post and so has my father in law. Unfortunately we have never got the name of this woman but I suggest management look into this as this is the final.straw and my family will never shop or donate there now for the foreseeable future.

THIS SHOP IS CLOSED FROM 12- 1 FOR LUNCH DO NOT VISIT AT THIS TIME.We went to the shop today with my son as he wanted to buy a car track he had previously seen, to find that they are closed for lunch.....again. This has happened before (see previous Google reviews) and seems to be a regular thing. Please update the opening hours online to stop people from visiting at this time. Thanks

I would like to suggest a correction to your opening hours. Could you please inform on Google and on your website about the closure for lunch time? I went to your shop today (Unit 2 - Oakridge Park Local Centre, Buckinghamshire), by bike, and the route is far from where I live. The woman who works there invited me to leave the store, due to her lunch time, in addition to being rude, talking loudly and interrupting me when I tried to make this suggestion, in order to prevent the problem from happening again with new customers.

What a good charity shop, i thought quite good prices too. Pleasant lady served me.Do love a rummage in a charity shop. A random set of shops here but glad to see a charity one amongst them.

Good cause, and could provide good service to the community. But They seem to forget that they are a charity. So could pay more attention to prices and keep them low. You are not in competition with eBay or other stores!!!.

Barnardo's shops are packed with bargains and friendly and hardworking volunteer staff. I love these places.

I have been to this charity shop twice to donate items. The first time the lady was very rude - she didn't even say hello and just said 'You'll have to give your postcode in case the stuff is stolen'. I didn't mind giving it, but she could perhaps have explained nicely. She then took the items without even saying thank you and walked out the back! I have just been again today and barely set my foot inside the door and got shouted at 'No no no no no no', we've got too much stuff already. Again, I can understand they might be a bit full up, but there is no excuse for a rude attitude, they could have just explained quietly. I know that a lot of people who work in charity shops are volunteers but I would still expect them to be civil. Needless to say, we will donate to a different shop in future.

Very disappointed to be turned away and told to come back with my donation in an hour. How much harm would it of done to take my bag of things from me and put it to the side for an hour? I'm not feeling well today (obvious to see by looking at me!) and I was trying to do something kind. I won't bother next time!
Abrupt member of staff shouting across the room to not forget that that also close for an hour at lunchtime.
This has left me with a really bad impression. The Willen branch are very welcoming and friendly, I'll go there next time.
