Plato's Closet Red Deer

Terrible experience! I took in 4 garbage bags full of brand name clothing with the odd old navy or Walmart brand!!! Nothing crazy style wise mostly jeans, leggings and t shirts and hoodies!!It took them 3.5 hours to go through and they took 13 items. I did not give them any dirty or ripped/torn clothing! $40 they told me they were overstocked, the clothing had to much wear and that they weren’t really “in style”!The girls going through my clothes had doc Martin boots, baggy elastic waist band jeans and crop tops!! Apparently that’s the style now!Will never sell to them again! Not worth the hassle or the attitudes!

I find the store a bit crowded which makes it hard to look through the racks, and even move about when it’s busy., however they do have great current styles to purchase , very reasonable prices,(assuming because they are cheap when purchasing clothing from the seller)Some of the employees would benefit from some customer service skills training. (More then 1 occasion I’m referring too)

EDIT 2022: I've been trying to decide if I should update my review, or just delete it. I used to absolutely love this store, but in the last 6 months, the quality has gone downhill. It has become difficult to find items at Plato's that aren't either torn or dirty. I'm not sure what is going on, but I think potential shoppers should be made aware of the lack of quality in recent months. On our last trip alone, I ended up putting back 8 items that had stains or excessive pet hair on them (not just a little bit, they were coated in pet hair). And of the clothes I purchased, I had to throw out two of the items because we noticed major flaws and staining once we got home (and we don't go into the city often enough to return it within their 7 day return period). Yes, I should have looked more carefully at the items before purchasing, but I also think that these items shouldn't have been up for sale in the first place. Plato's used to be the best place in Red Deer for used clothing, but unfortunately that is not the case lately. On the bright side, the staff is still amazing as always.ORIGINAL REVIEW: My family and I just love shopping at this store. It's a weekly shopping trip for us! We always get great service, the staff is friendly and helpful. It's always nice when they recognize you from previous visits and have a little chat! Prices seem to fluctuate a bit, but we can always find a good deal.

Don’t allow returns and don’t tell you when you purchase that you can’t get your money back even if it’s the same day you purchased. Very rude staff. Wouldn’t recommend

Very rude and controlling staff needs a serious overhaul. Treats their customers like garbage; banning random people left and right. Not sure what sort of discrimination it is based off of.

Used to Love bringing my clothes into platos closet always found I got a good price until today. Brought in 6 garbage bags of clothes and got a couple dollars back. Seeing as there were items lululemon still with price tag .. can say I probably won’t be doing that again.. good place to shop but not to bring in clothes that have value. Better off selling on buy and sell

Today I went in to Platos to shop but also to see how much I could get for a shirt I bought from Lammles Western Wear a few years ago. It was a long sleeved mans button up shirt that said cowboy up" on it. Never worn and hung in my closet the whole time. No tears

Such amazing staff who were quick to help and happily went out of there way to help me!!

Heard about them on the radio and figured I would bring some of my clothes in. I brought in a garbage bag and they didn’t purchase a single article of clothing which included popular brands like metal mulisha. Will not be going there again and I feel like I got scammed.

lots of shein for like 5 bucks good lulu selection.
