Dollar Tree

Will miss this place when it closes. I go here at least once a week and have bought so many things. Everything from holiday décor to eggs, cat food, brand name food, books, kitchen tools, etc. went to the Forest Ave location and was very disappointed in its lack of organization and the amount of boxes that appeared to have been in the aisles for a while that were ripped open, contents all over the floor and lack of stock. Fortunately Deals on Richmond is now becoming Dollar:

excellent place. My favorite store in the whole world. what you want? baby they got it. What you need? you know they got it. Hello. Unbelievable finds. seven day candles for 1.00 food, eggs, I got a dozen eggs for a dollar, and lots of stuff for kitties too and holiday decorations. Who can resist for a buck? I love this store and the one on forest avenue as well.

As far as dollar stores go, this one is not bad at all. They have a great selection of items and to my delight they even have an entire wall of fake flowers! They even have a frozen food section.
I recommend going early morning on a weekday — there are virtually no lines and you’ll score a parking spot right in front!

NIGHTMARE Customer Experience ordering from Dollar Tree Direct!
Needing Candles for my wedding, I felt it would be practical, AFFORDABLE and efficient to order from Dollar Store direct. Boy was that far from the truth! I ordered the items and had it shipped to my local Dollar Tree in East Brunswick, New Jersey. THE DAY BEFORE, I was scheduled to pick up, I got a phone call from Dollar Tree corporate informing me that the store location was CLOSED for construction and that the truck had no further choice but to drop the boxes at the STATEN ISLAND location more than 50 MILES AWAY from my home in New Jersey, not to mention a different state completely. Wanting the delivery and pick up to just be over with, I contact a friend who lived in Staten Island to pick up the order the day it was scheduled to arrive. I called the Stated Island store in advance and they said they would call me back when it was unloaded. I NEVER GOT A CALL BACK. Two days later, I get a call from the original local location saying although they are closed, they will be at the store for me to pick up. This was to my confusion because last I heard, the order was in Staten Island.
WHY HAVE AN IN-​STORE PICK UP AS AN OPTION ON THE WEBSITE WHEN THE STORE IS CLOSED FOR REPAIRS?! WHY SHIP THE CASE MORE THAN 50 MILES AWAY AS AN ALTERNATIVE WITHOUT EVEN CONSULTING THE CUSTOMER OR SUGGESTING A STORE WITHIN 1 MILE OF THE CLOSED LOCATION? WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RETURNING CUSTOMER CALLS? I am a loyal dollar tree shopper and was considering sourcing MORE items for my wedding via dollar tree direct but NOT NOW. UNLESS I CAN BE COMPENSATED FOR MY TIME DURING THIS NIGHTMARE I WILL NOT BE BACK!

The only thing good about this store is that everything is a dollar. Their employees are rude, and uninterested. I’ve seen them on their cell phones while stocking the shelves and they’ll carry on personal conversations with other employees while ringing you up. The lines here are usually really long with not enough registers open. It really is such a shame because every other dollar tree I’ve ever been to is great.

This store is so unorganized! The best thing about it is obviously the price, everything for $ 1. Their cards are 2 for $ 1. They do have seasonal items or last minute necessities for a gift, as well as balloons. They have items for your house, such as cleaning products and paper goods. Lines can be long & cashiers do move slow. Not to mention the parking lot it is located in is absolutely horrible! For last minute finds, it’s great. But they need better organization & better quality items.

Love it here, tons of great stuff! Def someplace worth hitting up for a great bargain. You would be surprised what you can actually get for a dollar.

As far as dollar stores go, it’s all right. The bulk of the merchandise is things that really OUGHT to be a dollar or less, as opposed to brand-​name closeouts, although occasionally you can find a good deal.
However, the real reason to go here is that they tend to have an excellent selection of sparkly holiday and seasonal décor (hello Halloween and Xmas decorating!), and they have perfectly acceptable new greeting cards for only 50 cents apiece.

i freakin’ LOVE this place.
LOVE it.
the prices are insatiable (duh… a DOLLAR!).
however, the products sold here are that of a better quality and major brands in good quality are sold here as well. i mean, why the hell would i pay $ 3.99 for a jug of juice with the same expiration date at the grocery store when i can pay $ 1.00 for the same thing? from tools, cooking supplies, accessories, bath/​body products and food… i seriously heart this place.

The people that work here are friendly and helpful. The store in general has everything you most likely are looking for and EVERYTHiNG, no matter what you buy is no more than $ 1.00. Any little small items you need, you’ll most likely find them here. Most of the employees are nice and the managers are friendly. The lines are long but usually move pretty quick so you shouldn’t be in here for long. 5 stars for them and no complaints.
