How can i get my stuff back from goodwill?

Question

My parents recently took some old stuff from me and donated it to a goodwill and they were sentimental and i really need them back. Can someone please tell me how to get them back from goodwill. :(

Answer 1

sorry ,you cant have them back Ive grown attached to them.

Answer 2

oh man that sucks! I have seriously had that happen to me so many times... One time my parents asked me to clean my room and I felt lazy so I filled ac ouple garbage bags with stuff from  my room and shoved them in a closet somewhere....they thought they were 'garbage' and donated all of it! Another time my girlfriend had left some designer special edition signed jean jacket at my house and You guessed it Goodwill!! She was so mad for such a long time! However I have learned a lesson....this happens alot trust me but if you pass by a goodwill sometime you may just find a treasure...

Answer 3

go buy it all back, at least it won't cost as much the second time around...

Answer 4

buy them..

Answer 5

Buy

Answer 6

Sorry it's probably gone, unless you can go to the store and find it...

Answer 7

How long ago did they get donated?? If it was within the last day then go in and ask to talk to someone who works on sorting the stuff that gets donated and explaine it to them and see if you can take a look and see if its in the bins still and if its already been put out on the floor then go and look and go and buy it back (it won't cost that much)!!

Answer 8

i would say to call them and ask them about it, i would hurry up and do it if i were you because they usually send the stuff that you donate to one goodwill to another in a different town!

Answer 9

Call the Goodwill center they were dropped off at and explain the situation.  Some years ago an Uncle of mine (My Mom's brother) passed away.  His wife's family went through everything the same day he died and took what they wanted and gave the rest to Good Will or threw it out.  Thing is, there were things like the only existing photos of another brother who had died tragically about 50 years earlier and other sentimental items.  My Mom called and explained and asked if there was any way she could get any part of the items back.  She described a few photos and things.  The Good Will center contacted their distribution center (where everything had gone) and all but one or two items were recovered and sent to my Mom.   ... Since then I have believed that the Good Will centers and stores are run by and staffed by some very decent people.  

You might be lucky and get some of your items back too.  Good luck.
