Goodwill Customer Service, Orders, Shipping & Returns

Goodwill customer service assists shoppers with online auctions, orders, shipping, payments, account access and website problems. Because merchandise is listed and fulfilled by participating regional Goodwill organizations, the selling Goodwill location generally handles item, order, return, shipping and pickup questions.

For account or website problems, contact ShopGoodwill support at support@shopgoodwill.com. ShopGoodwill lists central support hours as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time.

Important: CustomerServiceNumbers.com is not ShopGoodwill and cannot access auctions, orders, tickets, refunds, payment records or user accounts. Never post an order number, tracking number, home address, password, verification code or payment information in a public review.

How to Contact a ShopGoodwill Seller

For questions about an item or order, ShopGoodwill directs customers to the Goodwill organization that listed the merchandise.

Use “Contact Seller” on the item-detail page or open the order from your ShopGoodwill account. This keeps the request connected with the correct listing, order and regional Goodwill seller.

Include:

  • The item or order number
  • The selling Goodwill organization
  • The auction closing or payment date
  • A concise description of the problem
  • Photographs of damage or listing discrepancies when relevant
  • The resolution you are requesting

ShopGoodwill says sellers generally respond within approximately two business days. If the seller has not responded after that period, confirm that the ticket contains the correct seller and order information before emailing support@shopgoodwill.com.

ShopGoodwill Auctions and Bid Retractions

Review the photographs, item description, seller information, shipping charges, handling fees, pickup requirements and return policy before bidding.

Under ShopGoodwill’s terms, the accepted highest bidder is generally obligated to complete the transaction. Bids are normally not retractable.

ShopGoodwill explains that a selling location may consider a one-time bid-retraction request as a courtesy, but approval is at the seller’s discretion. Contact the seller immediately through the listing if a serious bidding error occurred. Do not assume the bid will be removed.

ShopGoodwill Payments and Duplicate Charges

Paid and unpaid purchases appear in the Open Orders section of the customer’s account. Payment options can vary according to the seller and listing.

ShopGoodwill notes that a bank may temporarily place an authorization hold on funds during a payment attempt. An authorization or pending entry is not necessarily a completed duplicate charge.

If two transactions have fully posted for one order:

  1. Save the order and payment confirmation.
  2. Confirm the amount and transaction dates with the card issuer.
  3. Email support@shopgoodwill.com with the order details.
  4. Provide only the last four digits of the card when needed.

Do not send a complete card number, security code, bank-account number or account password by email.

ShopGoodwill Shipping and Handling

ShopGoodwill says orders are generally shipped within five business days after payment. The actual carrier, processing period and shipping method can vary by selling Goodwill.

Customers can review tracking information through the Shipped Orders section after the order is sent.

Shipping charges may be:

  • A flat amount established by the seller
  • A calculated amount based on package size, weight and destination
  • Increased by insurance or signature requirements

Handling fees are established by the seller and should be displayed on the listing before a bid is placed. Review the total estimated cost rather than evaluating the current bid price alone.

If an order has not shipped after the expected processing period, contact the selling Goodwill with the payment date and order number.

Damaged, Missing or Misdescribed ShopGoodwill Items

Contact the selling Goodwill immediately when an item arrives damaged, is missing components or appears materially different from the listing.

Preserve:

  • The shipping box and internal packaging
  • Photographs of the box before opening when damage is visible
  • Photographs of the item and damaged areas
  • The original listing description and photographs
  • The tracking information
  • The order and payment confirmation

Do not discard the packaging or ship the item back until the seller provides instructions. The seller may need the packaging and photographs for a carrier claim.

ShopGoodwill Returns and Refunds

ShopGoodwill’s terms state that return and refund policies vary by seller. Review the Seller Information section of the listing before bidding.

To request a return or refund:

  1. Open the relevant item or order.
  2. Review the selling Goodwill’s stated return policy.
  3. Use “Contact Seller” to create a support request.
  4. Explain why the return or refund is being requested.
  5. Attach photographs or supporting information when relevant.
  6. Wait for return instructions before mailing the item.

ShopGoodwill states that refunds are generally issued to the original payment method. Eligibility depends on the seller’s policy and the circumstances of the order.

ShopGoodwill Local Pickup Problems

Local-pickup procedures are established by the selling Goodwill and may differ considerably between locations. Some sellers require appointments, payment a specified number of days in advance or pickup within a limited period.

Before bidding on a pickup-only item, confirm:

  • The pickup address
  • Available days and hours
  • Whether an appointment is required
  • How soon the item must be collected
  • Whether identification is required
  • Whether staff can assist with loading
  • Any handling or storage fees
  • What happens if the pickup deadline is missed

For pickup questions, contact the selling Goodwill rather than central ShopGoodwill support.

ShopGoodwill Account and Website Support

Central ShopGoodwill support handles account and platform problems such as:

  • Unable to sign in
  • Password-reset problems
  • Invalid or incomplete account information
  • Bidding privileges being suspended
  • Customer-service tickets not appearing
  • Website errors
  • Duplicate posted transactions
  • Account closure or deletion

Email support@shopgoodwill.com. Support hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT.

To reset a password, select “Sign In,” choose “Forgot Password?” and enter the username or email address connected with the account. Check spam and junk folders if the reset message does not arrive.

ShopGoodwill states that bidding privileges may be suspended when an account has three or more past-due items or contains invalid or incomplete information.

How to Escalate a ShopGoodwill Complaint

  1. Contact the selling Goodwill. Use “Contact Seller” for an item, order, shipment, return, refund or pickup problem.
  2. Document the issue. Save the listing, photographs, order information, tracking details and seller responses.
  3. Allow time for a response. ShopGoodwill says sellers normally respond within approximately two business days.
  4. Verify the ticket. Make sure it identifies the correct seller, item and order.
  5. Contact central support. If the seller has not responded or the problem involves the platform, email support@shopgoodwill.com.
  6. Request review. Include the existing ticket number, contact dates and the specific resolution requested.

Goodwill organizations operate regionally, so contacting an unrelated Goodwill store or Goodwill Industries International may not resolve a ShopGoodwill seller dispute.
