# Thrift & Second-Hand Stores in Singapore

Thrift stores in Singapore include charity shops, which put proceeds towards social causes, and curated vintage boutiques. Charity shops are cheapest and take donations. Vintage boutiques select and price higher. Check each store's donation guidelines before dropping items off, as most refuse damaged goods and large furniture.

## FAQs
### Where can I donate used clothes in Singapore?
Many charity thrift shops accept donations of clean, wearable clothes, books and working household items at their stores or drop-off points. Check each organisation's donation guidelines first, as many do not accept damaged items, undergarments or bulky furniture.

### Can I return items bought at a thrift store?
Usually not. Most thrift and charity shops sell items as-is with no returns or exchanges. Check the policy at the counter, and inspect items carefully before paying.

### Is thrifting cheaper than buying new?
Generally yes, especially at charity thrift shops, where clothes and household items often cost a fraction of retail. Curated vintage stores charge more for selection and rare items. Thrifting also cuts textile waste.
