SPCA Op Shop Hornby is one of more than 90 SPCA op shops across New Zealand, at 1 Amyes Road in Hornby, Christchurch. It sells donated clothing for women, men and children, jewellery, homeware, kitchenware, linen, toys, furniture and things for pets. The website says the funds raised support animals in need. Furniture can be picked up for free within Christchurch, and donations should be in good, sellable condition. The shop also runs an online op shop, and volunteers help with sorting, pricing, merchandising and the till.
Reviewers are mixed. One describes a charming thrift store with a carefully curated selection, items in good condition and friendly volunteers. Others say the prices are high, and that the shop is dirty and smells. Friendly volunteers and the animals are mentioned most often.
