Mixed review I use Freeview mostly to give items that are too good for the tip away for free to people who need/want them in the local area, but honestly, it's just such a faff and you often end up sitting in the house for hours waiting for people who never show up. I've had good experiences with people being really responsive and collecting quickly, but more experiences with people not responding / being no-shows / not having space in the car for it. For balance, the one time I used it as a 'customer' - I got a lovely piece of furniture in great condition that I still use to this day. The issue with Freecycle isn't the concept, it's some of the time wasters who use it...

tried to offer a built in oven and hob… tried to offer a built in oven and hob Scarborough area nearly new clean . worth having and barely used. Moderators sent me a long list of reasons without any specific "violation" that I could change. Can only assume the moderators here are either stupid or having a bad day. Wont use freecycle again...

Pretty good overall Only had one experience, but overall was pretty good. I guess because the other end was interested in the product I was advertising, so the whole process was pretty smooth, even though I had to rush because of the short time frame I had. My only complain would be the platform's ux design, but since I only needed to use the site once, I wouldn't say it was a major problem.

Good idea ruined by time wasters Good idea ruined by time wasters Posted all my white goods as moving to place with fitted goods received a message at 3am saying I'll have it if you deliver. Things went downhill from there people were seemingly enthusiastic but then didn't reply to messages. Asked for more details and more photos so provided by e mail then whole day wasted with messing on with people who are just mucking about. Too good for tip but that's where it's going closed account which is shame as worked in past

Absolutely perplexed by so many… Absolutely perplexed by so many "timewasting" reviews on here. Only because I've tried several times to get Offers from freecyclers - I've sent messages online as well as email - but I never seem to be successful! Never seem to get any responses. Would love to know where I'm going wrong here. Can't help for want of trying to take people's stuff off their hands!
