FreecycleReviews of freecycle.org

Attempted to post a giveaway more than 24 hours ago, still waiting for an invisible moderator to approve it. Have been a 'member' for 8 years, first time this has happened. Not only 'not yet approved' but 2 messages to the moderator achieve a zero response. I recently moved to sleepy Windsor UK, so I guess that is the norm here. Using 'freegle' gives an instant result. Will quit freecycle.org by the end of today.

Local groups lack moderation, the website is clunky and poorly designed, some functions are broken, worst of all, reporting function is broken. I guess it doesn't matter, since there's no one to review the reports.

I thought i was doing a good thing! £450 bed, slept on 3 times, for free! All i got was abuse!

For me the company could improve their log in system. After following advise from an operative, I still cannot log in after changing my password. Therefore, sadly I cannot inform the 3 people who contacted me about my folding desk that it has been taken. I have given up trying.

5 stars for the nice people who have asked politely for an item ( “ I’ll have that” isn’t going to get a look in) People who have helped me when I’ve needed stuff, or even needed to just borrow weird sized spanner’s for an hour or two. And nice people who’ve turned up when they say they will. Zero stars to the grabby, entitled people who say they want something then can’t be bothered turning up, including the person who couldn’t collect plants until the next day so told me ( not asked) to put them in the shade and water them……and then didn’t bother collecting. The site works well, it’s the idiots and selfish people who detract from it.

I signed-up for Freecycle in order to responsibly get rid of an old (but still good) desk. I had one person interested in it, but we got as far as arranging a collection time when they told me they had "picked one up just this morning". While I was on there I attempted to help out other people, only to discover that they either had not updated their original 'Wanted' post, or were otherwise wasting my time. One chap wanted a "Mini-PC or Laptop". I replied saying I had a Mini-PC but he said he would prefer a laptop, so I dug out an old laptop for him and replied again, only for him to say that he had just picked up a Mini-PC... I have now deleted my account and will not be returning.

I’ve received about 20 password resets with user’s info in the past 2 weeks. I’m not a member of this site and I’ve never heard of it prior. I emailed their support but they said it’s spoof account however the emails come directly from their domain, no_reply@ the domain. I would not give this website any personal info.

Stopped receiving Emails about a week ago. Unable to log in to my account, username or password incorrect. I have made numerous attampts to get a password reset Email and not received any. I have tried in Chrome, Edge and on android. nothing works.
