Rita R.
too hard to post to the Cardiff site, they moderators keep rejecting my posts for being duplicates when they are edits of live posts. Really useless volunteers who just want to make it impossible to post!! WHY!. I am surprised anyone gets a post of my local site, but as I only see 1 or 2 a day others must be having the same problems, am looking for a better alternative

A terrible interface that is awful to use. Not at all intuitive and very cluttered. The buttons you need in order to navigate are small to the point of being invisible. I joined a few days ago and am just about to leave, shame as its aims are good. But the execution is among the worst I have seen.

Messaging is painfully slow. I have waited days to get a response from someone who wants to pick an item up. Relying on freecycle just sullies the good reputation of the recycling movement.

Again - as a long time 'offerer' on freecycle, the new website looks to leech funds from every transaction. Not a community service.

Freecycle.org / The Freecycle Network is a charitable nonprofit. Membership is totally free and posting/replying is totally free. We don't allow money to exchange hands ever on Freecycle. Freecycle has 10 million members, and every local group is moderated by a local volunteer. Freecycle is run on about 90 servers in over 110 countries with thousands of volunteers and two staff members globally. Over a thousand tonnes a day of used items are gifted on Freecycle, roughly the equivalent of what goes into a mid-sized landfill. Giving freely with no strings attached is what we are all about.

Tried to donate. Took forever to get approved, I asked a moderator and they said it's volunteer work. He said he couldn't be bothered and to go drop it off at goodwill.

Freecycle used to excellent. It was thriving and ever so useful. Since the owners have made ssed about with the website it is practically unusable. The amount of posts have dwindled but they still keep messing with the outlay. You have run it into the ground by ruining it.

The new website is terrible. You can't conveniently reply to messages direct from yrou mailbox. On the website there's no way of putting an item on hold while you wait to see if it's being collected. The methods for tracking your messages items is far clunkier and worse than before. I haev offered several items. I've had replies, but no follow ups. I think this is because there is no mailbox like place where you can see all yoru messages. It's almost unusable. If you read this, Freecycle, please get the website fixed by someone who has actually used Freecycle.
