unrealistic standards
Trying to donate perfectly decent furniture turned into a rigmarole to meet Salvo’s conditions only to find on pick up that every item I was going to donate was rejected because of not meeting Salvo’s standards. I am appalled at the attitude shown, I had perfectly good modern furniture, no damages, all drawers working. Outdoor tables and chairs virtually unused and had only been outdoors under a covered deck. Considering Salvo’s declared purpose is to assist those who are ‘financially vulnerable and/or disadvantaged’, the way my donation was handled was an absolute insult to me and a joke to your declared purpose. If everything has to be so ‘perfect’ why bother with used items, just go buy new. Salvo’s has lost my support, my goodwill and I will certainly not recommend to others to donate goods, in fact I would advise against it.
