Amazon and Goodwill teaming up

I love this! I always have extra Amazon boxes. Some go in the recycle bin and I save some to use when I sell our stuff online, but there are always extra. Yes, I can fit more clothes in a plastic garbage bag but part of the idea is to reuse the boxes. 

 

I'll definitely use this at times. However, I donate a lot of items to our local SPCA thrift shop, so I'll continue to do that too. I'll probably do this when I just can't seem to get to the thrift shop and really want the stuff gone from the house.

It's easier for me to run to Goodwill than the post office. Plus I can fit more clothes in a garbage bag than an Amazon box. But I agree with the other pp's, I like the sentiment.

 

They'll pick it up if you want them to.  You don't have to even leave your house.

I saw this on facebook and there were A LOT of people commenting on how they thought this was a horrible deal because they didn't support Goodwill.  They kept saying things like "if Amazon would have partnered up with_______, I would support it, but because Goodwill is NOT a not for profit organization, they thought it was a bad idea.   

 

I guess everybody is entitled to their opinion, huh?

Oh, wow! I volunteer at an organization that receives donations from people. You would not believe the disgusting things that people PAY to ship to this ministry - sometimes 30+ dollars to ship old, dirty blankets, long-used towels and grandma's old clothes. I think there are people that just can't throw away things and so they pay for someone else to do it for them. 

 

And now there's free shipping! 

 

Shudder....still traumatized, lol.

There's a lot of misinformation floating around out there about Goodwill Industries.
