Goodwill via eBay
Sooooo I placed a ton of bids today @ my local Goodwill eBay storefront - Evergreen / Seattle / the OG / the largest in the country and much to my surprise after but a bunch of framed art, I saw that they do not allow local pickup.
On what planet does it make sense to pay $200, run the risk of my art getting ruined which has a way higher value than what it sold at, use a ton of packaging materials unnecessarily and more gas to have a carrier deliver everything 7.5 miles….
It says “due to logistics at the warehouse”… it’s literally in a warehouse district with semis coming in and out, mass amounts of people dropping off donations with multiple lanes, and a MASSIVE parking lot.
What a terrible way to do business all around, has any one else experienced this?
PS, I forgot the best part - USPS doesn’t even deliver to the level of the building I live on, let alone to my door. So I still have to haul it all up a flight of stairs or thru an exterior door, into an elevator door, out of an exterior door, and into my apartment. 🙃
