They told me they have a stand alone thrift shop, so I checked it out. It's small, but PACKED! And the best part is that they get a good turnover of new stuff, so I've done well stopping in randomly. Found some vintage clothes in the past, little pins and jewelry; and this week I stopped in, Blinky showed me all the new stuff that came in, and I found a super rare vintage Shogun Warriors figure. That's the beauty of this place; you never know what you're going to find there.

Sort of like mini physical history books.... However, if you saw my place you might think I was a minimalist (depending on the day I last feverously cleaned, of course). I don't collect very much, but I like to look.... and unlike many situations I can look AND touch. Woo! Wandering in to LIFEC's space is like going through a giant garage sale in an senior apartment complex basement at the end of the month when everyone moves out. Sure, there's junk but you'll also stumble upon so. many. TREASURES! Do you have an empty bedroom that needs something of interest? They probably have a set of nightstands, or a bench to put your shoes on. Maybe even a swanky vintage dresser from the 40s? Live out your mid century modern dreams, or collect pieces to create your own story. I've wandered in to search for props for parties (maps, globes, vintage luggage for a bridal shower!), to fill the gap in spaces in my own place (unique beer steins are where it's at) and even to get some basics (A set of folding chairs! A must have PRE-COVID). Prices are higher than a garage sale, for sure. I know you CAN haggle with them but I honestly won't. They're a charity/nonprofit. The last time I spoke with the owner I could tell both him and his staff had huge hearts. They honestly care about people and need as much resources (and capital) to bring about the the most change... Stop in. You won't regret it! Even if you don't take any treasures home.

I had been riding around with bags of clothes in hopes of finding some place to donate them. I was…read moreparked in the area waiting for a store to open and looked up and saw this store! I took it as a sign I should inquire within. I asked if they took donations. Yes! they said enthusiastically. The gentleman even offered to help me bring the bags in from my car. The lovely woman Susan, who was sorting other donations was friendly. We began talking and we shared stories about our love of animals. She said they contribute to a couple of local animal rescues in the area. The establishment is small but put together well. Trinkets, clothes, housewares, jewelry and small furniture pieces. The shop is clean and the items are displayed nicely. It has the feel of a cozy boutique experience. I did not have time to browse as I wanted nor take any pictures of the interior. I definitely plan on returning not only to donate but to look for some vintage treasures! This is a wonderful place to patronize if you're an animal lover.

We are moving and wanted to do a total clean-out of our house by donating everything. I had gotten…read moreestimates from seven movers. Even though Michael's (Consider It Junk) company was the second cheapest, I decided to hire him. The main reason was that I was impressed with the very young Michael starting his own company with his college friend, against uphill competition. I admire that in a person and want to give a fighting chance. Michael, Andrew, and the entire team were very respectful and friendly. It took two full days to remove everything from our large house. Michael donated 90% of the furniture to needy organizations, and he gave us an itemized list. His company was the only one willing to throw away our gas tanks and paints. The whole place was totally cleaned out, broom-swept, and left in immaculate condition. It was so beautiful that I wanted to buy back my own house :)) Call them. You will be happy you did!!!

BEWARE ALSO KNOWN AS CONSIDER IT MOVING…read more I booked a pack and move with Michael who came on-site for estimate and I also sent photos afterwards. I got a verbal estimate, text message with pricing. The night before at 7pm I called to confirm as I hadn't gotten any notification. He said the project lead would be calling to confirm, later Markus called and confirmed for the next day between 9-10am. That morning Markus called to asked if everything was packed and ready to go, I explained I was paying for them to pack and move everything, he asked how many boxes he needed, I told him I don't know, I assumed Michael filled him in on the specs of the job to prepare. The team arrived on time close to 9am and began packing, I took my toddler to the new place to stay out of the way. Late afternoon they arrived at the new place, I let them in and went back to old place. I walked in, see a shoebox on my stove, it was a Givenchy shoebox from my bedroom closet. pieces of a broken jar of artichoke hearts along with my authenticity card were in it and on the floor my dish towel laying over remnants of the broken jar and artichokes. I understand things happen but to go all the way to my bedroom, take a designer shoebox to put some of the pieces in didn't make sense, especially since my bagless garbage can was was being used for trash by them all day, Markus had no explanation, anyway they had left the backyard items so I came back and told Markus and he sent 2 guys back to retrieve the items. When I came back to the new place I saw my mattress untaped on one side sitting in the dewy grass with a wet stain on the bottom and a dirt mark on the top. living room rug was not wrapped with anything at all and laying in the grass with dirt foot prints on it same with 2 other rugs. just found this to be disrespectful. I called Michael afterwards to voice my concerns. He kept saying "are you serious right now" dismissing my concerns. I hired them to make the move less stressful, instead created more work for me now had to clean my rugs and mattress and my designer shoebox is now garbage. He said "this isn't a big deal". he was defensive and irritated that I was telling him what I experienced instead of listening to understand what happened. I started to unpack, none of the boxes are labeled. The first had a live plant packed with kitchen items, dirt spilled all over, plant dead. another live plant in with my robes, dirt everywhere plant dead robes to be cleaned. In the next picture frames all tossed in unwrapped box not even sealed no glass had broken but a canvas one was scratched and gashed, ruined. Other items not packed well, a basket of blankets in the livingroom weren't put into a box/ bag they were put in the truck as is and must've fallen over as they arrived the top few unfolded and dirty. My travel bags and purses in a basket in my closet were also not boxed/bagged and the leather bag on top has several scratches now. furniture was mishandled- antique side table had its drawer handle broken off and has a deep scratch on it. velvet arm chair cushion has multiple scratches. buffet console's 2 center support legs are missing, despite asking several times where they put them as I have opened every box no response from anyone at CIM. I go back to the old place to clean up, notice items left behind, 1 full and 2 half cabinets, under sink items, shoes, a light and garage stuff. Markus had called asked how they could make this right. I asked for a partial refund to help me offset the expense of the damaged and missing items. He asked that I email which I did on 1/12, since then I have not heard from Michael or Markus despite my leaving numerous voicemails, texts and emails. I've attached photos I shared with Michael directly. Funny they advertise "if you use inexperienced movers that'll just put more work on you" boy that was totally the truth here, not only did Consider it Moving cost me over $1000 in damaged, broken and missing items but also cost me hours of my time in trying to clean, repair and replace the affected items. No, I would not recommend this company. Update 2/6 just realized my brand new computer monitor I had still in the packaging waiting to set up when I moved that was property of my employer is missing... more money I now need to lay out. I messaged Michael, of course no response and also left another voicemail for Markus. Overall I feel as though they took advantage of me as a single vulnerable mother, truly despicable.
