I've been using pickupplease for several years. Theyre one of the few places that still takes toys. As my child grows ive donated outgrown toys and clothes as well as other household items. Everything donated needs to be in good shape. I leave out 5 or 6 large trash bags each time and they always arrive as promised and pick them up, even in the rain. Never missed a pick up and they always are respectful of property. The donations are sold and the money goes to veterans. I will continue to use them. read more

Awful! The first time I used this company I was standing outside with the garage door open. The driver drove right past me than a minute later I got a call from the company saying that the driver couldn't find me. I literally explained to dispatch that I was standing outside the second time I got an email saying they would be here from 8:45 to 11:45 AM. I got a call at 8:02 that the driver had been at the gate, which is a lie because there is no gate and that he was already on his way. Dispatch does not know what they're doing in. The drivers are lazy. Do not use this company. There are better ones out there. read more

I had a very good experience With this company. They were pleasant and courteous on the phone and the young men who picked up my boxes were very respectful and careful. I was emailed first thing in the morning with a window for arrival, and when they had an issue finding my place, the office called for directions. i will definitely use them again. read more

I suppose I find myself lucky after reading all the other reviews about pickup place. I have never had a bad experience with them. Been using them off and on for the last few years and the convenience of having somebody come and pick up large amount of items is really helpful for me. All of my scheduled pickups are done online and always within the time frame they give me. read more

Horrible people - use someone else. I cleaned out my mothers apartment when she died and had them come to pick up a big pile of donations. Everything was easily liftable with one hand. Nothing broken, some things still sealed, nicely boxed or bagged. Driver took about half of it. I called the 800 number and the genius that answered said that it wasn't clearly marked what was for pickup. Hmmm. You went through the pile and took about half of it. How did you do that if you didn't know what was supposed to be picked up. Will never use again. Wouldn't surprise me if they only give pennies on the dollar of what they sell to charity. read more

What a "SCAM" organization, in my opinion. I was under the impression from their web site that they donated all items to the needs of people in need unlike other organizations that filter the majority of items to the dump. We unfortunately left an Apple AirTag, by mistake, in a perfectly good suitcase and now that suitcase is in the Oregon City Dump. We've donated thousands of dollars of items to them. We now wonder where they are or what they have been used for. Shame on them. read more

this please is a total waste and scam. everyone who works there are also extremely lazy and won't even try to knock when they are there for a pickup (all my stuff was outside and labeled). it's as if they do the opposite of supporting the vets read more

I love these folks! I've used them for years. They have a store where they sell donations to fund programs for vets. They also pick up things from my porch, which I appreciate. read more

They're not just shady. The website shows a VA address but the UPS airbill says NJ. I have been trying for months just to get a receipt but I've been ignored via phone, email, and website contact form. Research better than I did before sending your belongings to what you believe is a charitable organization when it's just a sham. read more

I have been using this organization for 16 months and did not have any issues u til recently. I scheduled a pick up that was missed. When I called to inquire about it, the representative told me that the drive p put in the system that they picked up 1 bag from house and had the time noted. I advised that I did not have a bag, I had a box and I described the box and told the rep that it was still on my porch. he rescheduled for the the next day. Received and email of the window of arrival. However in camera I saw a young lady on my porch picking up my box and I figured it was pick up please. 4 hours later I received an email that I was the next stop and then immediately 2 men were knocking at my door from pick up please. Do note that only one guy always shows up to remove my box or boxes with a dolly so I was puzzled why 2 men approached my door without a dolly and my pick up in the system was 1 to 3 boxes, my usual amount. They just looked at me when I opened the door and I said it was already picked up by a lady and I have her on camera. They said nothing and handed me my tax slip for a write off. I called it in and the rep said they put it in the system saying that I cancelled the pick up . So the missed pick up was in the system as a pick up and the re scheduled pick up was in the system as a cancellation. And after all of my pickups a lady decides that come on my porch twice speaking spanish on the phone with someone so I could not understand the exchange. Really seems fishy and um I won't be using them again. read more

See all

Horrible company - stole items off of my front porch that were not labeled and then never returned calls. We had bags clearly labeled for pickup and they cleaned out my front porch taking everything that was not labeled. Ridiculous service - I will NEVER NEVER NEVER USE THIS SCAM of a company again. Read the recent reviews of what they are doing. read more

Shady organization! They claim to 'attempt to contact you' but this is a LIE! I don't know if they treat the drivers bad, but my belief is these guys are lazy as all get out, they will find ANY excuse to NOT pick up your items, even if they are clearly marked and put exactly as required. It's pathetic, and a waste of everyone's time! If you take the time to walk up to somone's door to strategically place a placard on there, how about ringing the door bell and use your big boy words and ASK if you don't know!! It just can't get anymore absurd than this excuse, when there is literally NOTHING else on the driveway EXCEPT donation items, you're going to claim you don't know what goes? Give me a break! Do your job & stop being pathetic and lazy!! read more

I arrange for a Tuesday pick up at Moms the week of Thanksgiving. Mom had two big boxes of household items that were too heavy for her to lift so I put them out on the front porch. Mom took out her exercycle and decided to donate that as well. When the gentleman came my door the ring doorbell captured him picking up both boxes at one time carrying them to the truck. He then returned and laid a receipt and a note on my front porch. The note said that the exercycle bike was too heavy for one man. Now this guy looked like he was in his 30s she is a 68 female with arthritis in both knees and I carried it out. The website does show that it will except exercise equipment. I could understand if he had attempted to lift the article but he did not even try. read more
