    These guys had to climb 3 flights is stairs to reach the junk. They were quick and efficient. The…read moreprice was extremely reasonable.

    We had to dispose of an upright piano prior to a move, and I called around to 4 local junk…read morecompanies for estimates, including Got Junk. The other 3 quoted me in the 500 dollar range, understanding that it might change a bit depending on the labor it would take to get it out. Given that it was on the first floor right in front of an exit and on wheels, I wasn't that worried. When I spoke to the Got Junk woman, she did inform me that they didn't give official estimates on the phone. I told her I understood and, since we were on a time crunch, asked if she could give me a ballpark for what it generally cost for people to get rid of an upright piano? She said $450. Based on that, I booked them, recognizing it to be on the low end of the range the other companies had quoted. I figured that even if it went up $100, we'd still be in the right range. When the people arrived for our appointment, the person saw the "for sale" sign in front of our house and the first thing he asked was when we were moving. Then he looked at the piano and said "Oh, a big boy, huh?" Given that it's just a normal sized upright piano and not a baby grand, I knew we were in trouble. After looking at it for a minute, he started pointing at pictures on his clipboard, saying that it would be $650 for the base cost, plus X dollars for space on the truck, plus X dollars for an additional fee, and the whole thing came to $1,100!! We declined, voicing our displeasure in what felt like a bait and switch, and they went back out to their trucks. A few minutes later, the manager calls and says that he heard it was a "little high" for us. After pointing out it was more than twice the price, he said the woman shouldn't have given us a quote. I told them that is for them to figure out, not us. Plus, if the other junk companies were quoting $500, what possible reason could there be to charge over 1,000? He then said that the lowest they could do is $600-$650. While this sounded better, given that they dropped the price by almost half, it made me suspect (even more) that they were trying to take advantage. In the meantime, my husband was on the phone with a scrap metal collector who took it for $280. So we said no. Obviously, we didn't have the easy experience they claim in the commercials. It's not as simple as you point and they take. There is a lot of haggling involved.

    I had an excellent experience with ReSupply today. I scheduled them for a pickup to donate a chest…read moreof drawers, long dresser, two night stands and a recliner. They texted me in the morning with a smaller window of arrival time for the afternoon pickup and then again when they were 20 minutes away. This was very helpful so I didn't have to spend all afternoon waiting for them to come. The two gentlemen that arrived on time were professional, friendly and very careful removing heavy furniture. The cost came in right around the estimate that was given. Overall it was a very good experience and I highly recommend using ReSupply.

    Do NOT use this service if your goal is to ensure your furniture is actually donated…read more ReSupply markets itself as a donation pickup service. What they don't make sufficiently clear is that after they arrive, collect your furniture, and charge you, there is no guarantee your items will be donated. You may also be charged "recycling fees" if the charity allegedly declines the item. In my case, I scheduled a pickup for a nearly new Pottery Barn bed frame purchased in April and a drawer chest in excellent condition. The assigned hauler (Big Rich Hauling & Junk Removal in Sacramento) was scheduled to arrive between 8 AM and 12 PM. They showed up after 2 PM. Because I had another furniture delivery arriving later that day, I had little choice but to proceed. I was then charged a disassembly fee to remove four screws separating the headboard from the frame. More importantly, this was when I was informed that there was no guarantee my furniture would actually be accepted by the charity and that recycling fees could apply. After pickup, I was told the bed frame had been rejected and recycled. What I was NOT provided: * Documentation showing the item was declined. * The reason it was declined. * Any paperwork from the charity. * Any proof that the item was recycled. I was simply told it happened. My receipt also raised additional questions. The recycling line item showed a quantity of 1 and a unit price of $10, yet I was charged $40. When I contacted customer service, I was refunded only $10 and told the bed frame had been rejected. However, I still have not received a clear explanation of how the $40 recycling charge was calculated in the first place. What makes this especially frustrating is that I have used ReSupply before and had positive experiences. The service I received in 2026 was nothing like the service I received in prior years. In my previous experiences, the process was straightforward and focused on donation. This experience felt focused on fees. Consumers deserve transparency. If an item is rejected, show the rejection. If an item is recycled, show the documentation. If recycling fees are charged in "$10 increments," explain how those increments are calculated. If a receipt shows a quantity of 1 and a unit price of $10, explain why the customer was charged $40. Instead, customers are expected to pay hundreds of dollars and simply trust the process. I paid over $250 to have furniture picked up. Had I known there was no guarantee of donation, that additional recycling charges could be imposed after pickup, and that I would later have to question the fee calculations, I would have hired a traditional junk removal company with transparent pricing from the start. I have attached photos of the furniture and the receipt so other consumers can review the condition of the items and the charges for themselves. Use extreme caution before scheduling.
