    i would peronally send an email to the person asking if they are coming to collect tonight and if not will they take it tomorrow. If you don't recieve a reply by tomorrow am offer it to the next person.

    That's what i always do now.

    Not sure if this is in the right section but please move if need be.

    I offered an old fron toor on freegle and had 2 replies so contatced first 1 to reply and offer it to them and suggested to time to come and collect, well that time has now been and gone, should i leave it until tonight before i offer it to the second person who replied ?

    i would obviously contact the first 1 to reply and say as you hadnt collected it its now been offered to someone else

    thanks
    Personally I try to arrange a collection time with someone before giving them our address. Makes it easier to then offer to someone else if they go quiet on you.

    I just had to share a response to my offer of two power drills.... "They still there lady?"

    Err... I guess he is not going to get a reply from me.

    I only give my items to people who can bother to say hello, please, thank you and an idea of when they can collect.
    Man plans and God laughs...
    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.
