Has anyone used/have experience of Age UK and British Heart Foundation house clearance service?

I had the same experience of BHF refusing a good quality item with a very small chip in the veneer, when I pointed out to them that I bought it from BHF with the chip present they decided they would take it after all, then damaged my walls moving it carelessly, they also weren’t all that pleasant overall, so I don’t donate anything to them anymore.  

I now put items outside my house with a note saying free and they always go.  I do live in an area with quite a few student houses, and HMO’s so that probably helps, and I only have one or two items at a time, but maybe worth a try for anyone who only has a few small items to give away.

That’s not good at all. Seems to be a common theme here so appreciate the warning and will definitely avoid.
