No Shows

Dear Member, This is a gentle reminder, if you say you will pick up an item, please follow through with the transaction. That goes for both OFFERS and WANTEDS. If you cannot pick up the item or you change your mind about wanting an item, please be considerate to the gifter and at least send them a courtesy email (or phone call) to let them know of the cancelled transaction. Waiting for something that won't happen isn't very fun. Put yourself in their shoes if you are considering becoming a no show.

When someone posts an OFFER, they are gifting an item to the community member who responds. It's inconvenient to say you want something and then fail to follow through with a pickup. Please don't do it. Word does get around and if your name is mentioned, you can be certain that you will be called out eventually. If there are no shows, please let us know. We do not want this to become a widespread problem.

On a brighter note, there are Freecycle(R) members who are consistently polite in both giving and getting, and are mindful of their P's and Q's in all situations! We thank you for that! Let's continue with keeping this wonderful gifting community both friendly and free of no-shows!

Thankyou for your consideration The Northampton North & Central Freecycle Moderation Team.
