BHF wanted to charge a family member £1300 to clear about 10 items from 4 small rooms in a property. Bed, Sofa, Chairs, Cupboards.
.
Family went to a local house clearance company and paid £750 for the same service, and got proper waste disposal certificates too.
.
BHF priced themselves out of the market place, IMHO. |

"British Heart Foundation plans to close 150 charity shops
BHF pays zero for stock and pays no business rates
What hope is there for the rest of the retail economy if they can’t make it pay. "
With the rise of Vinted and whatnot I guess it was somewhat inevitable. I used to buy my daughter's clothes from charity shops but her tagging along with me was a pain as well as being time-consuming. Far easier ordering from the comfort of your sofa than perusing their wares in shops. Plus they're seen as greedy I've heard compared to similar stores. I'm not sure how true that is though. |

"Good we just need Turkish barbers mini marts laundrettes to close down make the high St worth walking down to many of them not doing anything good for local community."
Of course they won’t close because they are almost all fronts for organised crime. |
