That is ... encouraging, I think. But considering the referring partners, I'm not sure a person needing delivery will have a way to get the items from the curb to their living space. I wouldn't.

My view is a little jaded because I am living in a small town where people come to retire, and when they downsize or die, all their goods go to a centralized thrift store run by all the local churches. Much more efficient operation (not 15 storefronts), but it means they get a glut of stuff, so their stuff is really (really really) inexpensive, and they supply into-house delivery for also a dirt cheap fee.

When we left Vancouver, I knew the Church's Thrift Store existed, so I didn't bring a lot of furniture, to save on the moving costs. I refurnished our living room, dining room, and some of the TV room for less than $100.00 (and that includes delivery because we waited until we had a bunch of things).

The furniture bank charges a fee for delivery, but only to the curb, so you'd need to hire someone else to get it further. Not easy.
