I understand that AMVETS and others serve a good cause, but the frequency of calls for donations is ridiculous!. I had my new phone less than 24 hours when I first started getting calls. They knew my name, so the cable company must've sold subscriber lists to solicitors.. anyway, they call at least once a week if not twice. \t\n\t\nCombined with other charities, my phone rings every day sometimes multiple times. I have nothing to give! Please stop! I gave once, they never picked up..... I ended up taking the boxes to goodwill three days later. ...read more

Amvets called ME to ask for anything I could give. They emphasized that they would take any castoffs. I agreed to leave a donation. The day before the pickup they called again to remind me, and I asked if they picked up mattresses and box springs. They said "yes." I had just purchased a new mattress set and needed to get rid of an old one--so I dragged the old set to the front porch and left it with other donation items. When I got home that afternoon they had taken everything EXCEPT the mattress set. They left a note saying that they would not take "torn or stained" mattresses. Well, there were NO tears or stains on the mattress or box spring. There was evidence of wear on the bottom of the box spring--but no tear. I called and complained. It was 3:00PM. I won't go into what I said, but they said that the truck could not return for two days. Since my new mattress set was being delivered in two days, I told them to forget it. It is easier to pay the store delivery service an extra $20 to pick up the mattress than to ever deal with Amvets again. Not worth the effort. ...read more

You guys should be ashamed of your selves by representing our Vets because you are not. The driver that came to my house alone would have not been able to even pick up my stuff and put on the truck with out some assistance. I saw him taking pictures then he left without taking anything. I called the office and was told that my sofa had a tear and that they it was unable to be sold. ...read more
