The usual procedure for Freecycling is to pick up what you want, not expect (or offer) delivery. However there was a recent opportunity to do some real good AND get rid of a bulky, unwanted item in a way that honored one of the kids it had belonged to long, long ago. So we made an adventure out of a day off, and delivered it, and helped get it into the home we gave it to when it turend out that the recipient would not be able to handle it, physically-- we already had it on a dolly so it left the van still strapped on to that, and went neatly up the stairs and into the kitchen.

I like other flexibilities that Freecycling offers, too. We belong to several regional groups that are beyond our home-range but within our travel-through range, so dropping things off is actually helpful for us because that way we can get rid of more stuff. :~) And more quickly.
