Help! I've had 25 new handbags delivered I didn't buy. Where can I donate them?

[sage2021]

No homeless shelters want them. People say not to donate to the Good Will because they are ripping people off.
I didn't order them. I was scammed. Help! I don't know what to do with them.🤷🏼‍♀️

Donate them to some charity you think will aid someone. Dress for Success is a charity around here that has low priced outfits for women going to work in corporate situations who are new to their field and lower income.

I don't know if it's nationwide, but ask around your area to find similar charities/501 3 c s. There is also Salvation Army. Look up Charity Navigator. They rate charities according to how much CEOs are paid, what percentage of income goes to the target people served, etc. Check that out before you decide not to donate somewhere.

There are also charities that serve women coming out of prison and back into society. Look for something like that. Those are people truly in need and a lovely purse would make their day! Good luck.

Return them to the sender. I'm sure they would like to get their merchandise back, because you weren't the only one that got scammed.

[sage2021]

@NoDecision

I would love to do that except I don't know where they came from.
There's never a return address and no packing slip inside.🤷🏼‍♀️

[NoDecision]

Well, enjoy your gift then. Someone you know may need a new handbag. Spread the cheer.

Hi Sage, would these be from Amazon, if so , and assuming you haven't already done so, you need to make certain they weren't charged to you, my roomie had this happen, she recieved a ton of stuff addressed to her , and she found out she'd been charged for it.
ANYWAY are there thrift shops where you live, goodwill, value village, they would probably take them, or maybe women's shelters, if there's a hot pink one I need one to go with my new pumps... just kidding. Hope you find somewhere to take them

@listen good
There's no return address on any of them and no paperwork inside the package so I have no idea who's sending them to me and charging me for them.🤷🏼‍♀️

[sage2021]

@listengood
I sent you a message here

[Iron_Man]

donate them to me so I can sell them lol 😂 Joke

[sage2021]

@IronMan
Believe me, if I only had the money to pay for shipping I would send them ALL to you and you could make and keep the money.
Shipping is just so darn expensive these days. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Iron_Man]

why don’t you put an ad on Facebook and sell them yourself and keep the money

[sage2021]

@Ironman
I just closed out my Facebook account. It was unmanageable.

[Iron_Man]

oh i see

[Iron_Man]

Thank you for most helpful award

[Iron_Man]

@sage2021 Rerun them to the sender, Sage. If you can't do that, take them to Salvation Army and write them off on income tax

[Vevv123]

Return them, they possibly delivered it to the wrong person. 🤔

[sage2021]

@Vevv123
They didn't get shipped altogether at one time. They come every few days for months now with no return address and no paperwork inside.🤷🏼‍♀️

[NathanDavis]

post them on socials... market thing

people will show up and get them

[Anonymous]

Why would homeless women need handbags, to store their used heroin needles? Lmfao. Sell them.

[Surely]

How about having a yard sale?

[Surely]

Maybe donate for bingo prizes. If there are any bingo events nearby.

[exitseven]

Can you sell them on eBay?

[sage2021]

@exitseven
I think eBay and Wallymart is where the problems started. They buy them from outside sellers in Hong Kong and once they have my card number they go crazy with it.
There's no return address on the label and yes, I was charged for them.
I'm surprised a women's shelter won't take them for the homeless women, especially the ones that have kids for their paperwork, etc.
Good Will started charging as much as Wallymart for their stuff and I want them to end up somewhere someone really needs them. 🤷🏼‍♀️
