These are sample messages you could send to a member, e.g. after they leave negative feedback because of a no-show.

Dear Freegle member

I'm sorry that a Freegler failed to keep an appointment to collect your item. Would you like us to follow it up?

We can investigate if you like, and could then issue a warning. We can ban members who do this often and without good reason, so it's worth reporting.

You could also leave a "thumbs down" on that member, so other members can be warned.

I hope you'll try Freegle again and have a better experience next time. Unfortunately there's little else we can do about people who express an interest but don't follow through - a certain amount of time-wasting seems inevitable.

Kind regards,
