For those who have been to Germany: What websites are good for getting furniture upon arrival from those who are leaving?

Facebook market place for the post you will be going to. Or on post PX. Have fun in Germany! I am trying to get back there as a duty station I loved it for the 9 months I was there. Its an amazing place, go out see all that you can.

In the Heidelberg Military Community, we had a Recycle Center. Good source for furniture, power converters, house hold items, etc

USAG Bavaria directs you to Free Cycle and the Thrift Store.

Government housing has ‘rental furniture’. Normally you call and have them pick it up when your HHG arrives, but we kept ours the whole time. If you don’t have anything, don’t worry - just know their mattresses are very different.

Bookoo.com is a good place to start.

This is a fantastic question. I’m heading to Germany as well. I will definitely be looking into this.

There’s a “take my stuff” page on Facebook, and of course, the community thrift store on post.
