Suitcases for Moving (Lochend EH7)
Hi everyone! I’m looking for a few large suitcases or travel bags to use for moving house. They don’t have to be perfect — just clean and in usable condition, with working zips and wheels if possible. If you have any you no longer need, I’d be very happy to give them a new home. I can collect at your convenience. Thank you! 🙏
