Goodwill in the states does this, but you have to wait in a long car line for an hour to donate, so it isn’t hassle free. But we’ve been there a few times with toys and some furniture.

I guess this varies by region. I've never had to wait more than a couple minutes to make a donation at any local thrift stores.

Ya, the one we go to has a large service area that is densely populated, so on the weekends the donation lines get pretty long.

Couple minutes? I've never had to wait at all

At all the Goodwill's I've donated at, I'm always the only one there at that time. Just drive up and unload immediately
