Thred Up – Sell your Kids Clothes

Do you have children’s clothes you no longer need? Here’s a new option for you.

ThredUp

You register for a free account here.

Click over to order a Thred up bag.

You will need to use a credit card to request a bag. They will charge you a deposit fee of about $5.00. Occasionally, you will go to order your bag, and there will be a deposit credit (meaning you won’t even have to put a deposit down!). This deposit will be credited back as soon as they recieve the bag.

Wait a few days to receive the huge bag in the mail.

Once you get your bag, you fill it as tight as possible with your kids outgrown clothes.

They will not accept Faded Glory or other lesser name store brands. You will get the most credit for the higher end brands – Justice, Old Navy, Gap, AE, etc…..

Once the bag is stuffed, you take it to your local UPS pick up location. Office Depot in Danville accepts pre-paid packages. You can just drop it off at their desk.

You don’t pay a penny for shipping.

It will take about 2 weeks for them to get the bag and sort through it.

You will then get an email where they will make an offer on your items. I sent in a bag a few weeks ago and just got an offer for about $40!!! I was thrilled!

You can then use the money to go shopping on their site. (If you are smart, you can save enough of your credit to even pay the shipping for your next order!). Here’s my review of my shopping experience.

OR you can reuqest to cashout and get paid to your paypal account!

I actually ordered my 2nd bag and can’t wait to start the process again!

I do not like it now that you changed the way you do things. :(

Best idea ever,buying so many clothes seems fruitless when they grow out of them so fast.

Wow, I’ve never heard of anything like this. It’s a great idea. I’m betting I’d make more money doing this than having a garage sale.
