Hi guys!
It’s been awhile since I posted…but today I wanted to share my experience with ThredUP! I love clearing up my room and passing on items that I don’t find useful anymore. I use Poshmark a lot and have found pretty great success in finding new homes for some of closet pieces. However, there have been some pieces that just can’t sell and in desperation to send them off, I stumbled upon ThredUP! You request a “selling kit” and they send you a large plastic big with a prepaid shipping label. After washing and folding the clothes, you can send it along to thredup! My first took about two weeks to get there and an additional 3 weeks for it to get processed. During this time, the people at ThredUP sort through the items, take photos, and makes listing for the ones they consider “sellable” with prices they come up with themselves.
I sent a very large bag and these are the items they took on, click here.
I earned 29.33…but they were a LOT of items so I only made about 0.20 to 0.50 cents per item. They accepted 32 items, which was 67% of my bag.
I was pretty surprised at the actual items they accepted…some that I was sure they would toss but I wanted to see what they would take. For each item, they also mark what was “used” or brand new. Their opinions on some of my clothing shocked me. There was a dress that I had never worn, but they considered it to be used, whereas as older items were considered “perfect condition.”
Overall, thredUP is perfect for the items you’re ready to part with, with no remorse! You also have the option go having unaccepted items returned to you via post for a fee.
