Dear Adventure Avenue,
As part of my Decluttering 1000 Items Challenge, I sent another box to ThredUp. This time I chose an Athleta Partner Kit, as opposed to the Gap one I did the first time. You can read about that one here. I have also sent in an Athleta Partner kit before, so you can read about that one here! Next time, I want to try a Madewell Partner Kit.
ThredUP
If you don’t know what ThredUp is, it’s basically an online consignment shop. You can order a clean out bag to send in your clothes (though right now they only have shipping labels which is great because you can fill up a giant box, as long as it’s under 30 pounds). I liked how ThredUp makes shipping your items easy! If you’re interested in ThredUp, you can sign up through my link and we’ll each get $10 to spend on their website.
What I sent in
I sent in 42 items (well, 43 if you include the one item they gave me credit for, but I didn’t send in).
What they Accepted
They accepted 24 items of those 43! The biggest of these ‘sales’ was an Elie Tahari 3/4 sleeve blouse that they gave me $10.12! The most surprising sale was the 32 Degree sweatpants which weren’t in the greatest condition, but they gave $6.38.
Payout
I selected the Athleta gift card which came with a 15% boost. I received $57.70 plus my 15% boost brought me up to $66.35.
Timeline
I sent my order on February 28, 2022, and it arrived on March 10, 2022. The order finished processing on March 14, 2022, but my gift card was not sent until March 16, 2022. This is still very fast considering the wait times on the website say it could take up to 12 weeks to process.
Conclusion
All in all, I was very happy with my experience with ThredUP. It was fast, convenient, and I ended up with a good payout! If you’re interested in ThredUp, you can sign up through my link and we’ll each get $10 to spend on their website. Let me know how your experience goes down in the comments if you try it out!
Sincerely,
A
