The old saying that kids grow like weeds is such an understatement. We all know they grow much, much faster! All this growing usually leads to bulging closets and major expense as you replace their wardrobes. Wouldn't it be great if you could just exchange styles with other parents? With thredUP, you can. Unlike any other resale or consignment service, thredUP allows busy parents to order free shipping boxes, fill them up with gently worn kids' clothes, then post the box, along with a brief description of its contents, on a moderated online bulletin board. When a box is purchased, you just ship it out. Buy and sell easily without ever leaving home. And each seller is reviewed, meaning you can trust that what you are buying is truly what you expect. Boxes average 10 items and prices begin at $9 per box plus $10.95 shipping, which works out to about $2 per article of clothing.
