here's how it works...

1.

Purchase a thrifty clear-out kit from us. You will then be prompted to create an account with the thrift store so you can keep track of your items and what's sold

2.

A prepaid, addressed courier bag will turn up at your doorstep. Fill your bag with your items (our bags can fit up to 25-35 items depending on size of garments). We only accept items which are washed and in excellent condition! Please read through our terms and conditions for more information on what we accept

3.

Once your bag is ready to go, let us know, and a courier will pick-up your pre-loved treasures. After that we’ll do the rest! Your items will be photographed, measured and listed on the website. Once sold, you will receive 50% of the sale price - that's it!
