I have been checking out thredUP lately. I have signed up and am filling my first box to post. The concept is to fill a medium flat rate Priority Mail box with clothing that your child has outgrown and then list it for free on thredUp. You can search their lists of boxes by gender, size and season and pick one that you would like to receive. You only pay $13 (S&H) for a box. You can upgrade to a Pro account for $29.99 a year to get first dibs on boxes and get in on their "Golden Threds" boxes. For Golden Threds they have boxes of new specialty goodies from retailers and they disperse them in their listings for you to find.
When you sign up for an account thredUp will send you some Priority Mail boxes and you can schedule the post office to pick up the ones you are mailing. The process seems much simpler than taking clothes to a consignment store. You may not be able to get cash for your kids clothes but you know you would spend it again on kids clothes anyway! So give thredUp a try and get rid of all of those stacks of outgrown clothing.
