$10 Credit for thredUP Online Thrift Store (Name Brands!)

So, I just discovered a really cool and actually useful website, thredUP.com. Basically, it's an Online Thrift Store or Consignment Shop. However, they only offer Name Brand children's clothing in Like New or New Condition. That means there is No Garanimals or Walmart store brands such as Faded Glory.

You can also sell your kids clothing that they have grown out of, if it is name brand and in great condition. They will send you a special thredUP bag that you fill up and send back to them. The bag comes with a postage paid label. You don't have to pay to ship them the clothing. Also, the better the name brand or item you send in, the more money you get paid for the items.

OK, here is the good part. Sign up HERE and receive a $10 Credit off of your first purchase. The $10 credit should show up automatically at checkout.

There are some cheaper items on there. I was able to score 2 pairs of jeans for my son that were $4.99 each.

thredUP is currently offering Free Shipping during the month of October. Use the promo code SHIPOCT12

Here is the the one catch that I found. For your first order, you CANNOT combine the $10 sign up credit with the free shipping promo code.

Update: I received my order and ended up getting it practically FREE! One of the pairs of pants I ordered had a sticker on it the said OOPS! Freebie. Apparently, the pants were not to thredUP quality standards and they credited my card for the price of that pair of pants. However, the pants were in like new condition. I could not find anything wrong with them. I could not find a tear, snag or stain anywhere on them. This turned out to be a pleasant online shopping experience.
