Once your Sell With Us spot is confirmed, you’ll have 7 days to prepare and send your box.
(You’ll receive an email with all the details on how to organise your courier pick-up once your spot is purchased.)

📦 You can use your own sturdy cardboard box. Box size allowances vary depending on where you’re sending from, so use our Box Size Calculator below to check your box before booking.

💡 If you’re local to Auckland, you can also drop off your box in Royal Oak.

We’ll then handle everything - photographing, listing, and selling your items for you on The Thrifting Den.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ We receive and process your items.
2️⃣ Each accepted piece is photographed, priced, and listed on our website (usually drafted into our upcoming drops).
3️⃣ Items remain listed for approximately 2–3 months, with a final two-week sale period at 30% off to help clear remaining stock.
4️⃣ You’ll receive weekly payouts as your items sell throughout this period & access to an online portal to track it all.

💡 If you’re local to Auckland, you can drop off your box in Royal Oak — or if you have bulk quantities, you’re welcome to send more at your own cost (just email info@thethriftingden.com first).

Payouts are made weekly as your items sell - there are no upfront payments.

We offer 2 payment options

1️⃣ Bank Transfer:
💵 Paid every Monday via bank transfer for the previous week’s sales.
• 50% or 40% of the sale price - for EUC / Like New / BNWT condition
- see accepted brands list for what brands payout what percentages

🩶 Items listed as VGUC with minor flaws receive 20% less than the above rates. (ie. a 50% payout now becomes 30%)

2️⃣ Store Credit:
🎁 Issued every Monday as store credit - credit lasts for 12 months.
• 70% or 60% of the sale price - for high-demand brands in EUC / Like New / BNWT condition

🩶 Items listed as VGUC with minor flaws receive 20% less than the above rates. (ie. a 70% payout now becomes 50%)

💬 Payout rates vary by brand - please refer to the Accepted Brands List for a full breakdown before sending your items.

Example:
A $40 Hux item = $20 payout (50%) via cash or $28 (70%) via store credit.

You’ll also have access to your 24/7 online vendor portal to track your listed items, sales, and payouts anytime.

All items are priced by The Thrifting Den based on brand, condition, current RRP and current resale demand.

We carefully research recent sale data and comparable listings to ensure every item is priced fairly and competitively. Our goal is to balance great value for buyers with fair returns for sellers.

📣 Selling through The Thrifting Den means your listings are shown to thousands of second-hand–loving parents across New Zealand - a niche audience actively searching for quality kids’ clothing.

💸 Items in premium brands and best condition will achieve the highest resale prices and payouts.

🩶 Items with minor flaws or obvious signs of wear are priced lower to reflect their condition.

Unsold items are included in a final two-week clearance period at 30% off before being processed as outlined in the Unsold Items section below.

✨ What You Can Expect to Earn:
Earnings vary depending on the brands and condition of the items you send - but many of our regular consignors have made thousands through this service.

• High earners typically make $3–$4k, with our top earning reaching over $10k by regularly adding to their consignments.

• Most single-box consignments earn anywhere from a few hundred to over $1000, depending on brand mix and condition.

• The better the brands and the better the condition, the higher your payout.

• Items from less sought-after brands or with flaws will naturally earn less and be harder to rehome.

Every sale is tracked through your online vendor portal, where you can see pricing, payout rates, and weekly earnings in real time.

Before booking, please note that not all brands are accepted for this service. You must check the Accepted Brands List to ensure your items qualify before sending.

We accept a curated selection of quality kids’ clothing from prem up to size 10 years, as well as children’s footwear and a very select list of ladieswear from approved brands.

⚖️ Minimum Requirements to Use This Service
You’ll need to send a minimum of 15 “Yes” branded items (as per our Accepted Brands List).
• Accepted “Maybe” brands do not count toward the 15.

🧺 Condition Requirements:
All items must be:
• Freshly washed including footwear - no dirt or marks on footwear & no musty storage smells from unwashed clothing
• In brand new, like new, or excellent used condition (EUC)
• Free from stains, holes, pilling, wash fade, or other flaws aka zero flaws

🩶 Any items accidentally sent with minor flaws will be listed at a lower payout rate.
🚫 Items with major flaws will not be listed and may be returned at your cost.

📖 For full condition definitions and examples, please see our Condition Definitions Guide 

💬 Tips for Sending:
• Examine items during the day in natural light - small marks or flaws can easily be missed under artificial lighting.
• If you wouldn’t buy it preloved or gift it on, it’s probably not right for this service.

We have a strong sell-through rate of 90%+, meaning most items sell during their consignment period - especially sought-after brands in amazing condition.

However, sometimes not everything sells, and not every piece will meet our acceptance standards.

Here’s what happens when items remain unsold or can’t be listed:

🩶 UNSOLD ITEMS (End of Consignment)
After your 2–3 month consignment period and final 30% off sale, you’ll be given three options:

1️⃣ Donate through Sunday Seconds & Dead Stock Sale
All unsold items will be included in our Sunday Seconds & Dead Stock Sale, with 100% of proceeds going to Nurturing Families - supporting families in need across New Zealand.

2️⃣ Have your items returned
We can return your unsold pieces to you at your own cost. Return shipping is charged based on package size.

3️⃣ Sell to The Thrifting Den at Closet Cashout pricing
We can purchase your items directly from you at Closet Cashout rates, based on the original full listing price (not the discounted sale price).
View brand payout rates here: Closet Cashout.
Brands not listed receive a 10% payout.

🚫 FAULTY OR NOT ACCEPTED ITEMS
If items are found to have flaws, damage, or unaccepted brands/sizing after inspection, you’ll have two options:

1️⃣ Return the items
Items can be returned to you at your cost - return costs can be deducted from your payout.

2️⃣ Add to a Seconds Sale
Faulty items may be added to a future Sunday Seconds Sale to be rehomed affordably.
Please note: any proceeds from these sales are retained by The Thrifting Den to cover processing and Shopify fees to rehome your items & keep them from landfill - there is no payout for these items.

💬 We handle all unsold and unaccepted items carefully to ensure they’re rehomed responsibly and nothing ends up in landfill.
