Specialty Boxes

thredUP is making it easier than ever to "stop, shop and swap" anywhere, anytime. With our new "specialty box" feature, parents can browse, pick and list boxes flagged with costumes, sports, gear, dance apparel and more. It's yet another way thredUP is helping you find perfect matches to conveniently swap out the old for the new.

Here are some Specialty Box Highlights:

Green your Halloween

thredUP has extended their eco-friendly swapping platform to kids Halloween costumes. Children outgrow clothes every 3-6 months - needless to say, kids' costly costumes are worn only once and typically tossed the following year. This fall, recycle your kids' outgrown costumes and get ones that fit in return!

thredUP's Halloween Costume Swap works like the regular service - just a little scarier!

Build and list a box containing an outgrown Halloween Costume - be sure to flag it as a "Specialty Halloween Box"
When someone picks your box, send it free of charge (thredUP sends you empty flat rate boxes at registration & even schedules home pick-up!)
To find a costume for your child, browse boxes of kids clothes flagged as "Halloween Boxes" - pick one you'd like to receive. Pay only $9 + shipping & the box is sent right to your doorstep.

*thredUP's Costume Swap will run throughout the month of October.
