Thrift+ Updates

Our current Thrift+ Status is 🟡 - our donors are currently experiencing longer than normal wait times for their ThriftBags to be processed. thrift.plus/pages/status-p…

@Nicole_Wellman Hi Nicole, we are now accepting donations into the warehouse - sorry for the confusion here! We look forward to receiving your donations :)

@wearethrift I received an email to say it’s still suspended? Ordered a bag to donate 2 weeks ago :(

Our doors are now open to donations again and we have resumed Thriftbag dispatch! thrift.plus/pages/status-p…

@Heleni08 Nice... We will discuss as a team and ponder what is the best approach. Thank you!

@wearethrift Maybe u could put items up for a finite time & if they don’t sell the donor owes £1 for each item that doesn’t sell, 50p to cover costs & 50p to go towards their chosen charity. Most people donating will be doing so for charity, not to make money so they should be fine with this?

@wearethrift just been looking through ur for sale items, there’s 30pages of items £5 or less which means none of these items will be donating anything to charity when sold. Shouldn’t items min price be £6 so people’s charities at least get something? How do u price up items? Thx

@timbo995 @SaraDaviesCC @joe_thrift @TejLalvani Hey Tim. Without breaking the illusion too much, but there was a bit of clever editing there.. We can assure you that Joe was very respectful in his negotiations!!

@SaraDaviesCC @wearethrift @joe_thrift If I was in your shoes I think I would have been a bit annoyed with him asking @TejLalvani to match the 10%. But then very pissed off when he then had the cheek to ask you to lower your offer after getting knocked back. Maybe that's why I'm not a business man 😁

A great end to the series - and a cracking business @wearethrift and great entrepreneur @joe_thrift - get on the website and get a bag ordered and have a clear out!! thrift.plus

@RNLILiverpool @SaraDaviesCC @joe_thrift Brilliant!

@SaraDaviesCC @wearethrift @joe_thrift Hi Sara and Joe, sent for my bag, great idea!!

@TappendenSue @SaraDaviesCC Hey Sue. That sounds absolutely awesome. Exactly what we love to see. We do need to charge a fee so that we can pay for our warehouse and staff - hopefully it means we can grow and grow to make an even bigger impact ...

@SaraDaviesCC I run an annual Edit sale for sellers to sell their high end unwanted clothes. They pay to put them in the Sale. All that £ goes to Hospice plus entry money takings. Seller gets all sales money. Everyone happy. And buyers can try on items to select. No third parties. Better?

@RebeccaKMC @BBCDragonsDen @joe_thrift Yeeehah! Thanks Rebecca 🙌

@BuytaskerCEO @SaraDaviesCC @joe_thrift Hi Mick, Thanks so much for the kind words & enthusiasm. Definitely some teething issues with the 10s of ks of visitors, but all sorted. They cut the bit where Joe said '33% back to the you' as Thrift+ credit or John Lewis vouchers..

@NEFamilyFun @genuineplacebo @mrsfrancioli That's exactly it Sam. **Any** charity can now raise funds from their supporters second-hand clothes 🤗 I hope we can really help your local farm.

@genuineplacebo @mrsfrancioli @wearethrift I think it's a fab idea too. The charity I would like to donate to (a local farm) don't have a charity shop associated with them so it will work well for them

Well, watching Dragon's Den and I LOVE the concept of @wearethrift. Get rid of your old clothes, get some money back and donate to charity whilst helping to build a business so in time even more can be donated to charity. Love it! #dragonsden

@bjmason91 See you soon!! 🙌

@bjmason91 Hey Benjamin, sorry for the slow reply. I think you mean for shopping on our site? Yes we charge £3.95 for delivery. And there is no minimum order amount. Hope that helps!

@frazer_land @BBCDragonsDen @SaraDaviesCC @CRY_UK Thanks Frazer. Household name here we come!!

Just watched @BBCDragonsDen and seen a fantactic buisness & idea @wearethrift this company will be a household name in 5 years & raise loads for charities who are really struggling at the minute. Great pitch and smart investment by @SaraDaviesCC Im sighned up Lets go @CRY_UK

@SincereMoments @SaraDaviesCC @joe_thrift Hello Carole! Fair comment! We will be picking up our Twitter game from here on in. Please do follow us on instagram if you are over there too @we_are_thrift

@LNewman63578495 @SaraDaviesCC @joe_thrift Hey thank you so much for your patience with the website on Sunday night. 80k visitors is more traffic than we normally get over the course of 12 minutes!! Happy to say everything is back up and running :)

@SaraDaviesCC @wearethrift @joe_thrift Hello Sara the Thrift+ website isn't taking donations it keeps showing an error you might want to have this looked at please

@kevinsvips @SaraDaviesCC @joe_thrift 🚀🚀🚀

@SaraDaviesCC @wearethrift @joe_thrift How is this business going ?

@notosingleuse Thank youuuu 🙌

Great business on dragons den last night, Thrift+. A great counter to the fast fashion industry, allowing you to resell your old clothes and donate to charity. Great idea, @wearethrift.

@Heleni08 Unfortunately not all items sell before they reach our £5 minimum. This is under constant review though so we are very open to hearing your thoughts about how we might be able to approach things differently, while making sure we can cover costs. Thanks!

@Heleni08 Hey Helen! We completely agree - we don't accept / upload any items for £5 or less because we want to make sure that charities benefit from every sale. These items that you see for £5 will have been slowly discounted to help them sell.
