Thrift2U - How it Works (2024)

Is Everything Really One Dollar?

Yes, Everything is really one dollar. We do charge S&H though. Let us Explain!

So we use a Point Sytem to charge S&H & basically it works like this...

Every category (Shoes, Jackets, Shirts...) is assigned a point value, short sleeve shirts for example are 3 points & Jackets are 10 points.

You only pay S&H ONCE per ENTIRE order for the amount of points you use, then you pay $1.00 for each item.

Rates start at $7.99 for 1-2 Points & go up. As you order more you will realize it is a really good deal for example 40-50 Points is $18.99 25x more points for less than 3x the S&H cost of 1-2 points. Lets say you want a lot of stuff.. 500 points is $64.95 to put this into perspective for you, you could get 165 shirts & only pay $64.95 in S&H.

How it Works

Many have asked, "How are you able to charge $1.00 for everything?" Our answer is always... The point system! The point system gives every category a point value(Based off of weight & size). For example, a shirt is worth 3 points & a pair of Pants is worth 8 points. See below for all point values

We Charge shipping based on the total number of points you use per order. The more points you use the more money you save per item! See above for our full list of shipping options

Let us break it down for you

15 Shirts(3 Points Each)45 points + $15($1 per Shirt) + $18.99 S&H = $41.99 ($2.26 Per Shirt)

20 Dresses(8 Points Each)160 points + $34.95 S&H = $54.95 ($2.75 Per Dress)

5 Shirts + 5 Dresses + 20 Pcs. Jewelry + 1 Purse + 5 Games + 2 DvDs + 1 Pair Shoes + S&H = $63.95 ($1.30 Per Item)
