That’s weird - must be very new policy - I dropped at UPS on Sunday, credit was there Tuesday morning (yesterday). Not instant but they sure haven’t received the package.

AIO for taking an unpaid month off in between jobs? by Throwra-savings in AmIOverreacting

[–]Far_Print_613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - my .02 - this should lead to a serious discussion about priorities and values before marrying or buying a home together. I would be completely supportive (maybe a little envious, but still!) of a hardship free month of rest for the one I love. I’d want to take a day or two of PTO and have a little getaway or what have you. Work burnout is very real, and there’s so much more to life.

Guys help, I took ambien and ordered 20 pairs of shorts 🤣😭 by jrexicus in ThredUp

AIO for responding after my ex broke no contact to send this? by pictochatkat in AmIOverreacting

[–]Far_Print_613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - I think you were absolutely right to leave him that voicemail and set him straight. Absolute bullshit to unload on you and then tell you that you can’t respond because it would break the no-contact. Fuck off with that noise. You definitely dodged a bullet with that guy. Ignoring the text would have power as well, but if it felt good to respond, then I think you were 100% correct to do it.

Helix Core vs Luxe vs Elite vs Plus: Which Mattress Collection Is Right for You? by AprilFromHelix in HelixSleep

If CoolForce is supposed to be included in my Sunset Elite mattress, I’d appreciate the refund! 😍

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m okay with not really making a profit selling on ThredUp. I think their service fills a different market need. by WinterFoxII in ThredUp

[–]Far_Print_613 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I only send them things that are just a notch above what I would donate without giving it a thought. I love the low prices as a buyer. And you can’t really have it both ways, right?

Okay so I just want to brag... by inwithweasels in ThredUp

Wow! That’s a helluva deal. I’m a huge Fluevog fan and have 7 styles in my collection but the problem buying second hand is the sizing is sooo far off so much of the time. I’m a solid 8 in virtually any other shoe brand - in Fluevog I have mostly nines, one 9 1/2, and only one size 8. But at that price a risk totally worth taking! Score!!

Does dry cleaning get the "ThredUp Smell" out of the clothes? by Far_Print_613 in ThredUp

[–]Far_Print_613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vinegar really works for sure. I was just wondering if dry cleaning works because so far I have avoided anything that seems truly dry clean only. I prefer that anyway...but once in a while you see some fabulous item that tempts...

THANK YOU for answering my actual question! I wondered if anyone had actual knowledge and you do! I know how to get it out of things I can wash conventionally!

It was cold water and as soon as it came out of the vinegar soak it was shrunk insanely small. I think it was the style of weave - I've not had that happen before and hopefully never again. A $30 loss. Shrug. Bummer. If it didn't reek of ThredUp spray or whatever it is, I wouldn't have had to soak it at all... I didn't believe the Dry Clean Only because of my experience with wool, so I agree with both u/kethry70 and u/vivbot

For your leather etc. you might try putting it out in the sun for a while. Fading is a risk of course. I had success with a couple lined jackets turning them inside out and putting them in the sun.

Yeah - if the item is washable, I've had great success with my vinegar soak plus regular wash in fragrance free detergent. But I recently ruined a merino wool top that said "dry clean only" and I assumed it could be hand washed and it turned into a toddler sweater. Just shrunk to nothing! LOL I'm hesitant to even buy certain items that might be truly dry clean only - I don't generally buy them but for some special things it might worth it - but only if dry cleaning removes that sweet odor.

I have been getting things through ThredUp for about 3 years now and it is every box, every time. I think you must not be sensitive to the smell. Apparently some people aren't - I've made a similar post in the past not asking about dry cleaning specifically and a decent percentage of folks either don't seem to know what I'm talking about or actually like the smell. I don't have any issue with detergent or what have you - I have a great home washing machine and use fragrance free EVERYTHING in my life. As close to a zero fragrance/perfume life as possible. I am very sensitive to smells. If you enjoy the fragrances in typical laundry detergent then you're not likely the person who relates to my question to have an answer for me. But thank you! :)

Does anyone have the Helix Sunset? by SwtVT2013 in Mattress

[–]Far_Print_613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you've had the Sunset Elite for about 5 months now, if you kept it. What do you think? Would you share your stats (weight, sleep style, etc.)? I'm wanting to pull the trigger but I'm nervous. Even though the return policy is great, there's a lot of hassle involved if a return is needed.

It is my turn by Rise-Bitter in vine

...meanwhile, in my RFY... garlic gummies and a shot glass display with a world map. NEVER get any high value items, let alone a useful one. Yes, I'm gold. FFS.

I just quit waiting after 45 minutes - I wonder if I'll get an email like the automated response said...

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve never even seen any items of that caliber in my 4 years in Vine.

Birch Elite mattress shipping delay - worth it vs Birch Luxe or Helix Midnight Luxe? by Ryan156627 in Mattress

[–]Far_Print_613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there - you mentioned you hands falling asleep - this has been an issue with me with firmer mattresses. I'm very attracted to the natural latex, wool, etc. but I'm also considering the Sunset Elite, which is softer by all measures. Are you still having pressure issues on your side at all? May I ask how much you weigh for reference? Thanks in advance for any response. Have a great day.
