Give it away. Ship it on. Waste less.

Craigslist is a bulletin board where prices, meetups, and shipping are whatever the poster types. Gift N Thrift is free classifieds for donated goods: the item is always $0. Pickup is truly free. If you want it shipped, postage is an all-in auto-calculated quote from packed size and ZIP codes, plus a $2.99 service fee, and donors get a written receipt. You are not haggling over a couch in a parking lot — you are claiming a gift.

Same neighborhood of intent — used furniture, kids’ gear, kitchen extras, clothes, even cars — but a different deal. Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp are selling apps, and Buy Nothing groups are pickup-only in one neighborhood. Gift N Thrift works anywhere in the United States. Gift N Thrift is for people who would rather give the thing away than list it for $40 and six lowball messages. Pickup stays $0. Claimers who want a coat or pair of shoes shipped cover real postage; furniture is pickup only.

Probably not, and we do not promise it. Gift N Thrift exists to keep good things out of landfills. You can download a simple record of what you gave and when for your own files, but it is not tax advice and not an appraisal. Ask a tax professional about your situation.

Only if the claimer chooses SHIP. Then they pay all-in auto-calculated shipping plus a $2.99 Gift N Thrift service fee. Donors never collect a shipping fee and never type a dollar amount. Pickup claims are truly free: $0 shipping and $0 fee. Vehicles require pickup. Donors list for free.

Yes. Pickup is always an option, and pickup claims are $0 shipping and $0 service fee. The donated item is $0 either way. Vehicles — free cars, trucks, and other rides — require pickup and cannot be shipped.

When someone claims the listing (pays SHIP, or confirms a $0 pickup), Donate / listings in your office unlocks a downloadable record of the handoff (item, condition, date, and that you received $0). It is for your files, not tax advice. Mark the package shipped and add tracking from the same screen, or note that it was picked up.

The donated good is $0 on every listing and every order. If you pick it up, you pay $0 shipping and $0 fee — truly free stuff. If you want it shipped, you pay all-in auto-calculated shipping plus a $2.99 Gift N Thrift service fee. Donors do not pay to list. Postage can be modest for a coat and expensive for a dining table (dimensional weight is real).

A church or other organization can share a code such as /r/sotf. When you publish a listing with that code, Gift N Thrift owes $1 to that organization’s charity. The dollar comes out of our $2.99 service fee — we do not raise the claimer’s price, and we do not charge you to list. The pledge keeps going for future listings with that code. It is our pledge, not your tax write-off. Organizations can create an account at /signup/organization.

Yes, on every claim that collects the service fee. When a claimer pays to ship, Gift N Thrift gives $1 of the $2.99 fee to a church or charitable organization. Pickup is $0 and does not fund a dollar. A church code sends the dollar to that partner’s charity. A paid claim with no code still counts: the dollar goes to the Gift N Thrift charity pool. The item stays $0. We do not add the dollar to the claimer’s bill, and it is not the donor’s tax write-off. Organizations can sign up at /signup/organization. How codes work is on /churches.

By Stripe transfer, once a month. Around the 5th, Gift N Thrift pays each church, organization, or sales rep for everything earned through the end of the previous month, straight to the bank account they set up with Stripe from their portal (/church or /rep). Stripe collects the bank and tax details; Gift N Thrift never sees the bank account number. The minimum payout is $25. A smaller balance rolls over to the next month. A refunded claim is taken back from the next payout. Until automatic payouts are switched on, the office pays by hand.

Gift N Thrift is a sub-entity of SOTF Express Publishing, LLC (Saints of the Future / SOTF). SHIP checkout charges all-in auto-calculated shipping plus a $2.99 Gift N Thrift service fee, charged by SOTF Express Publishing, LLC. Pickup does not charge a card. Card statements may read GIFT N THRIFT. There is no separate Gift N Thrift merchant account.

Yes. Photograph the coat, shoes, or kids’ clothes, let AI draft the listing, choose SHIP or PICKUP, and publish at $0. Claimers looking for free clothes, free kids coats, or shoes can take them locally for $0 or pay the carrier to ship. Boys’ and girls’ clothing have their own aisles under /categories.
