    hard to make an honest dollar in the gig economy these days…good to see that Uber is providing free clothing as a perk to its drivers!

      TBH, with the prices charged in some Op shops for used clothing, one could be excused for having a look in the package before delivering and maybe swapping out a couple of items.

        Rural OP shops are where it's at, at least price wise. Practically new name brand shirts for pocket change, blu-rays for $4, DVDs for $2. $60 kitchen equipment boxed new for $10. Still VERY pre-owned k-mart blank stuff that's $6 new, for $4 though.

        • FujinShu on 11/10/2023 - 05:39

          Whereabouts in rural areas are good places to look for cheap op-shop stuff?

          • formulated on 11/10/2023 - 09:06

            @FujinShu: Victoria North west in my experience (starting volunteering at one today in fact). But you don't have to go that rural for Ballarat where there's a heap that are still very reasonably priced. $8 newish leather Chuck Taylors, $6 brand name shirts, rooms full of books & DVDs. Plus, they still run $5 bag sales, colour ticket sales, half price sales etc.

            • pandafyed on 11/10/2023 - 10:11

              @formulated: I saw some chucks in an op shop in Elsternwick for $40… They weren't even in great condition…

  • bleemo on 10/10/2023 - 13:54

    Does anyone know if there are places that recycle linen?

    Thank you 😎😁👏!

    Just a question for thought. How do I know the Uber driver won't open the box, choose what he/she wants and reseal box?

      Would it matter to you?
      If it does, you could always donate via a charity bin of your own choosing, at any time.

      You will know because next time you get an Uber or Uber Eats and they will be wearing your clothes.

      They already eat a few of your chips, you have an issue if they wear some of your clothes too now?

      I guess at the end of the day, you are still helping those in need.

      Can we donate politicians?

      • T-Quizzle on 21/10/2023 - 09:34

        The Poli’s r too good at recycling shit policies and shit at recycling or anything that would improve the climate disaster.

  • icarus255 on 10/10/2023 - 21:53

    I hope some of these go to the poor bastards in Gaza.

      Why should we help people who voted for a terrorist organization? Voting for Hamas is like voting for the Nazi party. They both want to exterminate Jew-els.

        I'd love to see who's killed more civilians. The Israelis or Hamas?
        The way the Israelis are indiscriminately bombing the civilians in Gaza makes the Russians look like angels.

      • morse on 14/10/2023 - 06:03

        The majority of Palestinians did not vote for Hamas. They got the highest number of votes but we’re not voted for by the majority of people. And even those who did vote don’t necessarily agree with all actions of hamas, the same way I don’t necessarily support everything the Labor party does even though I voted for them.

    • morse on 14/10/2023 - 05:52

      So the actual clothes don’t go overseas. The clothes are sold in the Red Cross op shops and the proceeds fund humanitarian responses and programs. Whilst Red Cross has an international disaster fund, I believe proceeds from the store go to programs within Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

    All I’m seeing is innocent people on both sides being slaughtered.

    Indeed there is a way to deal with Hamas by not destroying Gaza and killing people. They have billions spent by Mossad, you think they cant eradicate hamas. They keep it ongoing so the financial budget keeps giving and infiltrate hamas to provoke israel and start a war to make more money. Its not Black and white anymore guys ….open your eyes.

  • Stopback on 21/10/2023 - 09:15

    404 not working

    Edit: working now

  • sajidmib on 21/10/2023 - 09:19

    Doesnt work anymore, ask for payment method only when you pay $67

  • pipe on 21/10/2023 - 13:07

    As mentioned by others, these clothes won't go to people in need. They get marked up and sold in op shops that are run to turn a profit which get eaten up by admin costs. They ride on their brand name to get free donations and volunteer labour.

  • ireadtermsofuse on 21/10/2023 - 15:12

    Wife and I just cleaned out both our wardrobes and it’s so much neater.
