Smart Shipping, Sustainable Packaging & Easy Returns

Shopping for baby clothes from different retailers and resale websites can quickly become wasteful and overwhelming, even when you’re trying to avoid waste. Different outfits will ship from different companies and places. This also means a lot of packages and boxes cluttering your home. It creates extra work as you need to break them down after use and put them to trash. Now add to it potential returns and the fact that the next size (and shopping spree) is right around the corner!

At UpChoose, we always try to reduce excess before it gets created. By preparing curated sets of essentials for each stage of growth, we radically limit the number of shipments each member receives as their little one grows. On average, an UpChoose member receives 4 shipments over the course of a year. By focusing on bundles that we swap at each size change, we create a simpler, streamlined experience for our members and avoid the huge amount of waste and packaging usually associated with e-commerce. We know how precious time is for new parents, whether it is to catch up on sleep or to spend quality time with your fast growing little one. With UpChoose, you spend less time shopping and dealing with packages, and more time on what matters most!

We’re mindful of the excess that accompanies the textile industry as well as the increase of wasteful packaging from the ecommerce industry. Between 2015 and 2020, US parcel volume doubled from 10 billion to 20 billion. Despite the increased discussions and interest from consumers about sustainability and the environmental impact of packaging in recent years, most ecommerce companies and business owners continue to ship products that are wrapped in single-use plastic packages or cardboard boxes, leading to insurmountable amounts of waste and clutter.

By receiving your UpChoose kits in reusable mailers, you're helping use less energy, reduce single-use plastic waste, and lower your carbon footprint. You can have peace of mind knowing that your UpChoose sets will instead come in an eco-friendly package and help your family be more sustainable. The LimeLoop team estimates that every 150 shipments with a reusable mailer save 13 thousand gallons of water, 1 tree, and 3 gallons of oil.

With UpChoose, you’ll never receive your orders in cardboard boxes. All your sets come in a reusable mailer made of recyclable materials and include a prepaid return label. Each LimeLoop mailer is made of upcycled billboard vinyl and lined with a blend of hemp and recycled cotton and can be reused over 200 more times. It's a friendly packaging option that is not only great for the planet and helps reduce waste in landfills, but it's also very durable and sleek.

Your entire experience is simplified and facilitated with reusable packaging. You can easily swap your kits without the need of finding new cardboard boxes, plastic mailers or print any labels. The good news is that you won’t ever have boxes or extra packaging cluttering your house!

Babies grow fast and in many instances, clothes are only used a few times, resulting in overspending, clutter, and waste. UpChoose is a great way to reduce decision fatigue and make your parenting journey easier while preserving the environment. You receive 100% organic baby clothes curated from premium brands and delivered in sustainable packaging at each phase of growth. Every time you participate in the UpChoose model, you support creating a sustainable alternative and a world without styrofoam peanuts, bubble wrap, and an abundance of shipping boxes.

From the moment you start using UpChoose, you’re choosing to support ethical manufacturing processes by supporting GOTS certified brands, to implement sustainable habits through our rental program, and to reduce waste by contributing to a new shipping model where packaging is reused. You become an active part of a model designed to reduce waste and clutter while having a positive environmental impact on our planet.
