I think the partial method is one of the best for clothes.  Go with that.

It depends on the weight of the Item(s).

If they're heavy enough to register on consignment and an Investigation Is opened, whereby the carrier's records are cross-checked, then the claim will most likely be declined.

That's true. But I think it depends on the country/carrier. In Argentina it seems that they don't check weights, I used the partial method 3 times with 3 different companies and carriers and none of them say anything about weight.
