Schoola

Not overwhelmingly pleased with the purchases I have made - difficult with their photos to see what you're actually getting size-wise and quality wise. Need better measurements. Buyer beware on purchases though I have had about 25% of items that have been decent enough for me to wear... the other items I simply sent back to them to fundraise for my school system... more on this ahead.
My biggest frustration with this company comes from when I sent in items to raise funds for my childhood schools. The first time, items processed in a timely manner, most items accepted and a small amount was raised.
The second time, however, was a fiasco. I sent in a full bag of some of my nicest items that I no longer wore, and items from Schoola that didn't fit/weren't what I expected. I reinforced it with tape just in case to ensure all of my beloved items were used for fundraising, not lost in transit. I believe it was somewhere from 8 months to a year until it was processed AFTER they received the bag (it had a tracking number). There was much emailing with the company to get an update. When this was said and done, they accepted two items. Just 2. These were gorgeous articles of clothing, some new with tags, and others they deemed good enough to sell to me the first time around. When I inquired with the company as to why they said the bag only contained 2 items. Not true, especially given the care I took to tape it up and the weight on file with the mailing company and no notice of damage by them. Perhaps you lost it over the course of 8+ months, Schoola?
Schoola stole from not only me, but the menial funds that would have been raised for the school system. Its quite shameful, actually. Do not trust them with your items!
As far as the funds actually raised, they are menial. Best to have a local yard sale - you'll make more.

I've only bought, not donated as a fundraiser. Less than impressed with their quality, QC and so on. Many items are listed incorrectly; i got two sweaters I'm pretty sure are men's, listed as women's. Items listed in "good" condition really were crap; pilled, stretched out, covered in stains, etc. I wouldn't donate anything like that myself. Jeans listed a Levi's were Denizen, a low end brand made by Levi's exclusively for Target. Not that its bad but NOT what i thought I was getting or was listed as.

First couple of times, i just let it go. Last one, I let them know, they refunded me and gave me credit. Going to complain again, not so much for the credit, but to let them know they need to work on being more accurate. If they give me credit again, I'll use it, and move on. Just not worth it when more than half of what you order is crap and unsuable.

I sent in 3 bags FULL of great quality items and waited and waited and waited for ANY response. I asked customer service how long it would take to see well, any activity, and they told me it would take 2-4 weeks. Ok. It took 3 months to get a single item listed. There were 5 items in those bags which retailed for more than $160 and yet, they weren't even listed. Ridiculous. I thought I was helping my children's school, now I know better. I'll never send anything else in. Don't waste your time. Also, the quality of the items are a joke. I spent over $60 on one order and for the quality I got I could have paid $10 at a garage sale. Sorry, but you failed.

I orders 4 items for my grandchildren. Two are in very good shape BUT the other two are dirty and one is more then 'gently used'. I have very mixed thoughts about the company. IF, and I mean IF I ever order from them again, I will be looking at items that are 'new and have tags'. It's a great idea what they are trying to accomplish, but they really need to have more quality control if they want people to trust them and repurchase again.

Got a Referral Credit from a friend so I decided to give Schoola a try. Received my order today and received 3 items that were WOMENS sizes when they were clearly listed as Grade School XS ((double checked the order receipt as well)) Including a Dress that was supposed to be a GRADE SCHOOL GIrls XS and its a Womens XS. How can you confuse this? Really? The quality was meh... Two of the items listed in Good condition had spot stains on them as well. So they will be used for play clothes. I will stick with Thredup or Flipsize.

The main problem I see is that there are only three categories for condition (New with tags, Good, and Blemished), and there seems to be a very wide range of what counts as "Good". I ordered all Good condition clothing; a couple pieces looked like they may never have even been worn but two had obvious piling and two had holes (and one of those also had pit stains). That means that almost 50% of my items seemed like they should have been marked as "Blemished" instead of "Good".

Luckily I had gotten all the clothes for free (new member + created a closet + 50% off code = $60 for free) so I can't really be too disappointed. I would have been more disappointed if I had paid, and I don't think I'd try them again since I don't trust the quality of the items I would get.

Had the same problem as Karen. My order came in 2 packages, still missing two items that I bought and have emailed them 3 times about the missing items with no response!

I've bought from them several times and sent in 3 bags of clothes. I've never had a missing item and most of the items I've purchased have been decent quality. I've been disappointed by a few things that were really dingy, stained, or faded, but for the most part my purchases have been good. I'm more concerned with what's happened with clothes I've sent in. About half my items never showed up online. I see all kinds of garbage listed so I know they aren't picky about what they take. It was some of my better items that never showed up online, so where did they go? Also, it says I've earned over $100 for my school and yet months after I sent my items in I got an email saying a check for something around $30 was going to my school. So, where is the other $70? It's been about a year now since I sent my first bag in and 6 months since I sent the other 2 bags. I'm not being impatient.

I have placed a couple of orders with Schoola. The first one I received no problem. The second I never received. And there is no place on their site to check order status. Luckily I used credit and am not out any money. Still a bad practice to not send an order with no reason as to why.
