thredUP Reviews Summary

ThredUp's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, particularly regarding the selling process and customer service. Many users report feeling misled about item valuations and processing times, leading to frustration over perceived exploitation and lack of transparency. While some customers appreciate the variety of products available for purchase, issues such as delays in shipping, inadequate communication, and poor handling of returns overshadow these positives. Overall, the sentiment leans heavily towards disappointment, prompting many to recommend alternative selling methods and express reluctance to engage further with the company.

Amazing finds for your money
January 18, 2021

I like that you don't need to go to a Garage sale or flee market to buy amazing pieces and I like that you can also return it.

Always fun
January 14, 2017

It's always fun to get the thred up box in the mail! The items I've gotten have all been in good condition. One item of clothing has an awkward fit, so I may return it. It's the first item I had to return, so I'll see how that goes. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with what I have purchased.

Great prices, fast delivery!
January 13, 2017

I enjoy ordering from threadUP because it's worry-free shopping! If something arrives and doesn't fit or looks unflattering on me I know I can easily return it for free. I love a great bargain, and there are plenty to be found. Also, they measure each article of clothing which takes the guesswork out of otherwise confusing manufacturer sizing.

Great finds
January 13, 2017

ThredUp is easy to use and is a great place to find awesome deals. Items come to you in a pretty box, with thredUp tags, wrapped in tissue paper, packed with care. Items feel new, but at a fraction of the price!

Love the concept
January 18, 2021

Shopping from ThredUp is like going to all the consignment, thrift and garage sales across the US and picking the best pieces among all the rubbage. I love that they take in the goods and do a generous analysis to decide if the item is sellable and price accordingly. I have never been disappointed with items I've ordered for me or the kids. Find the prices on the kids clothing could be a little better to align with the market, but overall I think the prices are not bad. Will definitely keep shopping here for my family.

So I got turned on to Thredup this past Fall and I am now on my 12th pair of awesome shoes that I've ordered from Thredup! I'm definitely hooked! The shoes I've purchased have either said, "looks like new" or "have some wear". To be perfectly honest, even the ones that say "have some wear" look like they were hardly ever worn. In my opinion, Thredup under promises and over delivers with their merchandise every time. I am beyond thrilled each time I receive my aqua box on my doorstep. And I love their "upcycle" concept of reusing the box and the tissue paper. Cheers to promoting "green."

I ordered 2 pairs of wool pants. One pair was exactly what I expected and I love them. The 2nd pair was obviously incorrectly listed as they were far from being "wool" pants band because they were final clearance, I can not return. Not sure I will order again from your website if I can not trust your description as listed...

HORRIBLE
January 12, 2017

THIS COMPANY SEEMS LIKE A TOTAL SCAM, I SENT THEM CLOTHES THINKING I COULD MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH BEING A BROKE COLLEGE STUDENT, BUT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY INFORMATION ABOUT A PAYMENT AND YET ALL MY CLOTHES THAT WERE LISTED SOLD, SO THEY GOT TO MAKE THEIR MONEY, BUT YET I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SINGLE PENNY!

This company has me mystified... after reading all the negative reviews I decided to proceed anyway (mainly out of curiosity.) I sent in about 150 nice items (absolutely NO damaged/stained/worn looking items) in two HUGE bags. They accepted 7 items and even after two have sold and the others are projected to sell I will be getting a big fat $0. As far as I can tell, the company seems to be preying on just about everyone to get their merchandise, and that just isn't right and it's downright Un-American. I am planning on contacting the Better Business Bureau and I urge everyone else who has been ripped off to do the same. This company is not providing a legitimate service, under any kind of business model. So sad and so wrong...

I love the clothes.
January 12, 2017

Overall, I like thredUP, but it's difficult for me to determine how the items will fit based on the photographs provided. Basic measurements are often available, but a couple items I ordered looked form-fitting in the photo, only to arrive and be quite loose/flowy. I still like the items, so I kept them, but I feel the photos could have better reflected the style of the clothes.

I love Thred Up! Shopping couldn't be easier. And the styles and selection couldn't be better. I have purchased casual outfits and cocktail dresse looking like a million dollars for pennies. I tell all my friends about this app.

I sent in a huge bag of designer clothes, most of which they rejected ( which is reasonable since I dont expect them to spend time and money listings items they dont believe will yield a return). What I am not okay with is the way they split the proceeds on the accepted goods. In my case out of the 7 items they listed, I was given upfront a paltry $11.00. Then they went on to sell those 7 items pocketing approximately $60.00 more. Basically the split was 16% for me 84% for them. Can anyone say downright rip-off! I was under the impression the $11.00 upfront payment was payment 1, and that I would continue to receive additional monies as my items sold ( the consignment payment). Unfortunately thats not disclosed in the fine print. The upfront payout which is meager is all the money a supplier is given. Alternatively they may not even give you that and instead just put you on consignment. Even with that option you still only get a paltry 16% split. Either way you get hosed. Thredup however will go on to send you emails about how all your clothes are selling so well ( and how they are continuing to get rich off all your hard earned stuff). Once you realize you're not entitled to any of these proceeds, these emails only serve to further aggravate a person that you didn't just list them yourself on ebay in the first place! It would have actually been a great concept had it worked the way I originally envisioned. I mean who wouldn't love watching your stuff and profit balance simultaneously climb! Sadly that is not the deal here at all! Although I do like the sites concept, and I would shop here as a buyer, the ratio split for a prospective seller makes the premise of burning your clothes for fossil fuel a more attractive option than donating them to these shysters so they can grow rich off your hard earned stuff. If your expecting to participate in a fair business arrangement and to actually receive a reasonable split for all your hard earned stuff ( like 50/50 or at minimum 60/40. LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Waste of time.
January 11, 2017

I submitted a very large bag full of good quality items, some never used. It took over a month for them to process the bag. They accepted 30 items and my payout was only $4.95. What bothers me is that they have sent me emails saying 7 of my items have sold. I made about 15 cents per item. Waste of time. I would have felt better donating these items to charity.
