I've ordered twice from Thred-UP. Not disappointed, great value. Both Shoes and Boots arrived as described.
I love what I've ordered so far - everything fits perfectly, is in great condition, and I've saved a tone of money. But the shipping takes ages - the confirmation emails says between 3-8 days, which is bit of a wide margin, but when I track my packages, the delivery time is in the 10-12 day range. I guess I'm too used to Amazon, but the length of delivery time is a bit annoying.
Haven't been disappointed at all! True to size, true to description. Happy camper! I'll keep buying from this site! You're saving me lots of money & I like saving money! Send a coupon if you'd like!
The jackets I ordered came promptly and were exactly as advertised. I am very happy with my order. Thank you.
I found great clothes at awesome prices and I didn't have to rummage through a retail store rack! One item didn't fit - no problem with hassle-free returns.
I have been looking for the perfect pair of jeans. I have searched every boutique and department store. Low and behold they were here. The price was also substatibally less.
I have found the items appear as described! Everything has come in good and clean condition. Very happy with my purchases and plan to return for further good stuff!
I had so much fun shopping and getting my package in the mail. Everything was in excellent condition and my order came quickly.
I joined and received my first delivery a few weeks ago. All of the items were as pictures and described, and the majority fit well. I only ended up returning two of nine things. The price was right, the returns process was easy and I loved shopping for interesting and unique clothing from the comfort of my living room. Definitely going to purchase again.
Really nice clothing. In some cases, upscale items I wouldn't be able to purchase at full price. Very easy. Eco friendly packaging.
My items arrived earlier than expected. I tried them on and the skirt ordered--the fit isn't what I expected, nonetheless I decided to keep since the deal was so good. The hassle top reform return would be wasteful. I'm sure I can find a use for it. No complaints, just the normal when ordering online. I would order again. My only grievance is that my referral discount was going to expire before I was ready to use it. I wish that the time frame were extended or at least 3-6months. I had planned on a much larger purchase and that would've helped. Hopefully that will change in the future.
I've returned items with no problems and quick. Thank you for having this site. I need work clothes and i am slowly finding them
It was so easy to order on line, can see the back and front of the garments, can search by brand, size and other options. I received my order in a timely manner in a polka dot package in the mailbox. Opening the package, I found the beautiful clothes folded and wrapped in tissue wrap with an "Enjoy!" sticker. Everything fit perfectly! Thanks.
I am one very satisfied customer! My previous order was great and this latest order was for a "clean out" kit. It arrived quickly, which pleased me.
There is a large variety of quality clothing to choose from, The delivery is quick and return is easy. What was so very sweet was the packaging and the thoughtfulness it showed. Of course it is a good conscious buy as well.
All the pieces are in great condition as advertised. I love shopping consignment and thredUp makes it easy!
I found this website on Facebook and love it. It's description of the items are accurate and the prices are fair. Extremely fast shipping and packed so nicely.
One sweater was listed as "has some wear." It's a hole in the knit right on the chest. No hiding that. The other sweater was labeled 1x but in reality it fits a woman's medium. That's a mfr problem though. Fortunately my daughter claimed it.
All my items came nicely packaged and in great condition. I love ordering from thredUP. I have recommended to several friends.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. I had antik batik dress, anthropologie clothes, jcrew, christian lacroix, etc. and they trashed the expensive (new condition) brand and listed cheap things. I will not send them stuff again, it was very hurtful.
Answer: Because they essentially steal your clothes and then sell them for a profit. You get hardly any payout, but they gladly take all your clothes and sell them for a big mark up.
Answer: Of course buyers are satisfied. They are getting other peoples' brand-name, like-new clothes that has been stolen by ThredUp. Buying from ThredUp just supports their dishonest and shady business practice.
Answer: I almost always sell on eBay first. Then when I don't feel like hanging on to the clothes any more and just want my closet space back and they have been on eBay for months, I will send to thredUP. I don't even send in that high end of items and I will usually get $16 and up per bag. So to me, it's a last resort, but I usually can expect something even if it's a little. I LOVE thredUP for buying. Use their upfront calculator to see what items they take. They will say 50 cents to 1.00 per item so it is not hidden info. There is always the return option where you can get your entire bag back for $12.99 as well. Everyone who has nice stuff they'd want back should opt for this method always.
Answer: They sent me an email and put the money on my thred up account so I can buy something. I was do disgusted I gave up on the whole thing
Answer: Because I sent in 575.00 worth of clothes and recieved 8.00 in credit, half of them had tags still on them and were high priced items. When I asked for proof why they did not take them in they said they had stains on them. I asked for pics because they were brand new, they squirted water on them and took a pic. It takes a couple months to even get your credit and when you buy womens clothes, half the time I was sent stained or childrens sized clothes, TWICE is a much better company.
Answer: Honestly this company is not choosing to accept a lot of product that could easily be listed. I have sent bags and bags, including valuable pieces... cashmere sweaters, high end items of considerable retail cost and relatively recently produced. When questioned I am given the response that the items were not in as good a shape as they wanted them to be. That their buyers should be able to buy perfect product. My take on this is... if it's a 200 dollar cashmere sweater and the purchase price is under 10 dollars, a few pills on the fabric should be a non issue! Period. I question what is going on, frankly, as many do. Too much disappears with no explanation, many bags go into complete reject status. I genuinely am concerned that there is a story here and may become apparent after a while. Only time will tell.
Answer: Not worth it unless you have stuff priced over $40 and can get 40%. There percentages are ridiculous for lower priced clothes. You can order return assurance for about $12 but be prepared to get a bag back with your items stuffed in like garbage. They do not even take the time to fold things nicely even though you pay for this service.
