Love the way you can shop for what you are looking for at thredUP at bargain prices. I bought a Old Navy jacket that I own in a different color for a fraction of the price!
First experience with thredUp was great second time same as first! Items came in timely manner, early even! And products just as described! Very happy.
Clothes were as described and we had a speedy delivery with standard mail. Always love my clothes from ThreadUp
I had forgotten to add a 10% discount that I had to my order. I sent an email asking if they could add it after the fact. I received a quick response and the discount was applied. Thanks thredUp!
I like the idea that you can buy used clothing online. One problem is it same to take a long time to receive your order. When I finial received my order I like the fact the everything was reusable.
Thank you

I love the items I have received. And I have saved a ton of money. I hate that our clothes fill the landfills with trash. I love the items I have purchased on this site. I wanted to see what kind of mechanise I received before selling my own barely used items. I am impressed!
The purses were as described, and in very good shape. One had a small rip at the zipper, but shouldn't be a problem. Love the value for the price!
I have now ordered twice from thredUP and I love it! The clothes are high quality, and the pieces I have received are new, some with the tags still on; yet, the price cannot be beat! I saved so much money! I will definitely be back!
My first time on the site I found great designer clothes at good prices. Now it's seems that the site is filled with clothes from Target and other low end brands at prices you could find in store. It's almost impossible to find anything of higher quality since you can't filter out the cheap stuff.
I doubt I'll be back.
My thred up bag was filled with higher bag clothes and I received a $16 credit yet I saw my items listed for prices that would make a huge profit.
Try this. Save and expand your wardrobe. I've ordered twice and am very pleased.
I love the site and the app has a lot of tools to narrow your search makin it very easy to find what you need.
This has nbeen the second time I have shopped with threadup.com. I enjoy know I will get exactly what I ordered and it's processed and mailed out quickly. Customer service has show to be very helpful and handled my order with curiosity.
Clothes are inexcellent condition. Only thing helpful would be to know if a size is running large or small. I've had to send back items that would fit in other brands and this is the only hard part about shopping for clothes online
I tend to choose the like new or with tags on options and am very pleased with the quality and packaging of the clothes I receive.
I had an issue with my purchase and the company addressed all my issues and I am very happy with the resolution.
I love everything I have purchased from thredUP (all maternity items), and will definitely purchase again/recommend to friends. However, there were issues with my last shipment. One of my items is missing from my box (although it is listed on the packing slip they sent with it). I logged in to the site to send a message, but see now in my orders that they removed that item and credited me. Would have been nice to be notified in some way that I was not going to receive one of my items! No idea what happened or why I am not getting that item, but at least I am not being charged for it.
I love it! Overall its been a fantastic experience. I've had to return a few things because the sizing is way off on some items but that's really not a fault of the site. They make returns super easy. I love it!
I have ordered or bought from thred up several times I am pleased with the prices and quality and service
It's sometimes a hit or miss with thredup. I've come to the conclusion that it's safest to buy "new with tags" items to avoid any major disappointments. Shipping was fast. I wish they would list all the measurements for their clothing so people would feel more comfortable buying things.
I'm really liking it, I just wish it wasn't so expensive to return an item. I know you get a credit if you choose, but it is kind of a deterrent to buying more for me.$8.99 is close to the amount of some of the articles I'm buying. Other than that I'm pleasantly surprised with the service. I like the convenience of shopping online as I don't have a lot of time to shop at stores and knowing that name brands is what is mostly stocked, the clothing I'm buying fits almost flawlessly.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
