It would be nice to track your package. I dont even know when my package arrives. Also it would be nice if you could save the clothes to a favorite list so you can buy when you are ready.
By far the best experience I've had shopping online- great selection, and I love that you can view the actual piece you're purchasing. I also love that the company is US based and truly cares about their customers. In a world of big box retailers and mall stores with high markups, ThredUP is a breath of fresh air.
Came when expected. Items are as depicted in pictures and descriptions
The service provided is that of a fine department store. The care of the product, the packaging, and the overall experience is amazing for an online store. The owners did serious homework to come up with this process. This is my one-stop place to shop first!
Very good quality and fast service. My grandaughter was looking for a dress made like that one and when Isaw that I grabbed it up for her.
I really liked threadUP, but I just couldn't help but notice that now the prices for items of clothing that I see on the website seem higher that when I first visited the site. The clothes are beautiful and in great shape. I was very impressed when I got my first shipment. I also don't like the $8 shipping you have to pay if you want to return something.
The shoes I ordered looked fantastic and in superior condition. Just ordered another pair and looking forward to ordering more in the future!
I realize this is a second hand site. With that being said, I am very choosy on the garments I choose to buy. I only buy items that still have tags on them and when the description states the garment looks brand new. Well I ordered a very cute tank top blouse with the description of looks brand new. To my surprise when I tried it on, at first glance it was a perfect fit, I began to look closely and there are tiny holes all over the garment. I can understand one or two small holes, but there were multiples on the front and back. I was so disappointed, especially since I really loved the blouse. I would expect if you give a description that it looks brand new, there would be no holes. I am still giving this review 3 stars because I have bought a few other items on this site and I was quite happy with them. Unfortunately because of the misleading description, now that I am returning it I am forced to pay 8.99 in shipping fees to get back a cash value. This is pretty much the price of the shirt. I am essentially forced to take the store credit instead. I will try the site again and hope it is a more favorable experience going forward, much like the other items I have already purchased here.
Felt a bit misled about the free returns policy that does NOT apply to Hawaii. I don't understand why it's not offered since domestic USPS shipping is pretty similar no matter what part of the US!
Super easy to place order and items are received within just a few days! I love to shop and with the prices offered via ThredUp you can afford to shop for the things you love
I've bought twice from Thred up. Both times it was nice, stylish clothes for my toddler son. Items were in great condition even when it was said in description that the are slightly worn out. All clothes actually looked like new!
I was really surprised with the quality of product and packaging. Even if it second hand store I'm very confident that all of their clothes checked well before reselling, because it really looks like they pay attention to all the details. Packaging is so tidy and cute. It feels like people make it with love:)
I really recommend this store to all thrifty moms!
Fast shipping and all of the items were just as described. I am very satisfied with my order and will definitely be ordering again!
Simple way to enjoy what I luv... shopping. I can go on any time I want and enjoy all the many choices that I get. I tell all my friends about it. Especially when I wear the clothes in front of them and tell them how much it cost and what I saved. They are just blown away.
It's lovely to buy quality secondhand clothes online like this. Very pleased with this service. Well done!
Love ThreadUp! The quality of the clothes, ease of purchase and return, and presention of the packages are all excellent. Find some of my favorite pieces, in my size, quickly and painlessly.
Thredup's website is easy to navigate. The clothing is well described and high quality. The packaging is professional and elegant. I enjoy getting items I want for less as well as supporting local people. I'm very satisfied with Thredup!
Can't wait for my next package:-) the fit was great and items were clean and neatly packaged.
I need some new swimming suits for an upcoming vacation and had a hard time choosing what I wanted without trying them on so I ordered several combinations. The order shipped quickly (thank you) and the suits are so nice, that now my problem is narrowing down what I take!
Love that I can search by so many different criteria - Size, Color, Brand, etc. My things came packaged nicely and looked like new!
Brand names, great quality, awesome customer service. Thred Up has become my go to shopping site for work and play.
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.
