I have ordered a few items from Thred Up. They are packaged so nicely I feel like I'm getting a gift every time I open a package from them. Items are quality, unique and appear just as they do online. I'm so happy I found Thred Up!
Everything arrived in good condition and on time. Can't wait to see how everything fits!
Great quality items wrapped with care. Fun to open!
I went on looking for used leotards because my daughter is trying dance and finished with a seemingly never worn leotard for her and a beautiful Banana Republic sweater for myself. As a bonus I found $4 tap shoes in her size, which she has been clicking around the house in, just delighted.
Loving this site. Two orders so far. Very happy with my purchases
The photos on the site are exactly as pictured and they are shipped promptly.
What a great idea! The best part is if you don't like it or it doesn't fit then you can return it at no cost and have credit to use next time. Great name brands, I've found a few new brands I would buy again. And the purse selection is fabulous. The way the box arrives is super cute too, you can tell someone took some time to fold your item just right so they fit just right in the box with the tissue paper.
Thank you for another great order filled! I'm hoping you will expand into young men's! My son is growing out of the children's sizes.
I love ThredUps amazing prices, fast shipping, and easy to navigate website. I tell all my friends about the site and love that by buying my clothes second hand I'm doing good for the environment (and my wallet!). Thank you ThredUp!
I love my purchases from ThredUp - and I love reducing my footprint on the planet by recycling clothing!
I've just recently found the site & have already ordered 3 times-maybe I better start having my neighbor receive the pkgs. I LOVE IT!
ThredUP's service is very convenient but I wish the shipping fee wasn't subtracted out now from earnings (I think this is new?). Bags take long to process but they say that's improving and I'm sure it will in time. Overall payout is not much but better than nothing. Not sure if I'll continue or just donate but for the bit I've earned I've been averagely satisfied.
Ordered a pair of shoes. They arrived on time and were exactly was i had expected. The shoes are in great shape. They look brand new! And i got them for way less that in the department stores.
I have sent a few bags to ThredUp and I know that they claim to be very particular about the items that they will accept. However, the item I received had a bleach stain on the left arm and TWO spots of dried food on the right. The sweater was only $6.99 so it isn't worth it to return and pay the $8.99 return fee. Really disappointed
Excellent! Love the clothes, prices, and packaging! I love that I have my own profile for my type of clothes! I love that I can shop from my couch too Bc I have 2 small toddlers and it's tough to get out with them!
I ordered a pair of keds and they just cancelled my order with no explanation. I think they owe me some kind of explanation.
I appreciate the value and service however I am unable to get the free return shipping label because I am a DPO and they "Do not ship internationally." However a DPO address is a continental US address, and was designed for foreign service and military to be able to have their mail so the government pays to fly their mail to and from a US address. My other clothing services, such as Stitch Fix, that I order from understand this and it's really disappointing that Thred Up does not :(
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
