I ordered some pants and they were at my doorstep in a few days. Very reasonable. I've ordered something else and I'm planning on sending some of my clothes to them.
It doesn't really work that well for me. Not knowing how much would be taken or not I opted for the return of the items not purchased. Did this a few times and in the end, Lost money on the deal. I had purchased a little over $100 in merch, returned half (I have a 9 year old). That sat in a credit for a month or two. After the processing of my bags and the return shipping costs for what wasn't purchased, I lost most of that original almost $50 credit to shipping costs. So... in all. It isn't worth it to me. Thanks. I will just buy and sell locally. Its better for our economy that way anyway.
Well, I bought clothes, and they arrived fast and are as described. Happy to do business again here. This message box is forcing me to write at least 100 characters so I am typing about that since I have no more to say about the transaction.
I love the concept of thredUP and all the company has to offer. ThredUP is the first and only company that aligned with my own beliefs of secondhand garments and sustainability. Along with that, the products are presented well and also come in the way they are presented! I love the many choices and options for myself. There is a variety in the process of choosing what suits myself as an individual, and that is what other companies lack.
I have been so impressed with ThredUp! From the Clean Out bags to the online shopping experience to the very fast shipping to the way everything is packaged such a classy way. Thank you!
So far, ordering was easy, there were items in my size and I did get something for free. Just waiting to receive my order in the mail.
I have purchased items and sold items as well. So far, it's been great!. I like what I get and get back for my items.
This is better than hitting my favorite consignment shops. The items are all in beautiful condition. The prices are great. I don't have to wade through every size and color to find what I want, instead, the site shows me exactly what I ask for. And I don't have to waste time or fuel running all over town only to discover they don't have what I need. Perfect!
I got a pair of flats & a pair of ankle boots and they are for people with feet that are 2 inches in width not for people with wide feet and cant get to the place on line to return them
I had ordered a coach credit card holder at a good price and it never arrived with the rest of my stuff they were not very helpful. They did refund what i paid but i felt they should have offered to replace it.
I love the packaging, I love the tissue paper and a little sticker it's wrapped in, the clothes are always an excellent condition, and delivery is fast
I have bought some beautiful pieces on there! My suggestions for improvement are: better description of items. I ordered a blazer that said solid color, but had pinstripes. Especially with black items it is hard to see what the fabric really looks like. Also, the app crashes every now and then. Other than that I am glad I found ThredUP!
Timely delivery and service and all items were accurately described. I will certainly be using them again!
I ordered a pair of shoes. Upon arrival in great packaging, sadly they were too big. I returned the shoes following easy steps found online. I received my credit and reorders some items for my son which arrived in same great polka dot box! Easy Peasy
Better then retail! Items is as described and beyond convenient! Comes to the door and can be returned easily if it doesn't fit or is no what you though. What's better then this!
Saw it, wanted it, used money from my account to get it and presto a few days later it was in my hot little hands or should I say, hanging from my wrist! Awesome experience all the way around!
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.
