Unfortunately i went on vacation and now my ticket is closed so i can not review Lenas customer service. She has helped me two times in 2 different situations and she is by far the best in customet service. And i mean in my life time in my experiences beyond this store. She is the reason i come back. Deserves a raise!
Overall my buying experience from thredUP has been great. I just have a concern with the inconsistency of the descriptions of items. Example, I bought a jacket which stated minor wear and tear and unsure of size. When I received the item, it still had the tags on it where it stated it was a size medium. Also, I believe the money which is given for the acceptable items in a submitted bag should increase. The selling price of the accepted items is almost a 300% markup, at least in my case. I think this way because of all the clothes that you did not accept, they are being donated or recycled which your company receives the tax write-off. I have learned the hard way and now selling my own clothes else where.
The ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE: THE WHITE PURSE
THERE WERE LOTS OF MORE STAINS, THAT YOU DIDN'T TAKE WITH THE PURSE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PURSE.
LOOKS ARE DECEIVING UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE PACKAGE@ HOME
YOU NEED TO HAVE MORE PICTURES INSIDE/ OUTSIDE OF THE ITEMS.
I LIKE THE PURSE. I LIKE YOUR COMPANY, BUT MORE PICTURES.
The website search is amazing. I hate searching and the ease of placing my order keeps me coming back when ever I need an item.
One of my items was listed as having a small stain. I understand what i bought, and it really is a very small stain, but you know, it means I can't wear it to work. Maybe you can stop selling things that are stained.
I was looking for baby clothes for 2 people. The selection is great. The clothes are in excellent shape. Can hardly wait to do some more shoping.
I sent in a bag full of junior's clothing... Hollister, American Eagle, Express, etc. Some had tags, most never worn and in perfect condition. They gave me $0.80.
Then, when I looked at the site, I saw three pairs of Hollister shorts for sale that looked identical to the ones I sent in. Same sizes, same colors, same styles. These are the shorts that were supposedly "donated". I'll never sell to them again. And I refuse to buy anything from them and support their unethical business.
I have purchased about 10 articles of clothing from ThredUP so far, and every item has matched its description on the site perfectly. I am very impressed with ThredUP. It's my new favorite way to shop!
Easy process for orders and returns. Very satisfied with customer service and product quality.
I love the items I bought. Clean, good quality, good fit.
What was rated as new and price what not worth the deal.The bags were not even clean up properly before they were offered to be sold.
I have alsways been pleased in the past but with my last order I was not pleased with shipping. I had earned free shipping for the month, and everything in the past had shipped priority mail. However, the free shipping was not priority. This would normally be a big deal, but I am shipping to an APO, and waited two months for the package to arrive.
My experience was extremely frustrating! It was really difficult to believe the amount of money i was paid for my clothes/shoes! I will not be using this site ever again to send my items to sell. I was happy with the service on the purchasing side. Fast delivery, packaged nicely, easy returns.
I have ordered from ThredUp multiple times everything has been great always good quality and very good prices.
Description of items correct. Condition & quality were good. Suggest that you use smaller boxes for packaging since the items get very wrinkled when there's too much space. You save money in the size of box plus shipping charges. Great job.
Don't send your items to them - they will give you $1 then charge you shipping for $300+ worth of clothes and most likely sell your items anyways. Beware this company is awful and unethical!
The website is relatively easy to navigate, there are many selections to choose from in my size, and the clothes are honestly evaluated and described. I'm also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the shipping (as well as the price). The items are carefully packaged in a visually pleasing way - more than I typically get from a big retailer.
I LOVE Thredup and will be a frequent supplier and buyer. My only complaint, and I don't like to complain, is that the sizing on many of the items I've ordered is completely off-which may explain why they were consigned.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
