I loved the skirt that I received. It's in great condition & fits perfectly.
I wonder if some times clothes are "available" to ThredUp as they did not sell as the sizes were not accurate... because the incorrect label was put on the garment. It seems to happen too often. So far things have been smaller than expected.
Great shopping fast delivery. I did send a bag of clothes that was lost but I was issued a 100$ credit. I was disappointed with that part and probably won't trade my clothes in again but I will continue to shop.
It was a great experience. I liked the note with my package as well. Definitely will spread the word of my experience!
Thredup has great products and free shipping. They are very fast in shipping to you. I love it!
I love Thred Up. It's my favorite app. Always trendy clothes at extremely trendy prices. I can not get enough.
No surprises, got exactly what I thought I was getting and love it, love it.
Overall I really like the site, but items for sale need more description and measurements etc
With the amount of items they took, I barely got much in return and my promotion credit expired which is ridiculous.
Nothing ever fits. That's my only complaint. But the site has good options. The customer service is good.
I think thredUP is a great way to buy clothes. The best part is they all look brand new and are a fraction of the cost.
I love the idea of Thred Up, and I got very good service in terms of the clean out bag being sent and my orders being filled. However, very few of the items I donated were accepted for resale, despite my feeling that they were of very good quality and in good condition, so it is not a very good system for me.
In addition, some of my credits appear to have been 'lost'. I didn't quibble about it because it wasn't a large amount of money. I did determine, though, that once my last transaction was complete I would discontinue using thredUP.
I would still recommend it to other people, as they may have a better experience than I did.
It is really fun to look through Designer dresses and shoes and see that I can find my size and some wonderful styles that I would otherwise never buy because of the original prices. I have purchased a couple pairs of shoes (Blanik and St. Laurent) and several dresses (Trina Turk etc.) and have been very pleased. For years I shopped at a second hand shop in Austin to enhance my work wardrobe (i am a professor-now retired)--getting things like a $500 cashmere and wool jacket for $99. Smart shopping!
The purses and wallets I have ordered have been perfect, and delivery was much quicker even than promised. I am so impressed with this site!
I get the cutest things here, good quality clothes that don't break the bank. Once I had to make a return and that went very smoothly as well. Your order comes boxed with care and wrapped in pretty paper, and it is shipped and to your door very quickly. This is the first place I go to shop!
Easy, quick, reliable... hard not to fill your basket every time you sign on. Brands you'd never think of owning are all at arms reach and in perfect condition. Love it,
Live it.
Deliver was quick. Items were as described. Many even had tags on them and were newer worn. Loved my selections. A few items that I received I felt were a little over prices, but over all a good value for my money.
I've had a great experience shopping, buying and getting a refund too. Customer service is quick and friendly. They have their act together!
I love thrift store shopping for clothing, but I live in a very rural area in a rural state. Thred Up allows me to find great clothes (so many choices) at a great price and have them shipped right to my door. I found some wonderful pieces for my wardrope. They were priced well and arrived quickly. I will shop thredUp again.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
