I was very happy with the items I purchased and where in store bought condition.
I have made two purchases from Thredup. The first purchase was a purse, was very happy with transaction. Second purchase was a pair of jean, ordered one size and received a totally different size, was disappointed and am returning jeans. Customer service was contacted through email and representative was very nice. Waiting to see how refund goes.
Email looking for a solution was answered in a reasonable time period with specific explanations and immediate resolution.
Some of children's clothing were not properly sized but, everything was in excellent condition. I bought three designer handbags, they far exceeded my expectations. I have placed two more orders with Threadup
I have ordered twice so far and have been very satisfied with the experience. With my last order, I had two items that needed to be returned and I love how easy it is to return something! The items I have ordered have been as described and in good, if not great, condition. I highly recommend thredUP!
So I had an issue with one of the items I purchased from ThredUP. I contacted their customer service like I was told to do. It took 24 hours for ThredUP support to contact me letting me know they have received my support inquiry and that they are working hard to respond to me as quickly as possible. Well, sadly it's been a few days now and I still have not heard back from them. So to say the very least, I'm seriously and completely unsatisfied. This experience has opened my eyes and I will no longer be doing business with ThredUP since they aren't willing to help me.
I purchase 2nd hand clothes all the time, but never have I been more impressed with the condition of my orders than with ThredUp. Definitely comparable to other sites, like Poshmark.
My packages arrived on time, very well packaged, and in the condition that the site claimed they would be. Great experience, will definitely use Thread Up again!
Three of my four items were great, fit perfectly and were just what I hoped they would be. One item was considerably smaller fit than I expected, which was a surprise-- Cabi skirt size 10 but fits like a size 6... Cabi usually runs large, so that was disappointing. Returns are not easy for ThredUp, so I'll probably keep it and pass it on to someone else...
I bought boots in clearance and was pleasantly suprised at how nicely they were bubble wrapped and boxed complete with tissue paper. Made opening extra enjoyable. Boots were in excellent contidition and well priced.
I enjoy the site The four items I ordered smelled and just did not seem to be the quality the pic depicted, (i do not want my post posted)
I just received my second order from Thred Up and I'm a big fan! The quality of the clothes is great (everything was like new) and you can't beat the prices. I love that I can shop online whenever I want, search by color, size, style, etc. to bring up only what I'm looking for, and returns are super easy. This is my new go-to site for shopping for myself and my kids. Love it!
I am happy with thred up. The only issue I've had is the length of time it takes to return items but that is due to slow shipping.
Always very pleased and satisfied with my purchases!
Website is easy to use. My orders always arrive accurately and on time. I apprexiate the aesthetics of the box and the tags. My one negtive is that on the website I would love to be able to filter by kind of clothing and brand and I havent been able to do so, so when i put a brand i like if i press dresses on the left side menu it takes me back to all the dresses instead of that brands dresses. Also it seems like you show the same item over and over again and thats not great.
I'm addicted to thredUp! I just placed my 3rd order in two weeks. The quality of merchandise I received in my first two orders made me a believer! I used to buy directly from stores such as Ann Taylor, Banana republic, Gap, and the Loft. No more paying full price at the store when I can shop online from my phone or computer and save 75-90% off the retail price.
Easy shopping, easy returns, items clean and as noted online
The item descriptions are accurate and detailed. Very smooth transaction.
I've been shopping thrifts and consignment shops for a gazillion years and was so glad to find ThredUp. Have had 2 shopping excursions with them, both went incredibly well, from the fact that it remembers my sizes to the speed in which the purchase arrives! Love the polka dot boxes!
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.
