I've become addicted to browsing the site! Everything I've bought has been in good condition. I've sent a few items back because of fit (but that's typical for me no matter where I buy from), and the returns process was simple and timely. I have recommended ThredUp to my friends and family.
My daughter wanted a green princess dress that she could wear for Halloween but also wear for other occasions or school. She was so excited when we found one on Thred Up. Prefect color & size plus it was a great price!
I have ordered numerous items from Thred up and all have arrived on time and packaged nicely. I have a few items to send back from my last order so I will let you know how that goes. I expect that it will go very smoothly. I am thinking about sending some of my nicer things to Thred up to sale as I have gained a few pounds. I anticipate a long relationship...
I like shopping with the company, but I think the prices are a little high.
I've ordered twice from thredUP and have been thrilled with both orders. The clothing arrives as described and the packaging is fun and creative. I love all of the items I've purchased so far and will continue to shop here.
Overall, I love what I got. I appreciate you being there. That said... no box? Boo. Part of the fun of buying something online is opening the box. A bag just isn't the same.
Received clothing as scheduled to be delivered and I have to say that the quality of the clothing was much more than what I had even expected I got 2 pair of boots that I am truly excited to wear this winter
That's why I love thredUP! I can shop while i'm still in my PJ's, sipping coffee.
Love how easy everything is! From selling your own clothes to purchasing new items for yourself, it couldn't be more simple.
Just as I hoped. The items I have ordered are the right fit and in great condition and often new.
I love thrift shopping, but I get frustrated when I find a beautiful item that isn't my size. With thredUP I can enter my size and a description of what I am looking for and dozens of options appear! It's a great way to pick up beautiful clothes for reasonable prices.
Good selection, almost new items. I will definitely recommend your site
All the products I received arrived beautifully! From the box to the actually clothes and the bad was beautiful.
My sister recommended the site to me and I was skeptical at first but after browsing I was so impressed. I received a first purchase discount and found so many great items. Overall the experience was an A+. From browsing until I received my items, which came very quick, the experience was great!
Great clothes, super cool, and cheap. Very quick to receive. Never go to my local thrift store again. I am shopping online at ThredUP!
I sold my first bag of items, and made my first purchase with my account credits.
Love buying second hand and ThredUp makes it easier to buy responsibly. Clothes shopping is a favorite pastime but I'll admit the fashion industry is one of the most ridiculous and out of control businesses. I can shop guilt-free with free returns, so I order away and try on everything once it arrives. Only complaint is the website needs some improvements to make shopping easier: 'favorites' function, no reservations, more item info like care instructions (one order consisted of all dry-clean only items which would've been good to know upfront). Would be a five-star rating with those improvements, but overall very happy.
The purse I purchased was categorized as ' looks like new.' When the purse arrived it was anything but looking like new. Felt like a complete waste of money because it was so scuffed and used looking I will not use it. I'd rather have purchased for three times as much new because now I'm out my money and have no usable purse. I'm working on contacting Thredup to obtain a refund or credit or something to make right this situation as their advertising of the purse was very misleading. None of the pictures posted showed the scuffs or the completely rubbed off leather. I'm hopeful they'll make the sutsuation right.
Easy way to shop for nice and affordable clothing!
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.
