Received the order quickly and it was as described. Wore it to Church this morning.
I'm very satisfied.
I sent about 50 really great articles of clothing Cache, pink, banana republic, etc. I got a total of $22.00 for all my trouble. Never again. It would have been easier and more satisfying to go to a goodwill, donate it all and borrow $22 from a friend. What a scam!
I recently bought a pair of open toe shoes at a great price. Based on the description of the shoes, it said slightly worn with a hole. However, upon receiving the shoes, all the leather had worn off the straps, and the straps came undone as I was trying on the shoes. The were beyond slightly used, they were wrecked! Plus, I can not return them, they were a final sale. Please be honest with your description of your items, and please... take close up pictures for us to determine the quality before purchase.
I've ordered from ThredUp 3 times now and so far everything has been in excellent condition! My order always comes within 3-5 business days.
My only complaint is that there aren't measurements for the belts. Every brand's sizing is different, so it's hard to know which size to order without measurements.
I had been hesitant to try this but so far I have made 3 purchases of designer clothing and every piece was perfect. I could not even tell they were not brand new. And I love the packaging they come in.
Some items I even think were new. Quick delivery too.
I have placed two orders with Thredup. The items I have received have been quality condition at bargain prices. I will be a consistent customer!
I bought a few items that I have been happy with and had no problem returning the one that didn't fit. I did the bag clean out and sent many nice items, but I was disappointed to only have one item accepted and get $5 credit. Knowing that, I most likely will not send anything in the future.
I wish the app had more features such as: pending credits, return status, and shipping notifications. Basically, the same information you have available on the website. One positive is the shopping format is easy to navigate on the app.
They were very prompt in sending my purchase and it was as described. I guess my problem is that I am not a standard size and need to try on before purchasing. I purchased 2 pants and they both fit differently, not well just different. This is not a problem with ThredUp but my personal problem.
I know what size pants I am. I wear it every day however when i order them here they are either too short and/or to small. The condition of the clothes is excellent, but nothing fits. I am very upset bc although i can send them back I want nothing else so basically you are going to take all my money
My orders arrived early and everything was exactly how it appeared online when I ordered it. Perfect fit and all around great shopping experience.
I wasn't sure what to expect but I am really happy with everything. Shopping was fun, check out was easy and all of the clothes were amazing! I will definitely be a repeat customer!
Clothes come to you pressed, clean and wrapped like they use to wrap with tissue. I have been so happy with all I have bought. I am more than happy to share with others about. ThredUp.
Great price, great clothes!
Shopping on thredUP was easy. The website is user friendly and easy to find what you are looking for. Shipping was fast and my clothes arrived in great condition.
My granddaughter is growing like a weed and it was costing me a fortune to keep her in clothes. Since thredUP is online she has been able to pick out those items she liked and we have not spent hours going through racks at the store. Everything we have purchased was in like new condition and we have both been very happy with our purchases.
I love that I can shop and find unique items from my phone. The end result is always better than expected.
My experience has been fairly good. I love the selection and prices are reasonable. Some of the information displayed is not as accurate as I want it to be.
ThredUP is probably my favorite place to shop. I love their mission statement and the quality clothing they post on their site. My only wish is that I was better able to judge whether or not an item will fit me and what the piece looked like on--maybe consider using mannequins to photograph items?
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.
