Love all of my purchases and I love that I have an outlet for clothes I no longer wear. Second hand is the way to go! Wish you could open up to men's fashion as well. I've spread the word to all the women I know. Thred up is the way to shop!
I love my new clothes, and feel like I'm getting a great value!
In this day and age it is rare to find a company that will go 150% to make sure your problem is taken care of. My items arrived in record time. Pleasantly wrapped. I had an issue through no fault by my own. Customer Service was extremely professional and pleasant in my issue. Resolved it expediently and to my expectations. ThredUp provides us with the finest fashions at a very sweet price and Steller Customer Service. What more can a gal ask for!
I love that I can buy thrift online.
As a mama, makes my life easier and it's fun to have something to scroll through absent-mindedly during those mom moments.
I do find quite a lot of mistaken labeling.
Also, the photos aren't always very accurate representations of the products, which is annoying. Instead of making the product "look good" I wish the pics more accurately portrayed what the material behaved like, etc. (I recently ordered a sweater that looked like it was of a more structured/stiffer yarn due to the way the oversized turtleneck collar stood up in the pic--but the actual collar flops in a totally different way. Had I known this was the actual way the collar behaved, wouldn't have ordered.)
But, that being said, I enjoy the site.
Plus, it's not such a big gamble with the low prices.
And you're not adding to the overproliferation of new stuff!
The prices could be a bit lower, though. I feel like for comparable used clothing, you can find it cheaper elsewhere. But I guess it's the accessibility that people pay for; and the interface.
Anyway, I really enjoy the site, although it could use some solid fixing.
Ordered once and it was even a better experience than I anticipated. So I ordered again!
Wonderful, delivered quickly, products in great shape, will continue to shop here.
Love the concept of ThredUP. It has inspired me to clean out my closet, update my look, and find some awesome threds at great prices. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to freshen things up!
All my purchases have been exactly as described by seller. Very satisfied customer. Will be shopping again.
Rebuilding my wardrobe after weight loss and a new job and this site is amazing. The prices are so affordable, the quality is great, and I love that it ships so fast!
Love thredUP, the prices are very reasonable not to mention that the items I have purchased look like new. I also love the way the pack the items their shipping boxes are really fun and cute.
Loved my first order but second order I ordered a large in both shirts one was a super small large and one was a super large. I guess that is the risk you take ordering second hand online.
I am disappointed in thredUP. I heard so many great things about it, but have not been satisfied with the two orders I placed. The first purchase was labeled a women's shirt, but when it arrived it was a child's XL instead of women's. Clearly too small. Then I tried again, purchased a cute dress according to the picture, but when it arrived the sleeves had the design of long slits in the long sleeves. This is a big change from what the picture advertised. I was hoping to teach in it, but there is no way I could wear it to work as it is more of a bar style dress.
I have placed two orders and I am very pleased with everything I received. Everything looks like new items and the prices are great!
I sent 60 items to ThedUp, they purchased 42 for a total of $29. That is less than a dollar an item, most with tags still attached. Then I see the items listed on theit site for $30-40 each. Very disappointed.
I really love the ThredUp concept. I really hate to shop but not only is the website user friendly but I can feel good about shopping this way because it it sustainable.
Plus, the prices are fair and reasonan\ble.
My sweater, sports bra and leggings came and were exactly what was listed. They fit great and look great.
I have to say I was hesitant to order second hand clothing and shoes without being able to see or touch them. I was pleasantly surprised when my first package arrived. I was so pleased, I made a second order and am equally, if not more satisfied!
I am really impressed with the quality of thier clothing being that it is used. Everything I've ordered has been in like new condition. They also ship fairly fast.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
