This was my first experience with thredUP, and I couldn't be happier with my purchases. They all arrived about a week after I ordered them, they all looked exactly as presented on the website, and they all fit great! I wasn't aware of the great return policy you have until after I received my package, but it gives me peace of mind to know that I can return items if they aren't what I thought they were, or if they don't fit well. You have a future long-term customer here who is looking forward to doing business with you again!
Received all that I ordered.
It was packed with care.
Thank you.
Product purchased was in "like new" condition. Mega fast shipping! Great shopping experience!
I didn't know what to expect with so many sub-par shopping sites but I am floored by the simplicity, selection and standards of which I've experienced using this site! I am so in Love with my newest pieces I've purchased that this is where I plan on doing majority of my shopping. (Trust me, I live wayyy up in the mountains where options are very very limited, so I'll be suggesting to my friends) thanks for such quality!
The price that you are paid for your clothes that you send to them is ridiculous. Save your time and energy and just donate to charity. Most of the items you send them will only get $1.00 or $2.00. You would do better at a yard sale. What a joke!
I throughly enjoyed shopping the site. The is endless variety and the price point for the brands +quality is perfect. I truly got some steals!
The one drawback is when buying on line, I cannot try on the items and a size small or medium in one brand may be a perfect fit while another brand is way off. I found the return process cumbersome and didn't bother.
Found the greatest little coat... dress up or dress down easily... machine washable, and fits like a glove... plus a great markdown. Couldn't be more pleased. Love "thredUP"!
I've never been a used clothing kind of gal, but a friend recommended thredUp so I tried it. WOW! I was amazed from packaging to product. Strong work, thredUp!
Every item...! I'm redoing my wardrobe. What a better way to do without spending a million dollars! I started with coats and jackets for the fall (my favorite season:-)...) I now have up to date outerwear, a beautiful suede ruffle and a white silk jacket, trench coats and a wool coat! My last purchase was for a work up date. This is the best site! Update away ladies. And look you absolute stylish best!
As always, I was highly impressed with the quality of the clothing I received. It was all in excellent condition and looked brand new. My polka dot box was packed and shipped quickly, which I appreciated since I was just itching to try my clothes on! Thred Up is a wonderful way to find new clothes and be environmentally friendly at the same time. I cannot recommend enough.
I LOVE thredUP! Only concern is that the process takes a while. But if you are a patient person, you will love this!
I am very satisfied with the service and product that I received from thredUP. They were accurate, timely, and appreciative with great customer service followup "we like you as a customer" emails. I already ordered a new shipment and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival in two days.
Everything I have received so far has been exactly as described. Beautiful packaging. Love your follow up and attention to detail! Well done!
The clothes I received from Thred Up were in almost new condition. I was very satisfied and ordered from them again!
I didn't realize FINAL SALE meant I couldn't return the item; therefore, I'm stuck with these pants that are too big & too long. My fault, should have realized.
I am new to Thredup, but I have had such a pleasant experience so far. They have given clear instructions for the Polka Dot return bag process; they even followed up after I returned the bag. Also, I made a purchase, & I received a note, asking if I was happy with my items.
I would highly recommend Thredup to a friend!
Love the quality and selection of the products. Great experience and shipping was fast and what a lovely packaging too. Thank You.
Lota of variety to choose from and reasonable prices for second hand clothing. When I received my order everything was in excellent condition!
I've placed two orders so far with thredUP. The items I received were just as pictured and described. They arrived earlier than the estimated arrival date. I'm very happy with thredUP and will continue to peruse the site looking for bargains.
It's like all the best treasures you find at goodwill on one site, sorted by your size and preferences!
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.
