Have ordered twice now and all the items were in good condition and just a described!
Everything I ordered was on clearance for less than $5 and it all looked brand new when I got the order!
I have ordered twice from thredUP. The quality is great, shipping is fast, and the prices are fabulous.
I am thrilled. I found several tops to match bottoms my daughter already had and they arrived today. Some still had tags and all of them were in great shape. I am extremely impressed and plan to shop again soon.
I like that there is a way to buy fashionable clothes without benefitting sweatshops. The items are very cute and most of the time true to size.
This is a great site. I can find whatever I am looking for (and things I didn't even know I wanted!) by perusing the site or app. The prices are fair and the shipping is quick!
I received my clothes relatively quickly and all in great condition. Decided to return some due to sizing and return seemed to be slow but more a reflection of our postal system I guess. Overall happy with my purchase.
1. I sent back a pair of shoes for store credit and there has been plenty of time for them to have received them, but shows no credit to my account.
2. I placed another order then decided I didn't want the shoes 2mins. After paying for them I canceled them. Today in the mail I received the shoes I canceled.
3. Do you people read the emails sent to you or do you just skim thru them because the answers I get back have nothing to do with my questions.
Very convenient. I'm impressed with they're customers service. I love how effective their marketing is. Not pushy but persistent. They made a loyal customer out of me
I use to buy stuff all the time when thredup was new. I don't buy too much anymore since their prices have gone up more for items.
I loved searching thredUp for clothing and the fact that I could return items. Love!
A beautiful cotton shirt arrived, perfect condition. As described, only better.
The clothes are always even better than they appear in the pictures - well cleaned, boxed and shipped perfectly!
Thred up is very user friendly. I sent my clothes that I was not able to sell at garage sale or any other site. They let you know when they received the bag I sent and couple weeks later I had a credit in my account. I bought purses and shoes and they really are like brand new.
I was a little disappointed with the amount I received for the clothing I sent. What I had calculated was $12 off what they ended up giving me. As for the clothing I've purchased, they have been nice... I have had to return items because of size issues but that is to be expected with used clothing. It is frustrating though when you take a chance on a final sale item and it totally doesn't fit right :(. They do a great job marketing... I constantly receive updates. Overall good experience.
I've ordered several pairs of jeans. When I've gotten them they are shorts or longs. It does not specify in the description on the website. Otherwise, the quality is fantastic! Maybe I'll have better luck next time!
I sent almost all Loft, Talbots and Ann Taylor clothes less than 5 years old and in good shape and only 38% of my wardrobe was picked. It was about on par with the local resale shop. I was really hoping to get closer to 50% or more as I thought the items were very high quality and would easily sell.
I don't have anything but good to say about all of my thredUp experiences. A lot to choose from and excellent quality of the merchandise I receive.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
