Returned items were noted as credited. I appreciate the feedback and customer service.
The clothes I purchased for my granddaughter were in great condition. I had to make one return, and it was processed promptly
I am excited to have come across this website at its early stages. Prices are great and you have a decent selection to begin with. I look forward to continuing my shopping experience with ThredUp.
Very easy to use website with fast shipping and products that are in great condition.
Everything was as it looked on the website. I have already ordered more items.
It's like thrift store shopping without having to wade through countless racks of stuff that isn't well arranged. I have loved everything I've purchased so far. I get to splurge without it costing me a fortune!
It was easy to order. Picked items to preview and then ordered from the description given and the condition of the items. They arrived in a very short time. I was very satisfied with what I ordered. I ordered a couple more items last night.
I am new to thredup, but so far the couple of items I have purchased were at very good prices, and in top notch condition, everything comes packaged nicely, love the blue dots! I have passed on to many people about thredup, and will continue to shop with them. Great Bargains, Keep it up, thredup.
I've been highly impressed with the quality of each item. All 8 pieces I have purchased are like brand new!
I am getting cute clothes for great prices. Good quality too
I have bought ordinary clothes and beautiful unique clothes from threadup. A few of the items didn't fit or were not what I thought. Most of them I absolutely love. A few have become my absolute favorites. I recommend threadup to family and friends. I will be buying more very soon. Some advice, read closely to what you are buying and to the condition of the clothes. And enjoy!
My co worker told me about ThredUp and showed me some adorable dresses that she purchased for her granddaughter- all under $10! I have ordered clothing twice now and am very happy with my purchases. I bought clothes for both my 6 year old son and 2 year old daughter and the clothes are in very good condition. I also bought 4 pairs of shoes for myself and I was actually amazed at the quality and condition. I love the Tory Burch flats! I used my 40% off for my first order, so all of the kids clothes were under 5 bucks each! Nice stuff like a Gap dress for my daughter and Gymboree sweater for my son. Stocking up on winter items now, since the deals are great. I also got a like new Gap winter coat for $15.99 for my son among many other items! If you buy from them they will also email you a 10%off coupon for your next order! You can also earn free shipping which I did almost immediately! :)
I've now bought several items on ThredUp, and kept the majority of them. Clothes are truly as described--like-new clothes really are just like new. Packaging is tof good quality, and double-wrapped to keep clothes safe from water or other damage in transit. The color values on the website are close to true. The only problem I've had is sizing. It's better to go by the stated size than by measurements, I've found, as the waist and bust measurements are from I-don't-know-what. Naturally, sizes vary--a "medium" or "12" from one company can differ from another, but it's still more accurate than the waist and bust sizes. For example, I recently bought a size large blouse that was listed as having about a 36 inch bust but it was actually slightly large on my nearly-size-14 frame and fit my 40 inch bust perfectly.
I hope ThredUp can work out issues with measurements because otherwise it's a fantastic source for secondhand clothes!
I purchased four great pieces that I wouldn't typically be able to afford. Great price, perfect condition, and all the pieces even fit just right!
I only placed an order recently because I had used the clean out bag. I sent in over 50 items that should have been accepted and only 16 were and they only paid $15 so totaling less than $1 per item. I used the credit and will never use this site again. I will also be letting my friends and family know about the poor experience so they don't have the same experience. I was better off donating items to a charity and writing them off on my taxes.
The transaction was very easy. I found an item that looked nice, put it in the cart and it was delivered in about a week. The prices are reasonable and I got a designer sweater that was practically brand new! I can't wait to make another purchase.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
