I had a great experience. The toddler clothes were like brand new and just as pictured. I love my new purple purse. Everything came quickly and great packaging. Thanks
Very happy with my clothes purchases. Items were as described.
I find the web site a challenge. It is difficult from many pages to see my account status especially for items on consignment. It would also be great to able to filter and see only clearance items bi can't figure out a way to do that and it makes browsing very time consuming. I also would like to see the individual amounts received for items sold for less than $60. I can only see the lump sum and which items were kept.
Very easy to navigate through this site. Lots of great items too!
I love the clothes I have gotten from Thred up, but but feel their advertised return policy is misleading. They say free returns, but apparently that is only if you take a store crecit, otherwise it is 8.99. If you buy a $20 pair of pants and have to pay $8.99 to return, then that is a bit of a ripoff.
A dress was returned within the time period allotted yet no credit was issued. Texts to customer support have not been returned and I've been waiting all day for a response.
Purchased school clothes for my 8 year old, some plus size clothing for myself AND some jeans for my daughter in law! Love all of my purchases and will be a repeat shopper! Great value on like new items that will last us! Thank You!
I like this site. The idea is great, the prices are good, and the shipping experience has gone well. My only issue is the brands themselves. I have taken a chance on a few brands I haven't worn before (ie. Pendleton) and picked the size I wear for others. When received, the items were WAY too small. The site is most ideal if you know the brands well and can order your size with confidence. Way too disheartening to order a whole bag of clothes and send most of it back due to improper size. So far I have used the credit option to avoid the $10 charge for asking for a refund to my credit card. Twice I have sent clothes back for site credit, so this process of finding the perfect fit could go on for quite a while...
I was very satisfied with the items I bought, and right away purchased a second round of pants. The products are accurately described. The prices are excellent (I had two coupons so paid a fraction of even what I was anticipating the price would be.) Even the shipping is very reasonable. The package itself is very nicely done up--including wrapping paper and a Thred-Up tag on every item. I will definitely continue shopping and buying from this site.
I've ordered twice now. What I've bought has looked fresh off the rack and the prices are amazing. I'll continue to use this wonderful service.
I just discovered this site and it really does work well. You can browse what you want, filter your search, and read descriptions on each item. It is also very simple to check out and pay. It is very user friendly!
If you use the filters, the shopping experience at ThredUp is super easy. I love the size filter especially, and of course the opportunity to select the type of merchandise I'm looking for.
I thought I'd give thredup a try. I did the clean up bag and it went well. The information on how much I would receive was a bit unclear in the email I received but once I read the fine print, it became more clear that I had option to cash out in two weeks or use within the site.
I opted to use my $return on the site and purchase more items. I had several technical problems with trying to purchase items in applying promo codes but I have to say the customer service was very helpful and resolved the issues quickly. Still, as a customer I would have preferred to avoid that step. The purchase I received came timely and was nicely packaged. I loved the thredup tag. It made it feel like a new purchase, even though it was consignment.
I may try the clean out bag again. Now that I understand how the process works.
Thank you.
Good program for sending in gently use clothes! Clothes arrive on time. The website images are not he best when looking at the clothes though
I was looking for school uniform clothes for my 3 girls, and succeeded majorly shopping on Thread Up. I was able to find great looking school clothes and didn't have to break my bank in the process. I absolutely love this site and am so glad my girlfriend told me about it!
Got a wonderful Marc Jacobs purse for 1/3 the store price and when it arrived it was brand new with tags still attached!
Every one is quick to help the clothes are in the condition stayed and returns are easy
Could not get over the quality of the clothing. I bought designer blouses (Michael Kors, Joie, DKNY, etc.) for less than I would ever spend retail. They were like new! Highly recommend ThredUP
Smooth, items as shown in condition described. Fast shipping with great communication. No problems whatsoever
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
