I love the company and was excited about my purchase. Unfortunately the two dresses i ordered do not fit. I am glad to send them back and get a credit. Maybe i will have better luck next time.
My friend referred me to thredup.com. I have received one order already and am very happy with it!
Clothes are in excellent condition, site is easy to use, and the box arrives quickly!
Items are as advertised and shipped in a timely fashion. I would also like to mention the care involved in the wrapping of the items. And love the poke-a-dot paper.
After reading so many negative reviews I was skeptical about making any purchases from this site, but I decided to go on a whim and give it a try. I found several designer jeans labeled "like new" for only $25 so it was enough incentive. When thredup says "like new" they really mean it! I was overall thrilled with my purchase. I even found a like-new juicy couture leather jacket for only $20! I will definitely buy from this site in the future. The only complaint I had was that I ordered a pair of shoes that were labeled "gently used" because of wear from the inside, but when I got them the shoes were practically brand new except they were missing some jewels that were on the centerpiece over the toe. It was a tad misleading but it was hardly noticable. I would say if you are buying "like-new" items you have nothing to worry about.
Everything that I purchased for my son came as described and in great condition. At a great price!
I actually did get a pretty decent amount of credit for the 2 bags of clothes I turned in and I am really fond of the clothes I have purchased as well. I also got a $10 credit for referring a friend!
I have enjoyed shopping on this site. The deals are to good to pass up.
All the items I ordered were in excellent condition. They looked brand new and like they had never been worn. Prices were great so I was able to stock up on many pieces without killing my budget. Highly recommend.
Items are well cared for. Communication about shipping took a little bit, but they did inform me of where about a of my items and I got it. Shipping to Hawaii may take a while 2-6 weeks, but my first order came within 2 weeks. But my second order came within 3 days!
The condition of the item was described as it had minor flaws, in fact it had a couple of visible holes on it.
I came across the link on Facebook and just went in to check it out and found many brands that I like for great prices. I have placed a couple of orders so far and very pleased with the items.
I have shopped Thred Up a few times now, this past time was a great experience! The site seems to search, sort and load quickly. There were a few times it wasn't as smooth so I ended up not ordering but happy with most recent experience.
I have only had two orders and I am so impressed at the quality of the garments and the packaging. I feel like I am giving myself presents. The prices are unreal! Whoever had this idea and made it happen is a genius!
Had such an easy time navigating the app, ordering the clothes and they all came back to me exactly as I expected and anticipated from the site.
It was fast and on time! The quality of the items met my expectations and I will be ordering again! The prices are great and the choices are endless!
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.
