Easy to order, try on and keep or send back. I have a very busy life and no time to shop. A minute here and there on their website and clothes arrive in great condition at an even greater price.
If you think a clean out bag will earn you some extra cash think again. I sent a huge bag with 22 pairs of womens jeans, jackets, 10 pairs of shorts, even some kids stuff. They resold 10 of my items, I earned $9.28. One of my jackets they had listed for 17.99. I would have rather given to a local charity for a tax deduction.
I sent thred up some very nice clothes and they only picked 3 of the pieces to sell. I made $2.76. What a rip off. Don't send them any clothes. You would be better off selling them on ebay. Never again!
This site is better than others on used clothing that is practically new. Love it
The handbag did not look like it was pictured. Smaller than expected
The selections are nice, most clothes fit true to size. I love shopping for shoes on this site because they have my size. All in all I have had a great experience shopping on line with thred up. Keep up the good work.
I've made 2 purchases so far and have been happy with everything I've received. So easy to buy what I want and it's delivered quickly. I've told my closest friends to check out thredUP.
Everything I ordered was great. It was shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. I am a fan!
The reason everyone is getting these awesome great deals is because people like me send in their clothing, expecting to get a fair amount of money back. That is only the case for a few brands and items, and you don't fully know what those are until you send in your stuff. Then, you can only get it back by paying $12.95 (which is always more than you get for most clothing) and if you didn't do it in advance, then you won't get your items back at all. I won't be selling to them again and this experience has compelled me to not buy from them either. They make you wait 14 days to get your cash. They profit immensely--if you send in high end items, you are likely to be disappointed.
I was able to find lots of leggings options, including some styles that are hard to find elsewhere. I got a great price on something I'll wear all the time!
The selections are great and in good condition.
I would appreciate less notifications.
Found a great dress on clearance, the price was a steal!
Unfortunately, it didn't fit:(
But, I found a label that I'd never heard of before and now love :)
Great prices, wonderful conditions! However Tredup could really use better photo backdrop for items or best descriptions. Difficult to know exactly the material you are buying! Accidentally bought a see-through tight maternity sleeveless shirt (would certainly NOT buy this is I knew it was see-through and can't wear anything under) and a "brown skirt" ended up being made of corduroy... I'm pregnant in the summer and don't expect to get much use out of it.
Awesome experience! Had to return some items, but was easy and didn't cost me a dime. Will definitely shop here again
It was my first order and I had received the wrong order. After contacting the company via email I am happy to say that I did receive some great customer support from the company. The item I had order of course was no longer available. I was sad about that but the nature of each item is usually there is only one. I trusted the company based on the helped I had received so I proceeded to place a new order. Just as other customers have commented, all the items were in good shape. Be sure to know your size with your favorite brands and expect that most measurements are post shrinkage. I just measure my favorite pieces and use those to help with the sizing. I believe we should recycle as much as we can. I find that when I buy something brand new after a wash or two it looks like something I can buy here on Thredup so cheers to a greener company!
Pleased w/ all the purchases. Accurate descriptions, and excellent products, and very good customer help
Ordering was a breeze and my items arrived in a timely manner!
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.
