What a great find. So easy to return items that didn't fit. Only 2 out of 9 items I bought were not the right fit for me. Will shop at thredUP again!
My clothes came back fast. And they look just like they look on the website. I will definitely be ordering more stuff from you all. LOVE my clothes!
Love this company. Their packaging always makes me smile when it arrives. They go the extra mile.
I was satisfied with most of my order, but it's hard to be totally clear on what your getting with only a front and back view of the item. I was searching for dresses, one that I ordered was listed as a dress and looked cute from the pictures. When I received it it was obviously a tunic, not a dress. There are slots on the sides that go way up almost to the waistline. This wasn't mentioned in the description, and wasn't visible from the photos. The item was not listed properly.
I haven't found many pieces that I like on thredup, but they do have some good deals and ordering and shipping was quick and easy
I made three separate purchases with ThredUp. The items were as described and shipping was speedy too. I had to contact customer service (finding that was very difficult, I finally went thru the BBB, and the company phone number was listed on BBB website), and ThredUp had wonderful customer service. I would definitely shop here again!
Searching issues, inaccurate pricing in cart.
When trying to search for an item that I previously had saved it still states it's available but I cannot access it and save it to my cart and thereby cannot purchase it. Problems with mobile app as well.
Love everything I've bought from thredUP, comes in a timely manner and packed perfectly, everything fits as sized and looks just like pic, but better!
I have received 2 boxes and both were great. I bought a top for my bff and she loved it.
The only thing I don't like is that most everything needs to be ironed.
The site is awesome and well managed.
I love thrift stores, consignment stores, garage sales etc. so I figured I'd try an online consignment store at least once. The blouse I ordered was beautiful but too small. The return instructions were as easy as Amazon and once I was credited I ordered a pair of shoes. I was surprised at how quickly they came and they were exactly as described. Both shipments were packaged beautifully. And best of all they fit.
I will definitely use them again,
ThredUP disappeared from my sight line for some time. A few weeks ago they popped back up on social media. A quick perusal discovered a skirt and two sweaters that were worth my attention, my time, and my money. Thanks!
This was my third order with thredUP and again it was great! The prices were great and everything I ordered is in great condition!
Fast delivery, great product as shown on website. Love the packaging!
Ive noticed that it does some effort to fish out a decent piece. I no longer trust the final sale items. The last one I bought wasn't wearable at all, possibly because the previous owner had shrunken it in the wash.
ThredUp is an amazing site/store! The site is set up wonderfully and its easy to use. I was able to find AMAZING name-brand items at AMAZING prices. The prices literally can not be beaten! Each item that I received met beyond my expectations & were just like new! Order came in in a timely manner. Plus you get $10.00 FREE on your first order!
I have ordered twice now. The clothes were in very good shape: clean, neat and pressed. I am returning 4 items that did not fit, so we will see how that goes. I like that you can order by brand, or description. The non returnable ones were just fine.
So much fun! I've been having a blast de-cluttering my wardrobe and finding unique replacement pieces to wear for the summer. It was so satisfying to fill up that green polka-dotted bag and easy to drop it off at my local post office round the corner. And the excitement of receiving a polka-dotted box with new goodies is a highlight of the week!
I found the tote to be beautiful. It arrived as described - just like new from the store. I am very pleased.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
