I like buying thrifty and eco-friendly. This site helps me do both. I love the pants and bag I bought. Thank you!
Items described perfectly and shipped so nice! I would definitely shop and buy again!
First off, they barely compensate you for your items and have inconsistent standards for what they accept. Second, I have gone round and round with customer service over $15. They emailed me saying my bag had been processed and that would've my payout and now they are saying they have no record of it. I sent a screen shot of their email to me and they keep referencing previous bags I sent and saying I've already been paid. I told them I sent one in June and she said I collected the money for it in November of last year. Seriously? What a joke
Great experience, clothes arrived quickly and as shown and described. Ive gotten numerous compliments on the clothing and no one has to know i saved a fortune!
My 1st order in this site was screwed up. I ordered 3 items. When my package arrived, 2/3 items I ordered were present and the 3rd was missing. In its place was another item that was nothing like the item I ordered. When I reached out to customer service, she said the item could not be found and they dont know how this happened. Understand that mistakes happen, but the generic "sorry for any inconvenience" responses I received did not assure me that this error wouldn't happen again, or that they even cared. The items I ordered while used, we're not cheap either.
I've ordered 2 delivers so far, a few items each time and they have been EXACTLY what I thought. I ordered new with tags and the ideas were just that. It's an absolute bargain! They don't always have what I'm looking for but it you frequent the site things do come up! It's a brilliant idea!
Everything I ordered was of very nice quality. Thank you for such fast delivery.
Each item was just as pictured/described. Cute packaging, fast shipping.
I love the shirt! Quick shipping and excellent packaging. Thanks!
I ordered several different items from your website at an amazingly low price's. The only item I wear are the shoes, but they were non refundable so I'll try to wear them in due to the fact you can stretch shoes out but you can't make them smaller. I wear size 5.5 shoes and sizes 00 petite which are all super hard to find in stores here in Rocky Mount NC so I'll be buying more if the need presents a chance to purchase new clothes.
Happy to do business with Thred Up. They get the orders together and get them shipped out the same day or the next day. Great communication and a wonderful customer Service. Some stuff is over priced for my income but I can find things that I can get with in my spending. Thank You ThredUp Your Great...

I love shopping for name brand clothing on Thredup. They have SO much selection and you can find some really great hidden gems for low prices. I also love how easy it is to send in your clothes for cash. LOVE it!
I received the pre-sale evaluation credit for $29.00. Just over half the barely and never worne clothing I sent have sold so far for a total of $66. Seems like a big benefit for them; not so much for me. (Note: And the $29 credit I was through a special program they did with Macy's. It was supposed to get that credit May 13. Six weeks later, still waiting.
I saw this website while on Facebook and decided to check it out. I have purchased twice from the site and absolutely love it! The prices are great and they have tons of items to choose from. And, the best part? Receiving your purchases in the most adorable polka dot box! When you receive it, you feel like you're receiving items from an expensive store because they take such great pride in how they ship it. When you open the box and see everything wrapped in adorable tissue it makes it even better. Kudos to the creators of this site for giving us an inexpensive way to shop but feeling like you've spent lots of money!
They sent me the wrong item in the mail, and they're only options for return are things that cost me money. Considering they were the ones who messed up my order, I'd say I'm pretty dissatisfied. Nothing has been done to rectify the situation, so I have a pair of pants that don't fit me that I paid money and shipping for.
I have ordered twice now from ThredUP and am incredibly satisfied. The products are great and the shipping is fast. I love that I don't feel like I'm getting a used product. Love this site!
I had been looking and then finally decided to try Thred Up. I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the merchandise I purchased. I told a co-worker and showed her a wallet that I had purchased. She decided to shop and buy. Then I showed my 20 year old daughter, and of course she found a couple of things. She was very happy with her purchase. We all like the polka dot packaging and appreciate the care that is taken when packing and shipping. So fun. Great prices. Great deals.
Rip off.
I know for a fact that the items I sent were in great condition... some with tags on them... and a payout of $29... what a joke!
I paid more than that for the Arizona jeans alone & Thredup has them posted for $18!
Thredup accepted 42 items. That's less than a dollar per item
I will NEVER use this again...
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
