I order on line, is easy, website easy to navigate, order arrived on time, every time I order and products are exactly at described..
Items in great condition, fast delivery, easy return (1 item)
I was very happy to see many extended sizes on ThredUp, and have purchased twice already.
As a buyer there were good deals.
As a seller, I was very surprised at items not accepted, including never-worn designer children's clothes from Jacadi, Oilily, etc., yet gently worn items from Gymboree, Gap, etc. were accepted. I will never send nice, designer clothes there again and will probably not send clothes there in general. However, I would shop there again.
I was very happy with my shopping experience! The prices are fantastic, the selection is really broad and it was delivered to my house Ina fantastic polka dot box! Great touch. I'll be shopping here often!
Love this business concept! And the prices are great! Have had a very positive experience shopping with ThredUp. Had two deliveries so far. Had to return a few items both times. Was because just didn't like the fit, not due to anything wrong with the items. Return is quick and easy and received the refund pretty quickly also. Very happy and will continue to buy from ThredUp!
Even though sandals were correct size, neither pair fit. Very disappointing.
The whole site is dreamy the custumer service is A+++++++ and that there is awesome beans in my books. They have just about anything and everything on their site I just cant get enough
This is a great site! It was easy to browse through and pick out what I wanted. I appreciated being able to sort by size... it made the process much easier. Shipping was quick and the packaging was great. Overall a great shopping experience!
Prompt delivery of excellent new/used clothing. Packaged beautifully and clothing in excellent shape, as described. This is a great value
I really enjoy buying items in Thred up. I recommend it. They have good deals.
I had 2 accts, one on my phone and one on my laptop, but the searches didn't match. So when I questioned Thredup, they were going to delete one or I had to merge them. They only allow you to search and purchase items from one facility. They say its to help with shipping times. So even though my daughter lives 15 minutes away, we are linked to different facilities. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Great items at great prices. Everything easy here, and I love that!
I cleaned out my closet and sent in a bag then used my credit to purchase several new pieces. The items on Thredup move fast, so if you see something you like, put it in your cart or you might miss your chance! Also I sent a lot of really nice, name brand and new items and only got $40 credit which seemed low considering the price of the items I mailed in. Still, I got rid of clothes I wasn't wearing and have new knes that I will, so it's a win/win!
I've used ThredUp twice now and I'm so pleased with the selection and pricing. I didn't expect the clothes to arrive in such a nice package either! All of my items have been in near perfect condition and the return process was really easy. I like how you can narrow down sizes and brands easily. There are a lot of department store websites that still can't handle more than one size or brand selection at a time! The kid's clothing I've received has also been great. New addiction!
Very pleased with my order! Grandaughter loves her new shorts! Her favorites! The shipping was fairly fast and all ready ordered another order! Thanks! :)
Great selection of items, good prices, easy-to-use site, great service, love the way items are packaged.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
