The selection was great and affordable. The garment arrived well packaged and was just what I expected.
Love the clothes. The sizing is a little difficult and I would like more description.
I still love the idea of thredUP, but not as much as I did my first order.
I understand that offering somene a 40% off coupon on their first order is a great way to draw them in. Personally, though, if you want to keep me as a customer for a long time, I'd recommend offering more coupons for returning customers (I did use a 10% off one, but it honestly seemed insignificant compared to the previous one). Sorry if I'm ranting about something so small, but I just wanted to give you some food for thought.
Ultimately, thanks for providing me a great way to get clothes at a great price.
Very pleased with my purchases. Quick shipping, great care in packaging! Have not been disappointed in the products.
I use ThreadUp as a compliment to StitchFix. When I get a fix I get to try new styles, colors, and patterns. I purchase what I love, and then search and buy similar items on ThreadUp. These two apps make clothes shopping awesome and easy!
I ordered 6 1/2 Coach shoes which are in incredible condition. The wrapping said 6 1/2, the order sheet says 6 1/2 but the shoes are 8 1/2. I now have to go through the hassle of returning them which should be easy. After spending a half hour on my phone frustrated because I couldn't figure out how to return them, I went to my computer. Apparently you can only do this from an actual computer. It was just a needless headache.
I love the way Thred Up displays the clothing! I am happy with their explanations about the condition of the clothing. I have purchased two orders and am very satisfied with the clothing. I am also pleased that the clothing has fit me as well.
I've had multiple orders that did not arrive in the condition that was described.
Items are also often mislabeled - I've received children's clothes that stated they were women's, numerous junior's clothes that stated they were women's.
I also would order a lot more if I had information. I can't always tell how long a dress is, shirt is, inseam/style of jeans. If I'm not sure, I won't order it. Give us more information!
Items I order often come with an "Oops!" email prior to shipping... because they don't have the item to ship.
These are all constant problems with this company.
While customer service is always great to work with, there are just way too many problems with this site. It's TRULY an irritation for the customer and doesn't seem to be getting better.
Shopping through ThredUp's site is easy and effortless to navigate. They have constant deals and specials that are great for my budget. Each item I've ordered so far has been surprisingly accurate, color wise they are stunning and the fits are spot on! Even if there's something wrong, their return policy is assuring and for MY benefit. Shipping takes 3 days or less so far. Love it!
The product I purchased matched the description exactly. And the delivery was timely. Will I shop there again? You betcha!
Did I really just buy 7 blouses, one dress, and two pairs of jeans, some of which are designer brands and all of which looks brand new, for $100?
I love the selection available on thredUP and that I can buy quality clothing significantly less than retail. Fast shipping and great packaging. I'd just like more photos/angles of each item.
Of ten pieces eight are fabulous! I appreciate the easy return process for the two items I don't like.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
