I just got my second box of clothes and I lover all of it. Speedy delivery.
There was a noticeable hole that was not disclosed
The clothes are great that I purchased but what I sent in my bag seemed worth more than I was given. Only about $1 an item. That's like yard sale money. Will purchase from them but probably won't use for sending clothes.
Your site is way too picky about the the items you take and the ones you do accept you pay crap for.
Love thredup, so easy to buy AND sell items. I have gone through so many polka dot bags to sell stuff I no longer wear or need, and have made decent money in the process. Love this and will continue to sell my items to them for a long time.
I am not a huge online shopper, and was nervous about quality of clothing, Glad I took the chance and proven wrong! The clothes were in excellent condition! I loved everything! I will definitely be buying again.
The website is so user friendly, so many filter options, perfect! Descriptions are not misleading and very accurate.
First, I recommend you never send clothes to them. I sent brand new items with tags about 5 pieces and received only $7 for all. Also, I find good deals but when you factor shipping prices, I can just get the same deals elsewhere and return stuff that doesn't fit for FREE. You can only get store credit with thred up otherwise you pay for shipping back to them. I will use the site again if I can't find what I want in the store or elsewhere. Its not a bad site but not the greatest.
Just select size and brand, description was dead on. Packaged arrived with clothes folded and wrapped. Could tell the items were packaged with care. Would highly recommend!
Amazing! I love being able to sell my old clothes for new-to-me ones! So easy thred up takes all the work out of the process. Love it!
Tried hard to add promo code for first order placed but wouldn't work. Kept my cart tab open top save what I wanted while waiting for a response from them on a new code or how to fix it etc. Several items I wanted in the meantime disappeared from my cart, items that went with other items that remained. So I put even more back and ended up spending way less than I would have originally and was really disappointed that I lost items. They did refund me money equivalent to the discount code but couldn't replace the items I wasn't able to purchase.
My daughter wears size 0 short pants. She can only find them at LOFT, Banana Republic, or GAP, which can cost a lot of money. However, I have been able to get her several pairs of dress and casual pants in excellent condition for under $20 a pair. Fantastic!
Ordered several times and have been more than pleased each time. Each order consisted of quite a few items.
Really love the idea of this site, but some of the items are a little overpriced. And I'd love to see more specials for free shipping. I ordered a clean out kit and have yet to send it back, so we'll see how that process goes. But overall, I've been happy with the clothes I've purchased.
The clothes were in excellent condition and I have the comfort of knowing I didn't buy them new and support the waste and abuse inherent to the clothing industry. Plus, all of the packaging is beautiful and fully recyclabl.
I enjoy thred up. It's a lot of fun! However I don't like how expensive shipping is and that it takes a long time to recieve your items. Also they charge 8$ to return an item if it doesn't work out for you. Unless you take a store credit.
Have had a great experience with ThredUp. Good quality and good fit. Would recommend highly.
Love the items I received so car. Well shop there again
Love all the clothes and prices. No issues on shipment or return items. Only thing wish you had a men clothing option and a way to save your sizes.
I appreciate that I can shop from home with such a large selection, have the items delivered to my door, and then ship them back for free and get store credit for any items I don't wish to keep. I have been very happy with my experience!
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.
