One of my new favorite online shopping sites. Amazing deals and delivers quick. Would recommend to anyone!
I have found so many great items for myself and my mom. Beautiful condition, some with tags! Some of which I could never afford at full price. This is a way to indulge myself and not hurt my budget at all.
Customer service is stellar and prompt. What else is there?
I was a little hesitant to try used clothing. Not anymore. I ordered 6 items. All were in like new condition and fir s fraction of the price. I'm hooked!
I've been very happy with the quality and price of clothing on thredUp. I'm a repeat customer, and will continue to shop at this site.
A great way to stop shopping elsewhere! Have turned many friends onto your site.
I love this site! Products are like new. Sizing can be tricky bit so far only 2 things didn't fit.
I ordered these things for a wedding and they were 2 days later that expected but its ok.
Excellent web site and delivery is prompt. Clothes are clean and in the condition advertised and in a cute little box!
I have never bought used clothing before. The reason why I went on thredUP's website was because I went to buy Levi's 501 jeans. The last time I bought a pair was two years ago at a cost of $25. Imagine my shock when those jeans were over $100 a pair. I went on thredUP, because I refused to pay that kind of money for jeans. I got 3 pair of jeans for less than $50. Bought some tops also, and were pleased with them. Neither showed a lot of wear. The only complaint I had was regarding the tops, which were very wrinkled.
Bought 3 items, and returned them all. 2 didn't fit, and the last item was covered in animal hair. The return process was painless. You either get free shipping with a credit to your account, or pay for return shipping and get the amount returned to original form of payment. That sucked a bit, but what can you do? Most likely won't use this, or any other resale website in the future.
LOve the promotions! Sometimes I like to spend a time just looking for sale items. And every single piece is delivered on time and on a cute box. Everything is very clean and some look never used.
I love all the items I have gotten! Everything is as its described, so I haven't returned a thing. Shipping is hassle free & fast!
I absolutely love my jeans. They were a perfect fit and the length was perfect too. Shipping and notification was timely. Love it and will continue to shop here!
It's great having a place to send all the stuff you need to clear out of your closets. It's nice to know that whatever can't be sold will be donated responsibly. Very helpful for those of us who don't have the time or ability to drive our donations out to a shop. Just wish payouts were a little bigger. Otherwise, no complaints. Keep up the great work! It's a wonderful service.
Everything was as described. Shipped quick and cute packaging.
I was disappointed to find a shirt I ordered was completely see through on the front. When I wrote customer service, they sent me the picture used to show the back of the shirt with 2 circles in the top corners indicating sheer fabric. It was not easy to notice these areas from the back picture while shopping on my phone. Now I am stuck with a see through shirt that I have absolutely no use for, and the sale was final.
ThredUp is very easy to use and a great way to be green about shopping. You can sell old clothes and purchase new with the credit or just shop for fun. As a working mom it is great since they have adult and kid clothes.
Reviews are spot on. Good to buy but don't sell to them with any expectations of getting any money. Better to give to charity and take tax deduction.
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.
