Thread up has wonderful customer service and i love that they even have beautifully designed boxes! It makes you feel like you are buying special clothing and not used clothing.
THIS COMPANY IS NOTHING BUT A LIAR. I SEND IN SOME CLOTHES THAT WAS NEVER WORN, I WAS TOLD THEY RECEIVED THEM AND I ALSO SAW ON-LINE THAT SOME OF THEM WERE SOLD, BUT I NEVER RECEIVE A CENT.
I bought some clothes and didn't like them so I returned them. They won't give me my money back, although they agree it is my money they won't refund me. They say I can buy other stuff but will not return my money and if I don't want to buy anything then I forfeit the money. They also "bought" clothes off of me for less than 1/5 of they where worth. They also will not return them, even after I agreed to pay for them to return them. This company is also now harassing me via email. Becarful everyone. They are sly and cunning and should be shut down. I am out money and they are being very cruel.
Their are so many options and the products arrive in perfectly wrapped packages.
Only suggestion would be to update photography as it can be hard to see details
Their customer service is to be desired. I have sent in two separate emails to support regarding two issues, and I have yet to receive a response. Instead I got this email asking for my review of the company. I used to use ThredUp back when they first got started & you listed your boxes of items & loved it. But since they have changed things it has all gone down hill. I want to love ThredUp, however when I can't get a response to a simple support email, it turns me off. Larger companies such as Carter's & Old Navy have no problem responding to a support email. They even have a phone number you can call where a real person answers.
The service at this site is always good but the sizing that is on the clothes is not correct and misguided.
Not only do you not get free returns unless you just do a store credit, but, if you sell to them they offer next to nothing. I sent in clothes that where name brand, still current style, and no visible signs of wear and they had the nerve to only offer me $14! I am currently awaiting to see if I can get my clothes back. I will be dealing with trade.com from now on. My advice is you do the same.
I sent thred-up 3 huge bags full of name brand clothing, mostly women's jeans and many pairs were new. They supposedly only kept a handful of items and paid me $13. One of the sweaters alone sold for $29 when they re-sold it on their site! I paid to have the unaccepted items returned but they never were. On top of that, when I went to use the little emaount they had paid me, it had disappeared from my account. Not impressed! Wish I had read through the postings on their facebook site from all the people they've ripped off before I sent them any clothing!
I love a good deal, but going to consignment shops with my three young children is almost impossible! I love ThredUP for their vast inventory for myself and my little girls! I have found some awesome clothes and lots of items for special occasions and holidays. I have always had an easy time navigating the website and returns are a breeze. THANK YOU ThredUP!
My daughter wears land's end skorts to school everyday. They are the most comfortable and durable ones we have found. We can usually find the type she likes for under $10, including shipping. These skorts normally run $35, without shipping. Packages arrive quickly and clothing is in the condition described.
I am new to Thred Up and am loving my experience and my re-doing my wardrobe with incredible prices. Since I have shopped an made returns I have had no problems whatsoever. The returns have been timely and when emailed the support desk with any concern I am replied to within a day. Great customer service! And a great way to save money and shop for clothes that are trendy!
ThredUp is an honest and decent place to buy used women's clothing.
I resent being lock
Ed out of a site that. Makes a viewer sign in before the viewer even gets to see more than one page of items. Bad enough to get too many emails from places I like! I suggest a review as I might have wanted to buy something. You lost me...
I have purchased from thredUp several times. I think the idea for this site is fantastic! All the items I've received have been in excellent condition and I love that the selection is so stylish. The ease or returning items is great as well. The photographs show the clothes to advantage. One suggestion I would make would be to take pictures of the inside lining on jackets to help shoppers decide if they want to buy it or not.
Described as a shoulder bag but it isn't. The bag has short handles.
Thredup is a phenomenal site. In terms of shopping on the site, the site is easy to navigate and you can search for items by brand, size, color, and other specifications. Items are shipped quickly and arrive with tags on them so it really feels like you are shopping for "new" items. Love that they even carry maternity clothing now, as it is so pricey to buy that type of clothing at regular stores. Return process is also easy too (and free).
In terms of sending in clothing to thredup for sale/credit, that is also an easy process too. Sometimes I feel like the credit I get back is a bit low, but I always end up using the credit in conjunction with 20% off and free shipping promos, so it all evens out.
I love this site and honestly enjoy the convenience of shopping from my home computer.
Fast on delivery. Easy to return items Granddaughter did not like or did not fit. Waiting for credit on items. Like the dots on the box. Liked the way they were packed. When I telephoned to ask questions, the person on the other end was friendly and helpful. Will show on and off with thredUP.
I discovered Threadup's website by accident and its now my favorite place to shop! All of the merchandise I've purchased looks brand new. The website is set up beautiful and easy to browse. When the items ship they come in cute polka dot boxes wrapped in tissue, it's like a "unwrapping a special gift". It gives an exta special touch I think. I haven't had to return anything, so I can't give a review of their return policy. They also have a great referral program. I received $20 in credit for referring my cousin (she rec $20 too)... easy peasy. Overall, finally a great place where you CAN shop with Champagne taste on a Beer budget!
Descriptions of products are helpful, shipping is fast. Returns seem easy, though I haven't actually processed one yet. Clothes that I've received have been as described. I do wish there were a few more search limiters, and non repeats in the results. Overall, I've been pleased.
I bought a few pairs of jeans, items were as described! Shipping was fast and great customer service. It is a new favorite place to shop!
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
