I have both ordered and sold to thredup and won't be using them again for either. The merchandise I received was overpriced and one pair of maternity leggings paid for was so worn they were practically see through when I got them. There was also FOOD crusted onto the sleeve on a zip up hoodie that was purchased.
I did a clean out and they accepted twenty two items and was paid 17.90 for them. Considering I paid over fifty dollars for items ordered (at forty percent off!) it is easy to see these people are clearly making bank off of what they accept. They also failed to disclose that they charge a 2% PayPal fee if you choose to cash out your earnings instead of shopping on their website. Overall, pretty despicable practices in my opinion. Definitely a place I am going to steer clear of in the future.
Description mentioned a minor scratch. However, there was more than one scratch and the bottom of the purse was worn and this was not mentioned. The item was way over priced for the condition. Other items I have ordered were fine I guess that is why this was so disappointing.
I have a really hard time finding Jeans that fit in the local thrift stores. And retail prices are ridiculous. ThredUp really helps. Magically, everything they have sent fits great!
It's manageable to find clothes that are good quality, and the price is absolutely worth it. The clothes come clean and packaged well. Everyone seems friendly. I am really happy with everything I've received and kept and also with their customer service when I have returned items.
I love ThredUp. Loosing my other online consignment shop was a downer and ThredUp has certainly filled the void. The site can be a little tough (they don't give exact measurements of clothes and you can't seem to save your size information on your profile), but overall, it's a great place to buy and sell awesome frocks.
I appreciate the site's filtering functions to quickly search for what I need.
I'm not sure who is to blame, perhaps the US Postal Service, but I've never received one of my packages. The expensive one. I keep hoping it'll make it to me some how, but I suppose it's doubtful. The post office says it was delivered but I was home at the delivery time they claimed.
I've had two great experiences with thredUP so far! The items are shipped quickly, easy to track, and prices can't be beat. The return policy also is very fairy and easy to follow.
I have had nothing but great experiences from ThredUp. I have made almost 10 purchases, and I have bought some great pieces at fabulous prices. The items I don't like, I return for free and get credit put on my account. It's such an easy process. I tell everyone I know about ThredUp!
This is my 2nd attempt with ordering from Thred-up and for some reason the pants are always too tight. I am a Petite 2 and for some reason the pants are always too tight.
I sent a full bag of name brand clothes in excellent condition and received less than $8.00 credit. I could have made more money selling the clothes in a yard sale.
I love Thredup and I keep telling people about it. All the clothes I have purchased are in great condition and packaged very cute and professionally. I have found they have amazing service and whenever there are questions they always get answered in a timely manner.
It was great getting 40% off my first order and I appreciate the free exchanges. I have ordered great pieces a second time, but the majority of the clothes I saw while searching seemed outdated or for older, non-stylish women. It seems like the way they portray themselves in emails is hot trends for stylish women and their kids, but the items they choose to sell aren't matching that style. Need more than 10% off coupons to make it worth buying some of the items, too. Great company, there's just a disconnect between advertising and actual inventory.
Everyone has been extremely helpful, even when I had small questions about the process at ThredUp. So much fun! I plan on using their site quite a bit!
Very Legit. Items are represented accurately and I love the attention to detail that the polka dot box provides. It's fun to see that on my doorstep!
I've ordered from thredUP twice and both experiences have been excellent! Items arrived quickly and were just as described - Fit was perfect and as cute as the pictures. It made me smile to see the extra effort put into the shipping containers as well. Happy, Happy, Happy! Thanks thredUP!
I was very impressed with how quick my package shipped and the quality of the clothing. When I received my package, it looked as if someone had taken time to neatly package the clothing. I was amazed that the clothing was actually wrapped in tissue paper, not just thrown into a plastic bag for shipping. I have ordered several times and will order again. I have also recommended this site to all my friends.
Other than one order where I did not get the discount - everything has been good. When I tried to enter the code it jumped to next page
Since then- it has been fine.
I love the site especially the reasoning behind it. There is too much waste and they are putting perfectly great clothes on the market for much less. It allows people like me to shop without feeling guilty. Thank you and keep up the excellent work!
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.
