The selection is literally spell binding! You will spend hours looking at all the possibilities, wondering how you, or your significant other, will look in this, or that.The descriptions are very accurate and you are getting the real deal, not some cheep knock off. Enjoy and buy!
Liked 2/3 of my order, have sent the other piece back, still awaiting refund. Overall good experience.
I have ordered a few things which I was pleased with. Nearly new, arrived promptly. My only hesitation is the amount of time it takes to view all the available pieces. Need to be able to really narrow down the choices
I ordered my normal sizes and nothing for. For myself I really need to try things on.
I have made 2 purchases with ThredUp so far and to say I am very satisfied is an understatement. The selection of name brands and styles are vast and the amount I am able to buy is awesome because I am saving so much money. The hardest part is the anticipation of when my items will arrive. As someone who loves to buy clothes but is constantly looking for a deal, I am obsessed with this site!
This is my second purchase from ThredUP. Great prices, good description of the items I'm purchasing and love the prices!
Overall my experience has been okay. I got a skirt that was described as navy that was actually black- that was disappointing. But when several things didn't work out from my other order I was so grateful I could return them!
What stinks is the return took quite awhile to process and I missed a 20% off free shipping sale because I was waiting to use my return credit! I guess I will justhave to wait until the next on comes along!
I love this site! The clothes were great, I had to return one item and had no issue at all. Great quality, even better prices!
I ordered a number of white dresses for my photography studio as well as a number of items for my girls. 3 of the items that were labeled as white dresses were clearly tops when I recieved them. Most of these tops were not even tunic length. All of the items were beautiful and clean. I will order again.
Great experience. No complaints or concerns whatsoever.
I love looking for quality clothes for me and my kids on this site.
Considering the fact that Thredup pays to ship my clothes to them and that they take on the risk and overhead costs associated with selling the clothes, I am very pleased with what I received for my bag of clothing. I think anybody who understands the financial aspects of retail should be pleased. Also, Thredup shares on their site their payout structure. I did my homework, so I knew what to expect. I didn't send anything I knew they wouldn't take and expected, as they stated on their site, they would take about half, which they about did. I used my credit to buy a couple things I would never have bought new (like some beautiful Cole-Haan shoes that were more comfortable than any shoes I've ever owned!). I've ordered from them 3 times and overall, been very happy. One item was not quite the condition I'd expected, but customer service was incredible. I am addicted now and have full bag ready to ship again!
The pants i just received fit well and no marks or rips on them
I always receive my packages in a timely manner, and the money I receive in exchange for my "clean out bag" items are always fair.
THANKS THREADUP
Very nice J. Crew scarf. The background color was a little different shade of red than I thought it would be, but it works! Quick ship!
The clothing was packed to perfection, it really was nice!
It was great to find nice items reduced even more! Sadly, one item was just a little bit different than I had expected. I still liked it and therefore kept it.
Great selection and pricing. Even better with 20+% discounts. It's great to be able to turn clothes that don't fit my kids anymore into a new wardrobe!
Ive ordered winter items including 11 pairs of shoes from designer brands the condition of each item was barely worn to not worn at all and the packaging is beautiful I'm very satisfied with the ease of use in the website and the customer service rendered
I am delighted at this online consignment option. I just wish shipping were a little faster.
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.
