Found what I wanted at the right price. Also happy I could sign up my gradn kids school!
Easy to narrow search, arrived fast and everything for great. Prices are awesome.
Excellent Customer service - easy no hassle returns and purchases
The item was like brand new, but it took forever to get here. This is the second item I have ordered and both took a long time to arrive.
They have made consigning and donating so easy! I just fill up the bag, drop it off and then get an email telling me they received the bag. Each time an item sells I also receive an email. So much easier than selling myself or taking to my local consignment shop. Buying things is just as easy!
I love this site I find awesome deals and very nice clothing. I love that I can get name brand clothing and the prices are great!
I've ordered quite a few things through ThredUp & usually they're pretty good. There has been a few times where the clothes I've ordered have had holes in them, which resulted in me having to throw away the item, because it was not suitable to wear in public. There has also been a few times where the shirts I've ordered are a lot bigger than what has been shown in the photos. When the clothes I've ordered were hole-free, the quality was excellent.
Thanks, ThredUp! I've thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of using your service. I've been so thrilled I've mentioned your site to several people! At this time I've sent in two clean-out bags, purchased clothes from the site, and donated to my school of choice locally from my purchases. I will continue to use ThredUp!
Quality of clothing items are good. Shipping time is average. I don't like that returns are processed as product credit rather than refunded to your original payment method. Items are a bit pricey for 2nd hand. Swap.com seems to have more reasonable pricing with the same quality.
I have sold clothes to Thredup 3 times and have been satisfied with the reimbursement as well as their service. Each time I have purchased from Thredup I
Have been more than satisfied with the clothes and service received.
I had credits from selling and used to buy a skirt. The skirt was a steal and in perfect condition! The best part my order came lightning fast within days!
Very cool place to get great "stuff" for a good prices. Shipping estimates seem to be off by a few days. Otherwise... all good.
In placing my most recent order, I used the code supplied to receive a 20% discount on my purchase, plus free shipping. Through no fault of my own, the code supplied and entered when placing my order, did not work and I was charged the full price plus shipping. Called and left message to correct the problem and received no response. Had to resort to e-mail, which was answered and credit is supposed to be applied. A buyer should not have to go through a frustrating and time consuming experience like this.
I've been very impressed by this company... their quality of clothing is great, website design is very professional and chic, ease of ordering and returning items is great! My only request is that their payments for clothes that you sell to them would be a bit more reasonable... it's seems they are extremely underpaying for items.
Pick up clothes was great. Amount given for clothes was really bad and I did not receive a statement of clothes donated so I can use that as a tax deduction. I will try one more bag and see how that goes. Great idea
The items were exactly what they looked like online, were received well packaged and in good condition. Will use them again!
I wanted to love ThredUp, but my experience has been average. Their packaging and boxes are gorgeous, and the inside flyer about their company mission is brilliant, however, I sent a package of clothing and was disappointed in the amount I received based upon what they sold the items for and can do better at my local resale shop. My last purchase, shipping has taken a longer time than anticipated. The selections for plus sizes have been marginal.
Great item, fast shipping, loved the emails letting me know when my package was on the way!
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.
