Excellent customer service and high quality goods.
I ordered two dresses. One fit like a glove and was perfect for an upcoming wedding... the other didn't fit. Returning the item was easy peasy... I've already ordered three more items.
I get the labels I want at prices I can afford. And everything arrives in great shape. Helping my wallet and the planet is a win-win.
I still have not received an update regarding my return. I have learned that the return process for Thredup is a long one. I would not recommend returning items through this website.
I love my new skirts. It is as if I bought them out of the store.
One of suggestions would be to add actual measurements. A size 8 at Ann Taylor is different than a size 8 at H&M. Other than that, a big yes to my purchase. =D
Good experience overall, however I find some of the brands to be not much less than I can find brand new on sale. Lower the prices a bit would make me shop more.
The purse was as expected, and the swimming suit was better. The shipping always seems to take a little longer than I would like other wise the stuff I order is nice.
Found SO many items I wanted for me and my kids. I'm glad I can search by price, though---some of these items are very pricey. There are definitely things for all price ranges, however. My one complaint is that there aren't any men's clothes!
It was easy to place the order, it arrived on time, and the packaging and condition of the items was great. I'm very satisfied.
I love shopping and consigning with thredUP. They made it really easy to send in a bag full of clothes, which I then received credit for that I could shop with!
So far I have found two great maternity dresses - I appreciate the maternity section because who wants to pay full price to wear something a few times?!
Pros:
> Selection of clothing - variety of categories and price ranges
> Filters are excellent
> Great merchandising
> Great return policy
> Great displays of clothing
> Love the "condition" section
Cons:
> Would like to be able to save filters instead of setting my size each time I use the app.
> Would like to be able to "X" out of clothing in searches I'm not interested in so it won't show up in my searches within my account again
> Slower shipping than I'd like to see but I think companies like Amazon have created that culture - I guess I can wait:)
> Some have "no fabric content" - even if it's not on the tag are you able to tell? It is a buying decision make or break for me personally.
Overall highly recommend! Just picky on the cons but I hope that's helpful!
I bought 28 items got my new grand daughter. They were in fabulous shape at great prices! I can't wait to shop again at Thredup!
Have really had no issues with anything I ordered. Actually, just one. I ordered a shirt that said it was a 1x and turned out to be a 2x.
But happy with everything else :)
This is the third time I've ordered from thredUP and have been very happy with each purchase. This time was important - a coat for my granddaughter to wear in her mom's outdoor wedding. It was the perfect color, fit and in great condition (I added a fake fur collar to match her mom's new wedding coat). So happy with it!
The shipping was a little slow. The items come nicely packaged. Some items are not as nice as expected. It would cost more to return the item I was not satisfied with. Other items received were like new, I was very pleased.
I really enjoyed my shopping experience with thredUP. My items arrived in a timely manner too.
My one suggestion is... can you please allow for more items to show up on the page so that I don't have to keep hitting the next button to view more items? Maybe have a VIEW ALL button?
Thanks again!
I ordered two items and never received a confirmation email or an email saying the items had been shipped, but my card was charged the full amount.
I reached out the the customer service email and had to type and send my question twice, replying directly to the emails as requested, and it looks like they still were not getting my emails. I called their customer service line and left a voicemail but still have not heard back.
I have been keeping an eye on my order status and just learned that it has been shipped but is taking 10 days to get to me... in the continental US, you can travel form California to Virginia in less time.
Cute idea and some really cute stuff but this will be my first and final purchase from the site. As a used clothing online store, you need to be more transparent and on top of communication glitches.
I just love what I picked and they came in perfect condition.
Staff are really sweet and ready to help with questions.
The first item I ordered, a sweater, it was too small for a Medium and I didn't care for the fabric so I returned it. I inadvertantly selected store credit instead of getting my money back so I had to order something else. The second time I ordered I selected a zip-up hoody and a hat. I was once again disappointed with the size and the material. Instead of returning the items I donated them to a local charity.
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.
