Items are in great condition, arrive in a timely manner and have always been as described. You can't beat the prices and if you aren't satisfied, returns are hassle free.
My questions were answered quickly, and they made sure I was given my 20$ referral credit quickly! It was added to my account immediately. Very helpful! Can't wait to do more shopping, and referring!
I was very happy with the jacket when it arrived. It's great and exactly what I was expecting based on what was on the website. The shipping process was several weeks long, though.
I have enjoyed shopping with thred up.
A few pieces were too big or too small.
I forgot to return a dress in time so that was a waste for me.
I hope to sell items and experience earning not only buying.
The pants and dress I bought were just as described and in good condition. They were clean and the packaging was very good. Quick shipping and good prices. I would purchase from there again
I love browsing through for items for my baby girl! We have gotten multiple items and they always exceed our expectations!
ThredUp is an excellent resource for used clothing. The search engine on the site is very useful. The products have met or exceeded my expectations. The only suggestion I would make is more accurate color description of products.
I enjoy shopping for my daughter's clothes at ThredUP. I can quickly scan the items and key in on the style she likes. In past orders the clothes i have purchased have been in excellent condition, like new. I do wish the delivery was a bit faster. I have sent in some clothes and have been somewhat disappointed in the prices offered, especially for items with tags. But overall, i keep coming back to ThredUP every time my daughter grows.
The site grabbed my credit card and completed my purchase before I was ready. Customer service allowed me to return my items easily and credited my account.
My experience has mostly been positive. Have only returned three items considering I have purchased 4 times. The only problem I have are the prices. Some of the prices are ridiculous. I wanted to purchase a pair of Drew sneakers and the "original" price that Thred-up gave ($190.00) was an outright lie. I went to the Drew Shoe Webiste and they are $152.00. Now I feel like I have check the Thred-up price for Shoes against the website. I feel the same about their prices for handbags and wallets. Thred-up charges too much for used handbags and wallets.
My experience with Thredup has been nice. I have sold clothes to them and bought clothes. The clothes I have bought have been for me and my 20 month old daughter.
I like how new items are added daily. I've enjoyed the items I bought. My only hesitation is that the photos and descriptions don't always show the details I like. For example, I just bought a long wool coat that I thought was heavy wool meant to bear the elements of the Northeast. Instead, it was a light wool coat that I should wear indoors or on mild days.
I have ordered from Thred Up twice and been pleased both times with the quality of the items, the price and speed with which I received my order.
When I have clothes I no longer need, I donate them. With thredup, I easily mail them away, and what they cannot use, they donate. The only difference for me is that I drop off clothes at the post office instead of a donation center. Everything I've purchased through thredup has been of great quality and I've enjoyed it. Great company!
I ordered a few pieces at the end of December, and didn't get them until about two weeks later. The time to process returns and polka dot bags is excessive too. In times where 2 day shipping is the norm, this company has to catch up. In the time I'm waiting for things to process, I lose interest in threadup. I value my time more than saving money. That's why I elect to shop online instead of in person. I know the company is going through growing pains right now, but the slow processing is really holding them back.
I really enjoy thredUP. I think it's a great idea and a great way to get some nice things. I ordered a pair of adorable shoes but unfortunately they were too big so I had to send them back.
Clothes are finally affordable when you shop this way! Great return policy.
I love thredup. Great clothes, great condition, great price. How it should be.
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.
