I really enjoy shopping with thred up but was disappointed when I sent in my items to sell. I sent in a huge bag of items and almost all or all were purchased and I got 25 dollars, I felt cheated. I will shop here but won't be sending in my items anymore. I am better off taking items to a walk in consignment shop or selling on eBay.
ThredUp makes it easy to send your unwanted clothes and accessories---just order a clean-out bag! Big, self sealing, and postage paid, there's room to get rid of everything you don't love! Send it back and they will quickly process your items, and you will have a credit (or take a cash payout, or donate it to a charity). I use the credits to shop, because ThredUp has everything! Designer clothes... kids stuff... purses... and the prices are a fraction of what you might expect to pay!
Shipping is quick and returns are simple. What are you waiting for? Start shopping Thredup today!
Thredup has a great selection of clothes at reasonable prices (for the clothes being gently warn). Shipping take a while and returns seem to take a while too. If they could improve the turn around time I would give it five stars.
I love the shirt and pants I got--such a great price! I had to return one shirt--too small, but Thredup made the return easy as pie! I will be back to buy more!
Thredup is the business I wish I started.
I wish they had men's clothes - I think that might be the only thing I can find that is lacking.
Thanks for helping me find and afford clothes that make me feel comfortable and making it easy to reduce and reuse. It's very important for me, my daughter and our world.
I have bought clothes for myself and clothes for my daughters. Everything we purchased was in great shape and looked great. I got the girls quite a few NWT items that I was super thrilled about. I've also earned credit by cleaning out my own closet. The process is simple and easy and I was pleased with what they offered me for my clothes. We will continue to do business with thredUp.
I went on threadUP on recommendation of a friend. I love designers but not the prices. Everything I've purchased has been excellent quality and fit.
Purchased more than three times at this store, and I always had a great buying experience. Thredup website is easy to navigate, and items are well describe. Also, items are beautifully boxed, and arrived at expected delivery.
I have been recommending ThredUp to friends, and will always be.
This site has some great bargins! All items have a good description! Shipping has been fast! Glad I tried it!
This isn't the first time I made a purchase from ThredUp and I have always been very satisfied and never had any issues or problems. It is a great shopping experience and everything always comes packed beautifully.
I loves the styles and the price in some case. Some clothes are bran new or looks fair new. Before going to the retail and paying full price or 25% of retail price. I come on this website to see if I can found similar styles for about 75%of the retail price. You still look stylish and current without spending lot of money. I wish shipment wouldn't take so long from from the West Coast. Overall, I do like this website and recommend this site too several of my friends.
I have recently made three purchases from thredup in the past two months and everything has came in perfect condition! I love using there website since it is easy to use and it has great clothes!
Need to send back a pair of pants that unfortunately did not fit. I forgot my password and could not find anywhere on the site to contact someone or anything to help me retrieve my password. Could not sign into my account to get what I needed to return my pants ( needed to print label and could not do that on my home computer) Finally after much finageling I was able to print out one sheet. Customer service site?
I have ordered several items from thredup and have found all descriptions to be accurate. My only negative feedback is (understandably) items will remain in your cart for a limited time. They do a great job of emailing you to let you know your cart will be expiring, however when I am in their app, searching for additional products, no notice pops up and your items are removed. I missed out on a shirt because of this. I would have purchased them but i wanted to make sure there werent additional items since I qualified for free shipping. Items arrive quickly and very nicely packaged!
This was the second time I ordered from ThredUp and both of my experiences have been very good. The packages arrived on time and the contents were in good shape. The only thing I noticed was that a blazer I bought had a little stain on it and I didn't know that, but you can't see it. I highly recommend this site if you want to get rid of some clothes and love online shopping!
I had bought a few times from them and finally decided to sell to them. I sent a huge bag of items in. Over a month later I found out they accepted 4 items and I got about $4 in credit. They don't tell you that they only give you 10% of what they make off your item. Their business model is extremely profitable because of their lack of transparency.
The clothing was just as the picture shows and the quality was exceptional! Very satisfied with the products :)
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
