Heading out of the country to visit our little girl, whom were in the process of adopting, I wanted to find some cute bus reasonably priced clothes for her to wear. Boy, did we hit the jackpot! The prices were perfect, everything has fit, and age looks even more adorable than usual!
I found thredUP when I wanted a vintage 70's look for a dance. I couldn't believe the quality and prices. So I went back to designer jackets and tops - 5 gorgeous items for $125. And they arrived beautifully wrapped. Great customer service.
The coat I had purchased was way too small around the chest area. Thredup website made it easy for me to return it, free shipping.
First time shopper at Thredup. Easy to find my size and prices were great for high end clothing. Shipping was quick. My only suggestion would be better descriptions and more photos with zoom capability.
I have ordered numerous times and have had a great experience every time.
Awesome service awesome products I will continue to buy from thredup for a long time
They give you very little money for your items then you find them on the site for a pretty good price. Ordered a purse that was definitely a smokers which I think they could add to the item. Some people like me have very bad allergies so I won't be able to use it at all.
I just recently discovered thredUP and I love it. I have ordered 3 times now and am very satisfied. I also ordered a clean out kit but I haven't sent it back yet. I'll update after I've done that.
Loved all the clothes and 1 pair of boots that I ordered. Very happy with the ease of shopping online and the quality products!
Recently received my 2nd order. Even tho I'm returning a few of the items (too small) I'm very impressed with the quality of the clothes. Everything I've purchased has been exactly as described. I really appreciate the program that gives a percentage of sale to the school of your choice. I will continue to shop with thredUP.
Such an easy/seamless purchase. I sell and buy through Thread Up and have never been disappointment. Perfect way to find awesome deals and flip over my wardrobe.
Very impressive care and attention to each article of clothing. Haven't dealt with customer service yet, but I would expect it to be high-caliber as well.
I have ordered a few things this past few months and I couldn't be happier with the quality and great customer service. I have been referring friends & family. I will be shopping ThredUp for all my fashion needs in 2016. Love ThredUp!
I have been so pleased with the quality of the clothing and the fast shipping. Also, I love the packaging! Who wouldn't be happy receiving a polka dot package? I highly recommend this store.
My experience has mostly been satisfactory. The items arrive in a timely manner however they are not always as described on the website. The jeans I bought were regular length when I had thought they were described as short length so I wouldn't have to hem the legs.
Love the packaging, love the prices (generally), wish I could see alternate views and close-ups of articles of clothing!
The goals of the company are wonderful... The clothing is in excellent condition! The selection is awesome. And the opportunity to purchase extremely well constructed clothes at such an incredible savings is a wonderful thing for those of us that like a bargain and live on a budget!
I ordered two tops. It was super easy, and I loved both! They were in excellent shape!
ThredUp appears to be very buttoned up... I have sent in my 2nd bag of Threds to sell... didn't make much on first bag but I didn't send the best I could have sent... so hoping my 2nd bag will be more profitable... great way to rotate the closet... My future daughter in law and sister have now submitted their 1st bag so they are excited to see how this works... good quality packaging when you purchase too... Only thing I would personally love to see is adding a VINTAGE category to sell! Just try it! I will send you the 1st bag
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.
