I was very excited to see the ad on Facebook for an online thrift store, and as a thrift store shopper of many years, wish I'd thought of it first! Keep innovating, I love the idea of the Clean Out Bag!
My son's hoodie looks like it's brand new! It's incredible how meticulous your inspection team is when receiving merchandise-this is about the 5 the item I've gotten from thread up and no stains, holes or pilling!
Thank you!
Its very easy and very fast. Quickly email response! Love the prices
Very satisfied-great customer service-nice way to shop
Everything is peachy except your return policy is the biggest lump of bullcrap I've ever seen. $9 restocking fee is ridiculous.
The pictures accurately reflect the product being purchased!
Loved the clothes I found and their prices. But the clothes were just put in a box that was too large with no packaging around any of the individual pieces, so when I opened the box it all looked like a big jumbled mess. The real issue though was it was all very wrinkled.
When you give the chest sizing you list them in inches. This is very confusing. Why not list them in bra sizes? Example 34 or 40. I had a problem with the delivery. I am told by many people that smartpost does not work smoothly. I'm sure if you check my account you will see what my problem was. I had talked with the post office and they were not happy with packages coming to them from FedX to be delivered by them. I know this is the least expensive way for you but it's not good if they can't find the package.
I first used thredUP a couple of months ago for my granddaughter's birthday. From ease of use through quality of clothing and shipping, thredUP met or exceeded my best online shopping experiences!
I have ordered several things from ThredUp, and the experiences have been great. I love the stuff I've kept, but even more I love how easy the return process is for the stuff I haven't kept. Online shopping is hard, but ThredUp makes it easy and enjoyable.
It is very disheartening to find out that they're is going to be sick a delay in having my items reviewed. If I was alerted sooner I would have chosen to list sell them myself for real money. Not a good way to start a relationship.
Love everything about thredUP!
Cell phone app is easy to use.
Great inventory, awesome prices, quick shipping, thoughtful packaging and everything I have ordered has been in pristine condition and exactly what was shown.
Thank you!
Have not sold anything yet. What I have purchased has been great
I wasn't aware that I'd not rec. A refund but a credit to the account.
I love the prices and the huge selection but the images of the clothes are highly deceptive. They look different in person and fit odd. On one sweater I bought there was a rip in it I had to sew the first day I wore it. At first I thought this website was amazing then I realized there were obvious reasons why people were turning in their clothes. They looked and felt weird. I've wanted to return so many items but I don't have a printer so it's really inconvenient for me. So I just cancelled my membership instead.
Thredup has been really great - they've made online shopping a ton of fun!
The filter options make it so easy to find exactly what I want. I found just what I needed in a few minutes after I had spent hours in the mall with no luck. The clothes are perfect and I'm already a repeat customer.
I sent in my clothes a month ago. I am still waiting for them to process my bag. After they process my bag, I'll still have to wait another 15 days for payout. Ridiculous.
I really love this website. The clothes I ordered came in perfect shape. I got a couple Lululemon shirts as well as some other casual wear clothes. I sent both of my daughters the link and they are just as thrilled. I would recommend this to anyone!
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.
