Like brand new clothing big hole in sleeve of sweat shirt, would not even donate to good will
Great website, great products, wonderful customer service! I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience.
Great service, shipping, and clothing! Will continue to purchase from
My experience with thredup was excellent, my baby clothes arrived perfectly an on time
I was impressed with the packaging and quality of the clothing was true to word. My only disappointment was that some pictures were misleading.
I now research each piece of clothing that I am going to order. This way I can see the same article of clothing from a different view so to say. It helps me decide if I am going to order that piece or not.
Other than a few misleading photos, I am incredibly satisfied.
Thank you, ThredUp!
I really appreciate this website. I don't usually order with rush on shipping but that's ok. So far I ve ordered two handbags I.ve been very pleased with
Love ThredUp. Packages always arrive neatly packed in tissue paper and in excellent condition. Returns are also very easy!
I recently ordered clothing from ThredUp, and found it to be a great experience! To be able to browse all those wonderful items, focusing only on my size and preferences, was just plain fun. Following ThredUp's "Only keep it if you LOVE it" suggestion, I DID love what I kept. Some of the coolest clothes EVER! And returning clothes was easy, with free shipping and a very workable return policy.
I really dont have a lot of money and the money

Never when i buy something for me and with this i have a lot of free clothing rhe i really need i have to say thank for have this app the is so awesome now i got mor stuff i never would think the this happend ever
I returned some items for "store credit" and when I placed my second order, I was told that the system could not credit my most recent purchase with the credit for the previously returned items. I will not order from thredUP again, and am considering my legal options for reimbursement.
I like your site and service. I needed some extra shopping help and came across your site. Very helpful. Now if I could get some of my stuff out of my closet...:>)
I really like shopping with thredUP. There is always something new to see, and the variety of items is huge! The return policy is fantastic, as well. I have had, on a few occasions, problems with items that I purchased that could have been avoided with a bit more detailed product description. One item I purchased did not indicate that it was a petite size, and another item had open-shoulder sleeves that did not appear in the photographs. I returned both without any hassle other than time. Overall, thredUP is my first source for "new" clothes!
I've ordered four pieces from ThredUp, two blouses and two dresses. I was a little unsure at first because I don't believe I've ever purchased from a thrift store but this was pretty amazing. Every piece came clean and if I hadn't known it was from a thrift store I would have never known. Now, before I look for anything on eBay, I always check ThredUp first!
So... a friend who knows how much I love consignment shopping introduced me to ThredUp. I am so impressed. It's easy to search, so affordable, and my package just arrived today and everything fits. I'm so in!
I can't explain how much I love all the clothes I had ordered onl8ne for all the kids for Christmas. They were all nice clothes and very affordable than the original store. It's a plus knowing we all can save a little money on everything. The store gets benifits and customers get benefits. We all get benifits. Thredup get more cutsomers and customers referral friends and family to shop. Everyone wins!
I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with Thredup!
Easy fast and easy! Clothes are in great condition! Vary satisfied!
Have ordered several items already and each time everything is in excellent condition! The website is very easy to use and the shipping is always fast!
I have been very happy with the experience of thredUP!
I live in a small town that lacks in creativity in the shopping department. It is great to find fun clothing and not to have to spend a lot of money.
I have introduced a few people to the site and they love it as well!
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.
