This is an amazing site with great deals. I'm addicted to the referral program!
I wore one of my ThredUp tops for the first time today to go to dentist. Three different persons told me how much they liked my top. Thank you ThredUp for making my wardrobe so much more affordable.
Website easy to use. Nice packaging and arrived on time. The items I ordered are true to size and picture. Thank you. I will definitely continue to shop here and recommend to others.
Everything I have ordered from thredup has been beyond my expectation, sizing is spot on!
I had to make a return on short notice, and Fernando was great about expediting my next order to make sure it arrived on time. The clothes are beautiful, and I'm so thrilled with the overall experience... can't wait to shop with them again!
I ordered a girls dress described as size 16 and when it was delivered it was obviously several sizes smaller and was un-returnable. I have been very satisfied with Thred-up until this unpleasant experience. I will be hesitant to order again.
Excellent experience shopping with great prices and merchandise!
Holiday free s+h was a lie when i sent friends 20$ it wouldnt let them get free s+h and promotion said for the holiday till 12/14/15
Great prices. Easy returns. Will try selling next!
Felt like i got great quality clothes at a good price. Great for kids clothes. When you know it will only fit them for a short while so you don't want to spend too much. The app is user friendly and easy to navigate. Ordering and shipping was really easy. I plan on using this a lot in the future.
Loved seeing all the different clothing pieces to choose from! Lots of name brand things that I would never buy full price and all in wonderful condition. Bought a nice Coach bag and several wool skirts and am very satisfied with the quality of each item. Only thing I would want to know is more specifics about the clothing, like, the name of the model of the skirt and if it fits on the smaller or larger end of sizing (I found that a couple of the size 6 skirts I bought were more like a size 4). Otherwise, I've been recommending this site to anyone I know who is trying to save money but still look good!
Love the concept but I've sent back more things then I kept. The returns were either poor fits or the material ended up dry clean only or not as imagined. But the customer service has been terrific!
I shopped on ThredUp because I received $20 for free from being referred by a friend! Overall I really enjoyed my experience & my purchases from there! Some items fit better than others, because as most of is know most sizes differ between brands. Overall I really enjoyed using ThredUp!
One bag was ok but the red one had a COMPLETELY distorted bottom which could only have come from it being stored in a crushed position... Tried to straighten with no luck so now that will go in the goodwill bag... Waste of money and it was by no means CHEAP
I was so excited to discover this site. Easy to navigate. Great variety and prices. The service was also flawless: quick shipping, careful packaging, and easy no hassle returns.
I love the thredup site! Easy to use, fast shipping cheap prices. All in all its my new favorite site. On top of that the $20 for $20. Love everything about thredup. No complaints what so ever.
My husband and I have a pretty tight budget, so spending $40+ on one pair of maternity jeans was daunting. With ThredUP, I have been able to purchase two skirts and a pair of skinny maternity jeans for less than I would spend at a typical store! Each item I purchased was described to have a small flaw, but I honestly struggled to find the flaw in each item! I definitely recommend ThredUP, especially for shoppers on a budget.
I really appreciate their policy of free shipping back to them on returns if you opt for store credit. It allows you to try things on and see if they fit, without losing alot of money on return shipling. Also, if your total purchases exceed $100 in a month, you receive free shipping on any order through that month and the following month. They also have many days where they offer a promo code for a discount. It has been a great and fun way to find high quality clothing at a good price.
The item was exactly as described. The package was lovely. The shipping was reasonable. The price... out of this world!
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
