I was disappointed to learn that the payout percent decreased. I think you should have been better about notifying your customers.
It was easy, and I pretty much got what I expected to. One item was too small, but I found how easy it was to return it.
I have had a very good experience with ThreadUp! I love the app/site. I love what ThreadUp is all about. Beautiful clothes at very reasonable prices and always A1 condition!
Thanx ThreadUp!
The clothes were awesome and so are the prices. But the customer service when I couldn't get me 40% off to work was awful. I never got the promo I was supposed to.
I love how easy it is to send out clothes. My only wish was that payouts were a little more. I alway send in top end clothes in great condition worth 100's of dollars and could end up only getting $20. It's a bit disappointing.
Enjoy the ease of ordering and quality of product.
I have gotten some amazing pieces at super prices---for me and my son! I love the site! Even returns are a breeze. Consigning is also easy, I just wish it didn't take so long to process the bags. I recommend thredUP to everyone--it's a great way to shop!
The website is user friendly and I received exactly what I ordered promptly in great condition as described. Great value! I will definitely be shopping at thredUP in the future. What great idea!
This is a very different and exciting site. I certainly enjoy shopping there because of the various one of a kind clothes.
I also like the opportunity to clean out my closet and sell my clothes and make a few bucks. Thank you.
Overall i was pleased with selection, quality, condition and prices. One item 's condition was worse than described but dress was nice enough to mend.
I placed an order and received the incorrect item. It was my first order with ThredUP so I had used my 40% off code. I contacted the customer service and they apologized (yay!) and offered to wave the return fee and give me a merch credit for the item. Sadly, they wouldn't re-honor the 40% off code for a different item nor are they set up for exchanges. I love the items I received and the quality/condition was great! I'm a little hesitant to order again though and wish they would offer more coupons/discounts besides the $20 if someone else places an order.
Very pleased with my purchases, the styles, ease of ordering and the free returns. Really a perfect way to shop and save. So convenient!
I requested a bag and I sent in a few clothing items. I don't know if they have been accepted or not.
I've ordered several boxes of clothes from thred up and have loved almost all of them. My one problem has been a shirt I bought. When I took it out of the box, I found a safety pin was holding together some of the material. This should have been mentioned in the description or in the picture of the item. Despite this, I've really enjoyed the clothes from thred up and plan to shop there again.
I had an issue with the delivery address and thredup responded quickly and were very easy to deal with.
I love this website. They buy clothes off of me, that i ship free to them. And i get store credit or cash back... great place!
I purchased a pair of NYDJ and a tunic that I instantly loved! Thredup is one of my favorite sites for myself and my kids.
Been pretty happy with my purchases from ThredUp. Small improvements could be made in terms of accurate description of items/sizing but with the high volume I can see how this would be difficult. Free returns are a nice trade-off.
I made a large purchase and sent half of the items back but thankfully there are free returns! I was disappointed with the price and quality of a lululemon top, otherwise everything else was a steal and perfect. I will keep shopping w Thred up!
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. 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.
