thredUP Reviews Summary

ThredUp's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, particularly regarding the selling process and customer service. Many users report feeling misled about item valuations and processing times, leading to frustration over perceived exploitation and lack of transparency. While some customers appreciate the variety of products available for purchase, issues such as delays in shipping, inadequate communication, and poor handling of returns overshadow these positives. Overall, the sentiment leans heavily towards disappointment, prompting many to recommend alternative selling methods and express reluctance to engage further with the company.

Thanks, thredUP.
October 14, 2015

I sent some items that were rejected by two local resale shops, and thredUP accepted and paid for quite a few of them, so I don't want to complain. I'm sure everyone who sends in clothes thinks the items are worth more than they are, and I am no exception. It's just hard to see an item for which I received $2.00 being sold for about $14. But, then again, all I had to do was put it in a bag and send it with free shipping. Someone there had to display it nicely, photograph it, process an order, pack and ship it, etc., plus all of the expenditures and work of the business. So, again, I don't want to complain. I've sent several bags to thredUP and I'm pretty happy with my outcome overall.

Great haul
October 13, 2015

I shop a lot with Thredup. The majority of my purchases are wonderful. Easy reruns for those I don't love. Except handbags? Not returnable. Not sure why. But interior photos are not available.

I've made several purchases for kids clothes and so far everything has arrived exactly as pictured/described. However, I really need to give 5 stars directly to LeAndrea from customer service. Somehow (i think when i linked my payment through my amazon account) I accidentally chose the wrong shipping address- and discovered it too late- LeAndrea sent a prepaid shipping label to my sisters email so that they could redirect my package from South Carolina to Illinois- at no additional charge. THAT is above and beyond in my opinion. :)

First bag=reasonable payouts. Even with high end threads, payout was 90cents an item with second and third bags. Pathetic, gap, tea collection, Hanna Anderson, talbots. Better off doing consignment at your local consignment shop.

I am consistently pleased with my purchases. I love that when I buy clothes for my little (not on ThredUp) I know that I can offset the costs by selling back or trading in. Absolutely the way to go!

I've sent items in through Thred-Up twice... all like-new or new with tags, relevant brands. The first time I did not opt for return service and got beat on a nearly new, navy leather Michael Kors bag. Made zero sense that they didn't accept it but totally my fault for not pre-checking that they would/opting for the return service. Lesson learned.

The second time I had 9 items accepted, some of which were brand new with tags, and included items from Michael Kors, Juicy Couture, and Jessica Simpson. My payout (before return service) was $32.78. My items listed combined were to sell for 160.91... that's less than 20% payout.

I realize they have a payout percentage structure listed on their site but honestly, just feels like it's criminal. To end up with $19 in my pocket after all is said and done with the return shipping for unaccepted items, I'd rather just donate my clothes to someone in need next time. So unless you're really hard up for pocket change and can't figure out how to sell stuff yourself on eBay or find a consignment shop, I'd steer clear.

I love the convenience of threadup. So much easier than rummaging through consignment shops. I have always found great deals and had superb customer service.

ThreadUP Orders
October 12, 2015

Overall, ThreadUp has been an okay place to order from. However, packages regularly arrive a day or two late, and sometimes items are not as described. In addition to this, if you decide to return something, you have to pick between instore credit or an $8.00 reshelving fee.

Frequent User Review
October 12, 2015

I have sent in numerous thredup bags and have made over $1,330 using the service. However, I feel that the processing of the bags is a little delayed, as is the release of funds. Further more, I have sent in some premium designer clothing in great condition that wasn't accepted - why?

Beginning experience
October 12, 2015

I am not sure what to think yet. I picked out a lot of good name brand clothing and from what I can see, only one item was accepted. I have already sent another bag and have a bag ready to go but am hesitating to send anything else.
I guess I am not sure what you are looking for other than NEW clothes...

User friendly
October 12, 2015

The site is easy to navigate but I always wish they could describe products a bit more. Is there an elastic waist? Is the item dry clean only? Is the item see-through? Etc... When you use the app, you can't get product details. If you can, that is not obvious.
