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.

The sandals showed a bit more wear than I would have liked but were still in very good condition. Delivery was prompt.
Items ordered were shipped very quickly and were exactly as described. Love ThredUp!
Thredup has a lot of great used clothes in excellent condition at good prices.
I ordered from thredup for the first time a few weeks ago. I ordered 4 items, all clothing, and everything was absolutely as I expected. 3 of the items were listed as "excellent condition" and upon receiving them, I realized that they were exactly that. Everything fit really good and there were no issues with any rips or stains on the clothes. That last item I bought was listed as "new with tags", and that came exactly as it was listed as well. I will definitely be purchasing from thredup again. I can't believe I almost forgot to talk about the deals I got! I saved almost $100 compared to if I would've bought everything at retail price, you really can't beat this site!
I know there is probably not a solution for this issue, I love ThredUP, but I do have to say that the size "L" in one company is sometimes not nearly the same fit as a "L" from another company. I wonder if adding one or two dimensions would be helpful while the garment is lying flat. I will still continue ordering from ThreUP, but maybe I could return fewer items if I knew how consistent the sizing was for similar items.
I have sold and purchased through thredUP and I couldn't be more pleased. Clothes are in great condition that I've purchased! Returns are easy and I love the referral credits you get for referring friends and family.
I have LOVED the beautiful selection of clothing on their site! So much to choose from... and so little time! But once ordered, their shipping is FAST and the items are packed with plenty of TLC. Will keep a constant search and order more!
Great place to find quality name brand athletic wear.
ThredUp is so great for finding name brand clothing at a reasonable price! I have been absolutely thrilled with all of my three separate purchases!
Got little for hundreds of dollars of gently used clothes. The Company won't tell us who, specifically receives the rejects. Then items that were rejected magically appear on their website to be sold. Suspect that their employee's are the best dressed women in town. Don't think that this is a totally legit operation.
Love your website. It's so easy to navigate. And the best is the custom shops that we can create to narrow down our search. Saves time!
Love the choices, styles, and prices! Free returns is great though I rarely have to use it. I mostly shop for myself but the kids clothing is also very cute.
It's always nice to be able to get a great deal and look great! Definitely something to check out!
I sent in a brand-new, never worn pair of Prada peep toe pumps. Thredup did not accept these for sale and did not notify me that they were not going to do so. In all fairness, I did not ask to have items not accepted returned, however this was an exceptionally expensive pair of shoes. I do not agree with their decision not to accept them, however in cases where the item is couture and very expensive an attempt should be made to see if the client wants the item back. I would be very surprised if those shoes were not now living in the closet of a Thredup employee.
The new site is not friendly to use,
1. Pictures can not enlarge by touch screen.
2. Pictures didn't mark for flaw condition.
I love buying from thred up. The prices are amazing. I like the huge selection of brands and everything is in great shape when it arrives. This site is my new go to when I want to go shopping because you get so much more from your money.
I have found Thred-up to be a great place to shop! They have quality clothing and amazing prices! The service has been very helpful and have had no problems!
I have loved every item I have bought from thredUP and recommend them to all my friends! Love the bargain deals and no hassle looking for something specific.
I've been shopping at ThredUp since just after they launched. Sure, there were some ups and downs while they were having growing pains, but my closet thanks me! I get compliments all the time and people asking me where I got this or that. I'm always happy to tell them ThredUp!
Great site and great return policy. I wish the app was a little easier to navigate to browse different clothing but other than that I love the site
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.
