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.

I love the versatility, ease of shopping and knowing I'm getting a great deal. I've not been disappointed with any of my orders.
I was very satisfied. The only thing I would have appreciated was a response to an email I sent to the company. Also, I sent in quite a bit of brand new clothing, most of it Lands' End, JJill, and only earned $20.00.
They did a good job of keeping me updated of the status and then was able to get a fair price for my items.
Purchased a dkny pocketbook, it is a cheap knock off never buy from you again
ThredUp is an amazing creation. It is user friendly, has an amazin selection, and does a trustworthy quality control before selling its items. I have done three orders and have been happy with everything! I will always check ThredUp before any other store.
Yes, ThredUp is selective about what items they purchase. No, they aren't going to pay what it is worth because they are a business and need to make a profit. Having said that, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE purchasing from ThredUp. Items always arrive in the condition described, if not BETTER. I have the opportunity to buy the nicer clothes I like without the higher prices. There are two more recent additions that make shopping with ThredUp even better. Free returns (with store credit)! And I have a hard time resisting the ThredUp promo codes that are now went out on devices with the app on an almost daily basis! I am hooked.
I love the convenience of Thred Up! You get a free bag after your first order - and send it back with shipping already paid. Thred Up is my go-to place to sell clothing that my son no longer fits into and a few name brand items that I no longer wear.
I am loving purchasing from ThredUp. Everything I have ordered has been just as described. I get so excited for my polka dot box to come in the mail!
I use thredup.com consistently. I like the new set up. Occasionally, I can't get to the second, third, etc. pages of say... dresses or tops. I am bounced back to the
New Arrivals page. This is frustrating.
Nevertheless, I love the site. I would like it if it took less time for my bags to be
Processed. But that is about all I would change overall.
Hi Donna, thank you for your feedback. Our team is working on the filter issues. Hope to see you again soon!
I have sold thousands of dollars of stuff to them--they give a fair price and make it easy--drop off at the nearest FedEx, and fill their bags to the rim. The shipping is free, of course! Shopping is also awesome... and super fast shopping to my door!
Love this site. Customer service was exceptional! A++
There was a very big difference in what they paid me and what they sold it for. I was disappointed. But I will try again to see if it is better second time around.
Hi Laura, thank you for your feedback. Our customer service team is happy to provide additional information on the bag that was already processed and suggestions on how to improve your payout for the next bag. You can reach out to them at support@thredup.com. Please let us know how we can help!
Difficult to judge how it will fit without trying it on, so had to return it.
Excellent experience in both buying and returning merchandise. Recyccling clothing saves the planet! Thredup does that. ONe outfit at a time!
I like the fact that I could sell my used clothes that no longer fit and later use the credit to purchase other items on the site.
App is super easy to use and love the selection of items. I have a couple of
Personal shops" saved, which I look at often to find new stuff. Returns are hassle-free, too!
Always a fast delivery, and quick with any returns.
Great website with some fantastic deals. I am 95% thrilled with my purchases. But their customer service is to rate. If you don't like it or it does not fit, print your return slip and drop at FedEx.
Ordering was simple and purchases were accurate. Condition of outfits were of good quality. Would purchase from this site again.
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.
