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.

I have found the fabled "opposite world" at Thredup. I sent a bag of items for resell. They acceped a leather bag with obvious wear and described it as "like new", and rejected barely used items (including a pair of Balenciaga sunglasses) as "having excessive wear".
Because I didn't pay for them to return rejected items, I "lost" a few valuable items.
I seriously question their processors' ability to judge items

GREAT PRODUCTS! GREAT PRICES!
November 7, 2020

I recently purchased 3 pairs of workout / leggings and 3 sweaters.
The quality was great on all of them.
And they fit really well, too, thanks to accurate sizing labels online.
The only "complaint" in have is that instead of all coming in 1 package, they came in 3 separate mailings, which meant that there was more waste and postage than necessary.
Nevertheless, i look forward to returning to thredUP for some future shopping needs.

Great Find!
November 5, 2020

I was so excited to find an older Ralph Lauren dress that I had been searching for. The whole process was easy, and I was beyond thrilled to receive the dress in great condition.

Absolutely terrible
December 4, 2020

I received my box and didn't like anything, so I sent every piece of clothing back. They fraudulently charged me for keeping 3 items. I am furious!

Disappointed
December 2, 2020

They basically took my clothes, sold most of them, and kept 100 percent of the profit they made. I opted for a cash out which I was unable to get through PayPal. I then chose another route. I accepted store credit through one of the businesses with whom they have partnered. I was again, unsuccessful in my efforts to receive my cash-out. I spent a great deal of time and energy attempting to get my credit. I had my bag number, batch number, and all of the necessary information. I reached out to Thredup through customer service and through on line chat during business hours. It become almost comical. It really wasn't about the small amount of money they owed me, but the was the way they treated me. They did ship my unsold items back to me, but only because I prepaid for shipping. This company seems a bit sketchy. They may operate differently when you are purchasing items through their company. When you are selling your items it is a different story. I received such ridiculous responses from Thredup customer service through text and email. It seemed as if they were mocking me. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

I got tricked. The description was mild wear and tear. GARBAGE! I would never, never get caught deal with these Lilly Pulitzer accessories. It was my first time purchasing and I spent almost $500 dollars. NEVER AGAIN. I should have known since they don't have a customer service center, they don't care whether you are happy or not.

I returned my entire box to Thred up on the final day given by the Company on 10/16/2020. On Sunday 10/25/2020 they charged me the full price of my box $256.90. I used their label! I have been e-mailing since Monday morning 10/26/2020 with no response! Nothing has been posted to my account! BUYER BEWARE! I went on Facebook and saw were another individual returned their products in JUNE and still has no resolution! This is a unacceptable way to do business!

I love thredUP!
October 22, 2020

Absolutely fabulous - can't say enough good things! Great prices, fast shipping, the LEAST amount of packaging I have ever seen on an online purchase (THANK YOU for caring about the environment!) that was also re-usable. And the best part: giving some gently used clothing a new life outside of a landfill! I tell everyone about thredUP, can't recommend it enough :)

Total scam
November 5, 2020

I sent my kit in the beginning of July it's now the end of October I've heard nothing since July when the revived my kit. I went to the website they're now saying it's not gonna be even looked at until December, there's no phone number to call and ask questions, there's no email or any way to contact them. What a joke. Do not use them just go to a local consignment shop big mistake!
