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.

Fun experience!
October 21, 2020

I'm one of those people who sometimes needs another point of view when it coming to what looks good on me, so the Goody Box from Thred Up is perfect! So far EVERYTHING that was sent in both boxes has fit me! (at least 20 items, so that's impressive all by itself!), and I've found at least 2 items in each box that I've kept. I am thinking about signing up for the every other month box because the anticipation of what is in the box and when it's going to come is exciting! Kinda like Christmas!;-)

Terrible communication
November 19, 2020

I order a box from thread up and I didn't receive the order well they refunded my money back and said that I didn't have to pay for it. Well a few years passed and I thought maybe I would try again, no they made it where I couldn't get it and I emailed them asking what was going on and they said they were still showing that I have a outstanding bill. Wtf they said they refunded my money and everything was ok. Tell me that they're liars.

I sent in a package June 2020 these people state they sent the merchandise back.to me. But there was a minor detail. Half of the merchandise was never on their website nor did I receive the merchandise.
I have been written to this company on numerous occasions and they just send rewritten form emails back with no resolution.

The corporate leadership is horrible and will not respond to my inquiries either.
DO NOT SEND THESE PEOPLE YOUR MERCHANDISE.!

I have made a few purchases now in order to refresh my outdated closet. For the most part the descriptions are accurate, though having the waist measurement would be very helpful in determining if a skirt will fit or not. Women's sizes vary too much from manufacturer to manufacturer and trying to look up every single size chart is a hassle. Everything has been received fairly quickly, especially considering the current delivery delays. Returns can take a month or more to credit, that definitely could use some work! I cannot think of any other store I purchase from that does not give credit once the package has been scanned in, with the caveat that if the items are damaged in any way I will be charged in full for them. Yes the clothing has that used clothes/thrift store scent, but I wash clothing before I wear it whether brand new or used, so it doesn't bother me. As far as selling I haven't sent anything in yet, but when I do I realize the return is small, and they only accept about 40% of items they receive. With that in mind I would only send clothing I was going to donate anyway, and hope for a bit of play money. All in all I have had a very successful experience both with shopping directly and purchasing a Goody Box. I have recommended them to my friends and family that enjoy thrifting.

Wonderful 1st time experience
October 16, 2020

Answered style questions for goody box and only paid $10. They sent me 10 items to try and my $10 was applied to my purchase. Most of the items were in my style selection, with a couple of potential items. Only kept 2- mainly because of the price. They do have good deals, but the items I need were not marked down enough to keep more. Will probably try again after the holidays.

Good but not great
November 14, 2020

The items were good quality but not what I expected. Pants did not fit and the top had a side zipper I did not expect. I wish there was more pictures and descriptions of the clothing so I can make a smarter decision on my purchases.

Thrilled with my new Nanette
October 13, 2020

This was my first time ordering from thredup. I love the Nanette Lepore clothing line an happened upon a new with tags coat. It was originally tagged over $500 and I got it (with tax) for less than $40. It fits perfectly. When i received it there were a few pulls in the sleeves which I was able to pull through with out too much effort. They were clearly shown in the photo when I purchased the coat, I guess I just chose not to see them. Anyway as I said it was a very easy fix. I am looking forward to wearing the coat as soon as it gets a little cooler. I feel really confident in ordering again from thredup due to this excellent experience.

I ordered two pair of boys 3t pants and received one boys 3t and one pair of girls 3t capris. I ordered the items from walmart.com which I love to death and order from all the time. Wal-mart tried to give me a return label, but Thred-up gave them the wrong return address and even though Walmart emailed them, Thred-up's reply was less than helpful. Now, I can't get a return label - apparently they don't use them. Great, now I have to pay to return something to a company that clearly sent me the wrong thing. It wasn't like the company didn't know the difference. See the photo below: I ordered both items (both supposed to be boys 3t pants) and they sent both to me in the same package. Bottom item is the correct size and description while the top pair are the second pair Thred-up sent me. No way - even somebody that didn't have kids could have screwed up so badly. Last time I would ever order from these guys again!

Stitch Fix Convert
October 9, 2020

Thank you! I was a loyal stitch fix user, but was recommended to Thredup by a friend. I am so happy to have found you! When I opened my box, the first thing I did was say to my husband "Come, look! They nailed my colors!" I didn't keep everything, but the pieces I did keep are easily some of my favorite pieces of clothing now, and because they are secondhand, they were SO much more affordable! I'm a loyal convert, now. :)

Super happy with my purchase!
October 8, 2020

At first I was a bit disappointed that I was charged in USD, but ThredUp automatically refunded me for my local currency! Pleased with that, quick shipping and the clothes I purchased :)

I appreciate how large The inventory is at Thread up. I was looking for a specific type of jeans and size and the notifications were spot on. Then when ordering I was notified if shipment info and arrival times and they were very prompt.

1st Time Shopper
October 7, 2020

Overall I had a great experience shopping on ThredUp. The only feature I would have appreciated having while using the app was the ability to zoom in on the photos of the items. This would allow the user to get a better image of the details of the garment.

Very Pleased
October 6, 2020

I was very pleased with my first purchase from ThredUP. My item arrived quickly and was just as described. It was described as a "flawed gem". I will now specifically look for more flawed gems because I was so pleased with this one. Thank you so much. I love reusing items and this one was meant for me

Excellent value and prompt delivery
October 6, 2020

This was a wonderful experience I purchased a few jackets, a knit top and a sweater vest. Everything looked new with the exception of the sweater vest. It had the mild wear the site said it had. A sweater shaver fixed that and it is amazing. I will definitely shop thredUP again!
