I purchased from Thred Up several times and in the cases where items were definitely not as described (stained, torn, etc.), I let them know. I was told I could return 3 items out of 20, after I sent photos of the condition (which was very poor not "Excellent" as described). I was promised a refund to my credit card but lo and behold, they issued store credit after I told them I no longer trust their descriptions and would no longer shop with them. I let my credit card issuer know along with evidence. Thred Up also tampered with my ordering history and removed items, but thankfully I took screenshots before they did this. My credit card issuer said I should get a full refund through the dispute process since I have evidence. Be warned--this company is just an algorithm to enrich a few people at the top. They do not care about their workers or customers. It's the way businesses are run these days--grab money, then let a company fall apart...expect the founders to donate to charities and causes they believe in to absolve their empty souls. I have also heard terrible things about those who send clothes to Thred Up. I did so a few years ago and it took them 8 months to review them, they gave me $15 for a large bag of new with tags and flawless Athleta, Banana Republic, Sketchers shoes, and J. Crew items. We get the retailers we deserve and if nobody speaks up, this company wins. I don't like doing business with them and am sharing my experience. I do think they are committing fraud with false advertising and wrongful descriptions of items that they profit from. Take a look at the pictures I posted--do these items look "Excellent"? One is a pink-tinted Michael Stars shirt that looked flawless and unstained in their photo. The other is an Athleta top described as "Excellent" that was faded, pilled, and worn out. They argue when you report that items arrive not as described, they fail to respond, when they finally do, they issue store credit. Be warned!
