I'm about 3/4 of my way through the 30 day Arbonne deal, and am really dissatisfied. I am a healthy eater normally, and have no chronic health conditions (both of which are talked about repeatedly on the plan), so perhaps I wasn't really their target demo. Nevertheless, a close friend has become a consultant and so I signed up, figuring that a 30 day reset might be a positive thing. As you mentioned, there is a very hefty upfront cost for all of the mandatory products, many of which have very dubious claims – every morning a "Digestion Plus", fizz sticks, very sugar-intense shakes, "fiber boosts" and so on. Add to that the required organic, free range, so on foods and I figure I'm out about 50-60% over my typical monthly food costs. But ok, if it works it could be worth it. But so far, and I'm on week 3 which is the "cleanse week", I've been low-energy, tired of 2 extremely sweet shakes for meals a day, and – worst of all (TMI here perhaps) – constipation the likes of I've never experienced in my life. I'm working with my (secret) Facebook group on this – which I like a lot, by the way – but I've found that many others in our group are experiencing the same thing. Discussions and suggestions from our coaches are not having the desired result. I'll ride this thing to the full 30 days – I figure I've come this far – but I would never recommend it. Perhaps if one is completely junk food dependent this could help change habits, but otherwise… no.

My bad that I did not look at online reviews of thredup before "selling" with them - just google "thredup reviews" and you will see there are literally thousands of complaints regarding selling. My experience was essentially the same as Nellie's - sent 22 items, most with tags still on from stores like Ann Taylor, J. Jill, Banana Republic, so on (in other words, no low-stuff) and got a whopping $9 payout that, once they deducted their "costs" meant I got basically nothing. How does a company get away with this? They deserve to go under and I will tell anyone I know.
