Ever notice that there's a new "good" review every day by someone who has never written any other reviews? How often do YOU go to these site to write a good review. Y

Here's the realrundown with Thredup.com--they are deliberately aren't clear with their business with you.

First, my friend/neighbor invited me to Thredup.com via sharing an item that she'd thought I'd like. When I set up an account, the item was listed as "Unavailable." But on my friend's account, it showed up as still available. In fact, the items that are in someone's cart say, "Reserved." When I contacted Customer Service about it, they stated that my account was set up in a different Distribution Center. But my friend is a neighbor, so the "Distribution Center" is for new accounts. So the discount of $10 off that we get as new accounts only goes towards a certain selection of clothing. Which is crap. Because my friend gets access to some great stuff, but all the stuff listed in this other selection was CRAP. Barely clearance worthy.

But I shopped there and sent in a few bags. Once, I sent in a full bag and got NOTHING because they took out the cost of shipping ($9.99). It's really kind of degrading how little you might get for good, practically new, perfectly clean clothes. Likely because they have overstock. But just read the past (legitimate--not the one-review positive stuff obviously written by employees of the company) reviews.

Also, if you have any amount of credit, it's a good chance you can't request a new bag to build up a pot to buy stuff. They will claim they are getting too many bags at once. But hey, if you want to start a new account, then of course you can get a bag!

And my final complaint, is that if you have something in your cart, prepare for the price to go up on you overnight. FOR NO REASON. When I wrote in to ask, not surprisingly, NO RESPONSE.

I applaud them for doing something for the planet. But honestly, safe yourself the grief and THRIFT LOCAL.

Shopping from ThredUp is like going to all the consignment, thrift and garage sales across the US and picking the best pieces among all the rubbage. I love that they take in the goods and do a generous analysis to decide if the item is sellable and price accordingly. I have never been disappointed with items I've ordered for me or the kids. Find the prices on the kids clothing could be a little better to align with the market, but overall I think the prices are not bad. Will definitely keep shopping here for my family.

So I got turned on to Thredup this past Fall and I am now on my 12th pair of awesome shoes that I've ordered from Thredup! I'm definitely hooked! The shoes I've purchased have either said, "looks like new" or "have some wear". To be perfectly honest, even the ones that say "have some wear" look like they were hardly ever worn. In my opinion, Thredup under promises and over delivers with their merchandise every time. I am beyond thrilled each time I receive my aqua box on my doorstep. And I love their "upcycle" concept of reusing the box and the tissue paper. Cheers to promoting "green."

This company has me mystified... after reading all the negative reviews I decided to proceed anyway (mainly out of curiosity.) I sent in about 150 nice items (absolutely NO damaged/stained/worn looking items) in two HUGE bags. They accepted 7 items and even after two have sold and the others are projected to sell I will be getting a big fat $0. As far as I can tell, the company seems to be preying on just about everyone to get their merchandise, and that just isn't right and it's downright Un-American. I am planning on contacting the Better Business Bureau and I urge everyone else who has been ripped off to do the same. This company is not providing a legitimate service, under any kind of business model. So sad and so wrong...
