Many users report feeling misled about item valuations and processing times, leading to frustration over perceived exploitation and lack of transparency.

I ordered a pair of shoes. Upon arrival in great packaging, sadly they were too big. I returned the shoes following easy steps found online. I received my credit and reorders some items for my son which arrived in same great polka dot box! Easy Peasy

Kate Spade Wristlet
January 5, 2017

Saw it, wanted it, used money from my account to get it and presto a few days later it was in my hot little hands or should I say, hanging from my wrist! Awesome experience all the way around!

The tiny purse
January 5, 2017

I ordered what I thought was a shoulder purse and when I received it and opened the box to my surprise it was TINY! Slightly larger than a wallet. However, the service tech was very understanding and sent me a Return Label immediately. So alls well that ends well. I will continue buying from ThredUp. Love their style.

Unique finds at good deals
February 5, 2017

I have no complaints! I recieved quality, name brand items at fair prices, shipped to me quickly. I will continue to shop at ThredUP whenever good promotions are available. It would be great if there was even more selection!

Eminently Easy!
January 5, 2017

Working with thredUP couldn't be easier as they provide the shipping envelop, including the mailing label, they bill you for shipping after they receive your package & they keep you posted through the entire process of accepting & marketing the items you've sent. Then, to make the transaction sweeter, you can use the money generated by the sale of your items to purchase great deals at thredUP. Fabulous system!

Nothing else like it!
January 5, 2017

I've always loved ThredUp since I discovered a way to get rid of my clothing I don't want anymore and getting some money back for some of it. I've earned about $70 through the service!

Simple enough
January 5, 2017

Experience was simple but one of the pair of pants I purchased was labeled as regular but was actually Long. Other than that it was simple.

Looked cute but underdelivered
January 5, 2017

Photos were good but lack of fabric specifics made this purchase go straight into the donation bin. Given the price I'd still come back for more steals but will 100% stick to brands I know.

I bought ~$75 worth of clothes and about $30 of it fit. I returned the rest for credit, and bought another $60 (the $45 credit plus another $15). This time maybe $20 of it fits and I won't bother trying again.

It's not that the clothes aren't nice - they're all fine, and they're packaged up quite nicely too. It's just not a good way to buy clothes. I'm better off going to local thrift shops, which have a smaller selection, but also lower prices (even here in Los Angeles), and I don't end up with mostly things I can never wear.

If you know your size in a particular brand for sure, go for it. I got a pair of Converse that are lovely and fit. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

Great product packed with love
January 5, 2017

I loved opening my ThredUp box. It was so fun to get such amazing deals. I like buying used because fast fashion is so wasteful. I love giving a second life to clothing. ThredUp understand me! I just wish I knew odd be getting a free cleanout bag with my order. I spent an extra $9.99 for a separate one.

Fabulous
January 5, 2017

I have been using Stitch Fix for over a year and spending a significant amount of money on new clothes. I can now pick from the brands I love and get an honest estimation of the clothes I'm getting. I love my new wardrobe-and it's susty!

Do not sell
January 3, 2017

I sent in a bag to sell with about 20 barely worn clothes and a couple that were never worn with tags on it. All were still in style, but some were a little older. It took so long to process the clothes (I sent it at the beginning of November and just got the email saying it was processed) and they only accepted one item (the oldest clothing item I sent them). Not only that, but they also don't tell you what they rejected, so there's no way to know what of your clothing items get donated unless you keep track of it yourself. My overall payout was $0.35 for plenty of on-brand styles that would have gotten so much more a regular consignment shop. They also recently changed their payout method that is poorly explained and there is no way to contact costumer service other than a dinky little chat thing.
