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.

Disappointed
December 11, 2016

No rhyme or reason to what they did or didn't accept. Did they actually put a mint condition Christian Dior bag in a donate pile? I kind of feel like it's a bit shady. I will still use it to clear out my closet, but if you actually have something valuable it's not worth it.

I sent three bags in which was about $2000 worth of clothes I only got about $37 worth while you guys sold my clothes for more than $37. I decide to leave the other bag full of clothes in my closet.

A little skeptical
December 11, 2016

I really love the idea of ThredUP but am not quite sure I agree with the buying price strategy. Although business margins are important, this seems a tad bit extreme and a little disappointing.
Costs to buy are just OK, but nothing you can't find at a discount store (TJ Maxx, Belk, etc.).
Clothing bought is acceptable with accurate descriptions.

Affordable and easy to shop
December 11, 2016

I enjoyed browsing the clothes on thredup and refreshing my wardrobe at a great price. Particularly since I am petite, it's often hard to find my sizes at second hand or discount shops in person. And I can shop for my toddler who outgrows sizes every few months!

It's very satisfying to find brands I'm already familiar with at great prices. Each of my purchases arrived in excellent condition. I enjoy thrifting locally, but Thredup is so convenient and allows me to search more specifically for exactly what I need. I'm new to the site, but I plan to do most of my clothes shopping here from now on.

What's the point?
December 10, 2016

First, there is no point going through the trouble of filling a bag if you get only three bucks out of the deal but thredup still profits from the clothes they mysteriously decide not to use. Feels like a ripoff. I would rather give them to friends or donate to charity. I mean, i have since read reviews from people who got ripped off on veey high end products so i am glad i decided to send only less expensive articles to test the waters. Who asks for plus sized clothes and then turns down lane bryant? Seriously? Second, takes way too long to process. Third, why no menswear on the site? I am just disgusted. There are better alternatives out there for both buying and selling.

Didn't meet my expectations
December 11, 2016

Decided to donate items rather than shipping them back. Perhaps my expectations for this shipment were too high.

I have been buying from thredup for some time now. It is the only place I shop for outerwear. The quality is awesome, the styles are current, the name brands are abundant. So quick, click and get yours too!
