I live on a small island with little choices for shopping, so absolutely LOVE thredUP! My order was so big this time that it came in a huge brown box. I live in hawaii and the shipping was only two weeks. For free, I am not complaining. I needed to update my mini skirts and swimwear. I purchased 10 skirts and 2 swimwear and my total was only $90. On my island I would be lucky to get 2 new skirts or one swimsuit for that price. Everything arrives clean and ready to wear. Can't wait to show off all my new clothing. Don't hesitate to make an order. You will be very satisfied! I have yet to return an item.

Luckily I only sent 15 items as a test. Most of my clothes are worn 2 or 3 times and are from high end stores like Neiman Marcus, Zadig & Voltaire, The Row, etc. They gave me $33.00 for 6 items, Which is probably more than most people get. But I thought what a waste of my other 9 items, some of which were brand new with the price tags still attached. Wish I had read the reviews before I dealt with thredup. PLEASE NOTE: THEY CHARGE YOU FOR THE BAG THEY SEND YOU: $7.00! Isn't that something? They took it off of the $33 they said they would pay me, so it ends up I really only got $26. AND, if you want the things of yours that they don't want to be returned to you, you have to pay for that also: $13.00. They make money off of returning your items to back to you! Such a CON.

This is the second time ordering and both times I received items not as described. The first order were pants that were low rise and described as mid rise. I sent them back no problem and didn't have to pay return shipping, which is great. Second purchase I bought two pairs of shoes and both were described as "like new". One pair is definitely not like new at all. The soles are completely worn and obvious signs or wear and tear on the shoe. I decided to keep them because I need them for a long dress, but I'm not taking my chance on second hand items with a company that doesn't accurately describe their merchandise.

Thredup makes u feel good about shopping. You are recycling, saving money and being sustainable. The flip side is clothes sometimes don't turn our the way you expect them to - size, fit, material. Helps if you have shopped online before. Most stuff I have bought so far hasn't been exactly what I expected - some has been better, some has been worse. I would say try thredup if u know how to shop online and want to try out designer brands without burging your wallet.
