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.

Overall, the sentiment leans heavily towards disappointment, prompting many to recommend alternative selling methods and express reluctance to engage further with the company.

Excellent value
January 18, 2021

I purchased four great pieces that I wouldn't typically be able to afford. Great price, perfect condition, and all the pieces even fit just right!

Clean out bag is a rip off
August 2, 2016

I only placed an order recently because I had used the clean out bag. I sent in over 50 items that should have been accepted and only 16 were and they only paid $15 so totaling less than $1 per item. I used the credit and will never use this site again. I will also be letting my friends and family know about the poor experience so they don't have the same experience. I was better off donating items to a charity and writing them off on my taxes.

Great Quality
August 2, 2016

The transaction was very easy. I found an item that looked nice, put it in the cart and it was delivered in about a week. The prices are reasonable and I got a designer sweater that was practically brand new! I can't wait to make another purchase.

Thredup review
August 2, 2016

I have ordered twice, both times the quality is very nice. The second order did not have ANY Thredup tags (the first order had tags on every item), which in my opinion gives the person receiving the box a better feel of a quality site. That was/is my only negative. I love this site for my grandkids,

Customer service
August 2, 2016

Threat up customer service is superior. I experienced a problem putting in the promo code during an order online. I emailed customer service and heard back within a 24 hour period. They solved my problem and credited my account.

Never a disappointment
September 2, 2016

Every time that I've ordered from threadUp I have not been disappointed. If anything there's too much to choose from and good quality.

Great first experience
August 3, 2016

I ordered a skirt, a coat, and a pair of shoes. The skirt and shoes look brand-new. While the coat didn't look brand-new, I would equate it with a coat I'd had for a season or two (and where i live, that wouldn't mean very much wear at all). Shipping wasn't SUPER fast but I didn't pay to have it expedited. First experience was definitely good enough that I'll shop here again.

I recently purchased three items. Two were perfect. Far surpassed my expectations. One skirt however was not pictured well. When I got the skirt there was a huge embossed pattern of swirling roses on the front. This was not apparent in the skirt picture. Thankfully I am able to return it.

Lady's top
August 1, 2016

Was a very nice looking top with 3/4 sleeves until further examination of the underseam on the sleeve. It had pulled material along the seam line back about 3 to 4 inches. We are seeing a seamstress to see if it can be taken in enough to catch quality material and not change the looks of the sleeve.
