thredUP Reviews Summary

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.

Great finds!
August 2, 2016

I love resale shopping, but rarely find cute items I'm looking for in my size. With thredUP, there are so many styles to choose from, I get to be choosy. Thank you, thredUP for making resale fun!

Pay attention before check out
August 2, 2016

This is the second time I order from ThredUP, and I'm awaiting my second polka dot box with excitement. The prices are technically they same you'll find at a thrift store, with the inconvenience of having to pay for the shipping, but it's worth it because you may find very cute pieces!

The first time I ordered, the process of paying and receiving my package was smooth, so sad I didn't took the measurements into consideration and one of the dresses was too small, but still cute and in great condition and it has a ThredUP tag that gave the feeling of being receiving a new item. That time I also used the "new member" discount which made it an amazing experience!

This second time I had an issue because my card was already in the system so I clicked the "pay" button by accident before entering my 10% discount code (a new one I got, they usually have some kind of discount code) and I had to pay the full amount, that was dissapointing. I could call to customer service but I am too lazy. Now I'm just hoping the items will fit me because I will be too lazy to make a return! Lol

Great reason to clean out closet!
September 2, 2016

I sent a large bag of items to ThredUp. The experiment was great however it took about 6 weeks for the bag to be processed.

Pants were hemmed and final sale
August 1, 2016

Hello I got two items in this package and one was great. The other was marked final sale and there was no indication that there was any adjustments made to the pants. I received them and they are hemmed and don't fit me. I can't return them.

Clean out bag credit
August 1, 2016

I was relatively happy with my purchases but it took almost 2 months for my clean out bag to be processed. When I received the total credit amount I was pretty upset, I sent in brand new juicy shoes, Abercrombie dress with tags and north face with tags and received a very small compensation. Next time I will
Just sell the items myself

Horrible Delivery Experience
August 1, 2016

I've ordered from thredUP two times, and in both times they have messed up the shipping address. The first time they didn't put my apartment number, the second time they said they didn't couldn't find my address, then they send it back to thredUP. I am very disappointed, it is not the first time and all of those times I have put the correct address.

Great Value, Slow Delivery
August 2, 2016

I absolutely love thrift store shopping and online shopping so a combination of the 2 is super exciting to me! Great selection and prices. The only complaint I have is it seems like it takes forever to get delivered though that's just because I'm used to Amazon's 2 day shipping. I would definitely (and have) recommend ThredUp to friends!
