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.

Just Perfect!
July 1, 2016

This is my second order from thredUP. The first time I ordered 5 items; this time 3. All were just perfect! Meaning that they were exactly as pictured, the price was unbeatable, and the item quality as expected. My only negative would be shipping time, but since it was free I really can't complain.

I'm a photographer working to build a wardrobe of unique, timeless pieces for my clients to wear for glamour, conceptual or boudoir shots. ThredUP is my new go-to source.

Not Impressed!
June 30, 2016

Bought two kids North Face jackets. One was ok, but the other one had a hole in the pocket and the previous owners name was written on the label. I understand it is a resale website, but maybe you shouldn't accept clothes with holes and names written on them. Sending the item back

Always a pleasure
July 2, 2016

Easy to order, try on and keep or send back. I have a very busy life and no time to shop. A minute here and there on their website and clothes arrive in great condition at an even greater price.

If you think a clean out bag will earn you some extra cash think again. I sent a huge bag with 22 pairs of womens jeans, jackets, 10 pairs of shorts, even some kids stuff. They resold 10 of my items, I earned $9.28. One of my jackets they had listed for 17.99. I would have rather given to a local charity for a tax deduction.

RIP OFF!
June 30, 2016

I sent thred up some very nice clothes and they only picked 3 of the pieces to sell. I made $2.76. What a rip off. Don't send them any clothes. You would be better off selling them on ebay. Never again!

Buy, but don't sell
June 29, 2016

The reason everyone is getting these awesome great deals is because people like me send in their clothing, expecting to get a fair amount of money back. That is only the case for a few brands and items, and you don't fully know what those are until you send in your stuff. Then, you can only get it back by paying $12.95 (which is always more than you get for most clothing) and if you didn't do it in advance, then you won't get your items back at all. I won't be selling to them again and this experience has compelled me to not buy from them either. They make you wait 14 days to get your cash. They profit immensely--if you send in high end items, you are likely to be disappointed.

Delivery

The delivery takes too long; I think over 2 weeks is excessive.

I was able to find lots of leggings options, including some styles that are hard to find elsewhere. I got a great price on something I'll wear all the time!

Found a great dress on clearance, the price was a steal!
Unfortunately, it didn't fit:(
But, I found a label that I'd never heard of before and now love :)

Maternity clothes
January 18, 2021

Great prices, wonderful conditions! However Tredup could really use better photo backdrop for items or best descriptions. Difficult to know exactly the material you are buying! Accidentally bought a see-through tight maternity sleeveless shirt (would certainly NOT buy this is I knew it was see-through and can't wear anything under) and a "brown skirt" ended up being made of corduroy... I'm pregnant in the summer and don't expect to get much use out of it.
