Good sale
January 21, 2016

It was great to find nice items reduced even more! Sadly, one item was just a little bit different than I had expected. I still liked it and therefore kept it.

Love thred up
January 21, 2016

Great selection and pricing. Even better with 20+% discounts. It's great to be able to turn clothes that don't fit my kids anymore into a new wardrobe!

Slow processing
January 21, 2016

The item was like brand new, but it took forever to get here. This is the second item I have ordered and both took a long time to arrive.

Excellent service
January 21, 2016

They have made consigning and donating so easy! I just fill up the bag, drop it off and then get an email telling me they received the bag. Each time an item sells I also receive an email. So much easier than selling myself or taking to my local consignment shop. Buying things is just as easy!

Somewhat pleased
January 21, 2016

I've ordered quite a few things through ThredUp & usually they're pretty good. There has been a few times where the clothes I've ordered have had holes in them, which resulted in me having to throw away the item, because it was not suitable to wear in public. There has also been a few times where the shirts I've ordered are a lot bigger than what has been shown in the photos. When the clothes I've ordered were hole-free, the quality was excellent.

Loving ThredUp!
January 21, 2016

Thanks, ThredUp! I've thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of using your service. I've been so thrilled I've mentioned your site to several people! At this time I've sent in two clean-out bags, purchased clothes from the site, and donated to my school of choice locally from my purchases. I will continue to use ThredUp!

A little pricey for 2nd hand items
January 21, 2016

Quality of clothing items are good. Shipping time is average. I don't like that returns are processed as product credit rather than refunded to your original payment method. Items are a bit pricey for 2nd hand. Swap.com seems to have more reasonable pricing with the same quality.

I had credits from selling and used to buy a skirt. The skirt was a steal and in perfect condition! The best part my order came lightning fast within days!

Frustrating experience
January 20, 2016

In placing my most recent order, I used the code supplied to receive a 20% discount on my purchase, plus free shipping. Through no fault of my own, the code supplied and entered when placing my order, did not work and I was charged the full price plus shipping. Called and left message to correct the problem and received no response. Had to resort to e-mail, which was answered and credit is supposed to be applied. A buyer should not have to go through a frustrating and time consuming experience like this.

Impressive businesses
January 21, 2016

I've been very impressed by this company... their quality of clothing is great, website design is very professional and chic, ease of ordering and returning items is great! My only request is that their payments for clothes that you sell to them would be a bit more reasonable... it's seems they are extremely underpaying for items.

Okay
January 20, 2016

Pick up clothes was great. Amount given for clothes was really bad and I did not receive a statement of clothes donated so I can use that as a tax deduction. I will try one more bag and see how that goes. Great idea
