I had a great experience with thredUP in terms of communication and how they outlined all the different processes of buying and selling. I sent in my polka dot bag, and was kept in regular contact with about the status of my items/payment, etc. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Excellent Service!
January 17, 2016

Easy, fast and fun! Excellent service for a busy Mom that works full time and only has time to shop at night from the couch. I love consigning and then turning my profit into a beautiful wardrobe!

Items are in great condition, arrive in a timely manner and have always been as described. You can't beat the prices and if you aren't satisfied, returns are hassle free.

Denim Jacket
January 18, 2016

I was very happy with the jacket when it arrived. It's great and exactly what I was expecting based on what was on the website. The shipping process was several weeks long, though.

Good but a learning curve
January 18, 2016

I have enjoyed shopping with thred up.
A few pieces were too big or too small.
I forgot to return a dress in time so that was a waste for me.
I hope to sell items and experience earning not only buying.

Not good at titles
January 18, 2016

The pants and dress I bought were just as described and in good condition. They were clean and the packaging was very good. Quick shipping and good prices. I would purchase from there again

ThredUp is an excellent resource for used clothing. The search engine on the site is very useful. The products have met or exceeded my expectations. The only suggestion I would make is more accurate color description of products.

Easy shopping
January 18, 2016

I enjoy shopping for my daughter's clothes at ThredUP. I can quickly scan the items and key in on the style she likes. In past orders the clothes i have purchased have been in excellent condition, like new. I do wish the delivery was a bit faster. I have sent in some clothes and have been somewhat disappointed in the prices offered, especially for items with tags. But overall, i keep coming back to ThredUP every time my daughter grows.

Thred-up Junkie
January 18, 2016

My experience has mostly been positive. Have only returned three items considering I have purchased 4 times. The only problem I have are the prices. Some of the prices are ridiculous. I wanted to purchase a pair of Drew sneakers and the "original" price that Thred-up gave ($190.00) was an outright lie. I went to the Drew Shoe Webiste and they are $152.00. Now I feel like I have check the Thred-up price for Shoes against the website. I feel the same about their prices for handbags and wallets. Thred-up charges too much for used handbags and wallets.

I enjoy the site
January 18, 2016

I like how new items are added daily. I've enjoyed the items I bought. My only hesitation is that the photos and descriptions don't always show the details I like. For example, I just bought a long wool coat that I thought was heavy wool meant to bear the elements of the Northeast. Instead, it was a light wool coat that I should wear indoors or on mild days.

Easy and efficient!
January 18, 2016

When I have clothes I no longer need, I donate them. With thredup, I easily mail them away, and what they cannot use, they donate. The only difference for me is that I drop off clothes at the post office instead of a donation center. Everything I've purchased through thredup has been of great quality and I've enjoyed it. Great company!
