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.

I ordered a few pieces at the end of December, and didn't get them until about two weeks later. The time to process returns and polka dot bags is excessive too. In times where 2 day shipping is the norm, this company has to catch up. In the time I'm waiting for things to process, I lose interest in threadup. I value my time more than saving money. That's why I elect to shop online instead of in person. I know the company is going through growing pains right now, but the slow processing is really holding them back.

I love thredUP
January 17, 2016

I really enjoy thredUP. I think it's a great idea and a great way to get some nice things. I ordered a pair of adorable shoes but unfortunately they were too big so I had to send them back.

Holding
January 17, 2016

I wish there were a holding spot. Sometimes I only see 1 thing I like in my size. The next day there may or may not be 1 thing. I would like to shop each day and at the end of the week, or after I have several things in the file. I could submit for payment and shipping.

Purchase review
January 17, 2016

My Thredup experience has been fantastic! Love the ease of using the app and the process is so fast and simple. 1 2 3 and next thing you know, there's a cute polka dotted box at your door with lovely things in it. Its like having a country full of sister's/BF's closets!

Love that polka-dot box!
January 17, 2016

I have ordered twice from thredUp and I've loved what I've received. While I have a couple of favorite local consignment shops, this expands exponentially on what's available. The pictures are perfectly accurate, including enlarging noted flaws so I can make an educated decision before ordering. I've recommended this site to a couple of friends and will continue to make it one of my favorite "first stops" when shopping for myself and my granddaughter!

WOW! Extremely Pleased!
January 17, 2016

When I got my delivery, I expected everything to be stuffed into a shipping bag and stuffed into my mailbox. NOPE! The items looked brand new, and were beautifully wrapped in thredUP polka dotted paper and sealed with a nice sticker. All the items were folded nicely as well! It felt like I'd ordered from a ritzy boutique!

Keep up the great work, thredUP! I'm telling all my friends about the app!

Missing info on coat
January 17, 2016

The coat I bought was described as being in excellent condition. The condition was fine but the coat was missing the lining and the hood that originally came w/ the coat. I know this because of the buttons on the coat. I think this should have been disclosed in the description.
