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 alternative to Ebay!
January 17, 2016

Love the packaging, love the prices (generally), wish I could see alternate views and close-ups of articles of clothing!

FANTASTIC!
January 17, 2016

The goals of the company are wonderful... The clothing is in excellent condition! The selection is awesome. And the opportunity to purchase extremely well constructed clothes at such an incredible savings is a wonderful thing for those of us that like a bargain and live on a budget!

Very impressed
January 17, 2016

ThredUp appears to be very buttoned up... I have sent in my 2nd bag of Threds to sell... didn't make much on first bag but I didn't send the best I could have sent... so hoping my 2nd bag will be more profitable... great way to rotate the closet... My future daughter in law and sister have now submitted their 1st bag so they are excited to see how this works... good quality packaging when you purchase too... Only thing I would personally love to see is adding a VINTAGE category to sell! Just try it! I will send you the 1st bag

Error made Good
January 17, 2016

Purse arrived damaged. ThredsUp offered to refund, offered to make good, offered to do whatever was needed to make right.

And they did. Excellent service.

Great website
January 17, 2016

I love being able to peruse from the comfort of my home and make purchases without breaking the bank. Love the details, the shipping of the bag to send my clothes to be "recycled". It's a win-win!

Although you have an option to pay through Amazon, your not given the choice to select which form of payment on file with Amazon... Like using my Amazon card, OR other credit card on file. It's pretty crummy.

Plus measurements (in inches) aren't listed for kids clothes, the way they are fit woman's.

2nd Shop
January 17, 2016

This was my second time ordering from ThredUp. I received the items promptly and they were just as pictured and described. I really enjoy shopping with ThredUp; I feel like I get great bargains and help recycle. I'm hoping to use them to sell some of my clothing in the near future.

Great Clothes, Great Prices!
January 17, 2016

I ordered a dress and a few shirts from ThredUp. They were not expensive and very high quality. All of my items came quickly and were in excellent condition. The only problem that I had was that I wasn't able to use my coupon because there was another account linked to my address. I understand why they would do this, but it was dissapointing nonetheless.

A 'consignment shop' on the internet... unbelievable, what a wonderful place on the internet to be able to shop with very low and reasonable prices - Yes, it really real, and the merchandise is of great value!

No Love for Hawaii
January 16, 2016

I used up all my credits with my last purchase. Sadly, I won't be getting any more because we recently moved to Hawaii and ThredUp doesn't ship their bags there.

The shipment took over 2 weeks to arrive and the item was in poor condition. Very disappointed.
