I love everything about ThredUp! It is such a great philosophy to reuse instead of buying new and the prices are so affordable!

Very Satisfied Customer
December 15, 2015

I thoroughly enjoy shopping on ThredUP. The prices are incredible and I love that you get rewarded for referring others. In my experience the items on the site are very accurately described, so I know exactly what I can expect.

Fun
December 15, 2015

I ordered something December 4. It is December 15 with none of my orders. That is a downfall in my eyes. But, the range of prices and options is a plus! I love how I can get deals! We will see about the same quality of the product when I get it.

Very pleased
December 15, 2015

Nice packaging, high quality. Only complaint is they need more pictures and details of the clothing. I have to send a dress back because it wasn't clearly described or pictured!

My new favorite!
December 15, 2015

Instantly fell inlove with this site the moment I opened my first package. 3 weeks later, I'm waiting for my 3rd purchase! Definitely going to be my go-to when searching for something specific

Dissapointed
December 15, 2015

Items are not true to size. I received a dress that I would not consider donating much less sell. Customer service very slow to response. No telephone communication available.

Good Site
December 15, 2015

I really love this site. It has been great. But we had some up and down. One of the pants we ordered was not able to be found at their warehouse. One shirt that my daughter did get did have a flaw. We did know that was the case. At first she was ok with it, but later didn't want to wear it anymore. But it is our fault that we can't return it, since she did wear it for a time. But because the price was good, it was not a great lost.

Very satisfied
December 15, 2015

I have made a few purchases from thredUp and have been extremely happy with both. My teenage daughters love to purchase unique and classic items. ThredUp is a great resource to keep me within budget! I've told many people about the great prices and the wonderful quality!

Sizing
December 15, 2015

I ordered a beautiful coat. The tag said Medium. I'm 5'2" and 130 pounds. This coat was so big. It had to be an extra large. I sent it back and was given a credit. I enjoyed spending my credit toward another item.

I am a mom that has returned to teaching flute lessons to local kids after a hiatus to have my child. Needless to say, after spending the last two years in yoga pants, I needed a new, professional looking wardrobe. I am AMAZED at how I was able to acquire a BEAUTIFUL designer wardrobe for pennies! And some pieces were actually FREE because I donated my own clothing in a thredUP bag! This is honestly the nicest wardrobe I have ever had. I reserached capsule wardrobes and ideas on Pinterest, and then shopped for them on THredUP. My closet is filled with gorgeous clothes, and I leave the house to teach feeling a new sense of confidence and style. Thank you, THredUP. I am a lifer!:-)

Love Thredup!
December 15, 2015

I have placed three orders so far, each time I experienced excellent turnaround time as well as receiving high quality merchandise. All the clothes I have purchased look brand new. I have since donated and look forward to shopping with my credit.

Expensive to return
December 15, 2015

The only downside so far to ThredUp has been the return policy. They want almost as much as the item costs to restock it. So if you get something in what you think will be your size and it turns out it doesn't fit, you'll only get a small portion of your money back. I understand that they need to be able to pay for their employees but $8.99 seems excessive. Other than that, the selection has been great, the clothes that I have purchased have all been in great condition. I just alway shop with caution due to the return policy. I would recommend giving them a try!

I was quite surprised with the quality.
December 15, 2015

I was very surprised at the quality of the items, and the professional approach to little things - shipping, presentation, communications. I have had two purchases, and check back often for new items. Very pleased. Highly recommend.

Good Site To Buy From
December 15, 2015

I love the items, but sometimes I wish I could keep them in my cart longer while I decide what to get. Usually the shipping takes a little longer than I would like, but it's a lot better than it taking a month or more. Overall, this site is useful to me. Especially while I'm on a tight budget. I really like the items and deals they offer. So yes, I would definitely recommend this site to anyone wanting nice, affordable clothing.

Great company, horrid shipping
December 15, 2015

First off the website was great as was the quality and selection. The issue was the fact that they mail things fedex which changed the arrival date twice on me and not until the day of last expected arrival. All in all though great company.
