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.

Clothes suck. The return policy sucks.
December 15, 2015

The ordering process was easy. The clothing itself was awful. And the return policy is less than satisfactory. You have to pay to ship it back yourself, or they will pay for shipping if you accept a store credit.

Filtering!
December 15, 2015

So, my main complaint with MANY websites is that the filtering options are... lackluster? Not very good? Hardly worth filtering? But I LOVE thredUP's filters - it makes it very easy to minimize the vast amounts of clothing/shoes/handbag options available. Good job developers!

I have had an overall good experience. My only issue is the sizing measurements being so vague, which resulted in having to make returns (which is fine unless it is for a gift that you may not have time to return and replace, unless you buy the replacement somewhere local). I have mentioned this to them and they said they will look into it. I will update this with 5 stars when it is fixed.

Other than that, it's been great fun, and from someone who really hates shopping, that's really huge!

Great quality. Good customer service.
December 15, 2015

I have purchased here 3 times. I only had one item arrive not as described and customer service offered to fix the problem easily. I will definitely shop here often.

Way over my expectations
December 15, 2015

I have purchased from online used clothing shops before but never such a great outcome as I have with thredup. From ordering to delivery I am amazed at the attention to detail and quality.

I love shopping secondhand... but I love doing it in my PJ's from home even more! Great brands, great quality items and the exact measurements are listed for *most items. I've ordered clothes for me and kids and sold them too. It's SO easy and since, let's face it, most of my old clothes would end up at my local donation center anyways, I love that they donate what they can't sell. I've had only positive interactions with Customer Service reps (unfortunately not common enough in today's retail world) and I earn money for my kid's school while I shop thru their donation program. Great company.

Boy shirt
December 15, 2015

The last shirt I ordered still hasn't arrived and I wanted my son to wear it for pictures so I had to buy completely different outfits because I still hadn't received this shirt.

Terrific Site!
December 15, 2015

ThredUP has a vast array of items to choose from. The quality is as described and returns are processed quickly. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was that some items lack any description of fiber content and/or measurements which make it difficult to judge size. The $20 referral bonus is great and the $5.99 flat shipping reasonable.
