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 site, slow wait for processing
October 13, 2015

Processing my bag took more than a month, but I love the clarity and concept of this site.

User friendly
October 12, 2015

The site is easy to navigate but I always wish they could describe products a bit more. Is there an elastic waist? Is the item dry clean only? Is the item see-through? Etc... When you use the app, you can't get product details. If you can, that is not obvious.

Wish I'd thought of this!
October 12, 2015

What a great idea, quality consignment online! I don't have to rifle through racks and racks of clothes to find what I'm looking for, I can sort online! My order comes so neatly packaged.

I almost wrote off thredUP because I was having so much trouble with my order. I was sent a coupon code and spend considerable time putting an order together. When I was ready to check out, the coupon code was invalid. I contacted Customer Service and didn't receive a reply for 3-4 days so most of my items were gone. Once I heard from Customer Service, the representative was helpful and assisted me with another order (after compiling new items). Once again there was trouble with the promotion code but the representative was much faster with responses to my problem. I was satisfied and happy with my order. I strongly recommend that thredUP makes certain that promotional codes work before distributing them. I felt my time was wasted while I searched for clothes and then all but one was purchased by other customers while I was waiting for Customer Service to respond to my inquiries. There should be a faster response time for assistance. I like the business model for thredUP and will continue to make purchases as long as I receive quality products and good customer service. Thank you for inquiring about my experience.

Customer Service Needs Work
October 12, 2015

Despite being somewhat overpriced for secondhand goods, I usually enjoy shopping through ThredUP. However, customer service has gotten TERRIBLE in the last year. It took multiple emails and a callout on social media to get a response from a customer service rep, and I was not offered a solution to my complaint. This experienced combined with increased prices and decreased consignment payouts has left a bad taste in my mouth, and I am not likely to purchase again from ThredUP in the future.

Very Disappointed!
October 12, 2015

Similar to another reviewer my like-new Prada shoes were rejected but kept by Thredup when I did not purchase return assurance. I was told the reason they were not accepted was that mini wedges are not easy for them to sell (but of course there are numerous pairs of mini wedges for sale on Thredup). In my conversations with Customer Service, I mentioned how there are many negative reviews on Sitejabber where customers have similar bad experiences. Since then, many, many generic-sounding positive reviews have been entered, greatly improving Thredup's rating -- hmmmm.

Great clothes fair prices.
October 12, 2015

I love Thredup. I always recommend it. I get a box every couple weeks and whenever I have had an issue customer service has been helpful and kind. The clothes are exactly as described and I love that I can return things that don't fit. I buy both clothes for me and for my kids. Now if they would just sell some men's clothes

I enjoy shopping on this site. The customer service has been excellent. I do not like the new site with the condition of the item not by the picture on first page. I don't like having to go into my cart to see the condition of it.

Got my stuff out of my closet!
October 13, 2015

So far, all I've done is clean out my closet and send the bag of clothes to thredUP so I really don't have too much to say. The bag came quickly and it was great that I didn't have to pay anything to ship it out. I am waiting to see if I make any money from my stash and I still have to figure out how to set up a Paypal account for them to deposit any said cash into. Still early.
