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.

Unfair
October 10, 2015

Prices are a little high and there are never coupons for current customers.

Want to like it more
October 10, 2015

I have been happy with what I received. However, I had an order cancelled and it took them a few days to response when I asked why. They responded that the items where no longer available due a mix up. Also, I sold a bag of stuff to them and only received $4.55. I feel like I was ripped off. I understand they have to make a profit but i think their prices could be more fair.

Great way to clear out your closet
October 10, 2015

I really enjoy Thredup; they make it so easy to send it your clothing! My only slight frustration occurred with my last bag, when a couple of my items were marked as "need washing". I wish I could get more of an explanation, especially when I know everything was clean! But it's a minor issue. All in all this company is great.

Feedback

Your team is always on top of things. You followed up on a premature rating of items I had not yet received. I promote your organization to many of the students and anyone who will listen. You are doing an amazing job! I am doing some marketing in my area for you.
Thank you for just being a great organization!

I live ThredUp, especially for tried and true jeans from manufacturers I love. But I would like to see clothing measured and then the ability to search by those measurements.

I love longer shirts and shorter inseam jeans. When I see "midrise" versus "lowrise" in a pants description, that means nothing, because it hasn't been standardized. If I see a rise of 5" versus a rise of 7", that helps me much more. Same thing with busy circumference. I hate having to return shirts that are marked a size L or XL only to find out one is sized for juniors and one for women. Measure the clothes and ease up the returns!

Hi Brooke, thank you for your feedback. Measurements are making their way back to the site. I will pass along your feedback on the rise measurements.

Ordering a clean out bag and sending it in couldn't have been easier. I'm so pleased with my payout, and to see my stuff selling.

Fast and fun
October 10, 2015

It was fun looking through the great selection of clothes for my daughter, and everything arrived really fast! Seller's descriptions were accurate, except items that were more worn were also slightly smaller than size due to washing/drying. Overall I was very satisfied and recommended to friends.

Taking way too long
October 10, 2015

My bag still hasn't been processed and it's been almost a month since they've received it, it was delayed again after it was received. I've been taking my other items to consignment stores, likely won't be using this service again.

Ehhh

It seems to take Forever to have the bags looked through and to let you know if you made anything. I will be really disappointed to wait so long and then barely get anything back but we will see someday

Easy and love the free return policy
October 10, 2015

I feel like so many times clothes don't work out and it's a hassle to return. I love how it's free returns and how easy it is to sort to my size and type of clothing. Easy to shop and very satisfied with what I have purchased. I recommend to all of my friends and family
