thredUP

Dont do it! they should offer free return shipping… if I had known I would have paid $ 22 to try on some pants and sweaters, I never would have ordered! Also, when I did get a refund for my other items, the amounts were incorrect and lower than what I actually paid.

My experience buying from thredUP continues to impress me again and again. Online shopping has never been so fun! I love pretty much everything about the site, from the daily updates of the shop’s inventory to the search features.
I’ve ordered six times from this site now. Aside from the first time I’ve ordered, I’ve loved everything I’ve purchased. I’ve gotten plenty of NWT (new with tag) items, but I’ve also purchased items marked as having flaws. Regardless of its condition, my items have always been flawless from my perspective.
I only have two minor complaints regarding my experiences buying from thredUP. The first is that shipping can take unbearably long to initiate. I’ll have to wait a few days before I receive an e-​mail that my item has been shipped out. Fortunately, the distance between my house and the shipping office isn’t that far (they tend to launch from Sacramento), so I end up getting my items after about 3 days from when it ships. The tracking feature through Fedex is really nice, however.
My second complaint would have to do with the pictures of the clothing. I’ll be much more likely to purchase an item if it’s been featured on a mannequin since I can get a general idea of how the dress might fit, but there’s quite a number of items that are photographed ‘as is’. Another downside to the pictures is when white clothing is photographed, the picture is rarely ever clear in detailing the item’s shape. I tend to avoid buying white clothing as a result.
As I said, these are only minor complaints. The shipping thing, I’ll just have to learn more patience. The picture thing, well, it’s not like I haven’t bought a really cute dress that has been pictured ‘as is’. I’ll continue to do so in the future.
On a closing note, thredUP is starting to branch out into handbags soon — although I have enough of those as is.

This company sounded great — fill up a bag with your unwanted clothes, send it to them, get some cash in return.
A number of gripes:
I sent a bag full of high quality items, got an email confirming receipt of the bag the very next day (at least that was impressive), then proceeded to receive emails stating that due to high volume, my bag of items would not be processed for at least a month. Really? Okay…
So finally, hallelujah, the Day of Processing arrives. I sent them nearly 2 dozen new or barely worn items (better labels on their «yes» list), and they rejected nearly half. Some of those rejections are inexplicable — an unworn J. Crew blazer? A once-​worn French Connection silk dress? I wonder if those nearly new items managed to «walk out» of the warehouse before processing…
But the worst is the non-​existent customer service. So I accept that they are a for-​profit business, not Goodwill, and that they have to make their money somehow. They offer me a relatively small chunk of change for the convenience of dropping a bag in the mail. Fine. Here’s the real clincher — you have to wait 14 days to cash out, and when that day arrives, you still don’t get any money.
It’s been over a week since I’ve tried to cash out my measly pittance, and I’ve got nothing. No money in my PayPal account (oh yeah, don’t forget about the 2% PayPal cut you give up as well), no response to my emails to customer support. (UPDATE: I give one star to Jamie in customer support, who responded to my second email right away; mysteriously, my initial email was never logged…)
Like the other reviewers have said, you’re better off just doing what you were doing before and donating your old/​gently used clothes to charity and getting karma points in exchange. It’s just not worth the frustration of trying to interact with ThredUp.

TERRIBLE first (and last) experience. I sent a huge bag of kids clothes in to Thred Up and they rejected nearly all of the items. For the 8 items they actually accepted, I got a whopping $ 6. They rejected stonewashed jeans as «faded», and an item that had been washed ONCE and never worn as «faded».
You are better off giving them away to friends, or donating them to charity yourself. At least you would get the tax deduction. My advice, don’t waste your time!

This company is a scam if I ever saw one. They tell you that you can send your «gently, like-​new clothes» that you no longer want, to them and they will pay you 40% of what they are going to sell them for.
If you look at the clothes on their site you are bound to think that what you are sending to them is better than anything you see on their site.
So you fill up this «polka dot» bag that they send you, with your beautiful items, thinking that you will get a little bit of money in return, but you end up with $ 2.00. You feel insulted and surely you want your beautiful items back. But that will cost you $ 9.00.
They claim that they send your unwanted items to the needy. I’ll bet these people are filling their closets with beautiful clothes sent to them by people like me.
I just noticed that this is the web address they want you to share
