Thredup — Duped by seller

My Order number is [protected].

I placed an order because the seller indicated the details about the item. I received the the item and it was not as described. I checked the web site to see if I made a mistake. There is absolutely no description of the item I purchased. I believe the seller led me on. Where is the description of my item? How come the description is not available now?

It's ridiculous that there is no contact number for this company. They probably knew they would be inundated with phone calls so they make it very difficult to contact them.

    Thredup — Impossible to return items

    I ordered two items from THREDUP. They don't fit. When I purchased them it said that they were eligible for return. I went to the returns page and it is blank. There are no icons to press to start a return. The chat box is not helpful, they keep sending me back to the blank returns page. I am really unhappy with this site. You never can get in touch with them. No phone number, no customer support email address. BUYER BEWARE!

      Thredup — Clean out bags

      I mailed a clean out bag and it was received by Thred up on 8/30/20. I placed two orders on 9/5/20 and 9/27/20 received these items with no problem. I can show that the payouts decreased by 2/3 of what I typically received for my clothing. My Cleanout bag is not processed still. I am quite sure Thred up received paycheck protection funds and had no problem sending my items they marked up dramatically to sell . As you can see my payouts went from 59$ -36$ to 4$, 5$, 10$ and they literally gave me nothing for Lilly Pulitzer that they sold. Thred up is committing fraud, misrepresenting payout and being mismanaged and they need to be sued for this.

        Thredup — two bags mailed on the same day in march 2020

        Two bags were mailed in March 2020. Only one was confirmed. The second bag had more designer handbags and jewlery. Never heard anything back and the company is impossible to get a real person to talk with about finding out what happened to the second bag. I had very good results in the beginning but this issue impossible! I can not find out anything through Thredup!

          Thredup — never received credit for a bag of designer clothes!

          I sent to ThredUp a bag of designer clothes of 22 items in January 2020. I kept checking my account to see what they would keep and nothing ever showed up so I emailed towards the end of January. No response. But I did receive an email that said, "Please rate your call with Jessica". So I emailed again and still no response! I can't find an 800 number. It's INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING to not have your emails responded to and to not have the ability to speak to a human being!!!

            Thredup — stealing clothes/ poor quality clothing

            I sent a large package of pre owned clothing, many name brands. I never received a response on what they decided with regard to what they were going to purchase and/or return. I attempted to inquire but with no response. Never got any items returned and no money was sent. I have a credit with thredUP and would appreciate a check as I tried to purchase additional items however the items received were badly worn, faded and often with holes. Stay away from thredUP, I now see many of their items on Ebay.

                So they basically steal the clothes people send in, find a way to "reject" them, then sell on Ebay?

                Thredup — error message appears persistently while I try to place my order

                I have been trying to buy 3 items, using the same valid credit card I used just 3 days ago with ThredUp. I keep getting an error message saying that I am not providing "valid payment information." I have re-entered every box 6 times.
                There is no way I can see to fix this problem. I also can find no way to reach a real person to assist with this problem. The only telephone numbers posted (on a different site) have only electronic answerers. I have been at it for several hours now, with no changed results. VERY FRUSTRATING.
                I have written 3 emails, and no real response. The stock answer is that it can take from 7 - 10 days to respond. Unfortunately, my "cart" will expire long before then. And my "bundle" option will also expire. SO I'm feeling pretty defeated, and thinking that ThredUp is not a good way for me to buy or sell my quality gently used name brand clothing. 11-11-19

                  Thredup — clothing I sent to them and haven't received any money for the items they sold.

                  Back during the summer I sent in about 5 or 6 bags of clothing to them. They sold some of the clothing under the pretext that I would get a portion of the money. I hit my cash out button and still haven't received any money from them.i want my money and they need to be shut down and sued for falsely advertising that when they sell your clothes you get a portion of the money.

                    Thredup — they stole my clothes.

                    I sent in a bag of clothes to consign. They posted everything EXCEPT 3 barely worn boys Under Armour sweatshirts. What happened to them when they were Included in the bag I sent? Who knows since there is absolutely no way to file a customer complaint. I am contacting the Better Biz Bureau. It's the principle of it as I am sure they are scamming a lot of other people. Keeping the best items for themselves? What do they do with it?

                      Thredup — support/ refund

                      I have ordered clothes from them twice now and both times when some items were returned I never got refunded my money for them. I love this concept and the layout of the website, but I feel like I' getting ripped off. I've emailed, called and chatted and cannot get a hold of anyone. I work in SF across from their corporate office. Maybe I should just show up and demand some help!

                        ThredUp, Inc. — hesche leather satchel and antonio melani shoes

                        Changed address on website several times, but once the order goes through, my old address came up which is where these have been sent. Once I realized that it was happening again, I tried to cancel the order (ThredUP does not allow that I guess)
                        but could not find a way to do so. I have also contacted them several times regarding the address change issue. The address shows on the website order page as changed, but once you hit the purchase button you can see that the old one is the shipping address. So, that is why it happened twice. I thought that I had corrected it. They have no customer service number that I am aware of.

                            i cannnot generate a return label ...their process seems stuck. Am left with the alternative of paying the return postage.

                            A hat i am returning was misrepresented. thredUP advertised it as 'fits all'. The reality is that there is a tag inside with a size of '0/S'. it is too small for my head ... seems suited for a child.

                          Item was supposed to be 100% Cotton;it's not, it's actually 55%Linen&45%Rayon-I like natural, 100%cotton clothing, that's why I ordered it;IF I'd known the Truth about the fabric content I wouldn't have bought it-classic case of FALSE ADVERTISING!I won't buy anymore clothing from these Fraudsters!They Cheat you on resale items, too, plus lie&Steal items

                            Thredup — customer service

                            First, I want to start by saying how frustrating it is not to be able to connect with a human being at a company that you are trying to purchase things from. I emailed ThredUp regarding another order days ago and no one has responded to my inquiry, which is concerning since the following inquiry is time-sensitive.

                            I just received my Goody Box but there was no invoice in the box so I have no idea how much any of these clothes cost. I can't find one in my account either.

                            The "response" email from customer service said it could take up to 5 days for someone to get back to me, which is convenient since this box needs to be returned within 7 days or I'll be charged for all of it.

                            And, I agree with others that their payout policies are BS. I stopped selling with them and now I am pretty sure I won't shop with them either. Returns cost $9, plus a $2 restocking fee. I'll stick with Amazon, I think.

                            Thanks.

                              I sent this kit in about 3 to 4 weeks ago and finally received a confirmation that ThredUP had received it, but instead of doing consignment, they decided to do it as a donation box… Which I NEVER selected at all! There are two completely different tabs on their website and I have never selected donation… Of course, this box had tons of shoes, brand new items and now no one is responding. I cannot get anyone to reply to emails or online on their instant messaging option. I need someone to contact me please to get this resolved.

                                I sent 3 pairs of brand new never worn and expensive shoes including a pair of reppetto and a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes with the hope that thredup would buy them from me and sell them on their website as advertised. Instead they gave me 0$ and are selling them anyway on their website. They have also refuse d to send the items back or provide any information regarding their supposed recycling.
