Not worth it unless you have stuff priced over $40 and can get 40%. There percentages are ridiculous for lower priced clothes. You can order return assurance for about $12 but be prepared to get a bag back with your items stuffed in like garbage. They do not even take the time to fold things nicely even though you pay for this service.

As everyone said "don't bother, you may get only $1 or $2. I send them 5 bags in different times but didn't get much. I don't shop or consigne there any more. I take it to local conginment shop.
Thanks

If you have quality clothing, I suggest you sell them at your local consignment shop. You will be disappointed if you sell to ThredUp.

I will personally never send any more clothes in. For a huge bag of about 25 brand new, name brand items (jcrew wool blazer, lucky jeans, diane von furstenberg skirt), i got $75. HUGE RIP OFF. If i'd sold on ebay, i could have gotten $75 for one of the silk camisoles i sent... waste of time.

I would DEFINITELY not send ANYTHING to them. They are a rip off. I sent hardly worn in excellent condition clothes. They rejected 90% of it including a brand new Kate Spade purse in its original dust cover. After all was over and done and I got my things returned back to me I made $2.80. DO NOT USE THIS OCMPANY!

Personally, I would never use this company again. I have no idea what they did with the nicer clothes I sent them (2 with $100+ tags on them). I would just prefer to donate them and know they are going somewhere they will be used.

No. I am donating all of my clothing that is now too large, to a local thrift store called Bibles for Mexico. At least the clothes have a chance of going to someone who will get good use out of them.

Donate to Goodwill and take the tax credit because this place will NOT help you. Go to a local consignment shop sell on Offer Up. I; ve had great luck on it

Don't do it. Take the clothes to a consignment store and make a few bucks. If you send them here you'll get nothing. It's a scam.

Do NOT sell to them. Horrible experience. Basically stole very valuable things from the bag and when I tried 4x's to write and call about this no one will return m, y call and it's been 2 months. Bad business!

I don't think so. That said, if people don't send stuff in we won't get such great deals.

I had a good experience. My first bag is lost from the post office, still trying to track that down. The second time I got $17.00 and two of my purses on consignment. I thought it was easy and had good results. If my handbags sell it will be definately worth it.

When they receive my bag, I always get an email saying when I can expect my payout. Recently, since they added the second processing center here on the East coast, I'm noticing that things are happening a lot faster. But it does still take a couple of weeks usually.

You won't get paid how you think you will. I've waited 2 1/2 months to get "paid" in my paypal account (after fees) or you can use the credit towards a purchase on their website
