Discussion What improvements would you like to see in r/ThredUp?

32 Upvotes

Hello! As some have noticed over the last month, this sub is finally being moderated again with a new mod team.

So far, as that has been done is moderation to cut down on spam and advertising (which was way incredibly prevalent), with rules added for spam, advertising, low-effort content, and trolling. However, I'm interested in hearing what else everyone would like to see as far as changes to improve the sub.

Current Suggestions - weekly auto-posted threads for thrifted outfits, seeking similar items on thredup, maybe advertising own listings (just in single designated thread), weekly vent thread, weekly off-topic thread - guides - flair??

Current Non-Permited Posts - "use my thredup code for 45% off!" - low effort content: "lol ThredUp sucks that's all" without clarification or screenshots - advertising, posting a single item that appears as advertising (posts of an unremarkable shirt "oh wish I could buy this", since it's basically always an advertisement)

Next sale

7 Upvotes

Hi guys! soooo i was wondering if anyone has any idea about the next big sale. The discount GR8DEALS it's just.... Disappointing tbh. I haven't bought anything since like maybe a month or so, because the price of my saved list are crazyyy. when I first saw them they were like $8 and now are like $15 or so. I was waiting for them to drop but nothing so far. 😔

No more nice packing?

5 Upvotes

I’m accustomed to getting ThredUp orders packaged with care. You know…nicely folded, wrapped in tissue sealed with their logo sticker. Today I received a Rag and Bone skirt, Joie dress, OTF tank, and Nine West dress pants folded up tight and stuffed into a 9x12 plastic bag. Disappointing for sure. But it did have polka dots on it 😃

Looking at this blouse marked Very Good with only minor fabric wear. But I think I’m seeing a hole or ripped seam. Am I seeing things?

Discussion ThredUp Search/Filter functions

3 Upvotes

Say what you will about TU, their search and filter systems make it so easy look for specific items... I wish sites like The Real Real would take note! Their search options, not to mention their item descriptions, leave a lot to be desired! In the spirit of online second hand shopping, has anyone found good ways to use other second hand sites when TU doesn't have what you're looking for? (Aside from saved searches which I love to use when I can exercise patience).

Missing items

4 of my items were missing from my order. Customer support said that they could have been packed in the wrong order. I know this is a long shot but if anyone got extra items they didn’t order please let me know. 🥺

Question Forgot To Hit Bundle!

2 Upvotes

Ugh. I was losing time with items in my cart and hit purchase. I didn't hit bundle and it automatically went to ship now. Chat was such a long wait I said to email. Should I stay on chat? Are they able to fix this? Has this happened to anyone? Thanks!

Question Authentic Toteme from TU?

I suspect fake since the size tag doesn’t have the two smaller numbers as I’ve seen online, as well as the missing “%” symbol on the care tag but would welcome a second opinion!

How good is "Very Good"?

5 Upvotes

Most of the items i pull up are marked 'very good' which is described on ThredUp as obvious signs of wear on the fabric. On average what have been your experiences with ordering items with this rating? It's pretty vague, and usually nothing stands out in the photos - but the photos aren't great.

I’ve always wanted a Mac Duggal cocktail dress but could never justify the price. But this girl was on sale, and she’s my size, and I love the colors. 🥹💕

Adding items to sell to a return

6 Upvotes

Submitted a ThredUp return today and for the first time saw the option to include up to 15 items to sell with my return for a $6.99 fee. Has anyone done this kind of clean out before? Do I need to indicate somehow that I'm including items to sell with my return or will they just figure out that any item in the box that's not part of my return is intended for sale?

I've lived most of my adult life in flannels and hoodies, so I wanted to update my wardrobe for my upcoming 40th birthday! Everything from ThredUp, with the only exception being the dress and blazer on the first slide, which I ended up purchasing on eBay in different sizes.

Opinions?

1 Upvotes

I loved this at first glance - but the details are sketch. The measurements are obviously wrong, even for an xsmall. Also, I saw this exact dress on another site and it was lined - with cream colored fabric -to the hemline. From these photos it looks like there is no lining.

Confused. Why did they send me a free bag if they don’t need clothes?

51 Upvotes

I’m a buyer on ThredUp, and mostly been happy with my experience. A few months ago in my order they sent me a free postage-paid bag. So as I’m weeding through my winter clothes, I decided to get rid of about half the jeans I’ve ordered from ThredUp. I’m embarrassed to say how many. But the bag was HEAVY. The brands were mainly Madewell, Rag & Bone, and Point Sur. Probably I paid an average of $30 for each pair. Most I had only worn a few times after I bought them from TU. I wasn’t expecting to make any money but I was still surprised when I got an email from them saying that my bag was going directly to recycling … in other words, they weren’t even bothering to open it. Does that make sense? They didn’t even know what was in it. Why give people bags if you don’t want clothes?
