Imagine&#8230; it&#8217;s Saturday morning and you&#8217;re having coffee in bed with your cat and you&#8217;re able to shop without having to leave your house or put on real clothes. I swear, there&#8217;s nothing better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know there are other sites and apps for thrifting or buying secondhand like Poshmark and Depop for example, but thredUp runs like a store where you can return items that didn&#8217;t work for you whereas a lot of sellers don&#8217;t allow you to return <g class=\"gr_ gr_66 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"66\" data-gr-id=\"66\">garnments<\/g>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are my pros and cons of thredUp:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The selection of clothes-<\/strong> my favorite thing I would say about thredUp is their selection of clothes. You can select your sizes and search the whole website\/app from them going through every brand or category of the type of garment. They carry sizes XXS to 5X and shoe sizes 4 to 12. <\/li><li><strong>Clean-<\/strong> I have yet to receive an item that smelled terrible, was dirty or heavily wrinkled. <\/li><li><strong>Customer Service-<\/strong> their customer service is AMAZING. They are knowledgable, quick to answer questions, and are wonderful problem solvers. I have been in some terrible pickles- needed to cancel my order because of some money complications and even had to have my package rerouted because it was being sent to my <g class=\"gr_ gr_1056 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling\" id=\"1056\" data-gr-id=\"1056\">ex-fiance&#8217;s<\/g> house. Yup, that was a fun one, but they were able to fix it. Thank goodness.  <\/li><li><strong>Returns-<\/strong> making returns are super easy, you can choose how you would like the return to be issued- merchandise credit or back to the original form of payment. They also take care of a shipping label for $8.99, free for merchandise credit returns, or if you&#8217;d like, you can make your own return label. <\/li><li><strong>App-<\/strong> long gone are the days of having to only online shop on a computer; they have an app. I actually prefer the app, it&#8217;s super simple to navigate and use. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>$1.99-<\/strong> there is a restocking fee of $1.99 per item should you return any items. <\/li><li><strong>Measurements-<\/strong> some of the clothing has measurements attached to the description of an item. Occasionally these measurements are not accurate. <\/li><li><strong>Not labeled-<\/strong> even if a pair of jeans has a label <g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">in<\/g> it saying &#8220;highest rise skinny jeans&#8221; they do not list it, making it frustrating if you like a certain style of pants<g class=\"gr_ gr_41 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"41\" data-gr-id=\"41\"> <\/g>a brand makes. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I spend way too much money on thredUp because I absolutely love the company. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.thredup.com As I mentioned in my previous post, is there anything better than being able to sit in bed, on your phone, and thrift?
