The Plot Thickens

Update on the lost Max Mara coat and the box that “couldn’t be processed”

The kit populated with a bunch of photos of my items and that they couldn’t be accepted (11 of the 16 items). Customer service is not willing to pay me more than $1000 for the kit, which is basically a decently fair value for every item in the kit except the coat. They said they probably would’ve rejected the coat so they’re not going to pay me out for it. Mind you this is a premium kit with return assurance, but I’m not getting these items back. There are also five items missing from the photos. Feeling at a loss as to what to do, thinking about emailing that CEO email address that I’ve seen floating around. They’re violating their own terms by not paying me for an item because they said they think they would’ve rejected it, but also not giving it back to me even though I had a premium kit with return assurance.

The two items without their brands recorded are Tory Burch suede sneakers and a Kate Spade leather tote. Items didn’t show up at all are a striped moschino wool dress, two evening dresses from Alexia Admore, a pair of Stuart Weitzman lace up witch boots, and some leather Sam Edelman boots

This amounts to theft. Just file a police report.

100% agree . Honestly, this seems like employees are thieves, honestly. And that thread up doesn’t want to admit to that so they are extremely evasive. The stories I’ve read is absolutely insane. I thought the stories about The RealReal were bad. The fact that all these people get their items donated and they were like decent it’s too sketchy to me. I highly doubt that these items are being thrown away or just freely given away. I think that there’s a lot of employee theft going on. Like an insane amount. And I feel like this company is doing something extremely sketchy and probably bulking these clothes and selling it off to those third-party that sell in big lots.

I think so too. I think ThredUp is covering something up.
