I guess they are trying all new ideas with the same ole same ole flavor. I'm not sure what the catch is or how it is really different then what they do now, except the one week processing time. Thoughts?
Dear Stephanie,
You’ve been invited to a pilot designed to improve your selling experience with thredUP!
Congrats! Your selling behavior indicates that you may buy items specifically for us that aren’t just coming from your closet. You send us a lot of great stuff - and while we’ve sold a lot of your items, we also had to reject some of your items. We value the time you put into making these purchases and want to see how to work together better! We hope that by sharing more information, more of your items will end up on our site, sell faster and maximize your earnings. And if this works, we want to invite you to be part of a new program geared towards supporting high volume suppliers.
If you haven’t received it already, a Complimentary Bag is on its way to you! It’s a VIP bag and will be processed within 1 week of being received at our warehouse. We want to give you this bag to fill with our fastest selling brands, categories, and styles (see below my signature for detailed info). As a rule of thumb, please send:
more accessories (handbags & shoes), plus & maternity, designer labels, AND
fewer items in smaller sizes (XXS, XS, Small, Size 00, Size 0 etc), pants & skirts.
Email us at supply_partner@thredup.com if you’d like to opt out of these complimentary bag sends and we won’t bother you again. Thanks again for partnering with us and we can’t wait to see the great items you find!
Best,
Rothschild Signature - 8-8-17, 4-25 PM.jpg

That's great!
I haven't sent them anything in over a year.
Someone else posted (forgot who and what thread) about getting a VIP bag.

I know they started an upscale service too. I don't think this is the same program.
Maybe it is?
In the meantime how about processing the 4 bags that I already sent them? They're just sitting there.

I don't think this is the same as the upscale service.
My take is that they don't want you to send the stuff that you have been sending because they have to reject a lot of it so they are wanting you to focus on sending them "more accessories (handbags & shoes), plus & maternity, designer labels, AND fewer items in smaller sizes (XXS, XS, Small, Size 00, Size 0 etc), pants & skirts."
Apparently they think you are buying items to flip on their site and they want to narrow your buying focus to those things that they identified.

Yes, they want you to send more of the stuff they CAN sell and profit hugely from, and less of what they have to take their time to sort through and eventually reject, costing them man hours. In other words, pick for them at pennies on the dollar. Sorry to be so cynical, but their payouts have been getting lower and lower.
That's not to say I wouldn't do it though! Good luck with it.

I have a bunch of plus size and larger sizes I just can't move - I might send it to them after all.

I do send them turds. The only thing that I care about is one week processing.
Well I don't really care. I'm not sure I'm going to even send another bag.

Some of it is, but this will be the third fall/winter I've listed it.

Maybe you need a plus size mani form.

I think that it's just that I'm as crappy at picking plus sized stuff as I am at any other rtw.

I have a Z rack crammed with the stuff - going nowhere. I'm so sick of looking at it. :/

Dear ThreadUp. I'm sending you all the turds i can't unload on eBay. This would include tiny sizes, pants and skirts. Designer labels, handbags and plus sell just fine for me there and for more than the peanuts you pay. Thanks. Stephanie

Dear Stephanie, What makes you think we want the turds that you can't unload on ebay? Just because you paid good money for them doesn't mean that we are going to make the same mistake.
Attached please find a list of your local Goodwills and Salvation Army stores. Do not hesitate to use their drop off locations to dump your crap on them.
Best Regards,
ThreadUp

Dear Thredup, I know where all the local Goodwills and Salvation Armies are. Where do you think I bought these turds in the first place? If I redonate them chances are I'll just rebuy them and send them to you two years from now anyway so lets just save time and I'll send them in my next bag. Regards, Stephanie

Dear Stephanie,
In order to just save time and aggravation, take that crap out to your driveway and set them on fire. A good time to complete this task would be on 8/21 when all eyes will be focused on the sky. Be sure to have a water hose handy for safety.
Use this as a learning lesson and don't make the same mistakes again because we are not your partner in crime when it comes to mitigating your bad judgement.
Good Luck,
ThreadUp

Dear Stephanie - On second thought, send them to Kritter's house to use as cat bedding. We hear she's taking in seven new foster kittens. - Your friends at ThredUp
