The Resell Club vs. thredUP: A Humorous Face-Off


In the world of online clothing consignment, it's essential to find a platform that not only helps you declutter your closet but also makes you smile along the way. Today, we're comparing two industry leaders: The Resell Club and thredUP.

Curbside Item Drop-off

- The Resell Club: Yes, because who wants to deal with shipping or even getting out of the car?
- thredUP: Nope you can only ship items to them, but don't worry, it's not like packages ever get lost or anything.

Selling Processing Times

- The Resell Club: 1-5 business days, because waiting six weeks feels like an eternity.
- thredUP: ~6+ weeks, or you can pay $8 from your earnings for a speedier processing time of around 2 weeks... which still feels like an eternity.

You Have to Pay to Sell Your Stuff?

- The Resell Club: Absolutely not. We believe you should earn, not pay to earn.
- thredUP: Yes, and it can go up to a whopping total of $36.97 from your earnings for your "clean out"... You'd think they'd at least throw in a free cup of coffee for that price.

Upfront Buyouts & Consignment

- The Resell Club: Yes, because sometimes you need cash in your pocket, like, yesterday.
- thredUP: Nah, they prefer to keep you waiting.

Get Your Rejected Items Back for Free

- The Resell Club: Yes, because we respect your fashion choices.
- thredUP: No, and they'll charge you $10.99 from your earnings to remind you that they didn't want your stuff.

Climate Neutral Certified

- The Resell Club: Yes, because we believe in saving the planet while saving your closet.
- thredUP: No, because, well, the planet can take care of itself, right?

1% for The Planet Member

- The Resell Club: Yes, because we love the Earth more than we love fees.
- thredUP: No, because they're too busy counting the fees.

Compostable & Recycled Packaging

- The Resell Club: Yes, because even our packaging wants to be eco-friendly.
- thredUP: Nope, because plastic is forever, right?

Buyer Returns Your Consigned Item?

- The Resell Club: You KEEP your payout, and we'll even throw in a virtual high-five.
- thredUP: You LOSE your payout, and they probably expect you to pay for their disappointment.

Get Paid via Venmo or PayPal

- The Resell Club: Yes, because we live in the 21st century.
- thredUP: No, because, well, they just don't want to.

4+ Selling Marketplaces

- The Resell Club: Yes, because why limit yourself to just one party when you can attend four?
- thredUP: No... not everyone can be as cool as The Resell Club.
