I love their sustainable packaging

I love their sustainable packaging. I love shopping with them generally, but this time wasn't the best
There were items missing that I paid for, and the docs that I bought were not in as good condition as I expected. They were cracked at the creases

Hi Cherry,

Please receive our apologies for this!

We are continuously working with our charity partners to make sure they only list items in very good condition and in the case of any damages, we'll make sure this is clearly shown in the pictures and in the descriptions.

Thanks for sharing!

Quick delivery, great quality

The delivery came quickly and everything is amazing quality. Some of the tags were removed though, which I just thought was a bit weird but doesn't change the fact that I'll be wearing my new clothes all the time.

I did not receive a full refund

I ordered a dress but received an email saying it had been damaged in the warehouse and I would receive a full refund. Up until that point, I would have given 5 stars because the email arrived promptly, explained the problem and promised a good resolution despite the initial disappointment. For some reason, I only received £11.04 of the £12.00 paid. Yes, it’s only 96p but I’m not sure why this has been deducted when it wasn’t my fault that the order was cancelled. It has certainly put me off using Thriftify again.

Really great products when ordered from…

Really great products when ordered from Irish shops with fast delivery too. The big “But” is that it does not specifically state UK ones - I have been waiting nearly two weeks and have just had to pay 49 euro customs on one bag and another 10 euro on another in order for an post to deliver the products, I probably wouldn’t of ordered if I had known about the added 60 euros on top of my initial order.

Hey There!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted that you enjoy our products!
However, I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the customs charges which applied to you for separate bags. The reason could be that the item would have been from two different charities. We truly appreciate your feedback. If there's anything we can do to assist or make it right, please don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you smoother and happier shopping experiences ahead!

Fantastic Organisation

Due to health issues I haven't been able to visit Charity Shops for quite a while, so I've been keeping an eye on the virtual options for some time now. Upon finding this website, it seems my problem has been solved!

I placed an order through Thriftify with Cerebral Palsy CYMRU, and got several lovely items. There was quite a lot of choice, pricing was very reasonable, descriptions included an overview of the condition and any flaws, sizes were stated. There was a lovely handwritten note and lollipop included, everything was as ordered, smelt fresh, wrapped up and packed neatly, I was sooo pleased with the presentation. I was a bit disappointed that Evri was the chosen courier, but perhaps with all the current Royal Mail upheaval that is wise. In future, I would like to see an option to choose Royal Mail as the courier.

I had trouble tracking my parcel through the initial email and my Thriftify account, so I emailed Thriftify's customer service to ask for the tracking number. They replied within a day, provided the tracking number, the current status of my parcel, and an estimate of how long it would take to arrive - clearly above and beyond! I also found the search function on the website to be really intuitive and helpful, especially the option to only shop with UK-based or Ireland-based stores to avoid customs charges, as well as the option to shop with a particular store to keep the postage cost low.

Overall I'm absolutely thrilled with the service received & price paid, and I will definitely be returning. :)

Love thriftify

Love thriftify! I'd say close to half my wardrobe must be made up of thriftify buys at this point. It's a fun, low-cost way to try new styles, and to pick up basics, and delivery is quick!

I love what you are doing but my…

I love what you are doing but my experience needs to be told.
Firstly I received one dress from Ireland says Size medium but in reality size 10.
Second dress arrived. Size says medium. In reality size 8.
Next I wait and wait for next 2 items. I eventually receive a customs charge for 25 euro plus for the next 2 items which I paid unhappily.
Skirt beautiful marks and spencers saying size 12. It is so small it must be a size 6.
Alpaca Cape was second item. Wonderful item but sadly huge. You would need to be six feet tall a nd more a 16 for it to fit. Have given to someone in need.
Perhaps you need to make it clearer if goods are coming from Uk and check sizing which is probably an impossible task.
I would not buy this way again as it was so disappointing and I really wanted to improve my carbon footprint .
Thought you needed to know.

Hi Kenta,

Thanks for sharing your feedback and we've made sure to improve on our descriptions since then. Given that we work with multiple charity organisations based in both Ireland and the UK, the postage cost can become expensive when buying from multiple charities at the same time. One way to avoid this is to select the items from the same charity, as the postage will only be applied once.
If there is any way that we can help you with, do let us know.
Thanks,
Team Thriftify

I bought a pair of boots

I bought a pair of boots, then waited for their delivery. No delivery, why? the boots went missing. Too many other online stores to shop from, in case it happens again.

Exquisite vintage wool coat

Beautiful coat, exquisite quality. The add however did not mention a missing button, entire button set will have to be replaced. Used tissues in the pockets. I was surprised Coat had not been passed through a quality control especially with Covid still a health risk.

Ordered an occassion hat. Very impressed with the speed of delivery and the care and attention in packaging such a fragile item. It arrived in perfect condition just a few days after the order was placed.
