I haven’t made a purchase from Bins yet, but I already love the concept. It feels just like real thrifting, except online — digging through unique finds, discovering random gems, and getting that same treasure-hunt feeling without having to leave the house. The setup is easy to browse, the items refresh often, and the whole vibe gives you that authentic thrift-store experience. I’m excited to make my first purchase soon, but so far the platform itself is fun, creative, and definitely worth checking out if you love thrifting.
I saw a story time on TikTok an watched the whole thing (8 minutes long). At the end he tied this app into the story so I decided to check it out. It feels an works like a very well put together but I feel as though the “bins” themselves are a little weak. With it being my first time using the app maybe it just hasn’t found my presences yet. But as an 18 yr old male college student I don’t feel it’s that hard. I think there should be a spot to put what size clothes you are so you can see more of those. Secondly, when first logging on it’s very important to capture the customers attention, so I suggest you put up 3 or 4 general styles for them to choose from. Like I said this was my first time so if these options are already available than redact what I said but those are my thoughts.
Found this app a couple of weeks ago on the poshmark and depop subreddits. Forgot about it until today and just signed up. It's very creative and a new take on online shopping, which I love. It mimics the experience of thrifting (especially in the bins!) quite well. The posting process is much easier and faster than other apps and the UI is wayyy beyond depop, posh and ebay. My only suggestion would be the ability to upload multiple photos at once and to rotate them in app! Otherwise, love it and would absolutely recommend.
