“The customer service was exceptional”

Zoe A.

I ordered an Allbirds Running Shoes from Swap.com last week, and I was amazed at how quickly it arrived. The packaging was secure, ensuring the item was undamaged. The customer service was exceptional, as they kept me updated throughout the entire process. I had a question about the product, and their support team responded promptly and professionally. Overall, my experience with Swap.com was outstanding, and I can't wait for my next purchase.

“What Happened?”

Charlene C.
2/8/24

This used to be my go to site for clothing and shoes. Tonight I thought I'd take a peek at what's new and discovered no longer are you able to pick your shoe size, dress size, or another size! It's not even divided into subcategories like petite and Plus. Awwwww...liked it better 4-5 years ago when it was easy to find what I was looking for and there is not near the items that there used to be. Also, had to wait for a code via email to signing. It's been over 45 minutes and still no code, even asked for a 2nd code, you guessed it...still no code!. So long Swap. Back to Poshmark for me. Sad to leave.

I love the convenience of a second hand store online. They have great prices. It is a great place to find clothes for kids. I found some things for myself, too.

I have been using swap for three years now. I get most of my items for my kids off of swap and have made almost $700 from personal consignment. I have spent about $420 on swap. I always look forward to my monthly sales and it helps balance out buying clothing and shoes for my family. I loved all the items I have purchased and look forward to shopping there as well.The quality I was always pleased with but since constant recent changes and growth, service has really gone downhill and it's hard to even get a box excepted. Most of my items that were excepted even if they are brand new have been listed as in fair condition. I had something break in my box and instead of reporting poor shipping to fed ex and resolving it in that way, my box was not excepted and I was not notified why until I inquired. And now i am expected to pay for shipping back to myself and they won't even go through the box. Also my box was listed as too large which was not the case. It's just a battle now to get anything consigned there and I am considering not using their services any longer... Very bummed about this decision I am facing as I have really enjoyed this company until recently. Customer service is a battle now as well when it was so easy before. Very unfortunate.

I PLACED AN ORDER IN FEBRUARY 2016 WHICH WAS MY FIRST TIME. I BUY TOYS FOR THE CHRISTMAS TOY SHOP IN FLORIDA ALL DURING THE YEAR. I WAS SO HAPPY WITH THE ITEMS THAT I RECEIVED. THEY WERE EVERYTHING THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AND IN GREAT SHAPE. I WILL CONTINUE TO ORDER ITEMS FROM THIS SITE.

I love shopping online and it comes right to my door in a few days. Saves me so much money and time. Return policy is so easy and quick, but rarely do I have to return items.

I have had great success in buying from this site. Very happy buyer. From the reviews very hesitent to sell. I got burned by other sites on value to what was sent. Afraid to take that chance again.

I've spent about $350 on swap.com in the past 2 months. Brand new shoes that fit perfectly - originally $98 for $24. The clothing has all been brand new or gently broken in, but most come with tags. I bought a pair of Lucky shorts with embroidery for $15.00; the tag attached said $74.50! It's crazy great & totally worth the trial. And 100% return if you're not satisfied... send it back.

And I did have one shoe that was new but must have been kept in a poor environment previously... the color started peeling off the stretchy strap on the sandal-but not even noticeable. Well, after I wore them an entire day out shopping, one of the stretch straps came apart where I couldn't fix it. I left an email to customer service just letting them know a $4 product did not last. OMG! They gave me back my $4, plus $2.50 in shipping & told me I had no need to mail them back with sincere apologies from a REAL PERSON!

Amazing company with which to do business! And sales on low-priced items all the time! I'm blessed & gave up on eBay. The only improvement would be adding the waist measurements so we KNOW it's gonna fit. I have a few skirts that might be too tight right now, but I'm working to get into them cuz they're gorgeous.

I've not been disappointed at all.

I've found terrific bargains shopping on SWAP.Com and the list of perks is great. First of all their prices are very low, even for brand new merchandise!

They often run "sales" where those low prices are discounted even further. Frequently they also offer free shipping with a $50 purchase, which is fantastic! Their system allows the user to sort and filter the items so you can only see what you need. I've needed boys jeans so sorted by size and then by price. Then, I easily made my selections. In the end, I purchased 14 pair of new or gently used jeans for my grandson for $56.00, and I got free shipping! (And I never left my home). My daughter was thrilled! Can you do that from a retail store?

When they receive the items, the Swap Staff inspect each item for odors, pet hair, stains, rips or imperfections. If they see something wrong, the item is rejected so the items you buy are carefully screened. They guarantee your satisfaction in whatever you purchase AND they ship super fast!

I've purchased brand new toys and games around the holiday season, and skews of great children's clothing (some slightly worn and others brand new with tags) at the beginning of each school year, or at the change of seasons.

Why pay those high retail prices for kids clothes when you can fill a big box full for what 2 or 3 pieces would cost in the stores?

I have been buying on Swap for about 2 years to resell on ebay. Most everything was $10 or less and their were always coupon codes out there and I always spent over $100 so I got free shipping. Items would come sometimes even the next day. It was great and I spend $20,000 last year alone with Swap. Like the old saying goes all good things must come to an end :( Well, alot has changed with this once great site. Prices have gone about double and there are rarely and coupon codes out there anymore and I am lucky if I get my packages within 5 days. I believe they are trying to be like or compare to the other big site Thredup. Swap is a big downgrade from Thredup, however I loved buying on swap more because their prices were always so much lower than Thredup. The prices now are really ridiculous and most items you can buy for the same price new or close to new retail. They say they are the largest online thrift store, but yet their "thrift store" prices are more like a 20% off sale buying brand new retail. I think they forgot these are used items. They will end up loosing alot of buyers because of their huge increase in prices. I wish they would go back to letting their sellers price their own items instead of greedy spap pricing them. Such a shame!

I've sold on Swap for a couple years with an average reject rate of 24%. That was considered OK and I was chosen as a Premier Seller when Swap's policies recently changed. So, under the new policies, I sent my first box of about 70+ ladies' tops to Swap with the same quality of clothing I'd always sent. One third of the items were new with tags. They rejected 60% of my clothing, including two pair of new shoes. My second box's processing is pending. I'll see what happens with the second box, which I shouldn't have sent before I knew the reject rate on the first (live and learn). If the results are similar with this box, I'm through with them. It appears that they would rather make money from fines imposed on highly rejected items or other such 'violations' rather than selling clothing. They can deduct all they want, when they want. Because I can sell my remaining clothing elsewhere. If I end up owing them money, they can sue me. (Their court filing fees cost more than what I'd owe.) I am not going to appeal their decision. They aren't worth my time. Their policies are constantly changing because they are in financial trouble. They lost investors, are undergoing a former-employee class action suit, and now, they are going to lose a lot of sellers. Swap.com is becoming Scam.com. It's a shame that a company has to resort to nefarious tactics just to keep their head above water. I don't mind buying from them; but it appears that I will no longer sell on their devious site.

Swap C. – Swap.com Rep

Hello Marissa,

We greatly apologize your recent experience in sending in a box was not what you expected. We take great pride in thoroughly reviewing each item sent in, as this ensures we are placing the highest quality items on our site.

We spend a lot of time reviewing each item, so the last thing we want to do is reject the item as this costs us a lot of time and money. Our goal is for our sellers to have a less than 20% reject rate, as this helps us to move through the boxes quickly and maximize the items we are able to add to our site.

If we can answer additional questions regarding your box, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at 630-296-0146 or assistance@swap.com.

Sincerely,

Jen - Swap.com

I actually started out loving Swap! Now, not so much! There's a few issues that need attention. Buying from them I ok. The items are great, but need closer attention when they package and "code" them. They recently switched from UPS to FedEx for shipping. I prefer UPS. If returning an item with FedEx you have to pay to have them pick it up if you don't have a drop close by. Not worth it!

Selling, is actually pretty disappointing. You really need to keep track of what you send in, because it doesn't always get on your account to be priced when it should. I think there seller fees are a bit high, and their SureSell is a joke! I don't know where they pull there offers from, but its obviously to help coat their pockets more than ours. Many of my items, name brand, new, excellent condition, etc I only received ridiculous offers from swap themselves. I'm talking like. 14¢ and 24¢. It comes out to less than 5% of what I had it priced at. I'm tired of having to deal with it all. I am waiting for the rest of my items to go to sure sell and collect my fimes from them and be done! I will not be selling through them anymore.

So far I've had a 99% positive experience with Swap.com. Great prices for excellent clothing, and I love that I can trade Pokemon cards for my grandson for an outfit somebody wants from me! My only negative experience was having clothes that were new with tags rejected. In some instances I did see something I hadn't seen before (they mark them with a sticky dot), but a couple of other items I never knew why they were rejected. So I sent them back again with my next box of clothing and this time they were accepted. Hmmmm, that was a little strange. But considering how many clothes they deal with each day, I'm surprised more mistakes don't happen. I've only had one wrong item sent to me in over a year of doing business with them, and they immediately refunded me $5 for the item I didn't receive, and let me keep the other one. The clothing comes wrapped nicely in plastic bags, so it has a "real" shopping feel to the experience, and the shipping is always very fast. I have many good things to say about Swap.com, and highly recommend it to anyone.

Whats so hard to put return label inside the box
Why does your company like wasting people time and money
You don't give back people they credit
In the same form, they bought when returning the item
People work hard for their money and choose to invest in your goods
Don't take people for granted
