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.
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 am on a very limited income. Swap lets me treat myself without hurting my budget :) The site is easy to use, it's easy to sort items and I love the no hassle policy! I highly recommend Swap.com!
Found my favorite brands for a fraction of what they sell for in the store!
I'm Very satisfied, and have been back many times!
Great clothes, in great condition!
Try it, you'll like it!
The items I bought were name brand clothing, they looked brand new and at a fraction of the normal price! I love this site and definitely recommend it. Shipping was really quick as well.
I bought my daughter some kitty leggings for the first time on Swap.com and was very impressed. It was fast, quick and easy. Shipping was great. Prices were fair and I'll use them again.
Swap.com has friendly personnel, timely correspondence, and lots of nice clothes at affordable prices. I buy and sell and typically check the site daily!
Great items an awesome amount of variety and great prices on name brand merchandise. I couldn't be happier andI am a customer for life! Thanks swap.com!
You have been warned... this site is a total scam! I've sold many items in last few months yet my balance is still at 0.00. Wtf? Class action lawsuit please!
Jen@ Swap.com, SHE FORGOT, HORRID CUSTOMER SERVICE! THEY GAVE MY $$$ TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER AND WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK IT UP... KEPT MY CLOTHES FOR SALE AND SENT ME LESS THAN 2.00. AND STILL PUT IT IN SOMEONE ELSES ACCOUNT... LOW DOWN AND DIRTY PEOPLE... YVONNE SUKS THE WORST, BUT JEN IS DELUSIONAL!
I've been a customer for a few years. My negative experiences involved receiving filthy, smelly sneakers and buying a pair of primo Nike running shoes with a 1" hunk of canvas missing from top of the shoe (not shown in ad so I didn't know). Swap customer service agents were good about my returns - only negative was it took too long for the refund. Once I emailed them, they refunded it to my cc. Another disappointment was a black women's cardigan and when I received it, it was a stretched out, enormous mess. I returned it with no problem. The biggest problem I see is clothing is mislabeled. For example, I was looking at rompers, liked the price of one but the photo was of cute ripped jeans. If I buy the "romper," will I receive the jeans? The multiple shoes I've bought- with exception mentioned above - have been incredible! My suggestion would be to include more photos of clothes/shoes labeled "fair" or "good" condition.
Overall, my experience with Swap has been good and I completely understand others' frustration! I can see the changes they've put in place and yes, they have problems which could be resolved with attentive management who are ultimately responsible for a company's success or failure.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid anything in "fair" condition, a couple of times "good" condition items were not but customer service was helpful. Not sure if they're understaffed or experiencing growing pains but shipping time can be excessive. To get results, it's best to be kind. The problem isn't the hourly workers. Swap can be lots of fun and profitable if you're reselling items you bought from Swap on another site.

I was thinking about sending some brand new items to swap. At the time the website said that after a period of time they would buy unsold items from you at 30% of retail. I sent an email asking for more details and was told that they only pay $7 max. I felt like this was deceptive on their part. Why didn't they state this figure directly?
I did end up sending in two boxes, but most of what I sold were cheap used clothes. They did accept a blazer but reject the matching dress (the reason given made it clear they did not realize it was a set). I also had a brand new Trina Turk skirt which they listed as like new (without tags). I made some money, so I can't complain, but I have since decided to stop selling because of a complete overhaul of their system.
First, they will be using their very own special heavily researched practically perfect algorithm to price your items. I am sorry, but no system can consider all the variables. I have seen pricing guidelines on other sites and they are wildly inaccurate. I could understand if they wanted to price your items after a month or two. But right up front?
Also, they are now adding a surcharge to your shipping label cost if they reject 40% or more of your items. Given the potential shipping surcharge, and the fact that they now price items for you, I would probably end up owing money to swap! In my opinion it is not worth the risk. I will just donate to charity!
I've been ordering clothing for a couple of years and overall this company provides nice gently used clothing items and shoes. For the past few months, the deliveries have been delayed and it takes a couple of weeks to get the items through their FED-EX smart post. At the beginning of June, I ordered two items for a vacation (a light jacket and a bathing suit) The items never arrived, but FED-EX showed them as delivered to my house. I was here waiting for the delivery, and we have cameras. NO DELIVERY. It took 2 months and several telephone calls for Swap.com to Credit my account for the items. Fed-Ex smart post provides terrible service... it seems everyone else these days provides photographic proof of delivery. Swap.com follow-up was terrible. The service is going downhill fast. If you have extra time and money go ahead and order from here... but don't be surprised if they send you the wrong item and it takes two weeks to get the package. They do not refund money even if they send the wrong item, they just credit your account. Funny how return shipping only takes about 4 days!
Hello,
We sincerely apologize you have recently had difficulty in receiving your orders. We apologize for the delay in receiving the trace results from the carrier on this order.
Our goal is to make shopping easy, and we apologize you never received the order.
Regarding our return policy, we provide store credit or credit back to the original form of payment based on the reason for return. I've included a link to our return policy here for review:

Again, we apologize for any delays and frustrations.
Sincerely,
Jen -Swap.com
Received email May 12,2022 to expect refund in 10 business days. June 8th, STILL NO CREDIT AVAILABLE after contacting support! Time frame to receive credit back on returns is ridiculous! I just want to use up my credit and be done with this company, never to return.
At first, I found swap.com a good value and easy to use. Free shipping and returns with a refund back to your original payment method. All good EXCEPT they often "lost" returned items and/or just failed to issue the refunds. If you don't watch them like a hawk, they steal your money. Also, on April 28,2016 they secretly changed their terms (in the fine print buried in their website with no notification sent to their existing clients) such that instead of refunding to your original payment method they only offer store credit unless they were at fault (sent you the wrong item or item was inaccurately listed). This enabled them to capture and hold their customers' money instead of refunding it. In my case, this added up to more than $600 as I tended to place an order every week or two before I found out what they were doing. When I asked them to refund they wouldn't. Honestly, I think this is a class action lawsuit kind of a situation. In the meantime, I would say avoid this creepy company.
I am very satisfied with swap.com. Sizes were exact, clothes were in perfect condition. Ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. I will recommend this site to my friends.
swap.com has been wonderful. They have always deliver everything on time. And the quality of service has been great. Its wonderful to know that still companies like this around.
I recently purchased several items for my granddaughter. I was skeptical, but thought what the heck, when the clothing items arrived they were like new. This place rocks. :)
I have ordered from Swap now about five times. We just moved to a rural area that is a summer hotspot for tourists. This means few consignment stores and the kids clothing stores we do have are high end and overpriced. I prefer shopping thrift and consignment, so I started looking around online and found Swap. It's worked fabulous for my family of five. Usually, I order a size up for my kids' clothes to plan for slight shrinkage from the previous user. The clothing shows up as represented. Prices are awesome. I love the option to order $50 and get free shipping: totally worth it! We look forward to our box of clothes which comes quickly, all neatly stored in individual plastic casings. Our clothing budget goes a lot farther by using Swap and I have found fun unique items for myself, my husband and my three kiddos. I've started recommending it online because whenever I find something that works awesome for me, I like to share about it with others. It's even fun together time on the computer when we "Go Shopping" because my kids and I will sit down together to pick out their clothes. I love it. Department stores have lost me forever. :) Keep on being awesome, Swap.
Recently made my first purchase. When it arrived I hade the excitement of not knowing what to expect. Well, it was all better than I expected. Perfect fit and looks new. I am beyond happy!
I used to love this site. It was helpful and reliable. But after my current and ongoing experience, I don't see anything that would make me use or recommend them again. I purchased a number of items in April and had them sent to storage. I was able to ship some to me after they moved in June, putting all shipping on hold for a month at the height of Covid. There were still 5 items that were listed as unavailable. I was told it would take another 30-45 days for those to be available. I waited that time and then checked again in the beginning of October (more than 6 months from my initial purchase when my card was charged" to see if they were able to be shipped and now there is only 1 thing in there. They tell me they are working to "expand capabilities" and the items will not show up "temporarily." That was 2 weeks ago and no one has since reached out to me, No one has offered a refund for my inconvenience let alone to cover the cost for shipping. I am shocked that this company thinks it is acceptable to treat customers like this.
I bought LL Bean, Croft & Barrow, Merona, Van Heusen, Covington, Club Room, Eddie Bauer, and MMA Elite. They were better condition than I even thought. My husband is happy with his polo shirts and I am happy with getting a good deal.
Thanks, Swap.com!
I have 26 high quality items (they passed their stringent acceptance rules, which seem to only apply when you sell items but not when you buy them!) This includes jeans, button up shirts, maybe NWT. They're "generously" offering me $10.71 credit for ALL 26 items! Or I can donate them, or I can have them shipped back to me for $23? Absolutely ridiculous, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH!
I wasn't sure what to expect purchasing from Swap.Com for my first time. I was pleasantly surprised that everything came packed well & the clothes all looked brand new. Will order again for sure.
Ok Swap is changing things again. I have been getting a small check the first week of the month from swap, well I've gotten two and now I get an email that says my payout has been turned into a bill and will be submitted for approval. I have no idea what that means. This is a new thing and the email didn't even come from swap. They are outsourcing their payout is all I can figure out. My account says I have a payout coming of $97 for the last month. I am curious as to what I'll actually get as I'm sure that is before all their fees. My last box I sent in had %57 rejection so I will be penalized for that. I also had my last rejections sent back to me and promptly listed them on ebay and poshmark and several have sold. There was nothing wrong with any of them that I could see. Anyway, don't bother with swap. I just started with poshmark. It's far easier than ebay to list. I don't think I'll ever make a 6 figure income like a lot of youtubbers claim but it is worth my (and your) time. Swap is a total waste of time for reselling. Shoppers probably do ok.
Hello Sharon,
We sincerely apologize for any recent frustrations you've had. Regarding our payout, we have always utilized a third party for payouts. Originally we utilized PayPal to process our payouts, but a little over a year ago we started using Bill.com. To get set up on Bill.com, you will receive an email asking you to set up your payout method. Your payouts can be set up with Bill.com to be an electronic payout to your desired bank account, or it can be a check mailed to you. If you would rather have store credit as your method of payment for items set, that is an option as well.
Anytime a box is sent in, we will deduct the inbound fee from your sales proceeds. This allows you to not have to pay up front to send items in. As we review items for acceptance, we closely follow our Acceptance Criteria to ensure we place the best items on our site for our sellers.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and if you would still like to sell with us, our customer service team would provide you any support and guidance as you pack your box. Our team can be reached at assistance@swap.com or 630-296-0146.
Sincerely,
Jen - Swap.com
I read all the reviews and the comments on a fb page but sent in boxes anyway. I got zero out of the first box because they said I owed for past labels. I sent in another box and received $12 for 32 items. I sent in a couple more before I saw what I got out of the second one. That was dumb as they rejected most of the third and still waiting to see on the fourth. I will have to say that they processed my boxes immediately which NEVER happens. Makes me wonder if anyone is sending anything in. I'm done. I've sold on here too since the beginning. They had a ton of inventory that wasn't selling, I get that so said nothing when i got a few pennies for 300 items. I don't know if what other sellers are saying is true or not, that they are criminals. All I know is I gave them a chance and it's not worth the trouble.
I use to be pleased with this company till last month. I place an order for $ 42 and some cents. To say the least, I only got two of my five items. I sent messages after asking where the rest of my items were. I never got a response back. I am totally DISAPPOINTED. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN!
