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.

Love swap.com, It has now rivaled Nordstrom and Macy's for great finds of my favorite brands at amazing prices, new with the tags. It's a sale every day!
I couldn't be more pleased with the clothing, prices, and customer service of Swap.com. Most everything I've purchased has looked practically brand new.
I've shopped at Swap.com for many years now. Not once when I've return items has there EVER been any problems except this last time. Despite returning all the items I selected to return, two items were marked as "not included in package" and I was not refunded about $20. NO action on the part of customer service was even attempted to see if the items had been mixed up or lost in the return process. I have had some items I bough not included in my packages before, and the facility still managed to track them down and send them to me, so it's clear that finding items is possible, but clearly this case didn't mean much to the customer service representative I emailed. Additionally, this representative couldn't even take the time of day to read my message correctly the first time. I love the clothes at Swap. They're great and having the security of being able to return items is always nice. But this escapade was unbelievable. If you continue to buy from them and make returns, TAKE PHOTO EVIDENCE of all your items before sending them off or return each item SEPARATELY so they don't misplace them somehow. Planning to spend my remaining store credit and leave this site—the clothes are amazing but apparently the facility has gone downhill and savings aren't worth losing $20 for nothing.
I wish I would have listened to all the bad reviews. This is definitely a scam. But y'all won't get over on me again.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site. Listen to the bad reviews they not lying... It's a scam 100%

I never got them. They never replied to my email. Can't get in touch with anyone on the phone... Also I found the address on my bank account and looked the address up on Google... And called and was told that address wasn't swap.com address. This is a scam. And I'm going to get my money back one way or another. Y'all stealing from the wrong one.
I was very please with my order and how fast it came i like that each item is wrap in its own lil bag
Tip for consumers:
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have shopped and sold with swap.com for years. This year I went to send a box in April and the inbound link was gone. When I called they gave the excuse of being bombarded with too many boxes the last time the link was active, this isn't true since they only have a limited amount of labels you can print before that link disappears like it has in previous years. Then I heard about the class action lawsuit... that cant be helping. Now I get daily alerts of new items from Swap and there used to me almost 200 items a day being uploaded, now I see only 1/4 of that. Also when I called 1 1/2 months ago, they told me they were backlogged and only working on the end of March... ok, but if they stopped taking inbound in the middle of April... wouldn't they be running out of boxes and hence the very few uploaded items I see today. And yet the link is still inactive. Something is not right and I am uncomfortable enough that anything that was worth real money I asked for back, and received... but I feel like they are going out of business and they aren't being forthcoming about it. I used to love them... now, I'm cautious to even buy from them and have to make sure I ship anything I buy asap in case they close their doors and my clothes are stuck where I cannot get them.
If you're a seller this place is HORRIBLE. I paid $17.99 to send a huge box of clothes to them to sell. THREE MONTHS later, I get an email that says my stuff is ready and 95% of it was rejected. 92% of the 95% was baby stuff that wasn't ever worn. So they're like, we'll donate it! I paid $11.99 to have it all sent back and when I got it I was LIVID. They rejected stuff because of a piece of lint on the clothing. They rejected three baby's pants because the applique had been folded. They rejected stuff because of a slight fabric discoloration that occurs IN EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING. When I asked them about it, they told me they have a very rigorous process and it has to be perfect. I'm sorry - you're consignment. Nothing's perfect. It's all second hand. Sometimes third hand. There was a never worn, brand new, Carter's baby furry suit they rejected because one piece of the fur didn't look right. They sent me stuff back with red frown face stickers on the parts they thought were damaged. And then the stuff they accepted... When it sells for $5, I get $2. When it sells for $3, I get 60 cents. When it sells for $4, I get 80 cents. This whole process is an absolute joke and they make a KILLING off the seller's items. They are shady, scammy, and downright awful.
I HAVE DEALT WITH "SWAP.COM" MANY TIMES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR SERVICE OR THEIR MERCHANDISE AND I DEAL WITH THEM FREQUENTLY. CHILDRENS CLOTHING AND TOYS, ARE NEW OR GENTLY USED. THERE ARE ABOUT 5 CATAGORIES TO CHOOSE FROM AND THE PRICES ARE TERRIFIC! IN THIS SLUMPING ECONOMY ITS REALLY A GREAT HELP TO BE ABLE TO GET TOYS AND CLOTHING SO CHEAP. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK TO A REAL PERSON IF THERE IS A PROBLEM. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT THIS COMPANY. I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND IT. GREAT FOR PARENTS ON A BUDGET. CAROLANN AUFIERO
After another phone call to SWAP, they agreed to send payment to my PayPal account for the value of the item as if it was sold. They never located it.
I sent a total of 3 separate boxes within about a 5-6 month time period. The first box had a few rejected items but they sent good pictures of them to see exactly what. The second box I was more careful. Still had a pretty surprising rejection rate after it was processed. The pics they sent this time were hard to make out exactly what was rejected. Just had the stuff in a pile. Before the items were processed, I had sent my 3rd box. Those items were processed about a week ago. Was shocked at the rejection rate. Again, pics of stuff in a pile. Knowing that the final box had a really expensive item, was figuring that once it sold I'd be done. The item was a men's black leather bomber jacket that was practically new. Worn maybe 3 times. It was never added to my items to be sold. It seems to have been lost or maybe stolen. I have made 2 attempts to get a straight answer about the jacket. They are not replying to my emails as they had in the past over other issues. I'm really pissed. I will never buy or sell with them in the future. I suggest you take a few pictures of the stuff you send.
A couple years ago, I wrote a review about my great experience selling with swap.com. Later, I edited that review to drop a star because they seemed to be declining as far as customer service and turnaround time. Now, I'm sad to say that I can no longer recommend swap.com because they're dramatically increasing their fees and it's no longer worth it.
Now it costs a flat $11.90 just to send them a box, and the box size allowed has gotten much smaller. Wait 60+ days. Once they actually look at your box, they might reject most of your items. It depends heavily on which employee sorts them. I've sent in boxes of equal quality every time, and sometimes 95% is accepted, sometimes closer to 40%. Once you get everything posted up for sale, they take 30% PLUS $1.50. So if you want to sell a kid's t-shirt for $3.00, expect to make 60 cents. And you'll never actually see that 60 cents because it gets sucked up with the inbound service fee.
So, basically, if you decide to sell with swap.com, you'll be wasting your time to make pennies. It might be worth it if you're selling expensive items, but probably not because that stuff doesn't sell very well so it will just sit there. And swap.com is now saying they have the right to change the price of your items to whatever they want if they sit on the site too long. So, good luck with that.
It's really a shame, because this site was great for a couple years. Now I'll be participating in my local consignment sale instead, because I can make a lot more that way.
If you are a buyer and have store credit (which is the only thing you can get for returns,) I suggest using it soon, because once sellers catch on to the fact that they can't make any money, they'll stop selling. Then swap.com will have to close and you won't be able to use that credit anymore. I give it a year.
I attached a photo to show you what it looks like when they reject items. They encourage you to "donate" this stuff (to who knows where.) If you request to have it sent back to you, it comes in a big tangled ball.
Tip for consumers:
Buying is okay as long as you don't plan on returning anything. Don't sell unless you really need the 50 cents.
I don't know why or how this company is still in business. If your going to bother to run a company do it to your fullest. You could make up in volume what you loose in low pricing.
The web site is atrocious. They don't press the clothing that looks like it's been waded up into a ball for the last year. You can not tell what it looks like when it's that bad.
They often have the buttons buttoned in the wrong holes so it's hanging wrong. Thread strings handing down. White clothing on bright white background so you can't see it completely. Often times they don't say what color the item is. We all know every monitor is capable of showing a completely different collor. They never when it is labeled expand on the color as in what shade of green red blue etc. most times when they list the condition of the item it has a big question mark behind it. What? You don't want to say the truith for fear it won't be bought?
If your retail experienced you know what the condition of a garment is. Commit to it.
The photos of the shoes are awful. Two views and neither is of a look front or from the back. That can have effect on the look and style of a shoe entirely.
The fact it can be returned is irrelevant when it's an inconvenience. And these things are fixable. They just aren't. I want to know what I'm buying when I buy it to the best of my ability online. This company with its lack of effort cripples that ability.
I won't be back. Id much rather pay a higher to full price than play a guessing game.
You can't make money being lazy. Hire people to help. You must spend money to make money.
Be prepared to wait FOREVER, months, for delivery and even longer for return refunds. Products themselves are generally good and true to descriptions, sizing can be an issue however.
Tip for consumers:
Good for everyone looking for a bargain, better for those who know quality brand names and are familiar with brands that fit otherwise it takes forever to get a return refund. Note refunds are only in the form of Swap STORE CREDITS, no refund is given for return shipping unless item is damaged or "not as described".. WAIT TIMES are forever for everything, delivery, return credits and customer service responses.

Blazers and pants
My original order had 5 items but one item must not have been available and a partial return on my order for this one item was given.
I received 4 pair of pants, all of which were supposed to be size 24. Only 1 pair was the correct size. One pair of pants was XS - Waist 24-25 inch, NOT SIZE 24. The 2nd was a pair of jeans which were 24 x 33 inch, NOT SIZE 24.
The 3rd pair of pants was brand denim 24/7, size 16W, NOT SIZE 24. All of these sizes were on tags on each pair of pants.
I wanted to return these 3 items due to the incorrect size from what was stated on their website, but because of the partial refund they had issued for an item that was unavailable, it would not allow me to get to their return portal. Also, the only contact is to send an email, which so far, has not been answered.
This is not the first time they have sent items that are not as stated on their website, but they wouldn't let me return or receive a refund for them. This is the last time I will order from Swap.com.
Tip for consumers:
They don't even need to put a contact option since they don't respond.

I used to sing the praises of Swap.com. I told friends and strangers what a great site Swap was. "Great clothes. Great deals." Then Swap had to change platforms to make my shopping experience "more enjoyable." Swap missed that mark by a long shot. Filtering items is not as precise as it used to be. With the new platform, we cannot filter by material type. I am allergic to a lot of synthetic fibers. I am no longer able to specify wool, cotton, silk... in my searches for items. Which means that I am wasting a lot of time looking at clothes that I cannot purchase and wear.
Since the platform change, I have placed 2 orders. The first order was supposed to have two pairs of gray pants. When I got the order, one pair was jet black and the other was navy blue. These were "final sale" items, which means I cannot return them. So now I am stuck with 2 pair of pants that I would not have ordered if the color had been correctly labelled. The pictured items were gray in color. Yet I got black and navy blue -- which are not my colors. What happened to the gray pants?!
The second order I placed had two items missing. Yet my credit card has been charged for the total order of 3 items plus shipping. I have emailed customer service but I have not gotten a reply. Before the platform change, customer service replied to emails. Not anymore.
I honestly cannot recommend Swap with the high praise that I used to. It's sad because Swap used to be a great second hand clothing site. I guess I will have to try my luck with ThredUp. Their prices are not as good as Swap's prices but perhaps I will actually receive the items I ordered and was charged for.
I have told so many people about this site! I love being able to find used and new name brand clothes at a great price!
Great looking clothes at amazing prices! Shipping is very reasonable and orders are received in good time. I will continue to shop at Swap!
I have ordered a few times so far and will definitely be back for more! Very pleased! Prices are phenomenal as well as the products!
I don't know how they keep sending me new clothes but that is all I have ever received! Will use them again and tell others!
Every time I have purchased from Swap.com it has been a great experience. The items are just as described and you cannot beat the prices.
I can't get enough of this site! So many "like new" and "new with tags" items to choose from. Huge variety of brands.
I love this site for buying used clothes. Re-using clothing is one way to be environmentally conscious. I highly recommend checking it out.
Purchased several tops and a scrub jacket. Nice to find scrubs in great condition at exceptional prices. Very happy with everything i purchased.
I ordered a pair of shoes and they was brand new love the merchandise. Thanks I definitely will shop again on this website
