Swap use to be a decent site to sell things you sent to them. But it was wonderful when I first went boxes in. But little by little things got worst. What they charge you to ship a box went up. Picky that they would only pay by using fedex. The layout use to be decent and I could price my stuff my self. Well that has changed and they price the stuff and the pay is real low now. Plus it takes forever for them to process your items. No more as it is a rip off now. Went from a great place to a bit disappointment in only 2 years. Stay away! I just got 60 cents for a shirt.
If you are looking to make some cash selling your clothing and items, do not use swap. They have made some major changes since their early days that result in this site being nothing worse than a time waster and a headache. You are better off throwing your clothing in your trash then sending it to them. When SWAP started out it was a great site. You could set your own prices. They did not take very long to post the items. You could make a little cash on the side. Now it takes them months to even get to your box. 2. You can no longer price your items, and I have had some of my items sit in queue for over 25 days. I sent these items in May/June and were mostly summer seasonal clothing. We are now nearing December and some items are yet to be priced. 3. Their pricing matrix is way off. As a buyer I would not buy the items at the prices. As someone who has sold on ebay in the past, the prices are ridiculous (and I am trying to make a little cash here). 4. Oddly too when they reject an item they show you a photo of a bundled up fabric and it is really uncertain if that is something I even sent them or some cryptic way to sell my "rejected" items without me knowing. This place should really go out of business. All the things that made Swap great are no longer part of their business practice. What a shame.
They will now price the items you send to them. I sent them a very expensive skirt and they sold it for $12! If they had informed me of the policy change I would have told them to ship all of my items back. DO NOT send them anything to sell unless you don't care how much you receive for your items.
I do NOT recommend doing business with Swap.com. First, I sent in a box of clothes that took them over 2 months to process. Once they did post my items on their website, some of my items were missing. Realizing they were shady and that their payment structure was a rip off, I requested all my items get sent back to me. They never notified me that any of my missing items had actually been rejected and never offered me the option to get them back. By the time they realized what had happened, they had already donated my clothes. Basically, this company stole from me. I hope they go out of business so others don't get ripped off like me. STAY AWAY.
I ordered an item 14 days ago. It shipped out right away. Everything seemed fine until the tracking information stopped just days into the process. I contacted customer service. 2 days waiting and still no reply concerning my item, if it's on the way, lost, or what. I am definitely not happy right now. If someone asked me about this site I would NOT recommend it at this time. Hoping to receive my item...
I made an order on a tuesday morning. I just tracked the shipping and fed x just now picked it up from the swap facility an entire week later! Seriously annoying. My order better be right. Something tells me i just screwed myself and i would have been better off buying new clothes. I feel like i totally made a mistake and just tossed 100$ out the window
Continuing from my last review... they now have a must have 80% acceptance box rate (i. E. If you send in 10 items, 8 items must be accepted. If you have 7 items or less accepted. They will charge you a fee. I guess they have too many boxes being sent to them and this is how they are trimming down their intake volume. So not worth the time or energy. Your better off selling on other sites.
Swap auto-listed and sold my $600 suit for $8.40. Eight dollars and 40 cents! Swap used to be good for sellers to get a decent cut for nice, good condition items. You could also custom price your clothes, say if they were 100% cashmere or rarer items. Now they auto price things without the seller's permission and sell them at whatever price their algorithm produces. I tried to get them to take down my listings that were grossly underpriced and they didn't! I sent the box in 3 months ago having no idea they would screw me over like this! Sellers will inevitably leave when treated so poorly!
Up until recently, Swap.com was a great site. It has gone completely down hill. They are taking 3 months or longer to process items. Their quality control measures are completely arbitrary. They've rejected items I've sent in that were brand new and still had the tags on it or listed them as "fair condition." It's impossible to get anything more than a canned response. STAY AWAY.
Up until a few months ago Swap was a great site for sellers. It is AWFUL now. They are taking 3-4 months to process items sent in therefore summer clothes sent in at the beginning of the season are not getting online until fall! They have also Drastically cut the payout percentages to sellers from 70% to 30%. They used to give preference to frequent sellers by processing their boxes quickly but they cancelled that to. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THEM
I have shopped many online stores that offer used items. Swap.com is the winner. With honest ratings of items condition, incredibly affordable prices and a great return policy, Swap.com is my go-to store for clothing.
If your family and friends sign up under your link, you get $20 when they shop! I am readying our home for an expected baby so, instead of a huge shower, I am asking friends to sign up and purchase the gift from swap.com. Then, I use the credit I receive from Swap from their purchase for the items we need for the upcoming bundle of joy. That is just one way to make this site work wonders for you! And then, hopefully, the friends will continue to shop and bless swap.com with their business. Swap deserves it!
Oh! And let's talk customer service. If something you purchase does not fit or is not up to quality standards, ship it back for a refund. AMAZING! I have been a customer for a few months and am totally sold on them.
UPDATE: After uploading my items to the site it took them an additional 10 DAYS to price my items. Previously pricing was instantaneous. (Sellers can't set individual prices now; we have to use Swap's algorithm and are at their mercy.)
I've sent 4 boxes to Swap.com over the last 4 years. At first, the process was quick and the compensation fair. But numerous changes over the last 18-24 months have soured me on ever selling through swap again. The compensation has gone down dramatically, the acceptance criteria is randomly applied and the processing time for each box has gone from less than 30 days to over 75 for my latest shipment (sent June 2017). It's clear they can't handle the volume of clothes they receive, even after they upgraded to a larger facility last year. Bottom line, if you're selling designer women's wear, send it to Swap. If not, they don't want it - their price structure and customer service prove it. It's a good business move for an overwhelmed company, but a bad move for me. Back to craigslist I go...
Everything that I have purchased has surprised me by being even nicer than the pictures could show. I shopped the first time for clothes for me and this time a load for my granddaughter. Definitely will be a frequent shopper.
Re: order #*******191-******* Received my order in a very timely fashion and was so very pleased. Item was in excellent condition and color was actually more impressive than expected. Fit was perfect! Thank you :)
Found this place on line, so I decided to try it, cuz I get into the free delivery! It was awesome because I not only got free shipping the first time. But the clothes I bought were in terrific shape. Great place to shop, some items even had tags on them. My husband is a pretty big guy, got all name brand jeans for him for under 7.00..
Swap.com offers the best in on-line shopping for me. User friendly, always quick delivery and an easy return policy for the items that don't fit or just wasn't what I wanted! This is a great alternative to NOT going out and trying on clothes in stuffy dressing rooms or having to interact with store personnel, shoulder to shoulder clothes racks, and other harried shoppers. I love it! (As I sit in my p. J.'s with a cup of hot coffee)
I have purchased many items from SWAP.COM and have had to return some, for various reasons. Their return policy is like NO OTHER. Just print out the label. And it was gone. I love the savings on kids clothes. They grow way too fast to buy expensive cloths and wear them less than a yr. THANKS SWAP.COM LOVE YOU
I purchased a JJill dress that looked prisitine from the photograph. I purchased and when received garment was extensively pilled, scruffy, washed out, and fabric no longer supple- all indications of a garment at the end of its life. I extensively buy JJill items for their quality, but eventually even quality garments reach end of life- this garment was NOT appropriate for resale at any price.
You get what you see, quality name brand products at great prices! Every item that I have ordered has shipped on time and is always packaged great! Swap.com, keep up the good work!
If ur rating is lower then 4stars u don't have taste. Swaps simply awesome if I don't like I simply exchange or return for no extra cost
Answer: I have only placed one order so far. I ordered 10 blouses. I returned 5, due to size issues. All 10 blouses were nice, but 5 did not fit quite right due to different manufacturer's. You need to get an RMA # for returns. I was promptly refunded my money for the 5 blouses. I would order again in the future. I am not aware of any return quantity restrictions. Hope this helps.
Answer: If you want to sell clothes, all the information is on their website. Basically, they get a percentage and then they pay you thru an existing PayPal account that you set up.
Answer: Hi Patricia, We are on about a 55-60 day delay in processing inbound shipments. When your items are processed, you will be notified via email that they are ready to be priced. Have you sent an email to our support team at [email protected] yet? A member of our team can look up your account information and give you a better idea of exact when you can expect to see your items. Thank you, Lauren Swap.com Support Manager
Answer: Same here, I sent a box in June and have received nothing nothing saying it was accepted or rejected absolutely nothing. I've sent 5 emails and nothing. I will be contacting the better business bureau as well.
Answer: I don't think so. I've sold and from my experience it varies. The things that I thought would sell first, haven't sold yet. It varies by what people are looking for at the time. I've bought all different seasons at random times. I buy by what's a great deal. When selling, group like items together. I've noticed multiple things sell first.
Answer: Hi Jo, That is correct. You can return items that do not fit as long as you request the return within 30 days. We will send you a pre-paid UPS shipping label to send back your return free of charge. Once the return is received, we will refund your card within five (5) business days. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. We are happy to help! Best, Matt
Answer: There's no way for them to go over prices. They have to see the items and determine from going over it, if it's acceptable, once it's accepted, then you have to determine the price you want to sell it for. You could try searching on their site for similar items and see what they are priced at. I did notice when pricing my items that I'd get a little notice with recommended prices, which was very helpful. I didn't have a good experience selling but many others have. Make sure you take pictures of your items, that's very important. I appreciated that their site is set up to allow you to take back your items if you changed your mind about selling them. I'm in the process of getting back my items. Hopefully it works out well and I get all my items back.
