  • What types of clothes are uploaded to Swapped?
    Worn an item to an event or on a night out and no longer have any use for it? Swapped is the perfect platform for you as we focus on swapping preloved occasion items which have had minimal wear.
  • How long does the free trial on the platform last for?

  • How does swapping clothes help to save the planet?
    In the UK alone, we send over 300,000 tonnes of clothes to landfills each year which is almost the equivalent weight of the Empire State building! By swapping clothes it means that we can significantly reduce this number as clothes stay in circulation for longer and their lifetimes are extended. Swapped helps us to change our buying habits and look great without it being at the expense of the planet :)
  • What is Swapped?
    Swapped is a circular fashion app that allows users to swap their preloved occasion items by swiping left and right! Our mission is to drastically decrease the 92 million tonnes of clothes (one truck every second) that go to landfill each year by making swapping the new norm! We're helping you consume clothing in a more conscious way, save money and look great whilst doing so!
  • What makes you different from other apps?
    Swapped focuses on marrying affordability with circularity so instead of you constantly buying new items, we replace that with an affordable monthly subscription - starting from as little as £4.99 a month - and all you have to do is pay delivery! We also incorporate fun into the app through the swiping left and right element of all preloved items :)
  • How much is a subscription?
    After your free trial you can upgrade to one of our paid subscriptions: 5 swaps - £4.99/month 10 swaps - £9.99/month 15 swaps - £14.99/month
  • How do I package my item?
    Congratulations on making a swap! You can use a mailer bag and ship it off to your desired courier/post-office.
  • I've seen a swap I like - can I save it for later?
    Yes, you can do this by clicking the "heart" icon on the home page - don't wait too long though as another user may swap it! Happy Swapping :)
  • Why do I need to list the price of items?
    Listing the original price of the item that you are uploading allows both parties to decide what is a fair swap - ensuring that both items are of equal value.
  • Can I send bundles of items?
    This feature is not currently avaliable on the app. If you would like more swaps you can upgarde your plan in order to send and recieve more swaps.

  • Do I have to pay for my swaps?
    No, we eliminate the need for you to consistently be buying individual items and replace that with a monthly subscription service + delivery costs for each swap. When you download Swapped you will have a free-trial of the app, make a match and pay delivery to receive your swap. You will then have the option to sign up to one of our subscription plans: - 5 swaps: £4.99/month - 10 swaps: £9.99/month - 15 swaps: £14.99/month To reiterate, there is no exchange of money on the app. You pay for a monthly subscription and cover your delivery fees.
