You may have been hearing about this little site called
Swapdom around the web lately. It's a really fun concept, and I'm pretty pumped to be a part of it. Basically, you take a picture of a piece of like- new clothing (or an accessory) that was probably already sitting in your donate/IG flash sale pile and upload it to the site. Then you browse around the site and find items that you would like to swap for. It's like trading clothes with your pals, except you get to scope out the good stuff from your home. On your computer. (Maybe even) In your bed. I'm into that.
There. This probably explains things a little better than I can. Swapdom arranges the swaps and all you are responsible for is the shipping part. When you join the site, your first swap is on them, meaning they will cover the shipping costs. I've uploaded my items and I'm looking forward to my first swap!
Swapdom is still in beta right now, but if you want to join, you can
bypass the wait with this link. I hope you'll join me over there-- I have a huge bag of clothes I was saving for an IG flash sale, but I'll definitely be posting a lot of them over on Swapdom! Maybe we can swap goodies!

I'm a little confused about the 'like new' -- does that mean they have to still have tags on them, or just be in pristine condition?
ReplyDeleteNot at all! I think it just means good quality (i.e.: no major rips, stains, etc) I will be listing vintage, too, and those pieces definitely don't have tags!
DeleteThis is so cool! What a great concept... maybe I'll actually get around to cleaning out my closet now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, usually when things say "like new" it just means the clothes still need to be in really good condition.
ReplyDeletei'm so excited to try this!! Just created my profile. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't be giving anything white or cream away would you ??! I am getting marriednandyour style is my favorite; you're basically my fashion icon. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! This is awesome. I'm kind of amazed that something like this wasn't created sooner. What a great way to feel like you're getting new clothes without breaking the budget. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I totally agree!
DeleteJust created my account, only to realize they don't offer this to Canadians. :( But I have so much to swap!
ReplyDelete:((
DeleteThough we're US only now, we plan to expand in the future. Since you already made an account, you'll get an email from Swapdom when we're ready for swapping in Canada.

This is so perfect for my point in life right now. Thank you so much for pointing it out to me! I look forward to getting involved in this goodness!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! -Hanna Lei
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that they include Canada soon! I got all the way to adding my address before they let me know I wasn't eligible. Fingers crossed and thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a bummer! Hopefully it's coming soon!
DeleteWow this sounds great! Thanks for letting us know about it. :) I'll definitely be signing up.

Yeah I seem to be seeing Swapdom everywhere these days - i guess I am waiting for someone to try it out and tell me if it was an easy process!
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know as soon as I do my first swap!
DeleteVery cool! Signing up now. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIsn't Swapdom so much fun? I just did my first swap and I'm stoked, to say the least. Super excited to see you on there!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! I must do this!!!

I'm in the midst of completing 4 swaps right now. It's buggy (warning!) as it's still in beta, but overall fun. Two of my swaps were delivered to their new homes today, and one will be delivered tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, I think it's sort of a toss-up on whether this is better, or if doing a local resale shop is. I think it really boils down to the shipping cost of some things.
