Why buy and sell secondhand?

That's a great question! Let us answer this with another — did you know that Australia consumes 1.4 BILLION items of clothing every year?! And that 10% of human-caused emissions can be attributed to fashion? We think it's time that we move from this linear model to a circular one. There are many ways to achieve this, but SwapUp is focused on enabling more people to buy and sell secondhand easily. That's why we created a managed marketplace that does everything for you. We professionally inspect and photograph every item in our store so you only receive high-quality, on-trend thrifted treasures that suit your style. Whether you choose to shop with us or any other platforms, we hope you'd consider buying secondhand so together we can #makesecondhandmainstream with SwapUp!

Do SwapUp run any sales?

Yes we do! We also drop items' prices from time to time. Subscribe to our newsletter below so you're the first to know when it happens :)

What's SwapUp shipping rate?

It's flat rate $11.90 Australia-wide, but we do offer free shipping for orders over certain amount from time to time! Subscribe to our newsletter to get notified :) We aim to ship your order on the next business day — or maximum of three business days after. In the rare occasion when we can't meet this timeline, we'll let you know in the order confirmation email.
