Well from now on it’s your lucky day, every day! We are about to launch WardrobeExchange.com, a fun new site that will allow you to get rid of your unwanted threads and get cool clothing of your choice in return. Best of all, the service is absolutely free! Think of it as a giant swap meet on a global scale (or a free virtual shopping mall).
How does it work?
Step 1: create a free account (AKA your on-line wardrobe) and fill it with pictures and descriptions of your unwanted clothes.
Step 2: browse other people’s wardrobes to find clothing that you’d like to have.
Step 3: confirm your order and wait for your new outfits to arrive.
Come On, Is it really free?
Yes, the service is ABSOLUTLEY FREE. When you upload your unwanted items into your on-line wardrobe, you will assign simple value points to each garment. Those points will then become the “price” for your item. Similarly, when you shop for clothing, you will need points to “purchase” it.
So how do I get points?
That is the best part. As you upload clothing to your on-line wardrobe, you will be given starter points which will allow you to make an immediate “purchase”. You’ll get more points by actively trading items in your wardrobe with other members.
Can I just get things from other members and never trade any of my own clothes?
Well, that’s not going to get you very far. As we mentioned, you will earn points by actively trading. This means that you will need to list and send some of your unwanted clothes to other members in order to maintain an active trading status.
Think of it this way, if you love everything in your real closet and you don’t want to part with any of it, simply get your friends and family to give you some of their unwanted items. Upload those, and start trading.
Besides, if you are an active swapper, you will be getting things all the time which means that you will have plenty of clothes to list (or re-list) on the site when you no longer want to wear them.
Can I put any piece of clothing in my on-line wardrobe?
There are only a few rules about this. Clothes must be clean and free of ANY stains, can’t be torn, or worn to the point they look abused. Other than that, you are free to upload any contemporary or vintage things.
Just keep in mind that in order to be an active trader, it is in your interest to have some desirable items listed in your account. If you have 100 mismatched socks in your on-line wardrobe, it is very likely that no one will want your items and you will not be able to earn any points. We suggest that you only list clothing that you think others may want.
How does the shipping work?
When you assign a value point to your item, you will assign shipping points to it, as well. For example, if you say your jacket is worth 5 points and you add 2 extra points for shipping, you will earn 7 points when someone decides to “buy” that jacket from you. In return, you agree to pay for mailing it knowing that having those 2 shipping points means that you won’t incur any shipping charges when you “buy” a similar item from another member.
I'm really liking this, How do I become a member?
The site will launch in January, however, we are now receiving advance membership requests. If you sign up for our Launch List, we will send you instructions on how to prepare your digital wardrobe listings so that when the site is launched, you’ll be able to start listing and trading immediately. Furthermore, all the members that join prior to official site launch will get some special perks as well (more about that later though).
