Buy less, trade more.
Trading your children's clothing allows you to use the value of the items you already own as your buying power.

How To Swoondle
Request a Trade-in Bag
Sign up to get your first prepaid, reusable shipping bag
Send Us Your Stuff
Fill your bag with your kid's outgrown clothes and pop it in the mail.
We Process & Credit
We do all of the work processing and valuing your items. Each accepted item will be assigned a Level 1 - Level 5.
Shop for what you Want
Your membership activates when your items are processed (or if you place an order). Items in the shop can be purchased for cash or "traded out" for 1 trade credit.
The Swoondle Difference
With other programs, you send/sell your items and you receive a very small cash payment (as little as 5% off the sale price!) - never enough to even buy back the item you just sold!

The Swoondle Value
Trading Level
Each item you send in is processed by the Swoondle team and given a "trading level" value (Level 1-Level 5).
Like-for-like
You can then use that trade value to shop for an item of the same trade value "like-for-like". For example, you send in a Level 2 item, you order a Level 2 even swap!
Save up!
The Swoondle membership allows for 5 even trades a month, but you can buy more, trade more for just $4 an item. You can also carry-over up to 15 unused trades to "save up" for seasonal ordering.
Perfect Match
You can order any size, season and gender of item so long as it's the same level.
Member Perks
Shop by Trading
Pay with your child’s outgrown clothes instead of cash. Member trade balances never expire.
Discount
You can then use that trade value to shop for an item of the same trade value-"like-for-like". For example, you send in a Level 2 item, you order a Level 2 even swap!
Closet-friendly trade-out bag
Hang our reusable bag in your kid's closet to collect the clothes they outgrow. When it's full just zip it and ship it!

A Few More Suggestions
The better the items you send in, the better the items you'll get to take!
Send freshly washed and dried items ONLY!
About 50% of items with condition issues would’ve been resolved with a fresh wash.
Onesies, leggings, sleepers, t-shirts
(especially those 0-24 months) will likely be given partial credit. 5 items = 1 Level 1.
Baby clothing must be in excellent condition
To be included as a trade or grab bag. We receive thousands of Carter’s 0-24 month “outfits”. These will likely receive partial credit.
Adult Clothing will be donated.
We accept children’s clothing sizes infant through children’s size 16.
Don’t send smelly clothes
If there is any trace of smokey smell the entire bag will be recycled/donated.
+5 years old
If the item is dated - more than 5 years old - it’s value/Level will likely be impacted. Styles change and so does the demand for these items.
