NEW FLAT SHIPPING RATES from $5.95
We Heard You: Simpler, Fairer Shipping Is Finally Here 🤍
From the very beginning, Little Swaps has been about listening to moms - not just building another resale platform.
And one thing we kept hearing again and again was this:
“I love the idea… but shipping kills it.”
When moms wanted to sell or buy nationally, shipping often felt like the biggest downer. It made great deals feel not so great. It slowed sellers down. And sometimes, it stopped transactions from happening altogether.
So we did what we always do at Little Swaps - we listened.
We spoke directly with moms across the platform.
We interviewed sellers.
We reviewed real transactions.
We looked at where shipping felt unfair, unpredictable, or just plain annoying.
And after a lot of work behind the scenes, we’re really excited to say:
Flat-Rate Shipping Is Here 🎉
-No more guessing.
-No more surprise costs.
-No more “this is more expensive than the item” moments.
We’ve officially lowered shipping costs and introduced simple flat rates based on item size, starting at just $5.95.
How It Works
Instead of confusing weight calculations or distance-based pricing, shipping is now based on six clear size categories. Each one has a flat price, so buyers and sellers know exactly what to expect before checkout.
Here’s the breakdown:
X-Small: $5.95
Small: $9.50
Medium: $13.75
Large: $19.50
X-Large: $28.00
XX-Large: $45.00
(Yes — these are real flat rates. No zones. No surprises.)
Why This Matters
We know moms are practical. If something feels complicated, expensive, or unclear — it’s a no.
This update means:
Sellers can price with confidence
Buyers can shop nationally without hesitation
More great items get a second life instead of sitting in bins
The platform works with you, not against you
It also helps us stay true to our mission:
👉 Making secondhand the first option — without the friction.
What’s Next
This is a big step, but not the last one. We’ll continue improving the experience based on how real families actually use Little Swaps - locally and nationally.
As always, keep the feedback coming.
We’re building this with you 🤍
