After confirmation, your payment is securely processed. For added protection, your payment information is stored by our secure third-party payment platform until 48 hours after the garment's return, ensuring safety for both buyers and lenders.
4. Receive Rental
If you are receiving the item via shipment, the lender will provide tracking details. Should the garment not fit or any issues arise, file a claim within 24 hours of receipt. On the final rental day, repackage the garment and use the provided return label for shipping. Don't forget to share your experience and leave a review!
How To Lend
How to post your clothes for others to rent
Post New Listing1. Post a new listing
Initiate a detailed listing by:
- Including all requested garment details and any pre-existing damage or modifications.
- Providing photos of you in the garment and clear images of the item, emphasizing the condition.
- Composing a comprehensive description including relevant information, such as the original item cost.
- Note the pricing is by day, but we require a 4-day minimum for bookings. We recommend including the pricing for 7 day and 2 weeks in the description.
- Avoid providing your personal address; instead, offer a location where you're comfortable meeting for in-person pickup with the renter.
2. Review Requests
Upon receiving a request for your item, you'll be notified via email and can discuss the rental through our chat feature. You have the option to accept or decline requests. If a renter seeks adjusted pricing for longer term rentals, modify the item's daily rate, prompting them to re-request the item. Once accepted, revert the item price to its original listing.
3. Send Rental
If shipping the rental, dispatch the item to arrive either on the day before or on the rental start date. Include a return label in the package for the renter's convenience. Refer to our shipping guide below for assistance:
Shipping Guide4. Receive, Clean and Repeat Rental

Should any concerns arise regarding the garment's condition upon return, first, communicate with the renter to resolve the issue.
