A subscription box swaps survey

A lot of My Subscription Addiction readers have expressed interest in having a place to swap subscription box items with other My Subscription Addiction readers, and I'd love your feedback on the best way to make it happen! (I'm so excited about this, and I can't wait to join in on the swapping fun!)

I have some ideas in mind for how it will work, but I'd love to get your feedback first.

If you have swapped subscription box items before, what did you like about it? Didn't like?

Anything you're concerned about that we should factor in to building the swapping section?

Any other feedback?

And I've included a poll question about what items you're most interested in swapping (select all the options that apply):

[yop_poll id="8"]

Lastly, I'd like to test out whatever we build with a small group of people before we launch it site-wide. (This way we can get feedback and make changes based on your suggestions). If you're interested in being in the beta-group of subscription box swappers, let me know in the comments and I'll reach out to you via email!

I would love to participate if there is still a need. I’ve done a lot of trading out of subscription boxes and I’m quick to ship. In the past I’ve learned that there are people who do not understand the need for appropriate packaging and shipping so I would recommend a set standard for shipping. I always package appropriately and ship first class so that they have a tracking#. It ensures the trust in one another and puts everyone at ease that they will definitely be receiving their product soon. Which ultimately makes everyone happy with the trade! I hope to be a participant.
Anxiously Awaiting Your Reply,

I would participate for makeup and pets. We subscribe to Barkbox and a couple of the makeup boxes. I am allergic to several things so I usually just give away stuff. As for Barkbox, I know my dogs won’t use rubber toys at all. So, I have a pile of them in my dining room. It makes me question whether a subscription box is a good value. I would love to swap stuff with others like myself.

karrie h.

yes please! being a part of this would be really awesome!
the only suggestion I have to think about is how shipping will be done? and to exchange shipping information safely?

Liz Cadman

Thanks Karrie! Any suggestions for exchanging shipping info safely? Would you be OK with sending your personal shipping info to the person you’re swapping with if they have a positive feedback score?

Id love to be a part of the beta testing! A lot of my readers have expressed interest about having a place to swap as well and I just haven’t found any system good enough to recommend to them! I think having an understanding about shipping (who pays for what, do the shipping costs just even out) and having a good system so that people are finding and listing items in the right categories.

My only comment is that it might be good to find a way to not allow people to exchange again if they fail to send an item.

I would be interested in being in the beta test. Since subscribing to your blog, I have signed up for a ton of subscriptions and need an outlet to trade excess products for what I will truly use.

Go Irish!

I love this idea and agree with the comment about wanting everything to be sealed for the trading of beauty products. My favorite part of this is that if I can sell nail stuff I don’t want, I might be to afford another subscription!

I am SO in! Since I started reading your blog I’ve subscribed to 5 or 6 boxes and while there (so far) have been only a few items I won’t use, I would love the opportunity to connect with similar minded people and enjoy each other’s “dislikes”.
