Returns and Exchanges Policy

At Shop Tomorrows, it is important that you are 100% satisfied with your experience in our community. Please note, all Shop Tomorrows' orders are final sale except in the situations below, in which case we will look to make the situation right by refunding your Tokens if necessary. Items are never returned to the seller. We encourage you to pass the item forward to an individual or to donate responsibly to a local organization. Please read here for our suggested list of charitable organizations that accept clothing.

A member in good standing is eligible for a Tokens' refund upon review if he or she has experienced any of the following complications:

1. Did not receive item

Include details about this flaw in the product listing details and photograph it. And here's the litmus test. Ask yourself: Would I be proud to pass these items forward? If the answer is no, consider alternatives. Remember, clothing is not trash. See Tomorrows for Good for responsible recycle and donation resources to close the loop on passing-it-forward.

Care of Items

For the sake of others' health and safety (and as a general courtesy), always wash your items before delivering them to the buyer. This is the Shop Tomorrows' standard and applies at all times. As a buyer, we always encourage you to clean any item when you receive it. Learn about the guidelines from the CDC on cleaning and disinfecting products.

Additional Protocols

We recommend following the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for how to stay healthy and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 while buying and selling. When buying and selling during this time, please follow local guidelines on physical distancing and wearing masks. Be well, stay healthy, and wear an mask :)

When delivering or picking up items, is there anything I should keep in mind?

In the event the item or items are being delivered in person, Shop Tomorrows recommends proceeding with caution. We suggest arranging your meeting in a public, well-lit location with video surveillance. Additionally, if you’re meeting a Buyer or Seller for the first time, we recommend you bring another individual with you to the meeting location, as you will likely be more comfortable interacting with the other party with a familiar individual with you.

Covid-19 Update

Your health and well-being are important to us. Even without Covid-19, we would suggest following safety protocols regarding items purchased from our community or from any other source.

What do “1st, 2nd 3rd

Think of this like a LinkedIn feature, where we let you know when you're connected to someone through the site either directly, or through friends. Cool, right?

How are tokens used?

We use tokens so that you can get the greatest value out of your sale. Using tokens creates a one-for-one exchange where you are getting the full value of your item. For example, on Shop Tomorrows, you can sell an outgrown vest and get a new one in return with the tokens you made from that sale. Compare that to a consignment store or site in which you would get just a few dollars back - not enough to buy you another vest that fits, let alone coffee! Using tokens allows you to maintain the entire value of your sale rather than lose the majority of it to the website or store’s steep commissions, typical of those other guys.

And how many Tomorrows Tokens should I post my item for?

$1 Tomorrows Token = $1, so list your item for the amount you’d want to make in dollars. For example, if you were to sell a vest and wanted $30 for it, sell it for 30 tokens. We also help you determine how much to price something for when you’re listing an item. As you enter the price, you’ll see a window in which Shop Tomorrows suggests the percentage of the retail price that you should list for based on Brand, Condition and Category type. 

When do I get my tokens for a shipped order?

When the order is marked as received by the buyer, the tokens will be credited to your wallet. 

Why haven’t my tokens appeared yet? How many days before they will appear?

When the order is marked as received by the buyer, the tokens will be credited to your wallet. For a meetup order, the system will automatically mark the order as delivered/completed after 2 days of the placed order. For a shipped order, the system will automatically mark the order as delivered/completed after 7 days of the placed order.
