I was curious about SwapIt for years, and finally set up a time to go in and swap one item (which…read moreis an option on their website for newcomers who aren't members). How it appears to work is you can "try before you buy" a membership by making an appointment to swap one item. I'm honestly not sure why an appointment is needed because there was no one else in there when I went for my appointment and the person working in the store doesn't give any one on one attention while you shop. (I preferred this but others might want that). I brought in a nice dress for my swap (brand new with tags), and was surprised to see the condition of most of the clothes available. It's on par with Goodwill. Many things were pilly, faded, stretched out, and some just looked out of style. I took photos of the shoes to show an example of the condition of the items. I was hoping for more of a boutique experience with excellent pieces in good or like new condition. Gently worn is fine for secondhand, but a lot of these things had seen better days. I took my item and left. I can't recommend this place based on what I experienced today.

I completely love the concept of this place and have been a member for years. I've been able to get…read morenew work pants when my size has changed, a fancy dress for a special event, or the sweater cardigan that goes with everything. The best part is that if it doesn't work as well outside of the store, I can bring it back and swap for something else next time. SwapIt keeps my wardrobe fresh and allows me to pass along clothes that no longer fit my life to what I know will be a good home. They even participate in textile recycling so I can drop off the sad socks that have not found their mate or my kid's ripped shorts. Saving these items from the landfill and giving me an excuse to check out the jeans rack. Thanks SwapIt

Two separate managers told me "if you don't have the items, you can't switch to another form of payment" and "we don't have a manager by that name." I even told them I couldn't get here sooner before I gave the gift because I was accompanying my wife who was in the hospital for weeks on end. They said, "That's our policy." Every other store just asks for your social security number if you don't have your card and this allows you to make a purchase with your store credit card. I strongly recommend not shopping at TJ Maxx on Middlesex Avenue in Somerville.

Closet Connection is a hidden gem tucked away on Pleasant Street in Malden (with convenient and inexpensive meter street parking!). There is a variety of upscale and high end fashion shoes, clothes, wallets, purses and more to go through! I had the pleasure of having Kristina assist me on one of my first (now favorite) purchases here a couple of months back. The Tory Burch flats were in very good condition at a great affordable price! Following my conversation with her, I started following ccmalden on Instagram and I'm happy I did since I found another great pair of Tory Burch flats to purchase. I saw the post early on in the week and kept my fingers crossed that it would still be available for purchase over the weekend! (I also look forward to the Flat Lay editions every week!) Eddie assisted me this past weekend and he was great-very patient in answering all of my questions, engaged in conversation and helped me lock in a fantastic (and luxurious) deal. The Tory Burch flats I purchased are elegant, fashionably unique and comfortable-all in one! This shop comes highly recommended. Thanks and keep up the great work! read more

One Yelper even commented to me that you "slit your own throat" with replies like the one you left me. Just so we are clear "slit your own throat" is figurative NOT literal, it is a figure of speech. What was meant by that comment is that you give the unsatisfied customers more credibility because of the harsh reply, it makes you look like the bad guy. If you read Help For Business Owners, Yelp gives some practical suggestions to help Business Owners to respond to negative reviews in a tactful way that helps defuse situations such as this one, instead of being threatening. I mean I wouldn't want you to get sued in return, Yelpers are well protected by the 1st Amendment and Anti- slapp legislation. I amended my review and took out the words that offended you because I am a reasonable person. I do not wish anything bad upon you. I am just expressing my opinion, feelings and telling my experience. I hope your business continues to do well and that you learn from experiences such as the one that I had and improve the customer service you give to your con-signers. Maybe that improvement would be something as simple as agreeing upon a set price to sell the consigned item for before taking it for consignment and putting it in writing.

There were fun items and a lot of good stuff, but it seemed like some items were way too pricy to be worth it especially for used or stained items. We didn't really go into the by the pound or mens sections. The costume stuff was a tad on the expensive side. Also, they forgot to remove the security tag from the thing I purchased.

It's quirky, loud and proudly vintage. Everything's sorted with precision: pants with pants, denim with denim, tops with tops. These folks don't play around. And yeah, the majority of the clothing here is all use. But like I always do- I buy my stuff, take it home (or the cleaners), wash it and it snaps back looking like new. By the way- they do carry some new items- as in not used as well. My daughter and I bought some vintage denims, sweaters and a few other things. Zero mess. Zero stress. 100% unexpected.

If you would like to make your business a place to sell high priced items I would recommend cleaning it up and marketing as so. I'm a thriftier and I shop all over, a big chain that marks up like Savers wouldn't even charge these prices! Even Boston consignment shops such as covet don't do this. I wonder are these items donated? I will not be revisiting and stick to other shops! Also while I was in there another shopper was asking why a no brand purse was priced so high, so this wasn't just me.
