Item Protection

Ensuring you get the item you expected with no major issues is one of our top priorities. For this reason, we have a $2.99 USD Item Protection fee you can choose to pay each time you trade for an added layer of protection and security. 

We provide this protection free for your first trade. Lucky Sweater Sustainer 🍀 members also have Item Protection included for all trades and get automatic protection at no extra cost! 

This fee covers:

1. Protection of your items 

With Item Protection you can send and receive cherished items with peace of mind. 

If the item you receive falls into one of the below categories:

  • Is significantly not as described in the item description
  • Doesn't arrive within 3 weeks of the day of shipment
  • Arrives significantly damaged
…. and you have paid for Item Protection, or are a Sustainer member, you will see a shield icon 🛡️ within the chat of the trade that has the issue. Tap here to send details of your issue to the Lucky Sweater team. 

When you message us via this shield form we are notified right away that you have Item Protection to provide you with this premium and priority support. 

Here are a few ways the Lucky Sweater team will provide coverage and assistance if you purchase this protection:
  • If an item never gets delivered or is damaged, please first submit a service request with the shipping provider to better understand the situation and possibly get insurance coverage. This can take 1- 2 weeks. From there, the Lucky Sweater team can help you work with the shipping provider and reach out if there are delays on response times. If no insurance coverage is available through the shipping provider, we can work with you directly on a full or partial refund for the secondhand value of the item.

    If an item is significantly not as described,
    as confirmed by the Lucky Sweater team, the Lucky Sweater team will assist you with a refund and return shipping costs coverage where the item is returned to the original owner and a refund is made. Lucky Sweater will work with the involved parties to resolve the issue. The Lucky Sweater and community moderator teams work hard to have all item listings be detailed, clear, and represent the item fully.

    Should accounts be in violation of misrepresenting items, we may send an email warning or take temporary or permanent action on this account’s privileges. You can read more about this in our Community Guidelines.
