29th December 2009: Happy New Year from SWOPSHOP! A big 'thank you' to all of you who made it happen at SWOPSHOP in 2009 and here's to an even better 2010! As word gets around and the customer base expands, we are seeing an ever-more frenzied exchange of an exciting range of stock at SWOPSHOP - and it's all down to you guys! SWOPSHOP has had some enquiries about exchange of unwanted Christmas gifts (due to missizing and other issues!) - and the answer is, yes, we do accept these, provided that they are clothing or fashion accessory related and the usual terms and conditions apply... Hopefully, most of you were delighted with your pressies, but we hope to see you in soon anyway since we know for many of you that dusting off the cobwebs and welcoming in the new year automatically involves a wardrobe clearout! Enjoy the rest of the holidays! |  |
