Welcome to the new SwapStick.com site the latest updated version since the original launched way back in 2006. We hope you like it!
We
have lots of upgrades and new features being added over the coming
months. Shortly we will be launching a new Online Shop where you will be able to buy all the latest sticker and card collections, all with great discounts for members. In addition we are adding a Marketplace where members will be
able to buy & sell relevant items.
You can register for free on SwapStick by simply clicking the JOIN NOW button and filling in the short form.
Once registered you can set up your albums, create a
profile, enter in your swaps and needs, and manage your collections. See
the "How to Swap" section of the site for full instructions.
SwapStick provides an online database of over 500 sticker and card collections, ideal for you to use to keep
track of all your albums particularly if you are swapping at school, work or socially. We have added lots of new albums including some older
ones so have a look through the available collections. You will also
find checklists for a large number of the collections and some of these
include various special stickers and limited editions that we have found out about.
You
can use the site to manage your collections absolutely free.
To
exchange swap requests with other members you do need to join as a full
member. A full member has unlimited swap requests for the period of their membership. Swapstick offers two options for full membership.
Option 1 - Ideal for people with only a few collections to complete. Membership costs just 99p per month (charged bi-monthly in advance). This enables members to join and complete as many swaps as they can. If they don't want to renew membership for a period of time, they can suspend their membership and then renew again at a later date when more swaps are available.
If a member does not want to renew their membership, all we ask is that you give us 1 month's notice in writing using one of the feedback links on the site. This enables us to ensure any future payments are cancelled.
Option 2 - is the annual
membership option at £7.99 (the equivalent of just 66p per month). This ensures you don't miss out on any swap requests when members add new swaps to their collections.
So
if you consider the cost of most stickers and cards, a SwapStick member
could save on the cost of membership by swapping just 15 stickers per
month or even less on rarer or more expensive collections!
SwapStick does work and can save you money, you just need to make sure you have plenty of swaps to exchange! The more collections you add the more likely you will find members to swap with.
Once registered just click
Upgrade Membership.
Why does SwapStick charge for membership?
Having
run the site for free for over 5 years, we found it just cost too much
to run from both a time and money point of view. We have invested in the
site, we provide customer support, continue to add the latest
collections, and will be marketing the site to increase membership
levels, which in turn increases the number of swap opportunities. We
know that SwapStick can save people money through swapping as well as
help avid collectors complete collections where the cards or stickers
are no longer readily available to buy.
What if I want to cancel my membership?
A member can cancel their membership at any time, all we ask is that you give us 1 month's notice in writing using one of the feedback links on the site. This enables us to ensure any future payments are cancelled.
Your membership will continue to run and then expire at the end of it's
current period. Please note we don't give refunds if you just forget.
Existing Members
Even
as an experienced user of the old site, it is well worth looking at the
"How to Swap" section of the site as there are various hints and tips
on some of the new features and how to manage your collections.
Existing members data has been transferred to the new site and Login details remain the same as before.
Enjoy yourselves and we would welcome any feedback.
