• If you haven’t swapped in any items, you can shop and will be prompted to pay with your credit/debit card through Paypal.. If you don't have enough Gumdrops in your account to pay all the items in your cart, you will be prompted to purchase more Gumdrops to make up the difference.

• In an effort to keep costs low and provide this affordable service, the “Swap Out” Shopping feature is simplified by using sample photos and descriptions. You “Shop” by selecting your child's clothing size, the category, then the desired quantity. For example, you select “3” as the quantity of "jeans” and we will send 3 different jeans in the size(s) you have requested.

• If you are not sure what size to order, please select the next larger size from what your child currently wears because clothing sizes are not standardized.

• If we are out of stock of an item that you want, be sure to select the "NOTIFY ME" option and you will be alerted by email when we get that item in stock again.

• A refund policy at GumdropSwap.com isn't really necessary. If you (or your child) do not the like the style or fit of any item, just send it back unused with your next “Swap In” shipment and you will be credited the same amount of Gumdrops.

• Please inspect all items immediately upon receipt. In the event that we have missed a flaw, e-mail us within 48 hours of receipt at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (photos are greatly appreciated) and we can respond with a remedy (credit your account, send a replacement item, etc.)
