Why rent from a closet instead of a store
e.closet isn't a warehouse. Every piece belongs to a real person who lists it, sets the price and hands it over or ships it. That means:
- The price is set by the owner, as one flat amount for each rental length she offers (2, 4, 5, 7, 14 or 30 days). No per-day math at checkout.
- There's a lot of range. Owners list what they actually wear, from going-out tops to designer gowns.
- You can ask the owner anything. Every request comes with a message thread, so you can check measurements, how it fits, and how it'll get to you before you book.
How it reaches you
Every delivery option the owner offers shows at checkout:
- Local handoff: meet the owner and take it from her. Nothing to ship.
- Shipping: posted to you with tracking, with a prepaid label in the box for the return.
- Courier: door to door within the same city.
Frequently asked questions
How old do I have to be to rent on e.closet?
You need to be at least 16 to use e.closet, and under 18 you need a parent or guardian's consent and supervision, per its Terms of Service.
How do I pay?
Venmo, PayPal, card or Apple Pay. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay.
What if it doesn't fit?
Message the owner for measurements before you book. If an item arrives materially different from its listing, such as a different size than listed or damage that wasn't disclosed, you can file a claim through the app under e.closet's Return & Refund Policy.
Can I also rent out my own clothes?
Yes. Anyone can list pieces they aren't wearing, set their own rental prices and get paid when they're rented. See how to rent out your prom dress.
