A total game-changer! I hired a gorgeous Nadine Merabi dress for the weekend through ByRotation — it would have cost £350 to buy, but I rented it for a night and felt like a million dollars. The proc... See more

Easy to use
The app is very easy to use for uploading items for rent. I have only rented one of my pieces and it was pretty easy.

I had a great experience
I had a great experience renting a dress for a wedding. The renter was extremely helpful, understanding and communicated fast. Some renters I tried to communicate with didn’t reply or were quite slow, so I would recommend messaging the renter before you go ahead. The process overall is more expensive as you have to pay for next day signed delivery and you also get charged for the cleaning fee etc. But overall it is worth it to wear an item you wouldn’t normally be able to afford, or don’t want to buy it to just wear once!

Hi Lou
Thank you for sharing your experience!
We’re delighted to hear that your dress rental for the wedding went smoothly and that your renter was helpful and responsive. Your tip about messaging renters in advance is really valuable for other members of the community.
We understand that additional costs like next-day delivery and cleaning fees can add up, but we’re glad to hear it was worth it for you to enjoy a special outfit without the commitment of buying.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review we hope to help you find many more outfits you love!
Best regards,
The By Rotation Team

Allows theft of items and does nothing to recover
My item was rented and I provided signed for postage of the item, the item was received and signed for at the address given.
the renter then never returned the address and said it didn't arrive.
Byrotation essentially said sorry nothing we can do.

Hi Lana
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting it is when an item isn’t returned as expected.
We’d like to assure you that we have strict processes in place to investigate and manage any reports of theft or non-returned items. In cases like this, having postage insurance is essential, as it provides protection in the rare event that an item goes missing during delivery or return.
Our team always does everything possible within our policies to support both parties and ensure a fair resolution. If you’d like us to review your case again, please reach out to our support team with your reference number so we can take another look.
Best regards,
By Rotation
Terrible experience with this app
Terrible experience with this app. Joined the app - firstly there was an offer on to receive money off - applied directly at checkout, which didn't happen, so had to contact them to apply that. I then agreed with a lender for her to send on a Monday which she said she could - paid for the rental to start from the Tuesday, she said there may be postal delays, I said as long as I have by the Wednesday it's fine. Turns out she didn't actually post until the Tuesday, the day the rental was due to begin. The lender didn't respond when I asked if I needed to sign. I was out when it arrived so missed the delivery, and was going away the next day (which I'd already told the lender), so I only received the dress on the day I was due to return it. I didn't even open the package, just sent directly back from the post office. ByRotation are refusing to give me a refund because I'd said Wednesday worst case scenario was fine despite their T&Cs saying if a rental arrives after the start of the rental date you're entitled to a full refund. Plus they're taking sometimes 5 working days to even respond to me. Awful service all round.

Hi Katie,
We’re really sorry to hear that your Lender didn’t ship your item on time. We understand how frustrating that must have been.
Refunds can be issued when an item is returned within 24 hours; as this requirement wasn’t met, our support team needed to carry out an investigation into the postal dispute.
We truly appreciate your patience and your feedback regarding the time it took to receive updates during the process. These types of queries can take some time to resolve as we work with multiple parties to reach a fair outcome.
Thank you again for sharing your experience, your feedback helps us do better.
Best regards,
By Rotation
Good app - will use again

I’m new to By Rotation and so far I’m really impressed with how easy the app is to use and how many amazing dresses are available. I’ve requested a few rentals and I’m excited to see them accepted soo
I had such a great experience renting with By Rotation! The selection of dresses was amazing, and I loved being able to find unique pieces for special occasions without having to buy something new. The app was super easy to use, communication was smooth, and the dresses arrived in perfect condition. I’ll definitely be renting again—highly recommend!
