FAQ
Who will be mending my clothes?
Your clothes will be mended by small businesses or non-profits that specialize in clothing repair.
Do you mend shoes?
Not just yet.
How much do mending services cost?
Mending services are divided into two categories, Small Fixes and Big Fixes.
- Pricing will depend on the service area and the type of repair.
- Your Mender will receive the full amount of the repair cost.
- MendIt® charges a $5 flat fee per transaction to fund this business on orders up to $100.
- After $100, it becomes a 3% + $3 fee.
- We do this so that we do not take away from the Mender’s service fees, so take advantage and include as many items as possible in a single transaction!
What if I select the wrong fix option?
- If you selected a small fix, but your Mender realized it was actually a big fix, you will receive a price adjustment notification.
- And vice versa! If you selected a big fix but it was actually a small fix, you will receive a price adjustment notification and partial refund.

Clothing:
- Please make sure that the clothing has been washed and is in a clean condition.
- Please pin or note on your repair if it may be difficult to easily notice.
Mending bag:

- If possible, please use a bag that closes, such as a laundry bag.
