Why FragSwop?

UK-Focused Marketplace

Built specifically for UK hobbyists and sellers. Domestic shipping means faster delivery times and better survival rates for live animals.

Live Arrival Guarantee

Our DOA (Dead on Arrival) protection ensures buyers are covered if animals don't survive transit. Claims must be filed within 2 hours of delivery with photo evidence.

Weather-Smart Shipping

Automatic weather holds prevent shipping when temperatures are below 3°C or above 28°C, protecting animals during transit.

Secure Payments

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. Buyer funds are held until delivery is confirmed, protecting both parties.

CITES Compliance

We take wildlife protection seriously. Sellers of CITES-listed species must provide documentation, and listings are verified before going live.

Our Values

Animal Welfare First

Every feature we build considers the wellbeing of the animals being traded. From weather holds to packaging guides, we prioritise safe, stress-free shipping.

Community Focused

We're hobbyists ourselves. FragSwop was built by the community, for the community, to make trading livestock easier and safer for everyone.
