Who We Are
About Preloved Uniforms
South Africa’s trusted marketplace for preloved school uniforms, textbooks, and university books.
Our Story
A Simple Idea That Solves Real Problems
School is getting too expensive for South African families.
Every year, parents spend thousands on uniforms that their kids outgrow in months. University and college students spend a fortune on textbooks they use for one semester. And most of it ends up in a cupboard, a donation pile, or a forgotten WhatsApp group nobody checks.
We thought there had to be a better way. So we built one.
Preloved Uniforms is an online marketplace where South African parents and students can buy and sell gently used school uniforms, sports kits, primary and high school books, and university textbooks affordably and safely. We handle the payments, book the couriers, manage customer service, and market your items so you don’t have to.
Our Promise to You

- Pay safely through our protected platform. Your money is held until you confirm the item is as described
