What is sourcing ?
Very similar to pre-ordering although sourcing stock comes from the UK. Over the past two years we’ve identified that Ireland is a very limited market and not all the sneakers you need we can get over here. With that said we’ve identified the need to establish wholesale connections throughout the UK. After numerous flights over to the UK to meet with these suppliers we’ve established a solid supply chain.
So how does sourcing work? First of all you will need to fill out a sourcing form (click here) and we will get back you via Email as soon a possible. Once we see the sneaker your after we check our wholesale supplier’s catalogues over in the UK. Once we find the sneaker your after in our supplier’s catalogue we send you over a quote via email, we then take payment in full before placing the order from our supplier.
If you go ahead with your sourcing order, we send payment to our supplier and get the sneakers sent to us, depending on customs clearance this process takes between 3-7 business days. The shoes then arrive with us where we pay the custom fees before ensuring the sneakers are 100% authentic. We then send you the sneakers from us and it is at this point where we send you some tracking, this process takes 1-3 business days.
In total sourcing orders take between 3-10 business days to get delivered to you depending on how fast custom clearance takes.
*Please note:
1. Sourcing orders are more expensive then other stock as the price has to factor in custom fees as well as shipping from the UK and then shipping from us to you.
2. You pay no hidden fees such as custom fees, the price we quote you is the total price you pay.
3. Unfortunately we are not miracle workers, if your after a sneaker that is in low supply and high demand the price will be high and we can’t change that. This could be the newest hyped release or a release from a few years ago.
