Worst experience I ordered Jordan 4…

Worst experience I ordered Jordan 4 black cats, waited 6 days with hardly any response to emails then on 7th day tell me the trainers didn’t pass checks, but hold up you stated seller was trusted, BUT they have changed my mind to give a better rating as they have issued me 30%percent of my next order so I can’t fault them even if this was so disappointing they have made a menz

Hi Ashley,

I’m really sorry for the experience you’ve had with this order – I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to wait several days and then be told the trainers didn’t pass checks.

I’ve looked into this and can see that each of your emails was responded to within our usual timeframes. That said, we do appreciate that during the busy Christmas period there can sometimes be delays and this can make things feel even more uncertain while you’re waiting.

Regarding the Jordan 4 Black Cats you ordered: although the seller you purchased from is one of our trusted sellers, every pair that passes through our marketplace still has to go through our independent verification checks. In this case, the original pair unfortunately did not pass our authentication process. Because we only ever want our customers to receive 100% authentic trainers, we made the decision to cancel that pair rather than risk sending you something we weren’t completely happy with.

We have already emailed you to let you know that we can source a replacement pair for you, and we’ve also offered a gesture of goodwill discount on this due to the inconvenience caused. We haven’t yet had a reply, so if you’d like to go ahead with the replacement (or if you’d prefer to discuss alternative options), please just reply to our last email and we’ll be happy to help.

Once again, we’re very sorry for the disappointment and hassle this has caused, and we really appreciate your patience.

10/10 Customer service & resolution

My parcel was swapped in transit by the courier. However, Emily from Sole suppliers and the team really done everything in their power to correct the situation. The issue was taken seriously immediately and resolved shortly after. The whole process felt seamless and was 10/10 from sole supplier. Will definitely use them again.

No1 for Buying Resale

Easy to find the shoes you’re after, price is the best I’ve found when shopping for resold trainers. They verify the sellers and make sure you get what you bought. Delivery was within two days of my order being dispatched which was great.

Will always check The Sole Supplier first in the future

Bought a pair of Adidas Spezial. Arrived in good time and perfect condition, and cheaper than other sites [even though they were sold out on Adidas]. Will always check The Sole Supplier first in the future

This one might be a bit tough

This one might be a bit tough, but I bought very expensive shoes and for some reason, there was tape on the box (Which, for me, is part of the purchase) which really is annoying as the box is now marked.

HI Matt - Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, some retailers add a tiny strip of tape to the boxes to stop the shoes falling out during delivery.

I ordered my Jordan 4 infrared on Thursday and it arrived on Tuesday. The product is of very good quality and was well packaged. What I did not like was lack of communication from Sole Supplier; I sent an email asking about the return policy but I never received any response from them. Also I think providing a contact number will solve issues faster and better. Thank you

Hi Craig, thank you for your review. We have not received any email communication from yourself to advise that the refund hadn't been received and so were unable to follow this up for you.

I have double checked with the team and have now re-generated the refund and this time for 20%, which should be back in your account shortly.

In future, if there's anything we can do to help you, please reach out to customer service as we're often able to assist quickly.
