I recently opened an investigation and claim with the courier UPS over a missing pair of sneakers. Emily was very helpful in contacting her UPS specialist and I received a full insurance payout soon after. I’m very grateful for her service and look forward to purchasing from the Sole Market again.

10/10 Customer service

Recently had an issue with a pair of shoes I had sent go missing from the parcel locker, Emily was quick to reply and very helpful in assisting me. With it being an abnormal case I was very unsure on how it would be solved but she definitely was there to fight my corner.

I cannot fault the customer service at all and they were much more helpful than other marketplaces I have used in the past.

Strongly recommend.

BEST PLATFORM TO BUY & SELL SHOES!

The Sole Supplier is comfortably in my opinion the best platform to use when buying and selling in demand shoes. Customer service is 10/10 (shout out Emily!) Highly recommend TSS!

Very dismissive and disappointing return policy. I shouldn’t have to sign up as a seller myself and flog the product in order to get a “return”. Unless this problem can be resolved I won’t be returning as a customer.

Hi Harry,

We're sorry to hear you are disappointed regarding our returns policy. As stated when you purchased the item and within your order confirmation, as you are purchasing from an individual seller on a Marketplace (rather than a business), all sales are final unless there is a quality issue with the item or the incorrect item was received.

Perfect in cost and service

Very convenient service. Was easy to find and buy what I was searching for, dispatch and delivery was also very quick as I received my order less than 24 hours after ordering it right before Christmas. Would definitely use again.

First time using Sole Supplier

Hi RC - I hope you are well. We're so sorry about this, unfortunately the pair you ordered did not pass verification and therefore was cancelled, as we did not want you to receive a non-authentic pair.

We work on a charge upon dispatch model - As this order was cancelled prior to shipping, the funds were never fully taken from your account and the funds should shortly be available to spend again in your available balance.

Despite this, please email info@thesolesupplier.co.uk with your order number as the subject, we'll be able to make this right for you.

Hi Alisear - Your order was placed on Sunday 15th December and shipped on Monday 16th December. As explained via email, the order was on the UPS delivery truck today but unfortunately due to the peak period, will go back out for delivery tomorrow.

We appreciate your patience during this peak time and allowing more time in getting your order to you, which will arrive hopefully tomorrow. If there are any issues, please speak to our customer service team.
