I’m not sure if it is legit..I bought yeezy Oreo but notice quite a few glue that is visible to the eyes..this is my third yeezy purchased but first time in Novelship.i also noticed that the sole is not that glued properly because you can see some gap to the sides which I dont see it on my other Yeezys.the knit is bit crampled as well where the lace is,I tried taking off the lace to see how it goes but still didn’t work.I think the yeezy that you’ve sent is a fake one.I hope I can send photos with you guys so that you will know what I meant..I hope you will do something about it because I paid a lot of money for it..rather than that,shipping to New Zealand is quite fast though.thanks

Hi Ravimar,
We're sorry to hear that you believed the item that you received isn't authentic.
Prior to shipping items to you, we verify them in person with our industry experts. All items are within the production standards for the shoe and are cleared for delivery. We unfortunately do not have control over the manufacturer's production standards and must work with products that they have cleared for release. Glue, stitching, and slight paint variances are common in all mass-produced shoes. With that being said, we are certainly happy to take another look at any item.
It is never our intent to upset you or make your user experience difficult. Our support team is working around the clock to answer every inquiry received as quickly as possible. Kindly reach out to us at [email protected] to further check the product.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Update: Thank you for providing the details. Our support team will reach out to you within the day to require photos for us to proceed with the investigation as we have not received any tickets from you related to the above concern. We would appreciate it moving forward if you can reach out to our support team at support @novelship.com if there's any issue. We will be more than happy to assist you.

Novelship Crew
Meticulous and helpful staff assisted me with my purchase. Prompt respond to my enquries too!

So i waited till today 13th of April 2022 the status of the shoe is always been “Seller Shipped Out” and its been almost 2 weeks and it still didn't change the shoe of the status. May i know how long actually I’ll have to wait for me to receive my shoe ? Thank You

Hi Eden,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and we appreciate your understanding in the matter. We know that delay with the movement of the parcel from the seller has prevented you from receiving your order earlier than expected, and that we have fallen short of your expectations.
I've checked and I can see that we have just received the parcel today and the team managed to prioritize the process for you. We have provided you with the tracking details via email.
We thank you for the chance you've given us to rectify the issue quickly.
Though we are able to complete the order within our fulfillment period, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience and hope to offer you better services in the future.

Novelship Crew
Though I think there're some problem on how it work, customer service is great. They provide me a lot of help at a useful way. So, I will rate Novelship four star.

Hi Teiwiora,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
I was able to pull up the ticket related to your concern. Please note that we have responded to them already.
Allow me to explain again here, you purchased the product on the 3rd of April 2022 via the instant delivery option. As stated in our FAQ "Instant Delivery product purchases will be shipped out from Novelship in 1 to 2 working days". Thus, we have managed to arrange the delivery the next day. Please note that we do not have direct control over the delivery time frame as it will be depending on the courier and location.
I can see in the tracker that the ETA of your order to you will be on April, 22 2022 - By the End of the Day as your location is in NZ REGIONAL SERVICE AREA which is why it will take a while. We hope for your understanding on this matter.
Please continue to track your order via the courier's tracking page and let us know if there's any issue.
We apologize again for the inconvenience caused and we hope to offer you a better service in the future.
Regards,
Novelship Crew

Unable to reply email queries. Sent another email checking on updates but no reply from them.
Reply: Yes, I’ve sent you an email on 24th and 25th March 2022 regarding my additional tax and import duties fees reference order No. #BEMV9EP03G. I’ve paid a delivery protection fee but I’m still incurred another SGD$50.80 by DHL for my shoes. As such, I would like to check if if the delivery protection fee would cover these import duties and taxes?

Authentication takes a long long long long way....
Reply from Novelship2022-03-03
Hi,
We're so sorry we let you down. We know that delays have prevented you from getting your sale authenticated on time, and that we have fallen short of your expectations.
Rest assured that we are doing our best to process every transaction as efficiently as we can despite the high volume on top of the limited staffing due to covid.
Your feedback helps us get better. We’ll strive to do better.

Hi There,
We're sorry to hear this!
Our support team is working around the clock to answer every inquiry received as quickly as possible. They are here to help! Kindly reach out to our support team at [email protected] so that we can take a closer look at your order.
Please note that during the verification process we are looking for 2 things. 1) Is the item authentic? 2) Would the item be within our allowable standard.
To be clear, the product quality guide provided on our website doesn't mean that it can fully cover the details of the allowable or not allowable items during the checks. We can only give a range for the expectations that we are looking for when authenticating an item. Everything else will be case to case basis.
Additionally, as with products sold at retail stores, some products are deemed "Deadstock" and will pass through our inspection despite having minor stitching or other manufacturing flaws, which are uncontrollable.
We would also like to assure you that the product is determined to be 100% authentic.
Regards,
Novelship Crew
The delivery speed is very slow! I ordered a pair of Nike x Saca x clot kiss of death 2 from 2/12. I couldn't stand waiting for so long by the 2/19th. I contacted your customer service and replied very quickly. I wondered if I had to contact your customer service to enter. Development or I may still be waiting for the seller to deliver the goods! But now, 2/23 has still been shipped in the seller. I have contacted you many times, but the reply will not be sent to the verification center until 2/28. Originally, it was a birthday gift for friends. Now it's too late. After reading the comments on this platform, I honestly say that I'm a little worried about whether my shoes will be fake. I hope you don't let me down! I know that your order volume may be very large, plus the impact of Covid-19 now, but I still hope you can complete this order as soon as possible! My order is. #BEGZR2Y074

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I can confirm that your product has been delivered to our verification center from the seller today. Our authentication team has not begun authentication on it just yet. Once the authentication begins, your order status will update.
Additionally, we are currently having high volume of transactions on top of the limited staffing due to covid impact that might affect the processing time.
Rest assured that we are working efficiently to fulfill every transaction.
Here at Novelship we take authentication very seriously. To achieve a high level of assurance for buyers and sellers, we have a team of in-house product authentication experts going over every single transacted item. In addition, we also work with third party industry experts to provide more assurance for select products.
We go to great lengths to ensure that each authentication team member is well versed and properly trained. We do this to ensure a consistent standard across all authentication checks done.
For a more detailed explanation on the authentication process, please refer to the article below:

Hi there,
We're sorry hear this.
Please note that we are currently experiencing delays with the overall processing and responses due to limited staffing because of the covid impact to our operations.

Easy to use but would help if there was an option to add in available coupons directly to the purchase page instead of having to copy/paste from the coupons/promotion page. Would be a big QOL improvement

Buying at novelship is 4.5 stars but selling is just bad. The duration is slow for both sending shoes and receiving payouts. Receiving payouts is the bad part because i request for early payout and the so called early payout is not early. It will take up to 4 days for the request payout to be transferred but the transfer process will also take another few more days. This system is bad as goat and stockx are way faster. Infact it will only take 3 days latest for me to receive my payout. I will not use novelship for selling at the moment until they sort out their payout system. The customer service is ok still better than some others out there but just the payout system is bad sigh.
