I’ve been using Novelship for almost a year now and i like that they’re located locally (Singapore) as delivery is really fast be it sending or receiving - something that i won’t experience with other sneakers marketplace based in USA. I’ve never had any problems receiving my payouts from sales of sneakers, clothings and collectibles on time, sometimes even before they send me to inform that “it’s payday”.
However, I have yet to receive my latest payout request. They insisted that the payout transfer has been done and asked me to wait patiently which I did but I did not receive anything from Novelship as of today. I am sure my account number was entered correctly since I’ve received my previous payouts successfully. I contacted Novelship and they said they would check with the finance team but have yet to get back.
Per their website, it says the following:
“If you are the payout beneficiary, please:
Contact the bank and find out if the money can still be delivered, or
Whether the bank will send it back to Novelship”
I went ahead and contact my bank and they said Novelship should be the one contacting the bank as they are the sender. As the intended beneficiary, I’m not able to do anything as I’m not involved in this “transaction between Novelship and wrong beneficiary”.
It is very frustrating that the only way you can contact them is via email and maybe Facebook messenger and you do not get replies instantly. I mean you do get a fast reply but only with an automated reply and said they’ll check and get back soon.
Being able to call them would be a better option for such urgent request where funds transferred wrongly by Novelship due to Novelship’s negligence can be mitigated immediately. Funds can be “stolen” by the wrong beneficiary as the matter drag longer.
Please look into this.
I also feel that maybe Novelship should look into letting customers use sales payouts / funds in the account to purchase within the website itself so we don’t have to keep withdrawing the funds to use them for future purchases, if any.
I’ve decided to write a review as customer service should really be improved in Novelship. From what I know / experience, it appears that customer service is run by 1 main person. I appreciate that Novelship has a wide range of products and is slowly gaining popularity amongst sneakers enthusiasts. However, there are some things that need to be improved to match up / be even better than other marketplaces. Having an app would allow customers have ease of use as well - sometimes we get logged out and we have to log in again on the website.
Thank you.

Double Bad experience despite the good online system
I was very happy with this new found platform initially, until I received a bad/sub par condition pair of shoes (very obvious/deep DENTS found in BOTH sides of my supposed 'Brand New' shoes).
Very disappointing.
Reached out to Customer Service for explanation however it was like talking to a Bot. It was swift in acknowledging my feedback submission, however he/she didn't take into my consideration what I've already told in my email earlier. but asked for Pictures that I've already sent.
And few days later, gave me a reply I could already find on the web..
Double BAD experience and disappointment.
I gave it a CHANCE to Redeem itself but to no avail..

Hey Doreen,
We're sorry to hear this!
During the verification process we are looking for 2 things. 1) Is the item authentic? 2) Would the item be within our acceptable range. To be clear, we do allow shoe to have minor dents/crease as this can and often does occur at retail locations. However, we do not allow severe dents that is signs of mishandling/Use by the seller.
We appreciate you letting me know about your negative experience. We strive to ensure every customer is satisfied with our business, and I apologize for any way in which we may have inconvenienced you.

This is my first purchase from this site. Purchased a Supreme cap. Paid top dollar and expected better packaging then just some bubble wrap in a DHL satchel. You would expect at least a small box of some sort to at least protect the cap from any creases or being squashed.
Have purchased similar products on eBay and their packaging was at least done with common sense.
Was extremely disappointed and I would not recommend purchasing caps from Novelship.

Shoes came in on time but there were minor defects on the toe box. I guess it's still authentic so the authentication process went through but I'm not very satisfied with the quality of the shoes

Overall Novelship customer service was excellent. However i could not provide 5 star for overall experience as my experience was bad. First the seller did not response my bid. Next the second seller did ship my item but the deliver was pending for quite some time.
But novelship’s legit check, reshipping to me was efficient and quick.

Legit shoe, but horrible sneaker/box quality control.
Legit shoe, but horrible sneaker/box quality control.
Feedback to customer support, and was shown the "acceptable shoebox condition". What is acceptable to Novelship is clearly not for the same for a collector, outrightly mishandled the sneaker/box or accepted inferior standards from the seller to make profit. Other sneakers webpage clearly uphold a higher integrity than Novelship, and I am not short of options.

Hi there,
We're sorry to hear this!
During the verification process we are looking for 2 things. 1) Is the item authentic? 2) Would the item be within the acceptable range?
To be clear, the product quality guide provided in our website doesn't mean that it can fully cover the 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.

I have noticed a few people have had the same experience as me I purchased my order on the 25th of April and it is now May the 6th and the only update I have had is the seller has shipped for authentication..
There is still a couple steps before I receive my order and it has been more then 10 days..
I'm hesitant at giving a bad rating as I just want my shoes or an explanation as to why it's taking so long...
First time buyer on this site also..

Hi there,
Thanks for your feedback.
Please note that for purchases via the platform, in general we try to keep fulfillment delivery between 6 - 10 working days from the transaction date. This does not include holidays or festive seasons where delivery may be delayed due to surge in orders.
Do note that with the ongoing COVID pandemic, there may be delays in overall processing time. Our goal is to complete sales within our standard timeframes. However, shipping times are dependent on the capabilities of our shipping partners as well as any government’s recommendations or regulations towards social distancing. Warehousing operations are dependent on the local regulatory requirements. We are an international marketplace, and it is possible that delays in Asia, Australia, or North America could impact shipping, processing and delivery times, for example. We seek your kind understanding during this global pandemic.
I've checked with our support team and confirmed that your order is from an overseas seller and just arrived at our processing center today. They have sent you an update as well.
Regards,
Novelship Crew
