Hi DH - Thank you for your review. We're sorry that The Sole Supplier did not meet your expectations on this occasion. Unfortunately, the photos taken during our verification process did not contain a black pen mark on the shoe as reported by yourself and therefore our investigation was concluded that the goods were not dispatched from our side as damaged.

Quick & Easy

Had the exact shoe I wanted in my size, at the perfect price.
Easy checkout and received my shoes within 3 days of purchase, will definitely use again!

At first I was sceptical

At first I was sceptical. The Handball spezial trainers were £35 more than list price (+ delivery and fee) and I was worried it was a scam. However the price must have reflected demand as they we unavailable EVERYWHERE. I was well informed and the trainers arrived on the date promised, new with tags. Can be trusted - if you’re willing to pay any uplift.

Hi Tracy, thank you so much for your kind review. You're correct, the prices are set by individual sellers and therefore the price does indeed reflect demand! We're so pleased that you love your new trainers, what a great choice!

Excellent service

Excellent service, with updates and tracking info. I was dubious to use for the first time, but they were really good. They arrived when they said and in perfect condition. I would def use them again. I ordered a pair of adidas spezials for my daughter, as couldn’t get them from any store. She is well happy with them.

Emily Atkins and Caitlin Burton

Emily Atkins and Caitlin Burton were fantastic in helping me with a refund and exchange, unfortunately the trainers I ordered were too small so they kindly helped fix the problem for me to order the next size up after the seller couldn’t help out. So thanks Sole Supplier for stepping in !

Big shout out to Emily and Caitlin!!

Fantastic Customer Service…

Wow the customer service I received from Emily has been fantastic, she went above and beyond. I didn't receive my first order but Emily sorted everything out on Saturday evening and I'm pleased to say my order arrived today.
I did also contact the company a few weeks ago for assurance and Caitlin was brilliant as well. I will definitely use this company again. Keep up the excellent customer service.

Fantastic aftersales

I was worried when I first found the site as they seemed to be able to get the UGGs that every other supplier seemed to be out of, I ordered and the parcel arrived within 2 days, there was a slight mixup however Emily answered within minutes and rectified the item within 24hrs, 10/10 to this company and Emily the level of after care was astounding, thankyou again for providing a fantastic service.

Amazing Customer Service

As a seller, I had an issue with an order pay-out. I sent out an email and got a reply back from Emily within an hour. She quickly identified the issue and clearly explained what I needed to provide in order to retain my seller verification. She maintained frequent communications with me even till past the end of the working day. Emily went above and beyond to help me solve this issue! By 9pm that same day the money was in my account! Truly exceptional customer service. Highly recommend!

Use them - They saved my Xmas!

I couldn't find the Ultra Mini Uggs anywhere. I came across Sole Supplier, and, bang, they had them. Their resellers add a small premium, but I felt £30 more for a product sold out everywhere was worth it.

Sole Supplier's customer service was also impressive. There was an issue with my delivery address, and they dealt with it within 24 hours, ensuring my item was delivered before Xmas rush! Thank you!

One thing to remember. Sole Supplier marketplace is for resellers. This is not going to be as perfect as shopping from the brand directly, but man, what a gem of a service they are delivering here.

I will be back.

Special thanks to Emily who supported me with my issue.

Emily in customer is the best

Emily in customer service has been absolutely fantastic. Please read whole review. Placed my order and I’m having issues with the courier not the supplier. Emily has tracked and kept me updated on my order and even go the extra mile and tracking it through the courier. She’s been absolutely outstanding thank you so much. The courier in my area is very poor. This is not a reflection on the seller or The Sole Supplier.
