Choosing what to buy through an agent
Everyday trainers, retro models and general releases are where buying through an agent makes obvious sense — the domestic price is lower and the stock is deeper. Limited releases are a different story: they sell out in minutes, sellers substitute without warning, and by the time QC photos reach you the pair you wanted is gone. Match the category to the risk you are willing to carry.
Substitution: the most common complaint
Substitution happens when a seller ships a different colourway or a different batch than the one you ordered, and it is far more common with footwear than any other category. Protect yourself by writing the exact colourway code into the order remarks and by checking the size tag against that code in the QC photos. It takes thirty seconds and it is the single most effective habit in this category.
Packing and shipping notes
Shoes are bulky and their boxes are the first thing to get crushed in transit. Decide early whether you want the original box kept, shipped flat, or discarded — dropping the box can cut a noticeable amount of volumetric weight off a multi-pair haul. If you are ordering several pairs, consolidating them into one shipment is usually far cheaper than sending them separately.
Ordering this through Litbuy
Litbuy handles standard marketplace orders and holds goods at the warehouse with photography available before shipment. Their flow suits buyers who already know the exact listing they want. Write specific measurements into the remarks and ask the warehouse to confirm them in the photographs before the parcel is released.
