On SmartCustomer, businesses may not offer incentives or pay to remove reviews. Learn more about our Review Guidelines.
The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with some customers praising the quality and authenticity of products, as well as competitive pricing. However, a significant number of reviews highlight severe issues with customer service, including difficulties with returns, product authenticity disputes, and inadequate support during order discrepancies. Complaints regarding shipping delays and the handling of defective or incorrect items are prevalent, suggesting systemic operational flaws. Overall, while there are positive experiences, the negative feedback indicates a pressing need for improved customer service practices and quality control measures to enhance overall customer satisfaction.

We monitor reviews for authenticity
I spent time before the sale confirming some details of an expensive gift item I was purchasing for Xmas. Most of the information I received was wrong.
I was also over billed and can't get a competent person from StockX to resolve. This is the second order of $400+ sneakers purchased from this company and my last due to billing issues and quality control issues/suspicious of authenticity.
I don't think that their authenticity checks are very good and these shoes came with several issues. I emailed support and got a useless canned response and have now spent a couple of hours trying to get my $20 in over billing back. What a waste of time. Customer service is lacking...No phone support, tickets are replied to days later and live chat is subpar at best. I will be looking elsewhere for my gifting needs in future. When issues arise, you will spin your wheels for days.
They stole $450 and gave me fake sneaker. They robbed me with a pistol.
PLEASE PEOPLE DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY
Hey Carl, We are sorry to hear your purchase didn't go as smoothly as anticipated. We have stringent authentication standards where we would never send an item to a Buyer that we did not deem as passable.
Prior to shipping items to you, we verify them in person with our industry experts. We 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. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you understand. Due to being a live marketplace, some items will pass verification despite having defects. With that being said, we are certainly happy to take another look at any item.
Please reach out to our support team via stockx.com/contact with the following information and they will be more than happy to assist you.
- 360 photos of the item with the QR tag still attached ( top, bottom, sides, front, back, etc)
- photo of the QR code itself
- photos of your concern
Thank you!
The Stockx shipped me a low-quality replica, and they don't want to proceed with a return or a refund. The Nike shoes had a bad gasoline-like smell and started to tear apart in less than a week. The smell should be a red flag during their verification process, but they simply ignored this fact. I have other same-model sneakers and non of them have this awful smell, and none of them have torn apart. This is a 100% replica. Their promise of authenticity is just an empty promise. Be aware.
We are terribly sorry for the circumstances and complications with your recent purchase. It is not our intention to make any purchases disappointing. We would be happy to revisit your case if you reach out to StockX.com/contact. We look forward to looking into your inquiries.
I purchased, not bid, for a pair of shoes and accidentally ordered Mens. Caught it but nope can not exchange or cancel. But I can resell it on their site. This is bad service. Even a return with a restock fee would have been nice. Never will order from them. Bidding is a different game.
I am updating this and stating that StockX did infact, helped us out on getting the shoe purchase taken care of. I now give them a 4 star. The -1 start is due to the fact that we really had to work to get it taken care of. But was much appreciative.
We are disheartened to learn of your experience with a recent purchase. StockX is a consistently fluctuating market similar to the stock market. A change to a single product or size can happen within moments or days. That is the basis and nature of our company. StockX is the middleman for the sellers and buyers; thus, we do not hold inventory. Buyers and sellers alike control this ever-changing market. StockX serves as a platform that makes it convenient for both individual sellers and buyers to do business easily. Because of this, we do not actually hold inventory and therefore would have no way to accept merchandise back in instances of unwanted purchases. Once your purchase was made, a commitment to the original party that was selling the merchandise was made as well. We look forward to hearing from you at StockX.com/contact if you are in need of any further assistance. We are happy to help!
After making a purchase I waited 10 days and realized the seller never sent the item to StockX so after reaching out to StockX they cancelled my order because the seller could not fulfill my order! After 12 days of making the purchase. They cancelled my order which left me to re-purchase for the holidays and pay over $100 more for the item! Shame on them they offered me a pitiful discount code, which I used and still paid more than $60 over the original order. They care more about he seller then the buyer. I will NEVER use them again.
We are disheartened to learn of your recent experience with a canceled purchase. We have penalized the seller accordingly in accordance with our seller policy (https://stockx.com/help/articles/What-happens-when-a-seller-breaks-the-rules) It is not our intention to make your purchase during the holidays a difficult or disappointing one.

My first experience with StockX will be my last. I purchased a game through their site, assuming that it would be far safer than others. The opposite was true. Upon receiving the game, I was incredibly disappointed to see that their own verification sticker had come loose and damaged the box. (Besides placing a sticker on a cardboard surface, which is never a good idea, they pulled it so tightly that it ripped the surface.) I reported this and was told that I could not return the item and that they "issued a free shipping code for a future purchase." I won't be making any future purchase, and I highly recommend that others do not.

This morning I was scrolling on stockx and I found this expensive pillow, I view it and I dropped my phone my thumb hit the purchase item. I tried to cancel the order and Stockx doesn't let you do that. So I have to cancel my credit card and get a new one over it.
We are disheartened to learn of your experience with an accidental purchase. Please be advised that we do have a stringent cancellation policy for buyers. Due to our live marketplace's nature, once the order is confirmed, we are unable to cancel (Even if the purchase was made by mistake). StockX serves as a platform that makes it convenient for both individual sellers and buyers to do business easily. Because of this, we do not actually hold inventory and therefore would have no way to accept merchandise back in instances of unwanted purchases. Once your purchase was made, a commitment to the original party that was selling the merchandise was made as well.
One of the most amazing things about our dynamic platform is that when you run into this situation, you are not completely without options and actually may have the opportunity to come out ahead in these situations.
The versatility of our marketplace quickly allows you to switch from buyer to seller with ease. Relisting the item that you just purchased allows you to know not only the opportunity to sell the item to another buyer but also to possibly even make a profit while doing so! I have included the link that gives you those step-by-step instructions:

I had never received my refund. I was told that I would get one on 12/1/22. Then the shoes came randomly when I had already bought other shoes because this was a "ghost order." The shoes that randomly came look very worn and look like knock-offs. Was told 12/1 I'd get a refund and still none. I no longer wish to jump through hoops and waste my time trying to submit so many things that the site doesn't even allow bc the pictures are "too big" even though they're the appropriate size.

We are disheartened to learn of your refund not being received after you were told that your purchase was a charge that did not connect to any order. We are sorry for any inconvenience. In these instances, it is most likely that you had a duplicate account that your purchase was made on that we were unable to locate at the time that you reached out. Please contact StockX.com/contact for further support with this. We would be happy to re-review your case.
Excellent Products & Follow-Up Service! Ordering from an online source can be fraught with risk - who knows who you're dealing with on the other side or if the product will be as good as the pictures look?! But my experience with the store has been outstanding.
Sold me fake shoes had them legit checked and they were fake my shoe shop in bay are told me they were fake. They would not take them back
Hey Carlos, We are sorry to hear you are having inconsistencies with the response in regard to the quality of your shoes. Hearing that they are fake from a third party could be very frustrating, which is why we offer our StockX Buyers Promise that allows you to photograph your concerns and submit them to our expert verification team for a second look. You can find more information on that policy as well as how to submit your photos here:

I have purchased some Jordan 1s, 4s, 12s, 13s and a Gucci belt. I have found most products on StockX to be good quality as my 1s, and 12s fit great and are legit. My Jordan 4s ( Bred Jordan) I wore for the first time today and they are peeling. No clue what the material is but also no clue how this passed "StockX Verification". Can't get a refund of course but also just don't feel right purchasing $#*! from StockX anymore. Yeah there's good quality $#*! but there's also fake $#*! which clearly still passes their "verification". Wish they would have better service to loyal customers who spend money with them. Putting the customer first seems to be lost with StockX. Just bought my brother 13s and plan on cancelling them ( if they ever ship). Buy at your own caution as you can see.
Update: I actually got my money back for the Breds that's took 8 days to ship to StockX. (See pic)
This was my first experience with StockX. I made a purchase which came visibly damaged and re-taped by FedEx. I reached out to StockX support and asked for a waiver of claim so I could work with FedEx to resolve the damage caused (the shoe box was destroyed), they would not provide one. Instead they offered for me to send it back to them so then they could make a claim with FedEx for themselves (my guess is so they could keep both the sneakers and the claim money). Meanwhile that particular sneaker went up $50 in price so I would have had to pay more for a replacement. They offered me free shipping for my next order, which is miniscule anyway. I will rethink purchasing sneakers from them again in the future as my collectible sneakers have now been severely devalued at my expense.
I ordered my daughter some dunks from stockx and we never received her sneakers. They were signed for in Baltimore Maryland and I never received a refund! The process was draining to even get the Refund on top of it all never again will I spend that kind of money online what a horrible experience for me and my daughter! She was really looking forward to receiving those sneakers! Thanks for nothing
Easy and smooth shopping experience. Overall things could move faster, and there does seem to be some dead listing, like one bid was never acknowledged by the seller, and there was no buy now option with the desired price or reserve so that kinda sucked but the purchase I did make, aside from being a little slow through the process was good. I bought below retail but by the time you consider stockx fee and shipping I wasn't far from paying retail at all. Shoes I bought were 84 and normal retail is 120, fees did eat most of that middle ground….t
Fast delivery, good quality product, arrived as described. Would recommend.
I've ordered about 4 times from Stock X and never worry about the item being fake or misrepresented in any way. They have SUPERIOR customer service. I will always do business with Stock X
Would not accept my credit card and when I reached out asked me for eat more information than I have ever been asked before. Then told me they still cannot use my card, never told me why and suggested I just keep trying cards until they work. There is no way to delete your card info from their site. They were communicating with me until I asked them to delete my card info then suddenly stopped responding. 100% a scam
Hi Dee, We are sorry to hear you are having so much difficulty submitting your payment. We always try and make sure your account is the most secure to prevent any fraudulent activity and sometimes it will interfere with your actual purchases. We ask you for information to help with our security features and typically the best resolution once you have provided us with that information is allowing our system to settle down and process your payment at a later date. You can always contact us at StockX.com/contact for more information on this.
Very fast and professional. Great choice and wide selection.
Answer: It's a scam, received fake shoes from them and they won't refund me.
Answer: Hi Norma, StockX currently does not offer phone support but we would be happy to help you via chat or email! Please contact us at stockx.com/contact with screenshots of the charges and we can get to the bottom of this for you.
Answer: Hi D. H, StockX is not a regular retail store. We are a live global anonymous marketplace. Buyers and sellers are located across the world as are our authentication centers. All purchases are coming from different sellers located in different areas globally and could be going to different authentication centers. Due to the anonymous nature of our live market, we are unable to offer refunds, exchanges, or swaps of any kind - including if you ordered the wrong size. The good news is you can always resell with us if you no longer want your item. However, in the event that a seller does not ship on time or fails verification we will always try to like the buyer to a new seller at no additional cost. If we are unable to do a full refund is processed. In the event that the buyer wishes to not be linked or if the seller is passed their ship-by date, they can request to cancel. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and that this purchase didn't go as planned. If you have any further questions please contact us at stockx.com/contact. Thank you!
Answer: Hi Alexa, StockX is not a regular retail store. We are a live global anonymous marketplace. Buyers and sellers are located across the world as are our authentication centers. All purchases are coming from different sellers located in different areas globally and could be going to different authentication centers. We give an estimate of 7-12 business days for all deliveries, however, this is subject to delays. We do not guarantee shipping information for any item until after and only if the item passes verification. While we work very hard to stay within our estimated timeframes, we can not guarantee a delivery date. In addition, we do not deliver our own packages, so we do not have any control over carrier delays and/or how fast an item passes through customs ( if needed).

Answer: A: Hey Lienardo! That's a great question! StockX defines "Deadstock" as authentic, new, and unused. We do allow the original box to be slightly damaged, such as minor dents and rips. We do not allow boxes with major rips or tears. However, just like all products on our site, our dedicated verification team will thoroughly inspect each item to make sure it is authentic and meets the condition requirements. Please note our verification team does not break the factory seal during this process.
