Our Sorting Process

Our sorting process is a meticulously designed operation that begins with the collection of second-hand branded shoes from various sources. Each pair is inspected by our experienced team in our factory located in Marcianise Sud, Caserta, Italy. We categorize the shoes into over 100 distinct categories, which include various types of sneakers and sportswear. This ensures that our buyers can easily find the specific type of shoes they need without sifting through irrelevant items.

We employ a systematic approach to sorting, where each category undergoes a detailed grading process to assess its condition. The shoes are then sorted into the grades CREAM, EXTRA, Grade 1, or Grade 2, based on their quality. This ensures that you receive exactly what you expect when you place an order with us.

Our factory sorting process not only guarantees quality but also allows for the efficient management of inventory. Our on-site warehouse is open for visits, where prospective buyers can see our operation firsthand, providing peace of mind regarding their purchases.

Quality checkpoint: Each step in our sorting process is designed to maintain the integrity and quality of the shoes.

Quality Grading System

We understand that quality is paramount when purchasing second-hand branded shoes wholesale. That’s why we have developed a transparent grading system that categorizes our products based on their condition. Our system includes four specific grades:

  • CREAM: The highest quality, like-new condition shoes.
  • EXTRA: Gently used shoes with minimal signs of wear.
  • Grade 1: Good condition with visible signs of use but still highly sellable.
  • Grade 2: Fair condition, may have noticeable flaws but can still be sold at a discount.

Each grade is defined clearly, allowing our clients to make informed decisions based on their market needs. The grading not only helps in setting the right price for your resale but also establishes trust in the products being sourced from us. We focus on providing a detailed description of the condition of each pair, ensuring no surprises upon delivery.

Sorting insight: Our grading system is a key element in maintaining a trustworthy relationship with our clients.

Sneaker Categories

Our extensive selection of second-hand branded shoes includes a wide variety of sneakers, which are sorted into specific categories to streamline the purchasing process. Categories include popular brands such as Nike, Adidas, Puma, and other well-known names in the sports footwear market. Each category is thoroughly sorted and graded, ensuring that our clients receive exactly what they are looking for.

For example, under the sneaker category, we have subcategories for running shoes, basketball shoes, casual sneakers, and more. This level of categorization allows B2B buyers to target their purchases based on consumer demand in their markets. The shoes are not only sourced for their brand value but also for their style and functionality, making them suitable for various retail environments.

Whether your business focuses on online sales, market trading, or wholesale distribution, our categorized inventory equips you with the necessary products to meet your clients’ needs effectively.

Factory fact: Our sorting process includes specialized teams for different sneaker categories, ensuring expert evaluation.

Minimum Order Quantity

We set our minimum order quantity (MOQ) at a competitive level to accommodate various business sizes. The MOQ is 50 kg per category, allowing both small and large businesses to order according to their specific needs. This flexible approach means you can test the waters with a smaller order or place larger bulk orders based on your sales forecasts.

Ordering in bulk not only ensures you have enough inventory to meet demand but also reduces operational costs, making it a smart choice for resellers looking to maximize profits. Our team is available to assist with any questions regarding order sizes and the categories available, ensuring a smooth ordering experience.

Grade note: We recommend ordering across multiple grades to provide your customers with a variety of options.

Video Proof

Transparency is at the core of our business model, which is why we provide video proof for every shipment. Before we dispatch any order, we generate a detailed video showcasing the quality and condition of the products being shipped. This method of verification allows our clients to see exactly what they are purchasing, ensuring that the quality matches their expectations.

Video proof serves as a crucial part of our quality assurance process. It not only builds trust between us and our clients but also minimizes disputes regarding product quality upon delivery. Clients can view the sorted items, check the grades, and confirm that they meet their specific requirements before the shipment leaves our facility.

This level of transparency is rare in the wholesale market, and we believe it sets us apart from competitors. By offering this service, we aim to foster long-term relationships with our buyers based on reliability and trust.

Verification step: Video proof is an essential tool for ensuring product quality and building client confidence.
