Shopping
Forstep Style is a global e-commerce platform for sneakers and apparel. We have broad sneaker selections and the best Buyer Protection within the industry space, making it one of the most trusted streetwear marketplaces.
Whether you are an individual or a streetwear brand, you can apply to sell. Sneaker resellers will have to pass a verification process.
We only sell unworn, brand-new items with tags attached.
There might be customs or import duties involved and the charges are determined by the Customs office of the country of delivery. If the fees are applicable, please note that they are not included in the payment made and you will be billed directly by the courier in the designated country.
We ship to most destinations on a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) basis. This means that the prices displayed on-site are exclusive of all taxes and duties and customers will be responsible for those charges. Sales Tax and VAT will apply based on a buyer’s shipping address rather than a buyer’s billing address. These taxes will apply to all purchases of taxable items for applicable jurisdictions, even for current offers that are completed at a later time. Applicable tax rates may vary by jurisdiction. For Sales Tax purposes, some states may include shipping fees in the calculation of Sales Tax while other states may exclude shipping fees.
You have the option to cancel the order given that the order has not yet been shipped out, in two ways:
1. Contact the seller directly through your account, or
2. Contact our customer service team to cancel the order for you. Please note that our response time is 24-48 hours, meaning if the order has been shipped out, it would be considered as an order ‘shipped’.
A full refund will be issued back to the original payment method only.
Shipping
The majority of sellers ship worldwide. To see if the product can be shipped to your country, please navigate to the card page and enter the shipping country/city. If your country doesn’t show, please contact our customer service team for more information.
Sellers can specify a processing time for items they sell. The processing time can vary from 1 – 5 working days. If the seller specified a processing time, you can see that on the item listing page under the Shipping and return policy. You’ll see ‘Ready to ship in XX days’. The number of days is the processing time. One item in order: If the processing time for your item is a range, like “3–5 business days,” we use the end of the range to determine when you can open a case or leave a review. In the example above, we’d use 5 business days.
Normally, your order will be delivered between 7 to 35 business days, and the delivery time will depend on the following factors:
Item Processing Time: The processing time is the time it takes for the seller to prepare the item(s) for shipment. There are different processing times for different items depending on product category and volume. Usually, it is around 3 to 15 working days—specified by the seller according to the item’s stock status.
Shipping Method: Delivery time varies with the shipping method. Time in transit varies depending on where you’re located, where your package is coming from, and local customs regulations.
Please note that due to national holidays or force majeure factors, shipping time frames may be delayed, and you will need to contact the seller for further details regarding the delivery status of your order, you can do that from your account or contact us for help. (order ID will be needed)
You can change the address before it is shipped, as long as the new address corresponds with the original shipping country. If you need to change the shipping country, you’ll have to cancel this order and place a new order, with the correct address. To cancel your order, message your seller within the order or contact our customer service team for help.
Tracking
You can track your order from multiple places:
1. Simply login to your account to view the latest status. You can also check the tracking from the order shipment email to keep track of the order as it moves along our processes.
2. You can trace your parcel by visiting the courier’s online tracking system please note that it might take up to a few working days for the courier to update the shipment status after the order is picked up.
3. Please contact our customer service team if you have any problems tracking your order.
You can buy most items on Forstep Style without creating an account. Here is how to track orders without a customer account.
On the day that your order is ready to ship, your seller will assign a unique tracking number. Until logistics scans that number and loads it into the truck (it may take up to 6 business days), it will show up as invalid. For international express delivery methods (FedEx, DHL, USPS), your seller might provide you with 2nd, redirected tracking number for the same order.
Unshipped: The seller hasn’t shipped the order yet or didn’t update the order on Forstep Style.
Each seller has set processing days which are visible on the product pages. Processing day is the time needed for your seller to prepare and ship out the package.
Tracking numbers are usually provided within 3-6 business days following the date order is placed, and it varies on the arrangement of an order.
We will notify you by email when your order will be shipped out by your seller. If your order doesn’t ship in 6 business days, please contact our customer support team for help.
Refunds and Returns
Full refunds will be processed for the canceled orders immediately after the order cancelation. The refunded orders have the status ‘refunded’ rather than canceled.

If your item is not as described, you should contact your seller first from your account to discuss a resolution related to the case. If you accept the product and want to keep it, you should negotiate a partial refund.
