FAQ

Do you have any question regarding your order at Vein Store?

  • Can I find any differences on sizes between different brands? And between different models by the same brand?

    Yes, you can find some size differences between brands. You can even see that the same brand can stock models which differ slightly in size.

    We recommend you always verify what is the size equivalence of the product you are interested on in its American and European sizes. It could happen that you may always wear 5US men and by mistake you might be selecting a 5US women. Verifying the equivalence in the European sizing system or in centimeters, you will save yourself from making a mistake.

    If a specific model fits in a particular manner, we try to include this information on the product page. If you have any other specific questions about how a model fits, please get in contact with our Customer Service Department and we will do our best to provide you with some advice.

  • Is there any difference between models for women and for men?

    Differences only exist in the American sizing system (US) for men and women. This is, 5 US women will correspond to less centimeters than 5 US men. Please take this into account when choosing your size to avoid any mistakes. To verify you are choosing the right size, the best thing you can do is to compare the American sizing system with the EU size and centimeters (CM).

    Note that no other sizing system presents any differences in size between womena and men. 
  • Can I reserve or pre-order a product?

    No, at Vein Store is not possible to reserve or pre-order any of our products. This applies to all products in our catalogue, as well as exclusive product releases.
  • When I add a product to the shopping cart, is the item reserved for me to purchase?

    No, products added to the cart are never reserved for an upcoming purchase under your personal customer account.
  • I'm interested in a pair of sneakers but my size is not available. Would you be able to order a pair for me?

    We cannot order specific items to the manufacturing brands based on personal requests. 

    If the size you are after is sold out, it is unlikely that we will be able to re-stock it. We usually do not renovate stock of products we have already worked with, as we keep a constantly renovated catalogue for our customers to find the newest and most unique products on the market at our stores.

  • Can you get any discontinued models or past editions?

    No. It is not possible for us to get sneakers from previous editions or discontinued models already out of display elsewhere. Our stock available is what you can see on our website. Our stocks are synchronized in real time between our online store and physical stores.

    If a product does not appear available in our online catalogue, we unfortunately do not have it, and we won’t be able to get it.

  • Can the color of the product I receive vary slightly in relation to the photos on the product page?

    Solid quality criteria apply to all our creative procedures. Once you receive the product at home, you could however note light tone variations in the color of your product.

    Any possible tone variations depend largely on the monitor or device on which you visualize the product page. We cannot control for these conditions, but we advise you to try and visualize the product in more than one device if you have any doubts regarding a product, its color, material or appearance.

  • Are the products sold at your store original?

    Yes, all our products are 100% original. At Vein Store we work directly with the manufacturing brands, without any intermediaries. For this reason, you can usually see us mentioned as a regular official collaborator in some promotional campaigns released by the brands. 
  • Is the value that appears on your website the final price I will pay when purchasing a product?

    The value that you can see on our online store is always the final price to be paid for the product. The price does not vary, and it will remain the same regardless of the quantity of products being purchased.
  • What steps do I need to follow if I have received a product presenting a manufacturing defect?

    All manufacturing brands follow really strict quality control measures to assure excellent performance of the products they sell. Moreover, when we receive the product at Vein Store, we carry out a thorough evaluation of the product to verify that they do not present a visible defect, so that you will rarely need to contact us regarding a manufacturing defect on the product received.

    If you notice that the product you have received presents a brand defect, please do not hesitate to contact us as soon as possible so that we can evaluate the incidence appropriately.

  • How do I return a defective product?

    To return a defective product, please contact our Customer Support. Then, you’ll have to send us the defective product with the respective invoice/order form (which you can find in your customer area) and a brief description of your complaint, to the following address:


    VEIN
    Brands Leaders, SA

    Parque Industrial Monte Rabadas

    4720-608 Prozelo – Amares

    Portugal


    If you prefer, you can also do this in one of our physical stores and file the complaint with the help of our employees.

    If the brand accepts the complaint, the item may be replaced by a new one (it should be the same as the original, including color and size), by a refund of the value in a voucher or in the same method of payment (in case there is no more stock of the item in question). If the complaint is not accepted, the brand will return the product to be sent back to the customer.

  • How many days do I have to exchange or return a product?

    You have 30 days (since the day you receive your order at your delivery address) to request a return or inform us of any incidence on your order.

    After those 30 days it is not possible to return a product. You can find more details on our "Exchanges and Returns" and "Terms and Conditions" pages.



    Festive returns policy: Orders placed between November 1 and November 30 can be exchanged or returned until December 31. The procedure for exchanges/returns during this period is the same as for exchanges/returns made during the rest of the year.

    You must keep the proof of shipment until you receive our e-mail confirming the delivery of the goods. We are not responsible for loss or delays in the transportation of the product(s) from the customer's address to our address.

    Please check our "Exchanges and Returns" page to find out more on how to return a product correctly.

  • Is it necessary to introduce the product that I wish to exchange/return inside a security box? If the product is not inside a security box, would it be rejected?

    Yes, it is a requirement for any returned product to arrive at our premises appropriately protected. This will prevent the product from suffering any damage whilst on its way to our headquarters. The products that you send us back are usually returned because the size does not fit you, or because the model does not really convince you. Thus, they will be put on sale at our store again. For this reason, we are really strict when evaluating products returned by our customers.

    If a product is returned without a security box the return will be rejected. 

  • How and when will I receive the refund corresponding to the product returned?

    Refunds are made using the same payment method used to place the order (except Multibanco).

    Refunds are generally available a few days after you receive the refund confirmation email in your email.

    Your refund will be available in your bank account or PayPal account shortly after we do it and you receive our refund confirmation. This depends only on the bank or PayPal.

    In the case of orders paid by Multibanco (Portugal only), we will need your bank details, as the refund will be made by bank transfer (IBAN).
  • I would like to exchange/return a pair of sneakers, but I no longer have the original product box. Could I exchange/return them anyway?

    If you do no longer have the original product box with you it is not possible to request the exchange or return of this product. It is mandatory to ship the items you exchange/return exactly as they were sold and inside their corresponding shoe box or original packaging.

    If an apparel product or accessory was dispatched inside a cover, bag or particular box, this must also be returned in perfect conditions for your exchange/return to be accepted upon evaluation. 

  • My return was rejected, after evaluation, due to poor condition. Can I send the product back to your premises, now that it is in better condition?

    By no means a return which has been rejected due to the poor conditions the product presented could be evaluated again. Rejections are definitive, and second return evaluations do not apply.

    To find out more on how to correctly return a product visit our 'Returns' page. If you have any questions on this regard please do not hesitate to contact us through your customer account.
