What happens if I don't ship an item on time?

StockX sends you periodic email and StockX app reminders to ship your item, so you'll always know how much longer you have to drop your item off with our shipper. If you miss your shipping window, StockX will send you alerts to inform you of this. If you don't ship after receiving these warnings, StockX will cancel your sale. In addition, you may be subject to the following penalties in the event of a cancelled sale:

  • A penalty charge of $15 USD or the equivalent in local currency.
  • Restrictions to and/or the suspension of your StockX account
  • Your Seller fee could be increased.

For more information, refer to FAQ: What is the StockX Seller Programme? Since there is a Buyer waiting on the other side of every StockX transaction who doesn't receive their item until it is verified at a StockX facility, please do your utmost to send items within the window provided. The longer an item takes to ship, the longer the Buyer waits for the item which can negatively impact their experience.

I won't be able to ship my item in time, can I get an extension?
If you need more time to post your item, you can handle this yourself by requesting a 24-hour shipping extension for your order from your StockX account. More information can be located in the FAQ: Can I get an extension on shipping? 

Please note that new release items sold on their release date have an extended shipping time frame baked into our policy given the nature of these items' drops and debuts. As a Seller, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the item ready before listing it on StockX and that you will be able to complete the sale within the allotted time frame.

StockX requires this in order to control the time frame of the Buyer experience, which begins at the same time as the Seller's with the purchase of an item.

If you know that you won't be available to post an item in the event that it matches with a Buyer, you can always enable Holiday Mode to avoid any surprises:
