The batches, already found.

A shopping agent that has already done the searching. Every item is listed with its batch name and a tier telling you where it sits against the other versions of the same product.

The catalog is account-only. Signing up takes an email and a password.

Most agents hand you an empty search box

The usual flow is that you find a link somewhere, paste it in, and hope the batch is the good one. That puts the hardest part of the job — knowing which of six near-identical listings is actually worth buying — on you. We do that part first and publish the answer.

Five tiers, one product

The same shoe might exist as four different batches from four different sellers. They are not equal. The tier is our ranking of those batches against each other.

Full explanation
Top Tier

The closest to retail we have found for this product. Materials, shape and stitching all hold up under close inspection.

High Tier

Very strong. One or two details separate it from the top batch, and most people never notice them.

Mid Tier

Good everyday pick. Correct at a glance, with visible compromises on materials or finishing.

Budget Tier

Gets the look for less. Noticeable differences in material and construction up close.

Entry Tier

Cheapest available. Listed for completeness and price comparison, not recommended.

How an order runs

  1. STEP 1

    Pick from the catalog

    Everything is already sourced. Each product shows its available batches side by side with a tier, a price and what separates them. No link hunting, no spreadsheets.

  2. STEP 2

    We buy it and check it

    We place the order with the seller, receive it at the warehouse, and photograph it before it goes anywhere. If a batch arrives wrong, you see that before you pay to ship it.

  3. STEP 3

    We ship it to you

    Consolidated into one parcel, weighed, and quoted against our own rate table. One tracking number, updated as it moves.
