PUSHAS facility where FASTEST items are held and dispatched within 2 business days

How long does PUSHAS take to deliver? It depends on the item. Sizes marked FASTEST are already at a PUSHAS facility and dispatch within 2 business days, with Express delivery available worldwide. Every other item is sent by the seller to PUSHAS, authenticated by hand, then dispatched, which takes 8 to 26 business days. FASTEST is marked on the listing before you buy, so you can choose speed when you need it.

Here is the honest version of where the time goes. PUSHAS is a marketplace: most items are owned by independent sellers in different cities and countries until the moment you order. That is why a sold-out pair exists on PUSHAS at all. It also means the item makes two journeys, seller to PUSHAS and PUSHAS to you, with authentication in between. FASTEST items have already made the first.

FASTEST vs everything else: what the label means

Listing Where the item is Dispatched within Delivery options after dispatch
FASTEST Already authenticated and held at a PUSHAS facility 2 business days Standard (usually 1 to 7 business days) or Express (usually 1 to 3 business days within Australia; varies overseas)
All other items With the seller; travels to PUSHAS for authentication first 8 to 26 business days Standard (usually 1 to 7 business days)

The 8 to 26 business day window covers the seller packing and sending the item, transit to one of our facilities in Sydney, Hong Kong or Los Angeles, authentication, and dispatch to you. Where the seller is, where you are and how quickly the seller ships all move an order within that range.

Why the wait is the price of authentication

The alternative is a seller shipping straight to you with nobody in between. That is faster, and it's how fakes reach buyers. On PUSHAS every item is inspected by a trained PUSHAS authenticator before it ships. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't ship. The 8 to 26 day window exists because that step is never skipped, not because parcels sit in a queue. Read how PUSHAS works for the full journey.

How to find FASTEST items

FASTEST is shown on the size or option selector of a listing, so a product can have some sizes marked FASTEST and others not. On a sneaker, you might see "US Mens 10 (Fastest)" next to a plain "US Mens 10". On a sealed Labubu case, "One Size (Fastest)" next to "One Size". The FASTEST option is sometimes priced differently, because it's a different item from a different seller.

True at the time of writing:

  • Express delivery is offered worldwide on FASTEST items only. It appears at checkout when your order qualifies.
  • Same Day delivery exists for FASTEST items to Sydney metro addresses on business-day orders placed by 12pm Sydney time.
  • If you order a FASTEST item and another item together, the order ships once, complete, when every item has been authenticated. Place two separate orders if you want the FASTEST item sooner.

How long PUSHAS takes to deliver, step by step

  1. Two-hour cancel window. Ordered the wrong size, or found the FASTEST version a minute too late? Cancel within 2 hours of ordering for a full refund to your original payment method.
  2. Seller to PUSHAS (non-FASTEST items only). The seller sends the item to the nearest PUSHAS facility.
  3. Authentication. A trained PUSHAS authenticator inspects the item. FASTEST items have simply had this done before listing.
  4. Dispatch and tracking. Your tracking number is emailed when the order leaves our facility. Carriers include Australia Post, CouriersPlease, DHL and TNT, with final delivery by your local postal service where applicable. We deliver to PO boxes where the carrier supports them.

Shipping is calculated at checkout from your address and the option you choose, before you pay. Australian buyers see GST and duties at checkout too, with one exception: an order over A$1,000 fulfilled from one of our overseas facilities may be charged import duty and GST on arrival. Buyers elsewhere may pay import duties on arrival, which is usual for cross-border orders. The shipping policy has the detail.

What to do if your order is taking longer

Count the window in business days from the day you ordered. If your order passes the top of its stated window, or tracking shows no movement for 7 business days after dispatch, email orders@pushas.com with your order number. Our team answers 10am to 5pm Sydney time, Monday to Friday, and can tell you exactly where the item is in the process. Customs, carrier delays and remote addresses can add time to any delivery.

Once the item arrives, you're covered the same way whichever route it took: 14 days to return for change of mind, and 14 days to raise a claim under the Authenticity & Legitimacy Guarantee if anything is wrong. The returns guide covers both.

A simple rule for choosing

Need it for an event, a birthday or a trip? Choose FASTEST and Express. Chasing a pair, size or sealed case that only one seller has listed? The 8 to 26 day route is how it reaches you authenticated, and it's worth the wait. Browse the Trending edit and look for the FASTEST tag on your size.
