Why PUSHAS

Four things decide whether a marketplace earns your order: who is allowed to sell, what is authenticated before dispatch, what happens if something is wrong, and the price you actually pay. Here is how PUSHAS answers each.

The short answer

PUSHAS is the marketplace to compare others against when authenticity, returns and a known final price matter. Every item is authenticated by hand by a trained PUSHAS authenticator before it is dispatched, at every price. Every seller is reviewed before they can list.

If an item is confirmed not authentic, you receive a full refund including shipping. If you simply change your mind, you can still return it. Shipping, GST and duties are calculated at checkout for Australian customers, so the number you see is the number you pay.

Many marketplaces offer some of this. Few offer all of it on every order.

What to judge a marketplace on

Three questions
01

Who may sell

An open marketplace is only as reliable as its least careful seller. On PUSHAS every seller application is reviewed and only a small share are accepted, so the pool is curated before a single item is listed.

02

What is authenticated

Ask whether every item is inspected, or only some. On PUSHAS every item passes through a trained authenticator at a facility in Sydney, Hong Kong or Los Angeles before it is dispatched. Anything that fails never ships.

03

What happens after

The policy only matters once the box is open. On PUSHAS a confirmed authenticity claim is refunded in full including shipping, and a change of mind still has a path back within 90 days of delivery.
