What is Economy Batch about? (PAUSED at the moment)

Please be informed that our Economy Batch has been stopped at the moment. 
Please opt for normal batch :)

Just like any normal Sales, Economy Batch is the Mega Sales Batch for our pre-order collections :)

In order to offer customers much lower price, Shoe Story offers Economy Batch every once in awhile so that shoe lovers can enjoy shopping for shoes without having to burn a hole in their pockets!
(Availability of Economy Batch highly depends on our ability to arrange with suppliers, as Shoe Story is slowly shifting our focus to offer more on premium quality shoes, Economy batch in 2012 might be limited to certain occasions only).

 This is like a smarter plan to help cut down shoelovers' shopping cost. Other than that, the purpose of economy batch is also to reward our enthusiastic and supportive customers throughout our operations for the past 1 year! (Founded since 2010)

Differences between normal batch and economy batch?

The Normal Batch takes around 2-3 weeks time to arrive (if no unforeseeable delays)!

while Economy batch takes around 4-5 weeks time to arrive (if no unforeseeable delays)!

Just like the saying which goes "Good things come to those who wait!"

We hereby would want to state that "Please order only when u can wait!" as we'll never be able to predict things like delays or out of stocks to happen.

From our experiences, there are a few cases which might possibly cause delays on your shoes:

1. Plus size/bigger sizes - 40 and above - as factory will take more time to custom make these sizes especially when there's a lot of orders waiting to be made! For this case, we always advise payment within 1 week before due date to be made! 

2. Late payment/ payment very near due date - although we do set due dates for our economy batch, it is to be informed that the nearer the date u make payment is to the due date, the more likely will delay, as these all depends on the speed of the suppliers, some do work slowly, some do work fast, so better be safe by paying earlier so that we can process your order soonest to avoid this! :)

3. Popular pieces - as suppliers will run out of stock very fast, they'll need sometime to remake and restock, thus we will also have to wait. Some will definitely go out of stock, but no worries, We'll REFUND you in case there's no more stock/remake. 

Material Concern

We have come across many concerns of animal/pig skin used in the making of our shoes. Do read up this post for more info, and should you have any other enquiries, feel free to email us at contactshoestory@gmail.com and we will reply u soonest!

Discounts

As this is already the Economy Batch, prices offered is already the LOWEST!

Nevertheless, in order to encourage bulk buying, customers are encouraged to gather order from friends, and order together (this save postage fees as well!!!). For orders of more than 10 pairs, we will give discount on postage for 10% (e-parcel), and 15% (poslaju). This is to encourage bulk buying, as you know, postage charges are keep on increasing (we hate that too!) !! oh, and occasionally we do add in some awesome freebies as well to add on the excitement! :)

Economical choices of postage of which we highly recommend is E-parcels.

Handled by Poslaju, it takes only more days to arrive (depending on ur areas, some may take up to 1 week plus) but it's worth it if u buy more shoes as it cuts down the burden of high postage fees. POSLAJU has increased their price 10-15% so do expect the rise in postage fees! so we highly recommend e-parcel for those who wana go budget yeah ;)

Boxes used will be of recycled boxes for all economy batch orders (not plastic boxes to save cost).

Thanks.

Why is the price lower?

The price is lower as we managed to cut cost by using cheaper shipping source, NOT reducing shoes quality (they're other sellers who'd offer lower price but please bear in mind that, the same shoes cna be manufactured by very different factories and we always want to get the best ones if not cheapest). With shipping cost reduced, we're able delivering lower price to customers. Other than that, price offered is almost cost price, for some, it is cost price, this is to reward our customers for supporting Shoe Story along the way. It has been a great almost 2-years since opening!

Other Promotions! There's still more? YES!!

During the period of Economy Batch, 2 lucky customers for EVERY economy batch will enjoy free gifts from us! You'll love it, we promise! 

We'll update other on-going promotions on facebook from time to time. So makesure you don't miss the fun! Join our facebook page right now!!

Material Concern - pig skin

Along the years since establishment, Shoe Story has come across a lot of enquiries, complains, and worries from customers regarding the material used in making our shoes.

So the general question popped  is " Is your shoes made of pig skin/pig skin lining?". Although Shoe Story cannot guarantee that we're 100% professional in detecting pig skin used since we're not professional in leather, we are always trying our best to make sure that shoes we offer to muslim customers are not made of pig skin. IF there's any pig skin used as informed by suppliers or factories, we'll definitely inform customers by indicating in our item's details description.

However, there COULD be cases of factories not informing/forget to mention to us, thus, we do encourage concerned customers to consider this before proceeding to placing order with us. As much as we want to avoid that, we hope customers can understand that there could be possibilities of this to happen. However, you're advised to check with us. 

Then the question continues "how come there's 3 dots or dots ?" . To be frank, shoes with pig skin, like other leather, are normally priced quite high or is meant for more premium brands, and normally for more branded shoes/European labels. According to factories sales person, most factories make these dots so that these leather appear to be like it's made of real pig skin so that they can sell at higher price for increased revenue. But most of them is actually PU leather (man made).

From definition provided online, PU leather is a synthetic imitation leather made by Wet Process. It has the same feel, look and properties of real leather. This is also considered a Vegetarian Leather, it's very comfortable to wear and breathes well (source: here).
