FAQ

The questions everyone asks

Are replicas legal to buy?
It’s a grey area that depends on where you live. In most places, buying a replica for personal use is treated very differently from selling counterfeits, which is illegal almost everywhere. We’re not lawyers — check your local laws — but the short version is: wearing it yourself and reselling for profit are not the same thing.
Will my order get seized at customs?
It can happen. Replica goods are sometimes held or seized, though plenty of orders arrive without issue. Good sellers and agents use discreet packaging to lower the risk, but there are never guarantees. A simple rule: never order more than you’d be comfortable losing.
How much should a good rep cost?
Enough to be made well — not so little that you’re buying garbage. The rock-bottom listings almost always mean rock-bottom quality. We break down fair price ranges for each category in our buying guides.
What is a “batch” and why does it matter?
A batch is a specific factory version of a rep. Two batches of the same shoe can differ a lot in materials, shape and accuracy — so “which batch” often matters more than “which seller.” Our Batches & Terminology section explains how to tell them apart.
Do I need a shopping agent?
Often, yes. Many sellers don’t ship internationally themselves, so an agent buys on your behalf, checks QC and forwards the parcel to you. We walk through how agents work, and when you can skip them, in our Buying Guides.
Are the products on RepDigest authentic?
No — and we’re always upfront about that. Reps are unauthorized replicas, not authentic products. RepDigest is an independent information site; we don’t sell anything. Our job is to help you make an informed decision with your own money.
