Do you have a physical store?

Currently, HYP3 operates as an online-only store, allowing us to offer a wide range of exclusive sneakers without the overhead costs associated with a physical retail location. This enables us to pass the savings onto you while providing a curated selection of the latest releases. We are committed to delivering a top-notch online shopping experience, including user-friendly navigation, detailed product descriptions, and responsive customer service. While we don't have a physical store at this time, we are always exploring opportunities for future expansions, so stay tuned for any updates regarding potential physical store locations!

What does "unworn" mean for your products?

"Unworn" refers to items that have not been used or tried on. We sell only brand-new sneakers in their original packaging, ensuring that they are in pristine condition upon arrival. If you receive a pair that appears worn or used, please contact our customer service team immediately. We are committed to providing you with the best quality products, and we want to ensure your complete satisfaction with every order.

What is the mission of HYP3?

HYPE's mission is to make exclusive and authentic sneakers accessible to everyone. We believe that sneaker culture should be inclusive, allowing individuals to express themselves through high-quality footwear. By curating a selection of the latest and most sought-after releases, we aim to foster a community where sneaker enthusiasts can connect, share, and celebrate their passion for footwear. Our commitment to authenticity, quality, and customer satisfaction drives everything we do.

Can I be notified when a sold-out item is back in stock?

Yes! For products that are currently sold out, we offer a notification system where you can sign up to receive an email alert when the item becomes available again. Simply click on the "Notify Me" button on the product page, and enter your email address. This way, you won't miss out on the opportunity to purchase the sneakers you love once they're back in stock!

How do I stay updated with HYP3's latest releases and promotions?

Shipping

What shipping options do you offer?

We provide a variety of shipping options to suit your needs. Standard shipping is available for most orders, offering a reliable and cost-effective delivery service. For those who need their items faster, we also offer express shipping. Additionally, we provide a 48-hour shipping option for selected exclusive products, ensuring quick delivery of limited-edition sneakers. You can choose your preferred shipping method during checkout.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we offer worldwide shipping to ensure sneakerheads everywhere can access our exclusive products. Shipping rates, delivery times, and available carriers may vary based on your destination. Some countries may also impose customs fees or import taxes, which are the responsibility of the buyer. Be sure to check your local customs regulations before placing an order to avoid any unexpected fees.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping costs depend on several factors, including your location, the shipping method you select, and the size or weight of your package. At checkout, our system will calculate the exact cost based on these factors. If your order is under €200, there's a standard shipping fee of €4.95. However, when your order is over €200, we offer free shipping within the Netherlands. This means you won't have to pay any extra for delivery if your total is €200 or more, giving you a little extra value on larger purchases. Occasionally, we offer promotions or discounts, including free shipping, so be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for updates.

How long does shipping take?

The estimated delivery time varies depending on your location and the shipping option you choose. Standard shipping typically takes between 5-10 business days, while express shipping (if available) can reduce that time significantly, often delivering within 2-5 business days. For our exclusive products with 48-hour shipping, you can expect delivery within two business days after dispatch. Please note that external factors such as customs, holidays, or weather may impact shipping times.

How do I track my order?

Once your order has been processed and shipped, you'll receive an email with a tracking number and a link to track your package. This tracking number allows you to monitor the progress of your shipment from our warehouse to your doorstep in real time. If you encounter any issues with tracking or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our customer service team for help.

Can I change my shipping address after placing an order?

If you realize you need to change your shipping address after placing an order, please contact us immediately. We can update your shipping details as long as your order hasn't been dispatched yet. Unfortunately, once your package is on its way, we won't be able to modify the address. In some cases, you may be able to contact the shipping carrier directly to reroute the package, but this isn't guaranteed.

What should I do if my package is delayed?

Shipping delays can happen due to factors beyond our control, such as customs clearance, adverse weather conditions, or unexpected carrier issues. If your package hasn't arrived within the estimated delivery window, please check the tracking information provided. If there's no update or you're unsure of the status, reach out to our customer service team, and we will contact the carrier on your behalf to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

What happens if my package gets lost?

While we work with reliable carriers to ensure your order reaches you safely, there are rare cases where packages can get lost in transit. If you suspect your package has been lost, please contact us immediately. We will initiate an investigation with the carrier to locate the shipment. If the package cannot be found or is confirmed as lost, we will offer you the choice of a full refund or a replacement of the item, depending on stock availability.

Can I choose a specific delivery date?

While we don't offer a service to select an exact delivery date, choosing express shipping can get your order to you faster. For items with time-sensitive needs, you can contact our customer service team, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request. Please keep in mind that factors like weekends, public holidays, and courier limitations may affect specific delivery windows.

Which shipping carriers do you use for order delivery?

At HYP3 , we utilize various reliable shipping carriers to ensure that your order arrives safely and on time. We primarily partner with DHL and PostNL for domestic shipments, and for international deliveries, we also work with UPS, FedEx and DPD. These shipping services allow us to offer a range of shipping options, including standard and express methods, so you can choose what best suits your needs. All of our shipments come with tracking information, allowing you to easily monitor your package throughout the shipping process.

Returns

What is your return policy?

We offer a hassle-free return policy on most products. You can return items within 14 days of receiving your order, as long as they are unworn, undamaged, and in their original packaging. Please note that certain limited-edition or exclusive items may be final sale and not eligible for return. Always check the product page for specific return information.

How do I return an item?

To start a return, contact our customer service team for a return authorization. Once approved, we will provide detailed return instructions. Be sure to securely double-box the product, meaning place the original box inside a second shipping box for extra protection. Ship it to the address provided, including the return authorization form.

Do I have to pay for return shipping?

Yes, return shipping costs are typically the responsibility of the customer. This means that if you choose to return an item for reasons such as a change of mind or an incorrect size, you will need to cover the shipping fees. However, if the item you received was damaged, defective, or incorrect, we will gladly cover the return shipping costs and arrange for either a replacement or a refund. In these cases, we will provide a pre-paid return label and guide you through the process to make it as smooth as possible.

Can I exchange an item instead of returning it?

At this time, we do not offer direct exchanges. If you need a different size, color, or model, we recommend returning the original item for a refund and placing a new order for the item you want. This allows us to process your return and new order separately, ensuring that you get the correct item quickly. Remember that returned items must meet our return criteria: unworn, undamaged, and in original packaging. Please also ensure that the original box is shipped within an outer box to prevent damage during transit.

How long does it take to process a return?

Once we receive your returned item, we will inspect it to ensure it meets our return conditions. This inspection process typically takes between 3 to 5 business days. If your return is approved, we will process your refund, which will be credited back to the original payment method you used. Depending on your bank or payment provider, it may take an additional 5 to 10 business days for the refund to appear in your account. We will keep you updated throughout the process and notify you by email when the return has been successfully processed.

What if I receive a damaged or incorrect item?

We strive for the highest quality, but if you receive an item that is damaged, defective, or incorrect, please reach out to our customer service team within 7 days of receiving your order. We will promptly investigate the issue and work with you to resolve it. This may involve sending you a replacement item or offering a full refund. In these cases, we will also cover the return shipping costs and provide you with a pre-paid shipping label to make the return process as easy as possible. Please ensure the item is securely packed and double-boxed to prevent further damage.

Can I return sale or discounted items?

Yes, sale and discounted items are eligible for returns, provided they meet the same conditions as regular-price items: unworn, undamaged, and in their original packaging. These items must also be double-boxed when returned to protect the original packaging. However, please be aware that items marked as "final sale" are not eligible for return or exchange. Always check the product page for specific return eligibility before purchasing any sale or discounted items.

How will I know if my return has been received and processed?

After you send your return, we will notify you via email once we have received and inspected the item. If your return is approved, you will receive a confirmation email, and your refund will be processed. If there are any issues with the return — such as signs of wear, damage, or missing packaging — we will contact you to discuss the next steps. You can also track the status of your return using the shipping carrier's tracking number, which we recommend obtaining when you send back the item.

What if I miss the return window?

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns after the 14-day return window has passed. To avoid missing the deadline, we encourage you to initiate the return process as soon as possible after receiving your order. If you're unsure about whether your return is within the allowed period, feel free to contact our customer service team, who can assist you with checking the return eligibility based on your purchase date.

Can I return an item purchased with a gift card?

Yes, items purchased with a gift card can be returned under the same conditions as other purchases. Once your return is processed and approved, the refund will be credited back to the original gift card used for the purchase. If you no longer have the gift card, don't worry—contact our customer service team, and we will help you retrieve the balance or issue a replacement card so that you can use your refund for a future purchase.

What should I do if I want to change or cancel my order?

If you wish to change or cancel your order, please contact our customer service team via support@hyp3amsterdam.nl as soon as possible (within 24 hours after placing your order). We strive to process orders quickly, so it's best to reach out within a short time frame after placing your order. If your order has not yet been shipped, we will do our best to accommodate your request. However, if your order is already on its way, you will need to initiate a return once you receive it. Please provide us with your order number and the details of the changes you would like to make, and we will assist you from there.

Payments

What payment methods do you accept?

We offer a variety of secure payment options to make your shopping experience convenient. You can pay using major credit cards, including Visa and MasterCard. We also accept PayPal for secure and fast transactions. Additionally, for mobile users, we support Apple Pay and Google Pay. Customers in the Netherlands can use iDEAL for direct bank transfers. All payment methods are available during checkout, so you can choose the one that suits you best.

Is my payment information secure?

Absolutely. We prioritize the security of your personal and payment information. Our website uses industry-standard encryption technology, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer), to ensure that all data entered during checkout is fully protected. Your payment details are processed securely through trusted third-party providers, such as PayPal or Stripe, and we never store your sensitive payment information. Rest assured, your privacy and security are our top priority.

Can I use multiple payment methods to pay for my order?

At this time, we only accept one payment method per order. Unfortunately, it's not possible to split payments across different payment methods (for example, using both PayPal and a credit card). However, you can use a gift card in combination with another payment method, if applicable.

Do you accept international payments?

Yes, we accept payments from customers worldwide. Your payment will be processed in your local currency, and any necessary currency conversions will be handled by your payment provider or bank. Please note that international transactions may be subject to additional fees from your bank, so it's a good idea to check with them if you have any concerns.

Why was my payment declined?

Payments may be declined for several reasons, such as insufficient funds, incorrect payment information, or your bank blocking the transaction. Be sure to double-check that your card details, expiration date, and billing address are entered correctly. If the problem persists, please contact your bank to make sure there are no restrictions on your account. You can also try using a different payment method like PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

When will I be charged for my order?

Your payment method will be charged immediately once your order is placed and confirmed. This ensures that we can process your order promptly. You will receive an order confirmation via email with all the details, including the amount charged and the payment method used. If you use PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, the charge will appear in your respective account immediately.

Can I change my payment method after placing an order?

Unfortunately, once an order has been placed, we are unable to change the payment method. If you've made an error, the best solution is to cancel your order before it has been processed and place a new order using your preferred payment method. If the order has already shipped, you'll need to follow our return process once you receive it.

Will I receive a receipt or invoice for my purchase?

Yes, after your purchase is complete, an email will be sent to you with your order confirmation and an invoice. This invoice will include a breakdown of the items purchased, the total amount paid, and the payment method used. If you need a copy of your invoice or have trouble receiving it, you can always contact our customer service team for assistance.

Can I use a gift card for payment?

Yes, if you have a gift card, you can use it as a payment method during checkout. Simply enter the gift card code in the designated field, and the total will be adjusted accordingly. If your gift card balance does not cover the full purchase amount, you can pay the remaining balance with any of our accepted payment methods, including Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, iDEAL, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
